Surface modification and adsorption of eucalyptus wood-based activated carbons: Effects of oxidation treatment, carbon porous structure and activation method
The incorporation of oxygen functional groups onto the surface of eucalyptus activated carbon and its surface chemistry were investigated as a function of oxidation conditions, carbon porous properties and carbon preparation method. Under all treatment conditions of increasing time, temperature and oxidant concentration, liquid oxidation with HNO3, H2O2 and (NH4)2S2O8 and air oxidation led to the increase of acidic group concentration, with carboxylic acid showing the largest percentage increase and air oxidation at the maximum allowable temperature of 350 ℃ produced the maximum content of both carboxylic acid and total acidic group. Nitric acid oxidation of chemically activated carbon produced higher total acidic content but a lower amount of carboxylic acid compared to the oxidized carbon from physical activation. The increased contents of acidic groups on oxidized carbons greatly enhanced the adsorption capacity of water vapor and heavy metal ions.
