Mercury Removal Aqueous Solution Coke-Derived Sulfur Impregnated Activated Carbons |
Résumé : |
Sulfur-impregnated activated carbons (SIACs) produced from oil-sands fluid coke by KOH−SO2 activation were applied to remove mercury ions from aqueous solutions. A pseudo-first-order rate expression can describe the Hg2+ adsorption behavior of SIACs produced in this study. The rate constants were found to be 0.01−0.102 min−1. The Hg2+ adsorption capacities of the examined SIACs ranged from 43 to 72 mg/g, which were comparable to those reported in the literature (35−100 mg/g) and that of a commercial SIAC (41 mg/g). The adsorption capacity increased with increasing specific surface area (SBET) of the SIACs, and a positive correlation was found between the SBET-normalized adsorption capacity and the total sulfur content of the SIACs. Elemental sulfur, disulfide, and thiophene seemed particularly effective in Hg2+ adsorption, as SIACs with these sulfur compounds showed higher adsorption capacities in general. |
