The preparation of the second modification of activated carbon fiber loaded Mn

The Mn loaded ACF (ACF-Mn), prepared by impregnation method combined with activation method under high temperature, can be second modified. The best second modifiers, modifier concentration and activation time condition for ACF-Mn was determine by orthogonal experiments. The modified ACF was characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS and other ways. The results show that the optimal conditions for the second modification was that at 700 degrees C under the protection of N2 activation for 50 min when the modifier concentration of CuSO4 was 10%. The iodine adsorption value of the second modified ACF is 1605.36 mgg-1, and the content of basic functional groups is 119.86 mmolg-1. The granular Cu, Mn attached to the surface of ACF and significantly increased its crystallinity. This is helpful to increase the surface area and enhance its adsorption properties.
