대나무 활성탄의 산 개질이 납과 구리 이온의 흡착에 미치는 영향

Abstract

Effects of acid (HNO3 and HCl) modification on the adsorption properties of Pb(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) onto bamboo-based activated carbon (BAC) were investigated through a series of batch experiments. The carbon content increased and oxygen content decreased with acid treatment. HNO3 induced carboxylic acids and hydroxyl functional groups while HCl added no functional group onto BAC. The pseudo-second order model better described the kinetics of Pb(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ) adsorption onto experimented adsorbents, indicating that the rate-limiting step of the heavy metal sorption is chemical sorption involving valency forces through sharing or exchange of electrons between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. The equilibrium sorption data followed both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The adsorption capacities of BAC were affected by the surface functional groups added by acid modification. The adsorption capacities were enhanced up to 36.0% and 27.3% for Pb(Ⅱ) and Cu(Ⅱ), respectively by the HNO3 modification, however, negligibly affected by HCl.
