Activated Carbon Oxygen Content Influence on Water and Surfactant Adsorption

Adsorption of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate on activated carbons: Effects of solution chemistry and presence of bacteria

“…This finding confirms previously published results [23] and indicates that SDBS adsorption on activated carbons mainly takes place by nonelectrostatic interactions. This can arise, given their hydrophobic nature, between aliphatic chains of the surfactant and the carbon surface and/or by dispersive forces between electrons of the SDBS aromatic ring and activated carbon basal plane.…”

Analysis of uncertainties in manometric gas-adsorption measurements

“…PICA, Australia). The choice of these two porous adsorbents is driven by the fact that FM1/250 is wholly microporous material, whereas Picazine's structure is both microporous and mesoporous [21]. Therefore, by applying the α S -method to these materials and having established CSU in respective pore volumes, we will be able to quantify the deviations in pore volumes for these classes of adsorbents.…”

Adsorption of organic molecules from aqueous solutions on carbon materials

“…Thus, Pendleton et al [7] showed (Fig. 6) that the adsorption of dodecanoic acid on different activated carbons linearly decreased when the oxygen content of the carbonaceous adsorbent increased and that there was no relation with the micropore volume of the adsorbent.…”
