Silicoaluminophosphate (SAPO)-Templated Activated Carbons.

ABSTRACT: Microporous activated carbon was prepared by depositing and pyrolyzing propylene within the microporous voids of SAPO-37 and subsequently removing the template by a treatment with HCl and NaOH. The carbon had a high surface area and large micropore and ultramicropore volumes. The yield, crystallinity, morphology, and adsorption properties compared well with those of a structurally related zeolite-Y-templated carbon. No HF was needed to remove the SAPO-37 template in contrast to the zeolite Y template, which could be of industrial importance.

Bio-templated fabrication of three-dimensional network activated carbons derived from mycelium pellets for supercapacitor applications.

Project description:In this work, a three-dimensional porous mycelium-derived activated carbon (3D-MAC) was fabricated via a facile bio-templating method using mycelium pellets as both the carbon source and the bio-template. After ZnCl2 activation and high-temperature carbonization, the specific thread-like chain structure of mycelium in the pellets can be maintained effectively. The hyphae and junctions of the cross-linking hyphae form nanowires and carbon nanoparticles that link with the neighboring nanoparticles to form a network structure. By adding NH4Cl, foreign nitrogen element doped (N-doped) 3D-MAC was obtained, which has a hierarchical porous structure composed of micropores and macropores. And the multiple pore size distribution benefits from ZnCl2 activation, the specific 3D structure and gas blowing. Meanwhile, the introduction of some hydrophilic groups and abundant N-containing functional groups in extrinsic N-doped 3D-MAC contributes to improving the Faradaic pseudocapacitance, respectively. A specific capacitance of 237.2?F?g-1 at 10?mV?s-1 was displayed, which is more than 1.5 times that of 3D-MAC. Even at the large scan rate of 500?mV?s-1, N-doped 3D-MAC still reveals a nearly symmetric rectangular shape, demonstrating great potential as a high-performance supercapacitor electrode material due to the synergistic effects of its 3D hierarchical porous structure and various functional groups.

Activated Carbons from Hydrochars Prepared in Milk.

Project description:Hydrothermal carbonization converts organics in aqueous suspension to a mixture of liquid components and carbon-rich solids (hydrochars), which in turn can be processed into activated carbons. We investigated whether milk could be used as a medium for hydrothermal carbonization, and found that hydrochars prepared from milk, with or without an added fibrous biomass, contained more carbon (particularly aliphatic carbon), less oxygen, and more mineral components than those prepared from fibrous biomass in water. Activated carbons produced from hydrochars generated in milk had lower specific surface areas and CO2 capacities than those from hydrochars formed in water; however, these differences disappeared upon normalizing to the combustible mass of the solid. Thus, in the context of N2 and CO2 uptake on activated carbons, the primary effect of using milk rather than water to form the hydrochar precursor was to contribute inorganic mass that adsorbed little CO2. Nevertheless, some of the activated carbons generated from hydrochars formed in milk had specific CO2 uptake capacities in the normal range for activated carbons prepared by activation in CO2 (here, up to 1.6 mmol g-1 CO2 at 15 kPa and 0 °C). Thus, hydrothermal carbonization could be used to convert waste milk to hydrochars and activated carbons.

Fast Microwave Synthesis of Hierarchical Porous Carbons from Waste Palm Boosted by Activated Carbons for Supercapacitors.

Project description:The synthesis of biomass-derived porous carbons (PCs) for supercapacitors by conventional two-steps method (chemical activation after carbonization) is complicated and time-consuming. In this study, we present a one-step microwave activation strategy to prepare hierarchically PCs from waste palm boosted by activated carbons (ACs). ACs with various specific surface areas (14, 642, and 1344 m²·g-1) were used for the first time to fast absorb microwave energy for converting waste palm into hierarchically PCs, that is, PC1, PC2, and PC3, respectively. The morphological and structural characterizations of PCs were studied. Also, the electrochemical performances of supercapacitors based on PCs as electrodes were further investigated. The results showed that the PC (PC1) boosted by AC with the lowest specific surface area possessed a porous structure (containing micro-, meso-, and macro- pores) with the largest specific surface area (1573 m²·g-1) and the highest micropore volume (0.573 cm³·g-1), as well as the suitable mesoporosity (29.69%). The as-prepared PC1 supercapacitor even in a gel electrolyte (PVA/LiCl) exhibited a high specific capacitance of 226.0 F·g-1 at 0.5 A·g-1 and presented excellent charge-discharge performance with an energy density of 72.3 Wh·kg-1 at a power density of 1.4 kW·kg-1 and 50.0 Wh·kg-1 at 28.8 kW·kg-1. Moreover, this promising method exhibited a simple, rapid, and cost-effective preparation of carbon materials from renewable biomass for energy storage applications.

Capacitive behavior of activated carbons obtained from coffee husk.

Project description:Sustainable agroindustry has presented many challenges related to waste management. Most of its residues are lignocellulosic biomass materials with great application potential due to their chemical composition, hence the use of biomass-derived carbon materials in energy storage has received growing interest in recent years. In this work, highly micro-porous carbonaceous materials using the endocarp of the coffee fruit or coffee husk (CH) as precursor are obtained. Specifically, three different activating agents (KOH, K2CO3, and steam) to derive activated carbons (ACs) with good capacitive properties are tested. The properties of ACs such as surface chemistry, texture, crystal graphite size, and order in the carbonaceous structure are assessed and compared. The capacitive behavior inherent to the activation routes is also characterized by means of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic Charge/Discharge (GCD) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The obtained specific capacitance values range from 106 to 138 F g-1 for a discharge current of 0.5 A g-1. These results nominate coffee husk as a good precursor of carbonaceous materials suitable for energy storage.

Thermodynamic data of phenol adsorption on chemically modified activated carbons.

Project description:The presence of phenol in water bodies exists due to the discharge of wastewater from industrial, agricultural and domestic activities. Its presence in water is associated with a decrease in the quality of drinking water because its change the taste and odour [1]. The adsorption process is one of the most used treatments to remove the phenol of waters and the activated carbon is an appropriate adsorbent due to its high surface area, porosity and low cost. The studies about the adsorption process are addressed by different views of point such as equilibrium and thermodynamic data. In this work, the adsorption isotherms of phenol on five activated carbons with different physicochemical properties in aqueous solution are presented. In addition, the immersion enthalpies, the interaction enthalpies, the Gibbs energy and the entropy changes are included. The isotherms data are adjusted to the Freundlich and Sips models. The immersion enthalpy values are between -7.670 and -57.0 J g-1, the interaction enthalpies are between 48.00 and -11.70 J g-1, the Gibbs energy change are between -5337 and -12322 J mol-1 K-1 and finally, the entropy change values are between 18.10 and 39.70 J K-1.

Effect of rate of pyrolysis on the textural properties of naturally-templated porous carbons from alginic acid.

Project description:The effect of pyrolysis rate on the properties of alginic acid-derived carbonaceous materials, termed Starbon®, was investigated. Thermal Gravimetry-IR was used to prepare porous carbons up to 800 °C at several rates and highlighted increased CO2 production at higher pyrolysis rates. N2 porosimetry of the resultant carbons shows how pyrolysis rate affects both the mesopore structure and thus surface area and surface energy. Surface capacity of these carbons was analysed by methylene blue dye adsorption. In general, as the rate of pyrolysis increased, the mesopore content and adsorbent capacity decreased. It is considered here that the rapid production of volatiles at these higher rates causes structural collapse of the non-templated pore network. The work here demonstrates that pyrolysis rate is a key variable which needs to be controlled to maximise the textural properties of Starbon® required for adsorption applications.

Characterization of Chemically Activated Carbons Prepared from Miscanthus and Switchgrass Biomass.

Project description:Lignocellulosic biomass, including that of energy crops, can be an alternative source to produce activated carbons (ACs). Miscanthus and switchgrass straw were used to produce ACs in a two-step process. Crushed plant material was carbonized at 600 °C and then obtained carbon was activated using NaOH or KOH at 750 °C. The content of surface oxygen groups was determined using Boehm's method. The porosity of ACs was assayed using the nitrogen adsorption/desorption technique, while their thermal resistance using the thermogravimetric method. The ACs derived from miscanthus and switchgrass were characterized by surfaces rich in chemical groups and a highly developed porous structure. The highest specific surface areas, over 1600 m2/g, were obtained after carbon treatment with NaOH. High values of iodine number, 1200-1240 mg/g, indicate an extensive system of micropores and their good adsorption properties. The type of activator affected the contents of oxygen functional groups and some porosity parameters as well as thermal stability ranges of the ACs. Among obtained carbons, the highest quality was found for these derived from M. sacchariflorus followed by switchgrass, after activation with NaOH. Hence, while these crop species are not as effective biomass sources as other energy grasses, they can become valuable feedstocks for ACs.

High-Molecular-Weight PLA-b-PEO-b-PLA Triblock Copolymer Templated Large Mesoporous Carbons for Supercapacitors and CO2 Capture.

Project description:High-molecular-weight PLA440-b-PEO454-b-PLA440 (LEL) triblock copolymer was synthesized through simple ring-opening polymerization (ROP) by using the commercial homopolymer HO-PEO454-OH as the macro-initiator. The material acted as a single template to prepare the large mesoporous carbons by using resol-type phenolic resin as a carbon source. Self-assembled structures of phenolic/LEL blends mediated by hydrogen bonding interaction were determined by FTIR and SAXS analyses. Through thermal curing and carbonization procedures, large mesoporous carbons (>50 nm) with a cylindrical structure and high surface area (>600 m2/g) were obtained because the OH units of phenolics prefer to interact with PEO block rather than PLA block, as determined by FTIR spectroscopy. Furthermore, higher CO2 capture and good energy storage performance were observed for this large mesoporous carbon, confirming that the proposed approach provides an easy method for the preparation of large mesoporous materials.

Reactivation Process of Activated Carbons: Effect on the Mechanical and Adsorptive Properties.

Project description:Carbon reactivation is a strategy to reduce waste and cost in many industrial processes, for example, effluent treatment, food industry, and hydrometallurgy. In this work, the effect of physical and chemical reactivation of granular activated carbon (AC) was studied. Spent activated carbon (SAC) was obtained from a carbon in pulp (CIP) leaching process for gold extraction. Chemical and physical reactivations were evaluated using several acid-wash procedures (HCl, HNO3, H2SO4) and thermal treatment (650-950 °C) methods, respectively. The effect of the reactivation processes on the mechanical properties was evaluated determining ball pan hardness and normal abrasion in pulp resistance. The effect on the adsorptive properties was evaluated via the iodine number, the gold adsorption value (k expressed in mg Au/g AC), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. Initial characterization of the SAC showed an iodine number of 734 mg I2/g AC, a k value of 1.37 mg Au/g AC, and a BET surface area of 869 m2/g. The best reactivation results of the SAC were achieved via acid washing with HNO3 at 20% v/v and 50 °C over 30 min, and a subsequent thermal reactivation at 850 °C over 1 h. The final reactivated carbon had an iodine number of 1199 mg I2/g AC, a k value of 14.9 mg Au/g AC, and a BET surface area of 1079 m²/g. Acid wash prior to thermal treatment was critical to reactivate the SAC. The reactivation process had a minor impact (<1% change) on the mechanical properties of the AC.

Rice Husk-Derived Activated Carbons for Adsorption of Phenolic Compounds in Water.

Project description:Activated carbons are synthesized from rice husk by one- and two-step pyrolysis. In general, two-step pyrolysis produces a higher yield of activated carbons. The yield of activated carbon decreases with the increase of mass ratio of KOH and biomass, which has a significant impact on the development of surface area and porosity. The maximum S BET (2138 m2 g-1) is achieved with micro- and mesoporous structures, which is favored for the adsorption process. The activated carbons can efficiently remove phenol from water by a few minutes. In particular, the maximum adsorption capacity (201 mg g-1) is achieved due to the excellent surface textural properties. The Langmuir model can better define the adsorption isotherm. The high correlation coefficient value (R 2 = 0.9991) indicates a monolayer adsorption behavior. The adsorption process can be well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order model. Herein, the phenol molecules pass into the internal surface via liquid-film-controlled diffusion, so the behavior of phenol adsorption onto activated carbons is mainly controlled via chemisorption. In addition, the functional groups on the outer surfaces of activated carbons can attract the phenol molecules onto their internal surface via the "?-? dispersion interaction" and "donor-acceptor effect."
