Abstract
The dye and textile industry commonly employs activated carbon adsorption technology due to its cost-effectiveness and high efficiency. However, disposing of waste-activated carbon has a significant environmental and human health impact, and it’s a huge economic waste. This study investigates the kinetic and isothermal adsorption characteristics of Acid Red G dye adsorption by Powdered Activated Carbon derived from coconut shells. To effectively reuse activated carbon and maximise resource conservation, regeneration experiments were carried out using Supercritical Water at 24 MPa and 400 ℃ for 30 min. The experimental results demonstrated that, in comparison with thermal regeneration, supercritical water possesses the benefits of environmental protection, economic efficiency and extensive applicability. This is of considerable importance to the field of research concerning the regeneration of activated carbon.
期刊介绍:
Carbon Resources Conversion (CRC) publishes fundamental studies and industrial developments regarding relevant technologies aiming for the clean, efficient, value-added, and low-carbon utilization of carbon-containing resources as fuel for energy and as feedstock for materials or chemicals from, for example, fossil fuels, biomass, syngas, CO2, hydrocarbons, and organic wastes via physical, thermal, chemical, biological, and other technical methods. CRC also publishes scientific and engineering studies on resource characterization and pretreatment, carbon material innovation and production, clean technologies related to carbon resource conversion and utilization, and various process-supporting technologies, including on-line or off-line measurement and monitoring, modeling, simulations focused on safe and efficient process operation and control, and process and equipment optimization.
