If I will use sulfuric acid to modify activated carbon, what will be the role of sulfuric acid in the activated carbon? (Will it add new functional groups? Will it enhance the surface area of activated carbon? etc.) Why does sulfuric acid-modified activated carbon adsorb more pollutants, specifically antibiotics, in water compared to unmodified activated carbon? Can someone draw a mechanism or the reaction for both questions? Thank you!
