HIGH ENTROPY ALLOWS A BETTER AFFINITY BETWEEN METAL IONS AND ACTIVATED CARBON FIBRES

Abstract

Recent numerical approaches to extracting metal species using carbonaceous materials have de facto stimulated an interest in the field of microextraction, but theoretical observations inspired by randomness changes have been elusive. In this contribution, we present the degree of randomness using Cu (II) and Pb (II). Here, activated carbon fibres were employed as the skeleton adsorbent, providing scientific insights via the aqueous phase. Coupled isotherms of Langmuir and Freundlich were represented to unravel the aforementioned thermodynamics. Findings revealed that the Langmuir isotherm best described the equilibrium state and the trend was in accordance with the energy computation. The maximum microextraction performance was 84.75 mg/g and 102.04 mg/g for Cu (II) and Pb (II), respectively. Under all circumstances, there was a high randomness change as the microextraction performance increased.
