Graphical abstract Highlights • The honeycomb carbon materials were prepared by using carbon hollow spheres. • The specific surface area of HCM is 1436.21 m2/g. • The maximum amount of Cr adsorbed by HCM is 332.53 mg/g. • HCM has good reusability performance. Abstract Hollow carbon spheres (HCSs) were prepared by a hydrothermal synthetic method using glucose as the raw material, and a honeycomb carbon material (HCM) was prepared by modifying these HCSs. The materials were characterized by SEM, TEM, BET, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, XRD, and elemental analysis. A large number of pores were observed in the HCM by SEM and TEM, and the specific surface area of the material, as determined by BET testing, was 1436.21 m2/g. The adsorption properties of the HCM were tested by a batch adsorption method. The maximum adsorption capacity of the HCM for Cr(VI) was 332.53 mg/g, and the performance was better than that of a similar materials. The kinetic thermodynamics and intraparticle diffusion models were fit, and it was found that the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto the honeycomb carbon was a spontaneous endothermic process. The regenerative adsorption experiments showed that the material had good regenerative abilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
