Abstract:
:In this study, highly porous N/S doped magnetic carbon aerogel (N/S-MCA) was successfully fabricated using sugarcane bagasse based cellulose and used for the removal of bisphenol‑A (BPA) from aqueous solution. The fabricated N/S-MCA nanocomposite derived from cellulose was characterized by various analytical techniques and supports the formation of the N/S-MCA in good yield and high purity. The batch adsorption studies were used for the adsorption of BPA onto N/S-MCA. The maximum removal of the BPA (98-99%) by the N/S-MCA was noted at pH 7, temperature 343 K, and initial BPA concentration of 100 ppm. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order reaction kinetics, as well as Langmuir isotherms. The thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption (the Gibbs free energy, entropy, and enthalpy) supported the spontaneity of the adsorption process. The results revealed that the mechanism on the synergistic adsorption between N/S doped magnetic carbon aerogel and BPA will therefore be an important guideline to design a carbon based adsorbent for high-efficient adsorption of environmental pollutants.
