Activated Carbon Produced by Pyrolysis of Waste Wood and Straw for Potential Wastewater Adsorption. Materials, 13(9), 2047-. doi:10.3390/ma13092047 | Journal: | Materials | Abstract: | Pyrolysis of straw pellets and wood strips was performed in a fixed bed reactor. The chars, solid products of thermal degradation, were used as potential materials for activated carbon production. Chemical and physical activation processes were used to compare properties of the products. The chemical activation agent KOH was chosen and the physical activation was conducted with steam and carbon dioxide as oxidising gases. The effect of the activation process on the surface area, pore volume, structure and composition of the biochar was examined. The samples with the highest surface area (1349.6 and 1194.4 m2/g for straw and wood activated carbons, respectively) were obtained when the chemical activation with KOH solution was applied. The sample with the highest surface area was used as an adsorbent for model wastewater contamination removal. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/146288 | ISSN: | 1996-1944 | DOI: | 10.3390/ma13092047 | Research Centres: | Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) | Rights: | © 2020 The Authors.
