Abstract
The nitrogen-doped activated carbon (NAC) with high specific area (3140.76 m2·g− 1) derived from pomelo peel was prepared using hydrothermal carbonization, nitrogen doping and KOH activation method for the effective removal of Doxycycline (DOX) from aqueous solution. NAC showed exceptional adsorption efficacy for DOX than non-doped activated carbon (AC), which was attributed to the rich N-containing functional groups on the NAC surface and well-developed pore structure. The adsorption equilibrium data of DOX on NAC was fitted well to the Sips isotherm model and the adsorption process was spontaneous, endothermic and randomness-increasing. The Elovich kinetic model could better describe the adsorption process of DOX. The adsorption mechanisms of DOX onto NAC could be attributed to the hydrogen bonding, π-π electron donor-acceptor (EDA) interaction, hydrophobic effect and electrostatic interaction. Besides, the N-doping enhanced the adsorption performance of NAC. The maximum saturated adsorption capacity of NAC was 1559.35 mg·g− 1 at 298 K, indicating that the NAC could be a promising adsorbent for removing Doxycycline from wastewater.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Porous Materials is an interdisciplinary and international periodical devoted to all types of porous materials. Its aim is the rapid publication
of high quality, peer-reviewed papers focused on the synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation of all porous materials. The objective is to
establish a unique journal that will serve as a principal means of communication for the growing interdisciplinary field of porous materials.
Porous materials include microporous materials with 50 nm pores.
Examples of microporous materials are natural and synthetic molecular sieves, cationic and anionic clays, pillared clays, tobermorites, pillared Zr and Ti
phosphates, spherosilicates, carbons, porous polymers, xerogels, etc. Mesoporous materials include synthetic molecular sieves, xerogels, aerogels, glasses, glass
ceramics, porous polymers, etc.; while macroporous materials include ceramics, glass ceramics, porous polymers, aerogels, cement, etc. The porous materials
can be crystalline, semicrystalline or noncrystalline, or combinations thereof. They can also be either organic, inorganic, or their composites. The overall
objective of the journal is the establishment of one main forum covering the basic and applied aspects of all porous materials.
