A series of sorbents were prepared, and their performance on removal of phenol from wastewater was investigated in this study. It indicated that the suitable compositions for the prepared sorbent mainly consisted of 0.5 wt.% PtO, 4.5 wt.% MnO, 1.99 wt.% Fe 2 O 3 , and 2.4 wt.% CoO, respectively, and supported on Al 2 O 3 , shortened as an APMFC 1.2 sorbent, A, P, M, F, C indicated Al 2 O 3 , PtO, MnO, Fe 2 O 3 , CoO, respectively, and number 1.2 as the molar ratio of Co. Studies showed that the spent sorbent could be effectively regenerated at 240°C by gas mixtures of 6.0 mol.% steam balanced with air. Multiadsorption-regeneration cycles conducted on APMFC 1.2 sorbent indicated that it had good regenerability at the experimental conditions, and characterized results further confirmed that the APMFC 1.2 sorbent had stable structure, which implied APMFC 1.2 sorbent could be a promising sorbent/catalyst to be used in the process of removal of organic compounds in wastewater by adsorption combined with catalytic oxidation methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
