摘要
Hydrothermal carbon（HC） was prepared from walnut shells, which are abundant in Northeastern China. The prepared HC was used as a precursor to produce mtric acid modified carbon（MC）. The hydrothermal carbonization included dehydration and decarboxylation processes wherein the hemicellulose was completely decomposed and the celhilose was partly decomposed, with some oxygen-containing functional groups being produced. The aromati- city, specific surface area and pore content of the HC increased, but its polarity decreased. With 6 mol/L nitric acid and a modification time of 15 min, the specific surface area and pore content decreased, but the proportion of oxy- gen-containing fimctional groups on the surface increased significantly, thereby improving the dye adsorption performance. The adsorption of methylene blue and malachite green was best desclibed by the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. The adsorption capacity of MC was determined to be much larger than that of HC.
