The influence of the pore size distribution of activated carbon on the adsorption of phenol from aqueous solutions was explored. Activated carbons with different porous structures were prepared by gasifying a bituminous coal char to different extents of burn-off. The results of adsorption experiment

โฆ Synopsis
Phenol adsorbs in two ways on activated carbons: by physisorption and chemisorption. During the course of time and by raising the tempera~re, chemiso~t~on is increased and part of the physisor~ phenoi becomes chemisorbed. This phenol is impossible to remove as such. Upon heating to elevated temperatures it decomposes, depositing carbon, resulting in a decrease in the adsorption capacity of activated carbons. By studying this, we have been able to find adsorption conditions which prevent phenol chemisorption and yield a method of 100% regeneration of phenol-polluted activated carbons.

Activated carbons prepared from two bituminous coals were used to adsorb phenol in aqueous solutions. The major diรพ 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-oรพ .
