Abstract
, which increased by almost 12% and 50% compared with pure Cu-BDC and oxidized AC, respectively. The presence of micropores enhances the dynamic adsorption capacity of toluene. The regeneration of the composite was still up to 78% after three consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. According to the obtained adsorbent parameters, microporous Cu-BDC@OAC was shown to be a promising adsorbent for the removal of volatile organic compounds.
