    Chemical modification of activated carbons and its effect on the adsorption of phenolic compounds
    (Universidad del Valle, 2015-06-19) Carvajal Bernal, Ana M.; Gómez, Fernando; Giraldo, Liliana; Moreno Pirajá, Juan C.
    (Eng) In this paper two commercial activated carbons, granular and pelletized, were impregnated with aqueous solutions of phosphoric acid (H3PO4), or potassium hydroxide (KOH) in 60% w/w concentrations under moderate temperature conditions (18 °C). It was observed that the impregnation with phosphoric acid increases the adsorption of 2,4-dinitrophenol regarding the starting activated carbon. The adpsorption was determined from isotherms in aqueous solution of phenol and 2,4-dinitrophenol, and experimental data were adjusted to the Freundlich, Langmuir, Toth and Prausnitz-Radke models. Langmuir was the model that best fitted for phenol adsorption, and Toth was the model that best fitted the for 2,4-dinitrophenol adsorption. The results showed that the impregnation of activated carbons without post further heating continued creating changes in surface chemistry and porous structure.

    Resumen Se sintetizo carbón activado a partir de cáscara de semillas de eucalipto (Eucalyptus globulus Labil), por el método de activación química empleando como agente activante ácido fosfórico, a dos diferentes concentraciones; 30 y 80 % v/v. Los carbones se caracterizaron texturalmente mediante fisisorción de N2, se determinó la superficie específica aparente por el método B.E.T., donde se obtuvieron valores de 2009 y 1027 m2 g-1, se utilizó la ecuación Dubinin-Radushkevich para obtener el volumen de microporo donde se reportan valores de 0.65 y 0.32 cm3 g-1. Se determinó mediante el método Bohem que los carbones son de carácter ácido, aspecto corroborado por la determinación del pH en el punto de carga cero. Se establecieron interacciones energéticas de los sólidos frente a soluciones de HCl y NaOH mediante calorimetría de inmersión, encontrando gran correlación con el contenido de grupos ácidos y básicos de los sólidos. Finalmente se evaluó la capacidad de adsorción de los sólidos con fenol desde solución acuosa, ya que este es un contaminante prioritario, donde se evidenció gran capacidad de adsorción de los dos carbones debido a las amplias áreas superficiales, volúmenes de microporo y la química superficial de los sólidos. Abstract Activated carbons were prepared from shell Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labil) by chemical activation using as activating agent solutions of phosphoric acid, at two different concentrations; 30 and 80% v/v. Carbons were texturally characterized by N2 physisorption, the apparent surface area was determined by B.E.T., method, values obtained were 2009 and 1027 m2 g-1. Dubinin-Radushkevich equation was used to obtain the micropore volume with values of 0.65 and 0.32 cm3 g-1. Boehm method established that the carbons are acidic aspect confirmed by determining the point of zero charge. Solid energetic interactions against HCl and NaOH solutions were established by immersion calorimetry finding great correlation with the content of acidic and basic groups of the solids. Finally, the adsorption capacity of the solid was evaluated with phenol from aqueous solution since this is a priority pollutant, where high adsorption capacity of the two carbons was evident due to the large surface area, micropore volume and surface chemistry of solids.
