Abstract

2

A gradient pyrolysis approach has been adopted for synthesis of ordered mesoporous

3

carbonaceous materials with different surface and textural properties for removal of hexachlorobenzene. The resultant ordered mesoporous carbonaceous materials possess high surface areas (364 ~ 888 m2/g), large pore volumes (0.23 ~ 0.47 cm3/g),

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

uniform pore sizes (2.6 ~ 3.8 nm), and tunable hydrophobic properties. They show high-efficiency removal performances for hexachlorobenzene with high adsorption capacity of 594.2-992.1 µg/g. An enhanced removal rate (> 99 %) can be obtained with the increasing of pyrolysis temperature (900 °C), due to strong hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction between the carbon framework and hexachlorobenzene molecules. Furthermore, the adsorption behaviors follow the Langmuir equation and obey the pseudo-first-order kinetic model.

1. Introduction

2

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is one kind of typical persistent organic pollutants

3

(POPs). It was considered as a commonly efficient fungicide which was once widely

4

used in the last century and still could be frequently found in soil, sediment, water, air,

5

and also in biota nowadays [1-4].The presence of HCB in environment do great harm

6

to human beings and ecosystem [5, 6], causing dermatitis, severe numb in

7

cardiovascular and nervous system, and even cancer [7-9].Therefore, it is urgent to

8

develop efficient and economical methods for removal of HCB.

9

Up to now, various techniques such as chemical enhanced washing, electrokinetic

10

(EK) remediation, reductive/oxidation dechlorination, thermal decomposition and

11

radiolytic reduction have been adopted for the treatment of HCB in soil and sediment

12

[10-20]. However, there are few reports on the removal of HCB in water. In fact, HCB

13

accumulated in soil and sediment mainly comes from the surface water, for this

14

reason the treatment of HCB in aquatic environment maybe relatively crucial and

15

should deserve more attentions [21, 22]. While chemical properties of HCB, such as

16

hydrophobic property, bring a great challenge to researchers. Therefore, it is still very

17

difficult to find an effective approach for the removal of HCB in water.

18

Ordered mesoporous carbonaceous materials are emerged as the promising

19

candidates for pollutants adsorption and removal, because of their stable,

20

environmentally friendly properties, the ideal space for the fast accumulation of

21

organic pollutants, tunable ordered mesopore sizes ranging from 1.5 to 10 nm [23, 24],

22

and the remarkable properties such as high surface areas and large pore volumes 3

1

[25-27]. Especially, ordered mesoporous carbons are considered as ideal adsorbents in

2

treating environmental issues [28] due to the fast mass transfer in their mesochannels.

3

In addition, mesoporous carbons display the excellent adsorption ability for organic

4

pollutants, such as reactive dyes (Remazol Red, methylthionine chloride and

5

rhodamine B), alcohol biofuel, chloroacetic acid, aminoacids, toluene, lysozyme and

6

naphthalene from aqueous solutions [29-33]. However, there are rare reports

7

concerning removal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) using ordered mesoporous

8

carbons as the adsorbents. Furthermore, there is a lack of systematic research about

9

the effect of different surface properties of mesoporous carbon on their adsorption

10

capacities.

11

Herein, we detailedly investigate the removal of HCB from aqueous solutions using

12

ordered mesoporous carbonaceous materials calcinated at different temperatures (350,

13

600 and 900 °C) as adsorbents, which denoted as OMC-350, OMC-600, and

14

OMC-900, respectively. All these materials have ordered two-dimensional (2-D)

15

hexagonal mesostructure, open mesopore channels, and hydrophobic properties.

16

While the hydrophobic property of ordered mesoporous carbonaceous materials

17

endow the superior HCB adsorption efficiency (> 99 %). The sorption capacity and

18

kinetics were studied using the batch method. The results can provide necessary

19

information for a better understanding of the POPs adsorption and separation

20

involving mesoporous carbonaceous materials.

The carbon precursor, phenolic resin ethanolic solution (20 wt. %), was prepared

11

referring to the method of Meng et al [34]. The ordered mesoporous materials were

12

prepared by organic-organic self-assembly approach with phenolic resin as carbon

13

source and triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 as the structure-directing agent. The

14

synthesis procedure for ordered mesoporous materials was as follows. First, 1.0 g of

15

triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 was dissolved in 20.0 g of ethanol with stirring for

16

3 h to obtain a clear solution. Then, 5.0 g of phenolic resins ethanolic solution was

17

added with stirring for 3 h. After that, the mixture was poured into dishes to evaporate

18

ethanol completely at 25 °C for 8 h, and heated at 100 °C for 24 h to obtain the

19

as-made samples. Then, it was carbonized at different temperature (350, 600 or

20

900 °C) for 3 h under N2 to obtain the samples denoted as OMC-350, OMC-600, and 5

4

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns were collected on a Nanostar U

5

small-angle X-ray scattering system using Cu Kα radiation at 40 kV and 35 mA. The

6

d-spacing values and unit cell parameters (a0) were calculated by the formula

7

d = 2π / q and a0 = 2d10 ( 3)−1 , respectively. Transmission electron microscopy

8

(TEM) experiments were carried out using a JEOL 2011 microscope operated at 200

9

kV. The ground samples for TEM measurements were suspended in ethanol and

10

supported on a carbon-coated copper grid. The N2 adsorption-desorption at 77 K was

11

performed on a Micromeritics Tristar 3000 analyzer. Before the measurements, all

12

samples were degassed at 180 °C in vacuum for more than 6 h. The pore size

13

distributions were derived by using the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda (BJH) model. The

14

total pore volume (Vp) was estimated from the adsorbed amount at p/p0 of 0.995. The

15

specific surface areas were calculated by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method.

of

hexachlorobenzene using the ground samples in batch mode. The absorbate solution

3

was prepared by diluting HCB standard solution (100 mg/mL in methanol) to a series

4

of certain concentrations. All adsorption studies were conducted as follows: a fixed

5

mass of adsorbent was added into a conical flask with 50 mL of HCB solution with

6

various initial concentrations. Each flask was sealed, and stirred in a rotary shaker at

7

150 rpm under different constant temperatures (± 0.5 °C) for 24 h. After that, the

8

mixture was taken out and filtered using a membrane filter for further analysis. All the

9

experiments were carried out with repeated trials.

10

In order to screen out the optimal adsorbent with maximum adsorption ability, three

11

kinds of ordered mesoporous materials (10 mg) calcined at 350, 600, and 900 °C and

12

commercial active carbon (surface area of ~1900 m2/g, pore size of 0.99), indicating that the diffusion including

8

liquid film and intra-particle diffusion are the rate-controlling steps for the HCB

9

adsorption on OMC-900 material. The coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.996) for

10

pseudo-first-order model is higher than that for Lagergren-second-order model (R2 =

11

0.994), suggesting that the kinetic process can be better explained by

12

pseudo-first-order model. Additionally, the value of qe (933.30 µg/g) calculated using

13

the pseudo-first-order model is closer to the experimental data (962.31 µg/g).

14

4. Conclusions

15

In summary, ordered mesoporous carbonaceous materials with different surface

16

properties have been successfully synthesized by organic-organic self-assembly

17

method with phenolic resin as carbon source, triblock copolymer Pluronic F127 as

18

structure-directing agent at different pyrolysis temperature. The obtained OMC-350,

19

OMC-600 and OMC-900 have ordered hexagonal mesostructures, uniform pore size

20

distribution, high surface area for adsorption removal of HCB. OMC-900 material

21

show the highest adsorption capacity (992.09 µg/g), which is higher than that of 17

1

commercial active carbon at 25 °C (809.05 µg/g). Theoretical fitted results based on

2

thermodynamics data indicate that the adsorption of HCB is physical adsorption with

3

an exothermic process. Meanwhile, these equilibrium data fit well with the Sip’s

4

isotherm model and demonstrate a heterogeneous adsorption. The adsorption of HCB

5

by OMC-900 can be well explained by a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. This new

6

kind of ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC-900) with high surface area and

7

hydrophobic characteristic is supposed to be applied in the adsorption of hydrophobic

8

pollutants from water.
