What is Adsorption Enhancement of Hazardous Odor Gas Using Controlled Thermal Oxidation of Activated Carbon about?

Nitrogen-containing odorous compounds (NOCs) such as ammonia, ethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine (TMA) have potentially adverse effects on the environment and human health. An efficient and simple strategy for NOC removal is necessary. Herein, thermally dried activated carbon adsorbents (TDACs) were prepared, and their surfaces were subjected to controlled thermal oxidation at 50, 100, and 200 °C. The resulting TDACs exhibited micropore-intensive porous structures with different specific surface areas (SSA) (135–562 m2 g−1) and demonstrated 2–38 times higher NOC-adsorption capacity (12.35–102.92 mg g−1) than that of pristine AC in a fixed-bed breakthrough test. Comprehensive surface characterization revealed a correlation between the thermal oxidation conditions and corresponding SSAs. Density functional theory calculations revealed that multidentate hydrogen bonding potential prevails over proton affinity in determining the NOC-adsorption trend. The fractal-like kinetics of the classical adsorption fitting for the TDACs suggested a heterogeneous adsorption behavior (R2 = 0.9998). A competitive adsorption test for the TDACs using a binary mixture of TMA and benzene demon
