High adsorption of methylene blue by activated carbon prepared from phosphoric acid treated eucalyptus residue

Abstract

Abstract Activated carbon with large specific surface area (1545 m2·g−1) and total acid density (2.47 mmol·g−1) was prepared by thermal activation of phosphoric acid treated eucalyptus residue, and was successfully used for simulated dye wastewater treatment where it showed high methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacity (977 mg·g−1). The textural properties and acidic functional groups of the activated carbon could be adjusted and controlled by phosphoric acid/eucalyptus residue mass ratios and activation temperature. Moreover, acidic functional groups could enhance MB adsorption by converting the adsorption pattern from planar to side adsorption with a decrease in activation temperature. The adsorption process was well described by the pseudo-second order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model, and it was demonstrated that intra-particle diffusion involved multi-linear stages. These findings provide important insights for the efficient treatment of dye wastewater on an industrial scale using waste eucalyptus residue.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
