Regeneration of Sibunit Carbon Material Previously Used in the Adsorption of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid by Microwave Radiation

Abstract

Abstract: The possibility of reusing mesoporous Sibunit as an adsorbent for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid was studied. The effectiveness of using microwave radiation to restore the adsorption properties of the studied adsorbent was shown. A decrease in the average pore size on the surface of the Sibunit sample was noted as the adsorption–regeneration cycles were carried out without reducing the value of the adsorption capacity.
