Effect of Surface Oxygen Complexes of Activated Carbon on the Adsorption of 2,4,6- Trinitrophenol
Abstract
The adsorption isothenns for 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid) on five samples of coconut-based activated carbons (ACs) with varying. surface area have been studied. The results obtained show thatadsorption depends upon surface area but is not linearly related to it. The adsorption increases on oxidation with ammonium persulphate (NH4)2 S2 08) as well as on degassing at 600 °C. The resultshave been explained on the basis of the existence of surface carbonyl groups, where the 02 of thecarbonyl group interacts with pi electrons of the benzene ring of picric acid.References
