摘要

Abstract

Adsorption capacity of activated carbon prepared from spent tea leaves (STL-AC) for the removal of aspirin from aqueous solution was investigated in this study. Preliminary studies have shown that treatment with phosphoric acid (H

) increased removal efficiency of STL-AC. Characterizations on STL-AC revealed excellent textural properties (1200 m

as well as distinctive surface chemistry (1.08 mmol·g

and 0.54 mmol·g

0.5 g of adsorbent used

pH 3 and at a temperature of 30℃. The adsorption data were well fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model and obeyed the pseudo-second order kinetics model. The adsorption of aspirin onto STL-AC was exothermic in nature (ΔH

was obtained indicating feasibility and spontaneity of the adsorption process. The adsorption capacity of AC-STL (

) is considerably high compared to most adsorbents synthesized from various sources

due to the well-defined textural properties coupled with surface chemistry of STL-AC which favors aspirin adsorption. The results demonstrate the potential of STL-AC as aspirin adsorbent.
