Abstract: The influencing factors and mechanism of paraquat removal by coconut shell charcoal modified by nitric acid were studied by batch adsorption technology. The effects of pH, rotational speed, dosage, temperature and initial concentration of YK-6 were studied. From the kinetic data, 6 h was used as the equilibrium time to determine the adsorption isotherm test. The adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Brouers-Sotolongo (BS) adsorption isotherm models. When the pH was 2~9, the adsorption increased with the increase of pH, which was the result of the increase of the affinity between paraquat molecules and acidic functional groups on the surface of coconut shell carbon. Through Arrhenius formula fitting calculation, it was found that the process had an obvious chemical adsorption effect. BS isotherm model describes the adsorption process, the maximum adsorption energy of BS model measured at 37 ℃ was 88.47 mg/g. The Lagergren quasi-first-order, Lagergren quasi-second-order, Elovich and Avrami models were used to fit the kinetic results, and it was found that the Avrami model was the most suitable.
