Adsorción de fenol y 3-cloro fenol sobre carbones activados mediante calorimetría de inmersión

Abstract

Immersion enthalpies of five samples of activated carbon obtained from diverse lignocellulosic materials are determined, each with different activation degree in aqueous solutions of phenol and 3-chlorophenol for characterising the solid-aqueous dissolution interaction. The values obtained were between 6.80 y 13.9 Jg-1. Also, immersion enthalpies of these activated carbons in NaOH and HCl 0.1 M solutions were determined, obtaining higher values for the immersion enthalpy in HCl that ranged between 32.6 and 68.3 Jg-1. Immersion enthalpies values decrease with the increase of superficial acid group content of the activated carbons, which constitutes the determinant factor for the phenol and 3-chlorophenol adsorption in the solids studied.
