The application provides a
porous carbon material for adsorbing
heavy metals and a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of adsorbent preparation. The preparation steps of the
porous carbon material include: S1, stirring
hydrochloric acid dopamine and N-
hydroxymethyl acrylamide in
anhydrous ethanol, adding concentrated
sulfuric acid for reaction, filtering, and washing until neutral to obtain DTA; S2, adding
acrylamide,
acrylonitrile,
acrylic acid and 3-(acrylamidomethyl)-5-benzoyl-4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid into water to obtain a
solution system, adding
sodium hydroxide, the
intermediate product DTA and 2-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylbenzophenone in sequence, carrying out ultrasonic treatment, irradiating under a mercury lamp
light source, washing, and freeze-
drying to obtain PAAAS-D; and S3, carrying out
carbonization of the PAAAS-D after pre-oxidation treatment under a
inert atmosphere to obtain CPAAAS-D. The
porous carbon material has rich active sites and an optimized pore structure, and can efficiently adsorb Fe, Co and Ni heavy
metal ions.
