Abstract

The adsorption mechanisms of HANs on canvas fabric-derived adsorbent and modified adsorbent with ferric chloride and ferric nitrate solution were investigated. With the ferric nitrate modification (CF-Fe(NO3)3), the pore structure of the adsorbent was mesopore, while other adsorbents were micropore. With the mesopore structure of CF-Fe(NO3)3, the adsorption occurred both on the outer pore layer and inside the pore surface, which resulted in the highest adsorption efficiency obtained by the CF-Fe(NO3)3 adsorbent. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanisms of five HAN species were investigated. Physical adsorption is the main mechanism of HANs on CF-Fe(NO3)3 adsorbent based on the low adsorption energy determined from the D-R isotherm. The fastest HAN species to reach equilibrium and the highest removal by the CF-Fe(NO3)3 adsorbent was TCAN, which has the lowest solubility and more hydrophobicity. Besides the low solubility of HANs species, the halogen atom of each HANs species also affected the removal efficiency.  HANs species with more halogen atoms showed higher removal efficiency than other HANs species with low halogen atoms.
