Abstract

Eragrostis plana Nees is an invasive species in Brazilian territory, known for its high levels of lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, making it a valuable raw material for activated carbon (AC) production. In this study, AC derived from Eragrostis plana Nees leaves was investigated as an adsorbent for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamic assays were conducted to assess AgNPs adsorption onto AC. The AC exhibited a substantial surface area of 1030 m² g⁻¹ and demonstrated significant adsorption capacity for AgNPs. Both the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir models were found to best describe the kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption, with the highest adsorption capacity observed at 55 °C, reaching 140.19 mg g⁻¹ according to the Langmuir model. Thermodynamic analysis revealed an enthalpy change (∆H°) of 60.75 kJ mol⁻¹ and an entropy change (∆S°) of 0.2711 kJ mol⁻¹ K⁻¹, indicating that the adsorption process is spontaneous and endothermic. Additionally, the AgNPs/AC composite exhibited excellent catalytic activity in the 4-nitrophenol reduction, achieving a conversion rate of 97% within 10 min.

Eragrostis plana Nees 活性炭对纳米银颗粒的吸附：动力学、平衡及在降解 4-硝基苯酚中的催化应用

Eragrostis plana Nees 是巴西境内的一种入侵物种，以含有大量木质素、纤维素和半纤维素而闻名，是生产活性炭（AC）的宝贵原料。本研究将从 Eragrostis plana Nees 叶片中提取的活性炭作为银纳米颗粒（AgNPs）的吸附剂进行了研究。研究人员对 AC 吸附 AgNPs 的动力学、平衡和热力学进行了评估。AC 的表面积高达 1030 m2 g-1，对 AgNPs 具有显著的吸附能力。根据 Langmuir 模型，在 55 °C 时的吸附容量最高，达到 140.19 mg g-1。热力学分析表明，吸附焓变（ΔH°）为 60.75 kJ mol-1，熵变（ΔS°）为 0.2711 kJ mol-1 K-1，表明吸附过程是自发的、内热的。此外，AgNPs/AC 复合材料在 4-硝基苯酚还原过程中表现出优异的催化活性，在 10 分钟内转化率达到 97%。
