The influence of the activation temperature, activation duration and steam flow rate on iodine adsorption value and regeneration yield of activated carbon was investigated. The response surface methodology （RSM） technique was utilized to optimize the process conditions. The optimum conditions for the preparation of activated carbon are identified to be activation temperature of 831 ℃, activation duration of 40 min and steam flow rate of 2.67 mL/min. The optimum conditions result in an activated carbon with an iodine number of 1048 mg/g and a yield of 40%, and the BET surface area evaluated using nitrogen adsorption isotherm is 1493 m2/g, with total pore volume of 1.242 cm3/g. And the pore structure of activated carbon regenerated is mainly composed of micropores and a small amount of mesopores.展开更多

The semi-coke from the coal industry was suitably modified by treating it with phosphoric acid, with a thermal activation process. The objective of the process optimization is to reduce the chemical oxygen demand （COD） and NH4＋-N in the methyltin mercaptide industrial effluent. The process variables considered for process optimization are the semi-coke dosage, adsorption time and effluent pH. The optimized process conditions are identified to be a semi-coke dosage of 80 g/L, adsorption time of 90 min and a pH value of 8.34. The ANOVA results indicate that the adsorbent dosage and pH are the significant parameters, while the adsorption time is insignificant, possibly owing to the large range of adsorption time chosen. The textural characteristics of modified semi-coke were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption isotherm. The average BET surface area of modified semi-coke is estimated to be 915 mE/g, with the average pore volume of 0.71 cm3/g and a average pore diameter of 3.09 nm, with micropore volume contributing to 52.36%.展开更多

The decomposition of industrial ferrous sulfate under air atmosphere was divided into three stages, and a ferrous sulfate sample added with 15% Fe_2O_3 could strongly absorb microwave energy. Therefore, preparing hematite powder from ferrous sulfate using microwave calcination was feasible. Hematite was obtained under the following optimized conditions: calcination temperature, 850 °C; microwave power, 650 W; and sample amount, 40 g. The obtained hematite satisfied the first-grade quality requirements. The total ferrum value was more than 58%, and the total sulfur and phosphorus contents were less than 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively. X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the structure and morphology of microsized hematite powder. The particles were non-spherical in shape, and the average particle size distribution was 10.45 μm. This work provides new potential applications for waste ferrous sulfate.展开更多
