摘要：Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene (GA) and carbon nanospheres (CNSs) were prepared respectively using grass (Festucaarundinace) as the sole carbon resource by solvothermal method and characterized as adsorbent and photocatalyst for 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) removal in water. With H2O2/HNO3/H2SO4, the CNTs were firstly produced from grass (Festucaarundinace) at 300 °C by hydrolysis and oxidization, the CNTs were secondly opened to form the GA by oxidization at 400 °C, and the GA was lastly rolled-up to form the CNSs by oxidization at 500 °C. All adsorption equilibration of the CNTs, GA, and CNSs for 2-CP were achieved within 120 min, and 60.35%, 20.12%, and 76.22% of 2-CP (5 mg L(-1), pH = 6.3) were adsorbed, respectively. Furthermore, the high removal rates of 2-CP were about 88.23%, 92.90%, and 79.64% by the CNTs, GA, and CNSs, after 120 min adsorption and 160 min irradiation. On the basis of these results, the CNSs were suitable for removal 2-CP as adsorbent, and the GA was suitable as photocatalyst. The photooxidation of 2-CP was mainly initiated by O2(·-) or ·OH which was generated from the combine with simulated sunlight and the CNTs or GA, respectively. However, the CNTs was not suitable for removal 2-CP owing to the increasing toxicity.
