Enhanced Styrene Adsorption by Grafted Lactone-based Activated Carbon
Activated carbon's porous nature and high specific surface area make it an effective tool for adsobing waste gas containing styrene. However, the mechanism by which oxygen-containing functional groups adsorb weak-polar styrene remains unclear. This study described the preparation of the modified activated carbon materials AC-S and AC-N using the acid leaching method. The pore structure and specific surface area of modified activated carbon, the evolution of oxygen-containing functional groups, and their impact on the styrene-adsorbing performance were investigated. The results demonstrated that acid modification significantly improved the styrene-adsorbing capacity of activated carbon. Physical and chemical adsorption impacted both modified and unmodified activated carbon materials, as determined by the adsorption kinetics studies and isotherm fitting analyses. Monolayer adsorption was more likely to occur on modified activated carbon. HNO3-modified activated carbon (AC-N) maintained its effective styrene adsorption pore size range. The increasing number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface improved the styrene adsorption performance of AC-N. Study of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface revealed that lactone group was a key factor in improving the modified activated carbon's ability to adsorb styrene. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that lactone group on AC-N strongly interacted with the vinyl group in styrene, thereby enhancing the styrene adsorption performance of modified activated carbon.

It is well known that urbanization and industrialization have resulted in the rapidly increasing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are a major contributor to the formation of secondary pollutants (e.g., tropospheric ozone, PAN (peroxyacetyl nitrate), and secondary organic aerosols) and photochemical smog. The emission of these pollutants has led to a large decline in air quality in numerous regions around the world, which has ultimately led to concerns regarding their impact on human health and general well-being. Catalytic oxidation is regarded as one of the most promising strategies for VOC removal from industrial waste streams. This Review systematically documents the progresses and developments made in the understanding and design of heterogeneous catalysts for VOC oxidation over the past two decades. It addresses in detail how catalytic performance is often drastically affected by the pollutant sources and reaction conditions. It also highlights the primary routes for catalyst deactivation and discusses protocols for their subsequent reactivation. Kinetic models and proposed oxidation mechanisms for representative VOCs are also provided. Typical catalytic reactors and oxidizers for industrial VOC destruction are further discussed. We believe that this Review will provide a great foundation and reference point for future design and development in this field.

The aim of this study is to obtain activated carbons from corncob wastes by ZnCl activation for toluene removal. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG), N adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Boehm's titration were used to test the characteristics of raw materials and carbon samples. The influences of preparation conditions such as carbonization temperature, impregnation ratio and carbonization time on the textural and chemical characteristics of carbons were investigated. Besides, the effects of porosity and surface functional group on the adsorption capacity were also studied. The best adsorption capacity of 414.6 ± 13.0 mg g at 3000 mg m was obtained when the condition was as follows: 1:1 impregnation ratio, 550 °C carbonization temperature and 1.0 h carbonization time. The Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Toth and Redlich-Peterson models were used to depict the adsorption mechanism of toluene on this sample. The recovery of toluene through vacuum swing adsorption (VSA)-temperature swing adsorption (TSA) process was also studied.Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Catalysts CuO<sub><em>x</em></sub>/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-IH and CuO<sub><em>x</em></sub>/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-IM were prepared, characterized, and tested for styrene combustion in the absence and presence of water vapor. The effect of copper valence of the catalysts on the catalytic activity for styrene combustion was discussed using the theory of hard soft acids and bases (HSAB). The results showed that the existence of water vapor in feed stream inhibited the catalytic activity for styrene combustion due to the competition adsorption of water molecule. HSAB theory confirmed that the local soft acidity of the catalyst CuO<sub><em>x</em></sub>/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-IH was much stronger than that of the catalyst CuO<sub><em>x</em></sub>/γ-Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-IM because of the higher content of soft acid Cu<sup>+</sup> on its surface, which increased the adsorption ability toward soft base of styrene and reduced the adsorption toward hard base of water vapor, and thus increased the catalytic activity for styrene combustion and weakened the negative influence of water vapor.

π-π Interactions are the dominating supramolecular forces in systems like carbon nanostructures, which are inherently constituted by large conjugated π-systems. Their skilful use has allowed the construction of fascinating supramolecular ensembles, thus opening a new avenue in carbon chemistry. In this tutorial review, we provide a short introduction to carbon nanostructures, and show the basic concepts of π-π interactions involving fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene.

The lignocellulosic derived cornstalk was sulfonated (SCS) to prepare an adsorbent, and cationic dye methylene blue (MB) was adsorbed using SCS to evaluate its usability. Sulfonation improved the number of carboxyl groups (-COOH) and increased the porosity and surface area of carbon. In the adsorption process in which MB is adsorbed using SCS in aqueous solution, the sulfone group expanded the form of the sulfonated adsorbent to increase the exposure of anions (sulfonic-acid (R-SO3H), carboxylic groups, and bonded OH-group) to the surface. As a result, the adsorption efficiency of MB, a cationic dye for SCS, was improved. The results of kinetics, adsorption isotherm and thermodynamics were suitable for Pseudo-2nd-order and Langmuir, and the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous physical adsorption. The maximal adsorptions capacity with Langmuir model was found to be 504.3 mg/g at 293K. Sulfonation improved not only electrostatic interaction but also π-π stacking in the adsorption process, which was very advantageous in adsorbing cationic dyes using lignocellulose-based adsorbents.
