摘要/Abstract

摘要： Mineral matter in a residue (R_CG) from coal gasification (CG) was removed by two-stage acid leaching. Hierarchical activated carbon (HAC) was prepared by activating R_CG with CO₂. The performance of HAC on removing methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution was investigated. HAC was characterized by N₂ adsorption-desorption isotherm, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that HAC exhibits hierarchical pore structure with high specific surface area (862.76 m²·g^-1) and total pore volume (0.684 cm³·g^-1), and abundant organic functional groups. The adsorption equilibrium data of MB on HAC are best fitted to the Redlich-Peterson. The kinetic data show that the pseudo-first-order model is more suitable at low MB concentration, while the advantages of the pseudo-second-orderand the Elovich models are more obvious as the concentration increases. According to the thermodynamic parameters, the HAC-MB adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic.
