In the present paper, micro-mesoporous Fe-MIL-101/OAC composite using in situ incorporation of Fe-MIL-101 into oxidized activated carbon was synthesized and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDS, and BET techniques. The adsorption performances of toluene onto adsorbents in the gas phase were studied using a laboratory-scale dynamic adsorption system under moist ambience. The toluene adsorption capacity of Fe-MIL-101/OAC composite and Fe-MIL-101 were 127 and 97.6 mg g⁻¹, severally. Results revealed that the larger pores in micro-mesoporous Fe-MIL-101/OAC enhanced the molecular diffusion rate. The findings indicated that micro-mesoporous structures played key roles in the capture of toluene molecules. The initial toluene concentration positively affected on toluene adsorption capacity while temperature and humidity negatively affected on toluene adsorption capacity. The Langmuir model and the pseudo-second-order kinetics model described better adsorption process of Fe-MIL-101/OAC composite. Thermodynamic findings determined that toluene adsorption over Fe-MIL-101/OAC was spontaneous, exothermic physisorption. The regeneration of the composite was still up to 72.6% after six cycles. The micro-mesoporous Fe-MIL-101/OAC composite proposes a promising support for the high toluene removal for future. Graphical abstract
