Removal of selected phthalates from aqueous solution by mesoporous-ordered carbon adsorbent

Abstract

In the present work adsorption of selected phthalates from the water samples on mesoporous carbon material was investigated. Carbon material was obtained by soft-templating method in the presence of citric acid. Adsorption process of phthalates was carried out from water solution using static method with sonication for process acceleration. Phthalates extraction from water phase, after adsorption on carbon material, was carried out using solid phase microextraction method. Extracted samples were analyzed using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry method. Considering obtained experimental results it can be indicated that almost 100% of phthalates were adsorbed from water solutions. The efficiency of adsorption decreases with increasing molecular weight of phthalates.

Activation of peroxymonosulfate by cow manure biochar@1T-MoS2 for enhancing degradation of dimethyl phthalate: Performance and mechanism

“…Various physical, biological, and chemical treatments have been utilized by researcher for the removal of DMP. Adsorption (Jedynak et al, 2017), atmospheric plasma (Ulucan-Altuntas et al, 2022), and biological treatments (Zhang et al, 2016;Zhou et al, 2022;Zhao et al, 2023) are mature methods removing DMP from the surrounding environment, but failing to degrade the target organic pollutant and varying performances influenced by multiple factors. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have raised much attention from researcher.…”
