Polyaniline (pANI) was pyrolyzed under a nitrogen atmosphere to get porous pANI-derived carbons (PDCs). To increase the porosity of the carbons further, the PDCs were activated at 600-800 degrees C in the presence of KOH. The obtained PDCs were firstly applied in liquid-phase adsorptions in order to remove hazardous organics from both water and fuel effectively via adsorption. PDC-700, activated at 700 degrees C, showed record high adsorption capacities from water for the removal of hazardous organics such as diethyl phthalate and Janus Green B, as representative organics for industrial chemicals (endocrine disturbing agent) and organic dyes, respectively. Moreover, PDC-700 had record high adsorption capacity for the removal of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene from a model fuel. The plausible mechanisms were also suggested to explain the remarkable adsorptions both from water and fuel. The adsorbents could be regenerated in a facile way and reused in adsorption up to several cycles. Therefore, the PDCs could be suggested as a new class of adsorbents for the purification of both water contaminated with organics and fuel having a high concentration of thiophenics.
