✦ Synopsis

Adsorption at 298 K of phenol, p-cresol, m-chlorophenol, m-aminophenol, and p-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions on activated carbons obtained from an original and a demineralized bituminous coal has been studied. The adsorption capacity of the activated carbons depended on the surface area and porosity of the carbon, the solubility of the phenolic compound, and the hydrophobicity of the substituent. The relative affinity of the phenolic compound toward the surface of the carbon was related to the electron donor-acceptor complexes formed between the basic sites on the surface of the carbon and the aromatic ring of the phenol. The adsorption capacity of the carbon depended on the solution pH. As a result, the adsorption capacity began to decrease at a pH value that depended on the difference between the external and internal surface charge density, as measured by electrophoresis and pH measurement of the slurry, respectively.

Activated carbons prepared from two bituminous coals were used to adsorb phenol in aqueous solutions. The major diþ erence between the coal precursors is the oxygen content. The carbon preparation consisted of carbonization of the coals followed by activation in to various CO 2 extents of burn-oþ .

## Abstract Activated carbons play an important role in the purification of air and of water. Whereas vapors are adsorbed by a micropore filling process, the removal of sparingly soluble species such as phenol and its derivatives is limited to the coating of the effective surface of the material. T
