Abstract: | Sorption of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, phenanthrene, anthracene and pyrene) on three charcoals and their precursor substance (sawdust) was studied. The charcoals obtained by heating at 400 °C for different periods were different in chemical composition and structure. Sorption characteristics were described by a Polanyi–Dubinin–Manes model combined with poly-parameter linear free energy relationships. The results revealed that though partition could not be neglected for sawdust and charcoal containing large sawdust residue, adsorption controlled the sorption of PAHs on matured charcoals, where π–π electron donor–acceptor (EDA) exerted as the main molecular-scale interactions. Charring elevated partition coefficients (Koc) of the three PAHs more than one order of magnitude, which ranged from 105.74 to 106.58 on charcoals (for PAHs at equilibrium concentration Ce = 0.005Sw). Adsorption increased with the aromaticity of the charcoals, however, polar aromatic structure may stimulate sorption of PAHs due to the presence of π–π EDA interactions. |
