Adsorption of organic pollutants (OPs), bisphenol A, and diuron, from aqueous solutions onto porous carbon materials (CMs) prepared from olive kernels, have been investigated. The effects of initial pH, initial OP concentration, temperature, and contact time on the adsorption capacity were studied. The adsorption of bisphenol A and diuron onto CMs was found to be optimal at pH 5.6 and 6.9, respectively. It was noticed that the adsorption of those organic pollutants from aqueous solution declined with increasing temperature and the process is exothermic. The rate of adsorption followed the second order kinetic equation. The equilibrium results showed that Langmuir model fits well with the data. The maximum adsorption capacities obtained using the best CM were 476 and 434 mg g−1 for BPA and diuron, respectively. The results showed that CMs made from olive kernels are an excellent and inexpensive biomass waste–derived sorbent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
