摘要
In this study, activated carbon based on the waste macadamia nut shells (MAC) was investigated for potential use as an adsorbent for phenol removal. The pseudo second-order kinetic model best described the adsorption process. The extent of the phenol adsorption was affected by the pH solution and the adsorbent dosage. Equilibrium data fitted well to the Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 341 mg g−1. The calculated thermodynamic parameters suggested that the phenol adsorption onto MAC was physisorptive, spontaneous and exothermic in nature. Phenol desorption from loaded adsorbent was achieved by using 0.1 mol L−1 NaOH, ethanol (100 %) and deionized water.
