ABSTRACT
In this study, acid-modified activated carbon fibers (ACF-Ps) were synthesized by phosphorylation. Three different types of ACF-based adsorbents functionalized with PO43-, P2O74-, or P3O105- ions, namely, ACF-P1, ACF-P2, and ACF-P3, were prepared by phosphorylating ACF with trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4), sodium dihydrogen pyrophosphate (Na2H2P2O5), and sodium tripolyphosphate (Na5P3O10), respectively, and utilized as adsorbents to remove cesium ions (Cs+) from aqueous solutions. Among the tested adsorbents, ACF-P3 exhibited the highest Cs+ adsorption capacity of 37.59 mg g-1 at 25 °C and pH 7 which is higher than that of ACF (5.634 mg g-1), ACF-P1 (19.38 mg g-1), and ACF-P2 (30.12 mg g-1) under the same experimental conditions. More importantly, the Cs+ removal efficiencies of ACF-P3 (82.90%), ACF-P2 (66.2%), ACF-P1 (34.2%) were 29.3-, 23.4-, and 12.11-fold higher than that of un-treated ACF (2.83%). The results suggested that the phosphorylation with Na5P3O10 is highly suitable for Cs+ adsorption which effectively functionalizes ACF with a greater number of phosphate functional groups. Adsorption and kinetic data well-fitted the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order model, respectively, which indicated the monolayer adsorption of Cs+ onto ACF-P1, ACF-P2, and ACF-P3 which were largely controlled by chemisorption. Overall, phosphoric acids containing different phosphate-based polyanions (PO43-, P2O74-, or P3O105-) enriched -OH and/or -COOH surface functional groups of ACF in addition to P-containing surface groups (PO, C-P-O, C-O-P, and P-O) and facilitated the Cs+ adsorption through surface complexation and electrostatic interactions.
