Adsorption of dyes on activated carbon and graphitized thermal carbon black

Abstract

Adsorption of acid and basic dyes – acid orange 2 (AO) and methylene blue (MB) on three activated carbon (AC) – FAS, SKD and BAU different in porous structures and ion-exchange groups concentration, as well as on graphitized thermal carbon black (GTCB) was studied. The effective specific surface areas of AC, estimated by means of dye adsorption are nearly of 60, 50 и 40 %, respectively, of the areas, determined by BET nitrogen adsorption. Adsorption on AC and GTCB of the acid dye increases and of the basic dye decreases with reduction of pH value. Addition of 0.3 N NaCl to the solutions does not effect on adsorption of dyes on AC and GTCB. It is assumed, that the basic contribution to adsorption of dyes on AC is brought with hydrophobic interactions instead of ionic.
