Abstract

The adsorption of anionic surfactants on carbon adsorbents modified with water-soluble derivatives of natural polymers, cellulose and chitin, is considered with sodium dodecylsulfate taken as an example. It is shown that such modification leads to changes in the adsorption structural characteristics and the particle size distribution of carbon-water suspensions of the original adsorbent, and to the emergence of new functional groups on its surface that are able to interact selectively with adsorbate molecules. It is assumed that adsorption of anionic surfactant on carbon adsorbents under equilibrium conditions proceeds via stepwise filling of the carbon’s porous structure: we first observe volume filling of micropores according to their sizes, and then the formation of a surfactant’s monolayer in mesopores and on the outer surface of the adsorbate. It is established by thermal analysis that the thermal stability of carbon adsorbents is enhanced through the preferential localization of anionic surfactants in micropores. The filling of mesopores and the outer carbon surface by surfactant molecules leads to a regular decrease in thermal stability and an increase in the adsorbent surface’s hydrophilicity.
