Abstract
The effects of activating agents on the characteristics of the activated carbons prepared from the tea waste were investigated. A three-step chemical activation process consisting of impregnation, carbonization and the secondary activation or phosphate functionalization was followed for the synthesis of the activated carbons. The surface area and the total pore volume of the best-activated carbon prepared in the present investigation at optimized conditions were found to be 1,329 m2/g and 0.4167 cm3/g. The potentiality of the copper adsorption onto the best quality activated carbon with the highest surface area and pore volume was investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the activated carbon was 76.22 mg/gat room temperature (28 °C). The copper (II) adsorption onto the activated carbon followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics which satisfied the Langmuir and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) adsorption isotherms. Best activated carbon obtained from the present investigation may be recommended to use in water purification processes as a revamped copper (II) bio-adsorbent.
