The structure and surface chemical properties of activated carbon after nitric acid modification and their influences on adsorption and catalytic ozonation of acid red 3R were investigated. The results showed that both specific surface area and micropore volume of activated carbon decreased, but mesopore volume increased after nitric acid modification. The adsorption capacity and catalytic ozonation performance of modified activated carbon were influenced due to the increased surface acidic functional groups. The adsorption capacity of modified activated carbon was enhanced under acidic condition due to dispersion interaction between increased surface acidic functional groups and acid red 3R. The increase in surface acidic functional groups of activated carbon was also considered to be responsible for improvement of the catalytic ozonation of acid red 3R under alkaline condition, because of their participation in the ozone decomposition and OH generation.

The surface properties and performance of activated carbon (AC) used for catalytic ozonation were investigated after nitric acid modification (N-AC) and Cu (II)-loaded (N-Cu-AC). The results showed that the nitric acid modification could increase the amount of surface functional groups of AC. As a result, the adsorption capacity and catalytic activity of AC could be improved. The surface functional groups and Cu (II)-loaded of N-Cu-AC showed a synergistic effect on catalytic ozonation, where the catalytic activity of Cu (II)-loaded was more stable. N-Cu-AC was an effective and reusable catalyst for catalytic ozonation. The highest TOC removal efficiency of 58.0% could be achieved when N-Cu-AC was used for 60 min-catalytic ozonation treatment of acid red 3R.

The blue coke activated carbon (BAC) modified by nitric acid at different concentrations was used as an adsorbent to remove COD from coking wastewater. Characterization of BAC was performed using N2 adsorption/desorption techniques, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Boehm titration. The results showed the Brunner–Emmet–Teller (BET) specific surface area and iodine value of BAC became higher after modification, and the adsorption capacity of BAC for coking wastewater was effectively improved with nitric acid modification. The optimal nitric acid concentration for modification was 3 mol/L (BAC-N3), which had more acid functional group contents than unmodified. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was to reach 77.05% when 4 g BAC-N3 was added into 50 mL coking wastewater in 120 min with a shaking speed of 100 rpm at 25°C. Langmuir model could better describe equilibrium adsorption data by BAC-N3, and the kinetic study showed that the adsorption process was best fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.
