Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Carbonaceous material that is activated to form precursor activated carbon is further enhanced by doping with copper and nitrogen and calcining. The resultant sorbent material has excellent catalytic properties which are useful in the field of fluid purification.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method of removing chlorine, chloramine, or both chlorine and chloramine from a fluid, the method comprising: providing a sorbent material comprising an activated carbon doped with copper and nitrogen, and contacting the sorbent material with the fluid. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the fluid is liquid water. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the water or the sorbent material has previously undergone a disinfecting step. 4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the sorbent material is formed from a carbonaceous material that is activated to form a precursor activated carbon, and the sorbent material comprises about 2 wt. % to about 15 wt. % nitrogen as measured on a dry precursor activated carbon basis; about 0.25 wt. % to about 2 wt. % copper as measured on a dry precursor activated carbon basis; and wherein the sorbent material has a chloramine destruction number (CDN) of at least about 6. 5 . A sorbent material formed from a carbonaceous material that is activated to form a precursor activated carbon, the sorbent material comprising: about 2 wt. % to about 15 wt. % nitrogen as measured on a dry precursor activated carbon basis; about 0.25 wt. % to about 2 wt. % copper as measured on a dry precursor activated carbon basis; wherein the sorbent material has a chloramine destruction number (CDN) of at least about 6. 6 . The sorbent material of claim 5 , wherein the CDN is about 6 to about 60. 7 . The sorbent material of claim 5 , wherein the sorbent material is formed from a carbonaceous material that is formed from one or more of coal, wood, and coconut. 8 . The sorbent material of claim 7 , wherein at least part of the carbonaceous material is formed from coconut.
