Desorption behavior of ethanedioic acid and benzoic acid on activated carbon
Low-volatility organic acids are harmful to the environment. Adsorption/desorption study of organic acids on adsorbents is of great significance to control these pollutants. Here temperature programmed desorption method was used to study the desorption behavior of ethanedioic and benzoic acids on activated carbon. Results show that textural characteristics of activated carbon play a critical role since wide micropores (0.7—2 nm) and narrow micropores (<0.7 nm) dominate the adsorption at active sites Ⅰ and Ⅱ
respectively. Interactions of ethanedioic and benzoic acids with active site Ⅰ (Ed = 101.63
112.43 kJ·mol-1) are weaker than those with active site Ⅱ (Ed =118.01
130.87 kJ·mol-1)
whereas the adsorption amount on active site Ⅰ is much larger than that on active site Ⅱ. Molecular sieving effect is shown to explain the fact that ethanedioic acid with a chain structure and smaller kinetic diameter is easier to be adsorbed into narrow micropores as compared to benzoic acid with a circular structure and larger kinetic diameter.
