Abstract

In this work, porous carbon was prepared by the solid phase synthesis method, using phenolic resin as carbon precursor and F127 as the template. The performance of as-prepared porous carbon was investigated by adsorption of tetracycline. Results indicated that the dosage of porous carbon 0.2 g, the concentration of tetracycline 15 mg/L, and the adsorption rate could reach 78.05% under a temperature condition of 20 °C. The adsorption kinetic process well fitted the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption isotherm well obeyed the Langmuir and Freundich isotherm at a low temperature and it fitted Freundich isotherm at a high temperature more.
