O-Nitrophenol(ONP) industrial wastewater causes serious harm to human body and aquatic environment. In this paper, we adopted a recycled MgO template preparation strategy to design series of semicoke derived hierarchical porous carbons. The prepared samples were characterized by N2 adsorption and desorption and scanning electron microscope. The analysis showed that the HPC-1 had a high specific surface area of 723.3m2/g with a huge pore volume of 1.64 cm3/g and exhibited remarkable adsorption capacity of 503.02 mg/g in batch adsorption test for ONP. Adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics revealed the adsorption mechanism of ONP molecules on HPCs surfaces, which followed the langmuir monolayer adsorption and pseudo-second-order kinetic. Furthermore, the HPC-1 exhibited good reusability and recycling performance, reflecting its great potential in practical application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
