ACF/CNT复合材料的制备及其对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附性能

以硝酸镍为催化剂前驱体,C2H2为碳源,H2为还原气,N2为载气,采用化学气相沉积法(CVD)在活性炭纤维(ACFs)毡体的纤维表面催化生长碳纳米管(CNTs),制备ACF/CNT复合材料。经测定,所制复合材料比表面积可达62.56 m2/g;扫描电镜分析表明,CNTs在ACFs表面分布均匀而致密,经过表面修饰可以作为1种良好的吸附材料。选择低浓度的六价铬(Cr(Ⅵ))溶液进行吸附研究,考察振荡时间、溶液pH值以及溶液的初始浓度等因素对吸附行为的影响。实验结果表明,初始Cr(Ⅵ)浓度为1 mg/L,在25℃时,随着振荡时间的增长溶液中Cr(Ⅵ)的脱除率逐渐增加,在150 min时达到最大值49.48%。溶液中Cr(Ⅵ)的脱除率随着pH的减小而增大,当pH值为2.0时脱除率达91.50%,对Cr(Ⅵ)的吸附量随着溶液初始浓度的增加而增大,但是当初始浓度到达5.0 mg/L时,脱除效率到达最大值后开始降低。并对ACF/CNT复合材料的吸附机制进行了探讨。

Preparation of ACF/CNT composite and Cr(VI)adsorption properties

ACF/CNT composites were prepared by carbon nanotubes(CNTs) growing on the surface of activated carbon fibers(ACFs) through chemical vapor deposition(CVD),using Ni(NO3)2-6H2O as catalyst precursor,C2H2 as carbon source,H2 as reduction gas and N2 as carrier gas.Specific surface area of the composite is quite great and reaches 62.56 m2/g.SEM analysis shows that CNTs are well-distributed and densified on the surface of ACFs and ACF/CNT composites can become a good adsorption material by being surface modified.A...
