title: [Adsorption characteristics of phenol compounds in water by activated carbon fiber].
abstract: The adsorption characteristics of phenol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol in wastewater by activated carbon fiber (ACF) were studied. The surface properties of ACF were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermodynamic characteristics and mechanism of phenol, p-chlorophenol and p-nitrophenol adsorption on ACF were investigated by using the bottle-point technique. The results showed that the adsorption speed was fast, and ACF had good adsorption properties when pH < 7. On the same condition, the order of removal efficiency were: phenol (87%) < p-chlorophenol (96%) < p-nitrophenol (99%). All the adsorptions are physical adsorption, and the adsorption process were spontaneous exothermic reaction. All the adsorption isotherms can be well represented by Dubinin-Radushkevich equation and the sorption process were spontaneous exothermic reaction.
