Porous carbons were prepared from petroleum coke by KOH chemical activation, characterized and used as adsorbents for uptaking a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): naphthalene, fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene and fluoranthene from aqueous solutions. The specific surface area (SSA) of these carbons ranges from 562 to 1904 m(2)/g, while their point of zero charge (pH(PZC)) varies from 2.6 to 8.8. The equilibrium adsorption of PAHs on all four carbons follows the non-linear Freundlich equation well. For any given PAH in the group, the adsorption capacity parameter K-f, increases with the SSA and pH(PZC) of the carbons, confirming the roles of dispersive interactions. For any given carbon, the value of K-f follows the order of naphthalene > fluorene > phenanthrene > pyrene. This dependence of K-f on molecular size suggests a certain degree of molecular sieving behavior of these carbons toward large PAHs. Under the condition studied, the uptake process is likely controlled by diffusive transport processes. And, it is unlikely that the competitive adsorption played any important roles in determining equilibrium adsorption of the mixed PAHs. Overall, the petroleum coke-derived porous carbon is very effective in adsorbing these PAHs. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
