摘要: Cyanobacteria-based activated carbon (CBAC) was successfully prepared by pyrolysis-activation of Taihu cyanobacteria. When the impregnation ratio and activated temperature were 2 and 800 ℃, respectively, the optimal CBACs possessed an ultra-high specific surface (2178.90 m2·g-1) and plenty of micro- and meso-pores, as well as a high pore volume (1.01 cm3·g-1). Ascribed to ultra-high surface area,π-π interaction, electrostatic interaction, as well as hydrogen-bonding interactions, the CBACs displayed huge superiority in efficient dye removal. The saturated methylene blue adsorption capacity by CBACs could be as high as 1143.4 mg·g-1, superior to that of other reported biomass-activated carbons. The adsorption was endothermic and modeled well by the pseudo-second-order kinetic, intra-particle diffusion, and Langmuir models. This work presented the effectiveness of Taihu cyanobacteria adsorbent ascribed to its super large specific surface area and high adsorption ability.
