Different treatment conditions were applied to shale kerogen-derived black carbon samples, showing varying effects on nonylphenol adsorption. ZnCl2 activation and oxidation treatments were found to be the most effective, improving understanding of the sorption and desorption mechanisms of NP from modified BCs.
Activated, oxidized, and solvent-extracted black carbon samples (BCs) were produced from a shale kerogen at temperatures ranging from 250 to 500 degrees C by chemical activation regents (KOH, ZnCl2), oxidative regents (H2O2, NaClO), and organic solvents, respectively. Extracted organic matter (EOM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were quantified in BCs, and they increased and then decreased with increasing temperature. Sorption and desorption isotherms of nonylphenol (NP) on BCs were compared with those previously reported for phenanthrene (Phen). The desorption hysteresis coefficients of NP were greater than those of Phen, while the adsorption capacities of NP were different from those of Phen. The micropore volume and micropore size were critical factors for the micropore filling mechanism of NP in BCs. The ZnCl2 activation and oxidation treatments were observed to effectively enhance the adsorption of NP and to remove native PAHs from the investigated BCs. But the KOH activation and oxidation treatments were not as efficient as expected. Moreover, the NP desorption hysteresis suggested that a hydrogen bonding and micropore deformation mechanism occurred on the extracted activated BCs. This finding improves our understanding of the sorption and desorption mechanisms of NP from the perspective of the modified BCs and their applications. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
