Synthesis and Adsorption Performance of MIL-101(Cr)/Active Carbon Composites on Toluene

Abstract

This work was undertaken to analyze the synthesis and adsorption performance of MIL- 101(Cr)/Active Carbon composites (MIL-101/AC) on toluene. MIL-101/AC composites were synthesized by in-situ incorporation of activated carbon powder in MIL-101 via solvothermal synthesis method. The synthesized materials were characterized by N2 adsorption/desorption and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Result shows that the BET surface area of MIL-101/AC-5 was larger than that of MIL-101/AC composites and pure MIL-101, the adsorption of toluene on MIL- 101/AC-5 attained 1148.41mg/g, which was much higher than those of other adsorbents. Thus, the MIL-101/AC composites were potential adsorbents in toluene pollution control.
