Abstract
Industrial wastewater discharge leads to serious eutrophication of water bodies, but most of the adsorbents are difficult to selectively remove phosphorus and are difficult to use multiple times, therefore, developing an efficient and reusable material for removal phosphate is extremely necessary. In this work, a kind of highly selective phosphate adsorbent, microporous carbon material (MCM), based on glucose was synthesized by hydrothermal and activation method. The MCM were characterized by SEM, XPS, BET, element analysis, et al. The phosphate adsorption mechanism of MCM were investigated by batch adsorption experiment and model calculation. Results showed that MCM had a high adsorption capacity for phosphate in a wide range of pH (1.5–10). Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetic revealed that the process was endothermic and involved both physical and chemical adsorption. The main phosphate adsorption mechanisms of MCM are electrostatic attraction, ion complexation, hydrogen bonding, and physical adsorption. The ions competition simulation experiment indicated that the MCM was highly selective for phosphate removal. Furthermore, the phosphate adsorption tests were carried out on five kinds of water, and the removal rates were all above 99.98%. The 20 regenerative cycles experiment revealed that the MCM had high reusability. Therefore, this kind of novel glucose-based highly selective phosphate adsorbent with multi-cycle phosphorus removal performance can improve the eutrophication of water. This study provides a new idea for phosphate removal and expands the application range of glucose-based carbon materials.
