This invention relates to the fields of environmental and
chemical technology, specifically to a
nitrogen-modified
activated carbon adsorbent material, its preparation method, and its applications. The invention employs an
ammonium chloride solution impregnation method combined with high-temperature activation under a
nitrogen inert atmosphere to modify the surface of pretreated
granular activated carbon, increasing the content of basic groups on the
activated carbon surface, thus preparing a
nitrogen-modified
activated carbon adsorbent material. Experimental results show that the prepared nitrogen-modified activated carbon exhibits high adsorption efficiency for
carboxylic acid drug pollutants such as
naproxen,
ibuprofen, and
diclofenac. The preparation conditions of this invention are mild, the operation steps are simple, the required reagents are inexpensive, and the safety is relatively high, making it suitable for the treatment of drinking water,
sewage, and medical
wastewater.
