Problems solved by technology

The research on activators is relatively comprehensive. The chemical activators currently used mainly include: KOH, H 3 PO 4 , ZnCl 2 , NaOH, K 2 CO 3 、Na 2 CO 3 etc., but the existing methods all use a single activator, and there are still very few studies on compound activators
The specific surface area of ​​activated carbon prepared by existing methods can be as high as 3000m 2 Above 2nm, the adsorption performance has also been greatly imp...

Embodiment 1

[0016] In this embodiment, coconut fiber is used as a raw material, and KOH is used as an activator.

[0017] First, the raw material coconut fiber is carbonized at 600°C for 30min, 7g of carbonized material is ground and mixed with KOH at a ratio of 1:2, and then the mixture is subjected to a constant temperature activation reaction at 850°C for 120min, and the heating rate is 15 °C / min. After the activation reaction, the product was taken out, ground and washed with tap water to remove KOH therein, and then chloride ions were washed away with distilled water. Then put it in a drying oven and dry it at 120°C before loading. The prepared activated carbon is mainly microporous, with an iodine adsorption value of 1894mg / g and a specific surface area of ​​2158m 2 .g -1 , The total pore volume is 1.0466ml.g -1 .

Embodiment 2

[0020] In this embodiment, coconut fiber is used as a raw material, and NaOH and KOH are used as composite activators.

[0021] First carbonize the raw material coconut fiber at 400°C, take 20g of carbonized material and composite activator at a ratio of 3:1:1 (NaOH:KOH:carbonized material), grind and mix evenly, put the mixture into a stainless steel tube and place it at 900 The activation reaction was carried out at ℃ for 120 minutes, and the heating rate of the activation reaction was 15 ℃ / min. After the activation reaction is completed, the product is taken out and washed with an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, then washed with excess deionized water, and finally dried and collected at 150°C. The prepared activated carbon has a high mesoporosity up to 24.8%, its iodine adsorption value is 1435.0mg / g, methylene blue adsorption value is 495mg / g, and its specific surface area is 2031.9m 2 / g, the yield can reach 48.76%.
