Issue Date: | Jul-2008 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Citation: | Journal of Environmental Management 88(1): 165-172 (2008) | Abstract: | Porous carbon has been prepared from waste antibiotic material by a chemical activation method using K2CO3 as an activating reagent. Carbon was studied systematically by the adsorption of nitrogen and iodine. It was found that the process parameters such as activation temperature and activation time are crucial for preparing high-quality activated carbon. The proper choice of the preparation conditions allows to produce microporous activated carbon with a micropore volume up to 0.492 cm3/g and a BET surface area of 1260 m2/g. Adsorption of mercury(II) from an aqueous solution on antibiotic carbon was investigated under the varying conditions of agitation time, metal ion concentration and pH. The adsorption capacity of the carbon is 129 mg/g. | Description: | 8 pages, 6 figures, 4 tables.-- PMID: 17428604 [PubMed].-- Available online Apr 10, 2007. | Publisher version (URL): | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2007.02.005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/11707 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jenvman.2007.02.005 | ISSN: | 0301-4797 |
