Sumario:The adsorption-desorption combined process has been considered as a promising method for the industrial VOCs (volatile organic compounds) treatment. Herein, a carbon-silicon composite adsorbent material has been prepared for the removal of VOCs at lower potential flammable risk. The preparation involves two main steps: Extrusion forming and thermal treatment. The carboxymethyl cellulose and silicate were adopted as binder and fire retardant respectively. The molding and inflaming retarding mechanisms were proposed and discussed. Results show that the newly prepared doping combined material is micro-mesoporous with a specific surface area of 729 m(2)/g. The maximum adsorption capacity of carbon-silicon doping combined material to p-xylene is observed to be 292 mg/g. The adsorption is found to be favorable, which is well described by the Yoon-Nelson model and Freundlich isotherm. The combined material is also found to possess reversible adsorption to p-xylene; without sacrificing (<2%) too much adsorption capacity after five adsorption-desorption cycles. The composite materials have an increased ignition temperature of at least 40 °C compared with raw carbon material. These findings suggest that the obtained composite material possesses good adsorption capacity and flame-retardant properties.
