Abstract
Increasing concern about the air pollution caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) from diesel exhaust has resulted in the improvement of low-temperature desulfurization materials for the combined SO2 trap. In this study, coconut shell activated carbon (AC) is pretreated by nitric acid to prepare MnO2-based activated carbon materials for SO2 removal. The prepared materials are characterized intensively by SEM, TEM, BET, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. The SO2 capture capacity of these materials are measured at low temperature by thermogravimetry, and the SO2 equilibrium adsorption characteristic is also investigated. The results show that the concentrations of nitric acid do not significantly change the textural properties of MnO2-based AC materials. The content of surface-oxygenated groups (carbonyl carbon and transition) initially increases with the HNO3 concentration rising and reaches the maximum value when the HNO3 concentration is 10 mol/L, resulting in the enhancement of the SO2 capture capacity. SO2 capture capacity of MnO2-based activated carbon decreases after regeneration and keeps stable after several cycles of thermal regeneration. The experimental data for SO2 adsorption on MnO2-based AC composite can fit the Freundlich model well in comparison with Langmuir model.

Introduction
Sulfur dioxide (SO2) from diesel engine exhaust is a serious threat to the environment and human health, because SO2 has the major role in generating acid rain and deactivating the NO x removal catalysts [1,2,3]. Many technologies have been proposed to remove SO2 from diesel engine exhaust. Among these, the compact SO2 trap device upstream of NO x conversion device has been used successfully for the removal of SO2 to improve the longevity of NO x removal catalysts against SO2 poisoning [4,5,6].
As the temperature of diesel engine exhaust is in a wide region from 50 to 650 °C, a combined SO2 trap is proposed to completely capture the SO2 in this temperature region [7]. The combined SO2 trap has three parts: high temperature materials, middle temperature materials and low-temperature materials. The desulfurization material is an important factor for designing the combined SO2 trap device. The carbonates exhibits good reactivity with SO2 at the reaction temperature range from 400 to 650 °C, and the desulfurization rate declines below 400 °C for the reason that the reaction activity is limited by decarbonation [8]. Metal oxides (such as MgO [9], V2O5 [10] and hydrotalcite-like compounds [11]) with sulfate reaction path \(\left( {{{\text{M}}_x}{{\text{O}}_{\text{y}}}+{\text{yS}}{{\text{O}}_2}+0.5{\text{y}}{{\text{O}}_2} \to {{\text{M}}_x}{{({\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4})}_y}} \right)\) have good SO2 capture performance over the temperature range from 200 to 450 °C. Based on these fundamental studies, it has been found that most desulfurization materials are focused on the desulfurization performance from 200 to 650 °C for SO2 traps, and limited studies on the desulfurization performance from 50 to 200 °C desulfurization materials for the combined SO2 trap have been reported.
For developing the desulfurization performance of the combined SO2 trap, the improvement of low-temperature desulfurization activity of materials for the combined SO2 trap is needed. Rubio [12] investigated the SO2 capture performance of coal fly ash based on carbon materials at flue gas desulfurization conditions. Tseng [13] studied the desulfurization activity of copper oxide (CuO) supported on activated carbon over the low-temperature range. In the previous studies [14, 15], MnO2 has been found to exhibit remarkable sulfur dioxide capture capacity. MnO2 supported on AC have a promising prospect used as low-temperature desulfurization materials for the combined SO2 trap [7]. Manganese supported on activated carbon treated by HNO3 exhibited high SO2 removal capacity [16]. However, the relationship between the amount of surface-oxygenated groups and SO2 removal capacity of MnO2-based AC has not been reported yet.
In the present work, the high-specific-surface-area coconut shell AC is pretreated by nitric acid to modify the surface functional groups and used as a support to prepare MnO2-based AC composite by situ deposition method. Effects of the surface-oxygenated groups of MnO2-based AC composite by nitric acid treatment on the SO2 capture capacity are studied. The SO2 adsorption characteristics and regeneration performance of MnO2-based activated carbon composite at low-temperature range are also investigated.
Experimental section
Materials
The activated carbon (BET surface area of 1250 m2/g) made from waste coconut shells was supplied by Xinsen Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. Potassium permanganate and manganese acetate tetrahydrate were purchased from Beijing Chemical Co., Ltd., People’s Republic of China and were of analytical reagent grade.
The MnO2-based AC composites were prepared by situ deposition method, the formation procedures as shown in Fig. 1. The activated carbon was pretreated with different concentrations of HNO3 (from 0 to 15 mol/L) at 80 °C for 6 h, then washed with a lot of distilled water, and dried in a vacuum at 110 °C overnight. 2 g pretreated AC was added to 0.03 mol/L 100 mL KMnO4 solution and stirred at room temperature condition for 2 h, then gradually added 0.045 mol/L 100 ml Mn(CH3COO)2 solution and stirred at room temperature condition for 5 h, then washed with a lot of distilled water, and eventually dried in air dry oven at 110 °C overnight. The product is denoted as MnO2–ACx, where x represents the concentration of HNO3.
Characterization
In this study, the textural properties of the samples were analyzed by N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms using Micromeritics ASAP 2020 apparatus. The specific surface area of these samples was measured by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) with the nitrogen adsorption uptake at the boiling point of nitrogen of 77 K using a capacitive measurement method. The pore volumes were measured by nitrogen physisorption under normal relative pressure of 0.1–1.0 using the Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) method. Surface observation of the samples was conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi S-4800). Before SEM experiment, the sample was pretreated by gold-sputtering. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were recorded on a JEOL JEM-2100F electron microscope. The powder sample was ultrasonically dispersed in acetone for 30 min at room temperature and dipped onto a carbon-coated copper grid. The crystal structures were further determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD, X’Pert Pro MPD, Cu Kα radiation). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were recorded using a Tensor 27 spectrometer with KBr pellet method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was conducted to determine the chemical composition and functional groups using an XSAM-800 spectrometer (Kratos, UK) with Al (1486.6 eV) under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) at 12 kV and 15 mA. Energy calibration was performed by recording the core level spectra of Au 4f7/2 (84.0 eV) and Ag 3d5/2 (368.30 eV).
SEM and TEM analyses are employed to visualize the morphology and structure of AC and MnO2–AC10, as shown in Fig. 2. It can be seen that AC is a planar architecture with a well-defined pores (Fig. 2a). This planar-architecture structure of AC facilitates the adsorption of reagents and exposes more active sites for SO2 removal. After deposition, a large number of nano-flake MnO2 particles are only formed and highly dispersed on the surface of AC and no free nanoparticles are formed outside the AC nanosheets (Fig. 2b, d). The MnO2 nanoparticles are confirmed by XRD analysis (Fig. 3). The diffraction peaks of as-prepared MnO2–AC10 are similar to those of hexagonal MnO2 (JCPDS 30-0820) and the reflection peaks of layered AC become much lower, which also indicating that nano-flake MnO2 particles are homogeneously formed on the AC surface.
Desulfurization performance evaluation
Thermogravimetry (TG) was used in this study to measure the SO2 capture performance of the prepared materials. Figure 4 shows a schematic drawing of the TG analysis experiment. The amount 50 mg of a sample on a quartz crucible was slowly (5 K/min) heated to the target temperature in the atmosphere of nitrogen, and maintained this condition for about 2 h. Reactant gas flow (500 ppm SO2 in base N2) was controlled by mass flow controller. The total flow gas rate was 2 Ls/min. The reaction temperature of the TG experiment ranged from 50 to 200 °C for 40 min. The used MnO2–AC were regenerated in N2 atmosphere at a flow rate of 500 mL/min and at 360 °C for 1 h. Then the regenerated sample was cooled to reaction temperature under pure N2 steam. After that, a 2 Ls/min gas mixture (500 ppm SO2 in base N2) was controlled by mass flow controller and added into the reactor for further desulfurization–regeneration testing.
The SO2 capture performance of samples was measured. The SO2 capture performance per unit mass P is expressed by the following equation:
where P is the SO2 capture performance per unit mass [gSO2/gMaterial], s0 is the initial weight [mg], and s t is the weight after t seconds [mg].
Results and discussion
SO2 capture performance of the prepared materials
The SO2 capture performance of the prepared MnO2-based activated carbon composites (MnO2–AC0, MnO2–AC5, MnO2–AC10 and MnO2–AC15) was measured at the following conditions: 100 °C and 500 ppm SO2 in base N2 for 40 min. Figure 5 shows the SO2 capture capacity of the prepared materials. The SO2 capture performance of MnO2–AC0 was 26 mg/g. The SO2 capture performance of MnO2-based activated carbon composite increased after nitric acid pretreatment. When the acid concentration is below 10 mol/L, the SO2 capture capacity has improved with the increase of treatment concentration, and the SO2 capture capacity has attained the highest as the treatment concentration is 10 mol/L. The SO2 capture capacity of MnO2–AC10 is 44 mg/g, which is significantly higher than the low-temperature desulfurization material, such as coal fly ash (13 mg/g) [12] and CuO/AC (below 10 mg/g) [13]. However, when the pretreatment concentration is above 10 mol/L, the SO2 capture capacity has reduced with the increase of treatment concentration. The SO2 capture capacity of MnO2–AC15 has decreased to 28 mg/g. It is reported that the content of the surface-oxygenated groups of activated carbon increases with the increase of the acid treatment concentration [17], and the surface functional groups are the important factors for the SO2 removal [16].
Textural characteristic analysis of MnO2-based AC materials
The textual properties of the prepared MnO2-based activated carbon are characterized by N2 adsorption–desorption instruments apparatus and are shown in Table 1. The BET surface area and pore volume of the MnO2–AC0 are 1012 m2/g and 0.17 cm3/g, respectively. After pretreated by HNO3, the pore volume and average pore diameter of MnO2-based activated carbon are in the range of 0.17–0.20 cm3/g and 3.12–3.15 nm, respectively. It has been reported in many works that the liquid phase oxidation by HNO3 may not significantly change the textural properties of AC [18, 19]. The BET surface areas of the MnO2-based activated carbon are slightly reduced from 1012 to 918 m2/g after nitric acid treatment. The slight decrease in the surface area of MnO2-based AC may be due to the abundant presence of oxygenated groups introduced on the surface of the AC by the pretreatment with HNO3, which possibly block the entry of N2 inside the small pores [17, 20].
Surface functional groups on MnO2-based AC samples
The FTIR was carried out to determine the functional groups on the prepared MnO2-based activated carbon composites. The FTIR spectrum of the prepared materials (MnO2–AC0, MnO2–AC5, MnO2–AC10, and MnO2–AC15) is illustrated in Fig. 6. From the FTIR spectrum of the prepared materials shown in Fig. 6, the peaks around 3430 cm−1 should be attributed to the O–H stretching vibration [21], and the bands around 1623 cm−1 are normally attributed to O–H-bending vibrations combined with Mn atoms [22]. The relatively sharp peaks around 1395 cm−1 should be ascribed to C=O stretch from carboxylic groups [23]. The C=O stretch peaks of MnO2–AC10 are highest than the other prepared samples. The bands around 448 and 650 cm−1 should be ascribed to the Mn–O and Mn–O–Mn vibrations in octahedral MnO2 [22, 24,25,26], which further confirms the successful integration of MnO2 on the surface of activated carbon.
Surface functional groups on the prepared samples were further investigated by XPS analyses. Figure 7 shows the XPS spectrum of the prepared materials (MnO2–AC0, MnO2–AC5, MnO2–AC10, and MnO2–AC15). The C 1 s pattern of the prepared samples included four peaks with binding energy at around 284.5, 286, 288, and 290 eV. These peaks correspond to graphitizing carbon (C–C), phenolic (C–O), carbonyl carbon (C=O) and transition (π–π*), respectively [27, 28]. The corresponding binding energy and relative content of the samples are listed in Table 2. As shown in Table 2, compared with that in MnO2–AC0, the content of graphitizing carbon (C–C) in MnO2–AC5, MnO2–AC10 decreases, while the content of transition (π–π*) slightly increases. After acid pretreatment of AC, the content of carbonyl carbon (C=O) initially increases with the HNO3 concentration rising and reaches the maximum value when the HNO3 concentration is 10 mol/L. The maximum content of carbonyl carbon (C=O) of the as-prepared MnO2–AC10 was 16.55%. However, when the HNO3 concentration further increases, the content of carbonyl carbon (C=O) is decreased instead. This result showed a similar change trend with that of FTIR spectra for the prepared samples (shown in Fig. 5).
It is reported that the oxygenated groups of carbonyl carbon (C=O) and transition (π–π*) with the basic nature are more favorable for SO2 capture [28,29,30,31]. Therefore, the change of surface-oxygenated groups, carbonyl carbon (C=O), and transition (π–π*), was responsible for the better SO2 capture capacity of acid-pretreatment MnO2/AC composite. Thus, MnO2–AC10 with the maximum contents of carbonyl carbon (C=O) and transition (π–π*) exhibits the best SO2 capture capacity among all the prepared materials.
SO2 capture performance of fresh and regenerated MnO2-based AC composite
MnO2–AC10 was chosen to investigate the SO2 capture performance in low-temperature region due to its superior SO2 capture performance. The SO2 capture performance of MnO2–AC10 is measured by a thermogravimetry (TG) device at various temperatures (50, 100, 150, and 200 °C) for 40 min with a 2 L/min flow gas containing 500 ppm SO2 in nitrogen, and the results are shown in Fig. 8. From the results shown in Fig. 8, the SO2 capture performance of MnO2–AC10 increases with the experimental temperature rising. The prepared MnO2–AC10 has good SO2 capture performance with absorbance about 78.3, 59.2, 44.0, and 30.8 mg/g at 200, 150, 100, and 50 °C, respectively.
To investigate the thermal regeneration of MnO2-based activated carbon composites, the SO2 capture performance of MnO2–AC10 sample is studied at 200 and 50 °C with consecutive desulfurization regeneration cycles, and the results are shown in Fig. 9. The SO2 capture performance of MnO2–AC10 decreases after thermal regeneration and the decrease trend is more evident at 200 °C. At 50 °C, MnO2–AC10 has relatively stable regeneration performance with the increase of regeneration cycles, and the SO2 capture performance of MnO2–AC10 is about 18 mg/g after two cycles of thermal regeneration. It is reported that SO2 capture performance of the Mn-modified activated coke decreases after regeneration in N2 steam, and the desulfurization capacity keeps stable after several cycles of thermal regeneration [28].
Adsorption mechanism
Langmuir and Freundlich models are the most conventional equilibrium adsorption isotherm models to represent the obtained equilibrium data for heterogeneous adsorption on the surface of materials with a chemisorption process. In this study, the values of the constants for Langmuir and Freundlich models obtained from the experimental equilibrium data of MnO2-based activated carbon composite (MnO2–AC10) at a reaction temperature of 100 °C are displayed in Table 3. It is seen that Freundlich model fit the data reasonably well and the value of R-square is as high as 0.998. Freundlich constant (K f ) related to the adsorption capacity of 1.43 was calculated from the intercept of the linear form of the Freundlich model. Freundlich constant (n) related to the adsorption intensity of 2.03 was calculated from the slope of the linear form of Freundlich model. In comparison with the value of Freundlich constant n (1.059) of zeolitic tuff calculated by Al-Harahsheh [32], it is evidenced that the MnO2-based activated carbon composite exhibits high activity for SO2 adsorption.
Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters, such as heat of adsorption (ΔH0), entropy (ΔS0) changes, and free energy of the process (ΔG0) are determined by the following equations (2) and (3):
where R is the gas constant [8.314 J/(mol K)] and T is the temperature (K), and K f is the Freundlich constant (L/mg). ΔH0 and ΔS0 can be obtained from the slope and intercept of the linear plot of lnK f versus 1/T, respectively.
The decrease in negative values of the free energy (ΔG0) from − 1.11 kJ/mol at 100 °C to − 3.67 kJ/mol at 200 °C suggests that the SO2 adsorption on MnO2-based activated carbon composite is a more favorable adsorption process at elevated temperature [32]. The calculated values of ΔH0 and ΔS0 are 13.36 kJ/mol and 48.45 J/(mol K), respectively. The positive ΔS0 and ΔH0 values indicate that the degrees of freedom increased at the solid–gas interface during the sulfur dioxide capture process [33].
Conclusions
In this study, a series of MnO2-based AC materials are successfully prepared by deposition method with various concentration of nitric acid treatment to study the influence of surface-oxygenated groups on the SO2 capture capacity. After preparation, nanoneedle MnO2 particles are formed and homogeneously dispersed on the AC surface. The SO2 capture performance of MnO2-based activated carbon composite initially increases with the HNO3 concentration rising and reaches the maximum value when the HNO3 concentration is 10 mol/L because the as-prepared MnO2–AC10 has the maximum content of surface-oxygenated groups (carbonyl carbon and transition) for capturing SO2 more favorably. The maximum SO2-capture capacity of MnO2–AC10 is 44 mg/g. The SO2-capture performance of MnO2–AC10 decreases after regeneration, and the decrease trend is more evident at higher temperature. Furthermore, compared with Langmuir model the experimental data for SO2 adsorption on MnO2–AC10 fits the Freundlich model better. The calculated values of ΔH0 and ΔS0 were 13.36 kJ/mol and 48.45 J/(mol K), respectively, indicating that the SO2 adsorption on MnO2-based activated carbon is a spontaneous process.
