Study on removal performance of Fe3+ by biomass-based activated carbon and Liquefaction of Poplar Sawdust catalyzed by ferro activated Carbon

Abstract

The adsorption experiment of iron ions on biomass based nut shell activated carbon was conducted to explore the adsorption capacity of iron ions on biomass based activated carbon and the key influencing factors: pH value, initial concentration of solution and adsorption time on the adsorption effect of activated carbon. The preparation of supported catalyst of activated carbon iron and its influence on the effect of catalytic liquefaction of poplar sawdust were investigated. The results showed that the optimal pH value of Fe3+ solution adsorbed by activated carbon was 5.0. The adsorption rate of activated carbon decreased with the increase of initial ion concentration, and the adsorption equilibrium of activated carbon reached at 250min. The optimum concentration of poplar sawdust liquefaction catalyzed by iron supported on activated carbon is between 6mg/L and 10mg/L.
