Resumen
[ES]El efecto de la modificación química y textural de dos carbones activados granulares se estudió por oxidación con (NH4)2S2O8 y H2O2. La oxidación de los carbones, produce un incremento del número de complejos superficiales de oxígeno de carácter ácido, predominando los grupos carboxílicos. El incremento en el contenido de oxígeno aumenta la acidez total y disminuye la basicidad total de los carbones. Además se produce una disminución acusada en el punto cero de carga de los carbones.
Los parámetros texturales se evaluaron mediante adsorción de gases. El área superficial y el volumen de microporos decrecen debido a la destrucción de las paredes de los microporos durante el proceso de oxidación. Los carbones activados presentan una distribución muy ancha en el tamaño de los microporos dando lugar a una microporosidad heterogénea como se observa a partir de los valores de volumen de microporos determinados con N2 y CO2.
[EN]The effect of textural and chemical modifications on the surface of two granular activated carbons by oxidation with (NH4)2S2O8 and H2O2 were studied. The oxidation process of activated carbons increased the number of surface oxygen complexes of acid character, with a predominance of carboxyl groups. The increase of total oxygen content produces an increase in total acid groups and a decrease in total basic groups of activated carbons. Moreover, it is produced a greatly decrease in pH at the point of zero charge. Textural parameters were assessed by gas adsorption. BET surface area and the micropore volume decrease because of destruction of micropore walls during the oxidation process. Activated carbons show a wide distribution in width of the micropores, which may indicate heterogeneous microporosity as seem from W0 values obtained from N2 and CO2 adsorption isotherms.
