Activated bio-chars derived from rice husk via one- and two-step KOH-catalyzed pyrolysis for phenol adsorption

Abstract

The activated bio-chars (AB) were successfully synthesized from rice husk by one- and two-step KOH-catalyzed pyrolysis. The two-step pyrolysis can produce the high yields of AB compared to the one-step pyrolysis. Moreover, the yield of AB decreased with the increase of the mass ratio of KOH and char, which had a significant effect on the development of the surface area and porosity of carbon. In particular, the AB derived from the two-step pyrolysis at 750°C (mass ratio of KOH and char was 3) had the highest specific surface area (SBET=2138m2/g) with many micro-porous structures, which was favored for the phenol adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of AB2-3-750 reached 201mg/g because of its excellent surface porosity property. The phenol can be efficiently removed from water by only several minutes. The Langmuir model defined well the adsorption isotherm with a high correlation coefficient value, indicating a monolayer adsorption behavior. And the adsorption process defined well with the pseudo-second-order model. The phenol molecules passed into the internal surface via the liquid-film controlled diffusion, so the behavior of phenol adsorption onto the AB was predominantly controlled via the chemisorption. Furthermore, the functional groups on the outer surfaces of AB can attract the phenol molecules onto the internal surfaces via "π-π dispersion interaction" and "donor-acceptor effect".

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.
