Electrosorption effect and desalination kinetic characteristics of reverse osmosis concentrated water with alkaline modified activated carbon fiber electrode
Abstract:In order to solve the problem of electrosorption efficiency in recovery and utilization of reverse osmosis concentrated water (ROCW), activated carbon fiber (ACF) electrode material was impregnated and modified by NaOH, KOH, and ammonia. SEM and FT-IR were used to characterize ACF before and after modification, and the removal effect, desalination kinetics and mechanism of ROCW by pristine and alkali modified ACF were discussed. The results showed that ammonia modified ACF had increased specific surface area and surface alkaline groups, decreased acidic groups, which corresponded to the acidity and alkalinity of the modifier solution. Ammonia modified ACF showed better removal of conductivity, ammonia nitrogen and COD, while NaOH modified ACF showed better UV254 removal. The ROCW desalination process of alkaline modified ACF could be better described by Elovich kinetic model, and presented selectivity and better removal efficiency for pollutants than pristine ACF. The adsorption process of alkaline modified ACF belongs to physical adsorption, chemical adsorption, and ion exchange. Key words:electrosorption/ ACF/ alkali modification/ ROCW/ desalination/ adsorption kinetics.
