The thermal desorption in water of phenol, 2-dichlorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, 4-nitrophenol and 2,6-dichloro-4-nitrophenol adsorbed onto an activated carbon is studied by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) in liquid phase and by temperature-programmed adsorption-desorption (TPAD). The TPAD thermograms indicate that the desorption in water of the five compounds is complete before a temperature of 300°C is reached. The five phenolic compounds are stable below 260°C. Application of the interruption test shows that diffusion controls the desorption of these compounds in water. High-temperature adsorption isotherms and TPAD thermograms indicate that readsorption occurs during thermal desorption. Study of TPAD permits the calculation of the activation energies of adsorption and desorption. The values of these energies afford values for the adsorption bonding energy that lie within the range of the hydrogen bond.

Adsorption of phenol and nonylphenol from aqueous solutions on microporous activated carbons has been studied. The phenol isotherm changes from L-shaped for surface oxygen group free carbon (I sample) to a two-stepped isotherm for oxidized carbon (IN sample, HNO(3) treated) Furthermore, the adsorbed
The temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) method combined with mass spectrometric analysis has been applied to the characterization of glassy carbon (GC) and modified glassy carbon surfaces. Five different samples of GC were obtained from a commercial resol type of phenol formaldehyde resin that h
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 .
