This study focuses on the adsorption properties of activated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) fabricated by electrospinning polyacrylonitrile solutions dissolved in dimethylformamide, followed by heat treatment at high activation temperatures (700, 750, 800 °C). The samples were characterized by BET, SEM, and XRD. In addition, the adsorption energy distribution functions of CNFs were analyzed by using the generalized nonlinear regularization method. Comparative analysis of energy distribution functions provided significant information on the energetic and structural heterogeneities of CNFs. Furthermore, an investigation of adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of methylene blue (MB) and congo red (CR) revealed that the adsorption capacity and kinetics of MB are much higher and faster than that of CR on a given sample. Our experimental and theoretical results suggest that the CNFs used in this work may be widely used as an adsorbent.

Abstract The study of iodine adsorption on carbon black samples was made using inverse liquid chromatographic frontal analysis (ILC). Unlike HPLC supports, the efficiency of the chromatographic column filled with a carbon black designed for rubber applications is low. Then the front boundaries of a non-adsorbed molecule, like heavy water (D2O) or acetone, was taken as reference for the calculation of the desorption isotherms. The monolayer capacity of adsorption, Langmuir's and Henry's constants were determined from the desorption isotherms. It was observed that 40% of the surface of the studied carbon black corresponds to a phenomenon of irreversible adsorption of the probe, and that the ILC also highlighted the heterogeneity of the studied carbon black. The adsorption energy distribution functions of iodine obtained by this method are similar to those which were already determined by IGC-FC with the heptane -like probe. The differences in behaviors between two families of carbon black could be attributed to the surface roughness.
