“…7 The introduction of nitrogen functional groups onto the surface of AC and replacing them with the existing oxygen groups has become a subject of great interest nowadays. 7,8 In this trend, oxidation pretreatment of the AC can enhance the incurporation of nitrogen into the carbon. 9 Nitrogen modification of AC is an effective method which increases its basicity, polarity of its surface and hence the specific interaction with polar adsorbates.…”

The nanoporous activated carbon (AC) was prepared from the eucalyptus leaves via chemical activation with KOH, then treated with nitric acid/ /urea (NOAC) and finally used as a new adsorbent for simultaneous ultrasound-assisted removal of basic red 46 (BR46) and basic yellow 13 (BY13) dyes from binary aqueous solutions. The NOAC nano-adsorbent was characterized with SEM, TEM, Raman, BET, FTIR, CHN, pH pzc and Boehm titration analysis. Both of the AC and NOAC samples had superior BET surface area of 2222 and 1572 m 2 g-1 with average micropore volume of 0.81 and 0.50 cm 3 g-1 , respectively. First order derivative spectrophotometric method was used for analysis of BY13 in binary mixtures. Small amount of the adsorbent (30 mg) was capable to remove high percentage of dyes (>99 %) in a very short time (8 min). The adsorption of dyes follows the Langmuir isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The adsorption capacities of NOAC for single solutions of BR46 and BY13 were 1111 and 1250 mg g-1 as well as for binary solutions were 769 and 909 mg g-1 , respectively. The adsorption thermodynamics were also explored. Exhausted NOAC was regenerated using HCl (2 M) and reused for five adsorption-desorption cycles with high performance.
