Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetism in carbon-based materials can lead to a series of potential spintronic applications that may have an impact in different technological fields. From a fundamental point of view, the interest in these systems stems from the fact that they do not originate from metallic elements with d or f states but from carbon, which is a non-magnetic element, in structural configurations with certain shapes, such as fullerenes, graphene edges, graphene islands, or carbon clusters. In this Special Issue, we will cover the latest developments in the measurement and theoretical description of the magnetic behavior of graphite and carbon materials.

The toxicity of metal ions on ecosystems has led to increasing amounts of research on their removal from wastewater. This paper presents the efficient application of a carbon magnetic nanocomposite as an adsorbent for the elimination of metal ions (copper, lead and zinc) from aqueous solutions. A Box–Behnken factorial design combined with the response surface methodology was conducted to investigate the effect and interactions of three variables on the pollutant removal process. Highly significant (p < 0.001) polynomial models were developed for each metal ion: the correlation coefficient was 0.99 for Cu(II) and Pb(II), and 0.96 for Zn(II) ion removal. The experimental data were in agreement and close to the theoretical results, which supports the applicability of the method. Working at the natural pH of the solutions, with a quantity of carbon magnetic nanocomposite of 1 g/L and a metal ions’ concentration of 10 mg/L, for 240 min, removal efficiencies greater than 75% were obtained. The kinetic study indicated that a combination of kinetic models pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion were applied appropriately for copper, lead and zinc ion adsorption on carbon magnetic nanocomposite. The maximum adsorption capacities determined from the Langmuir isotherm model were 81.36, 83.54 and 57.11 mg/g for copper, lead and zinc ions. The average removal efficiency for five adsorption–desorption cycles was 82.21% for Cu(II), 84.50% for Pb(II) and 72.68% for Zn(II). The high adsorption capacities of metal ions, in a short time, as well as the easy separation of the nanocomposite from the solution, support the applicability of the magnetic carbon nanocomposite for wastewater treatment.

The creation of new compounds featuring high adsorption and catalytic performance with magnetic properties of the material is one of the important fields of magnetochemistry. The typical synthetic schemes of magnetic carbonaceous adsorbents are rather complicated due to the use of inert atmosphere and difficult wet methods of magnetite precipitation. The arising experimental issues prevent industrial production of magnetically activated carbons. In order to overcome these obstacles, we suggested a novel approach to porous carbons: magnetite composite synthesis based on iron (II) salt precipitation on porous carbon and subsequent thermolysis. We facilitated the process at the stage of the material washing. The synthetic route used is simple and can be applied industrially. The present paper is focused on the adsorption performance of a product prepared from commercial activated carbons BAU-A and AG-3. The porous structure was studied with low-temperature nitrogen adsorption that revealed surface area decreased by 26% in the case of BAU-A and 40% in the case of AG-3 with an increase in mesopore volume. Phenol and nitrobenzene adsorption from water solution was tested with magnetic carbon prepared from BAU-A. The adsorption isotherms obtained are described well using the Langmuir model. The limiting adsorption value in the case of magnetic porous carbon is lower than in the case of pristine carbon. The relative decrease in limiting adsorption value is close to the relative decrease in the specific surface area. The adsorption constant remains the same, showing that adsorption centers of phenol and nitrobenzene are the same for porous magnetic carbon and its activated carbon precursor. Thus, we showed in the present study that the magnetically activated carbons we developed almost retain the adsorption performance of their activated carbon precursors. Full article
