In order to prepare a cheap and efficient adsorbent, peanut shell based nitrogen doped hydrothermal carbon was generated in one step using hydrothermal carbonization method using peanut shell as carbon source and ammonia water as nitrogen source. A single factor experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of hydrothermal reaction temperature (160, 200, 240℃), hydrothermal reaction time (2, 6, 10 h), and ammonia addition amount (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mL) on the adsorption performance of peanut shell based nitrogen doped hydrothermal carbon for methylene blue. The results showed that under the conditions of hydrothermal reaction temperature of 200℃, time of 6 h, and ammonia addition of 100 mL, peanut shell based nitrogen doped hydrothermal carbon (PSC200-6-100) was prepared. The adsorption capacity of the 100 mg · L-1 methylene blue solution was 39.403 mg · g-1, and the adsorption rate reached 98.861%, which is 2.824 times the adsorption capacity of the undoped nitrogen atom hydrothermal carbon under the same adsorption reaction conditions. The adsorption of methylene blue on peanut shell based nitrogen doped hydrothermal carbon is more in line with the Lagergren quasi second-order kinetic model, and the isothermal adsorption simulation is in line with the Langmuir isothermal adsorption model. The adsorption process is a chemically controlled monolayer adsorption. |
