Porous activated carbons derived from waste Moroccan pine cones for high-performance adsorption of bisphenol A from water

Résumé

Porous-activated carbons (ACs) derived from Moroccan pine cones (PC) were synthesised by a two step-chemical activation/carbonisation method using phosphoric acid (PC-H) and zinc chloride (PC-Z) as activating agents and used for the adsorption of bisphenol A (BPA) from water. Several techniques (TGA/DTA, FT-IR, XRD, SEM and BET) were used to determine the surface area and pore characterisation and variations during the preparation of the adsorbents. The modification significantly increased the surface area of both ACs, resulting in values of 1369.03 m2 g- 1 and 1018.86 m2 g-1 for PC-H and PC-Z, respectively. Subsequent adsorption tests were carried out, varying parameters including adsorbent dosage, pH, initial BPA concentration, and contact time. Therefore, the highest adsorption capacity was observed when the BPA molecules were in their neutral form. High pH values were found to be unfavourable for the removal of bisphenol A from water. The results showed that BPA adsorption kinetics and isotherms followed pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. Besides, the regeneration of spent adsorbents demonstrated their reusability. The adsorption mechanisms can be attributed to physical adsorption, hydrogen bonds, electrostatic forces, hydrophobic interactions, and 7C-7C intermolecular forces.
