Abstract

Activated carbon was prepared from walnut shell and blended with Co2O3 powder by one-step activation method. Better development of texture properties on activated carbon was observed by scanning electron microscopy. N2 adsorption-desorption confirmed that the surface area and micro pores volume increased 45 % and 34.2 % after cobalt addition, respectively, compared to blank samples. The results of Fourier-transform infrared spectra indicated that cobalt oxide improved the formation of basic functional groups (C=O) which would considerably affect the adsorption capability. The surface chemical properties of the activation samples were characterized by energy dispersive spectrum, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectra. Results showed that Co and CoO co-existed on activated carbon after activation. The desulfurization capacity of activated carbon-Co5 was 191.7 mg/g and 49.4 % higher than activated carbon.
