Water Vapor Adsorption on Biomass Based Carbons under Post-Combustion CO₂ Capture Conditions: Effect of Post-Treatment.

Water Vapor Adsorption on Biomass Based Carbons under Post-Combustion CO2 Capture Conditions: Effect of Post-Treatment

Adsorption of naphthalene from aqueous solution on activated carbons obtained from bean pods.

The preparation of activated carbons from bean pods waste by chemical (K(2)CO(3)) and physical (water vapor) activation was investigated. The carbon prepared by chemical activation presented a more developed porous structure (surface area 1580 m(2) g(-1) and pore volume 0.809 cm(3) g(-1)) than the one obtained by water vapor activation (258 m(2) g(-1) and 0.206 cm(3) g(-1)). These carbons were ...

Biomass Waste Carbon Materials as adsorbents for CO2 Capture under Post-Combustion Conditions

A series of porous carbon materials obtained from biomass waste have been synthesized, with different morphologies and structural properties, and evaluated as potential adsorbents for CO2 capture in post-combustion conditions. These carbon materials present CO2 adsorption capacities, at 25°C and 101.3 kPa, comparable to those obtained by other complex carbon or inorganic materials. Furthermore,...

CO2 adsorbent pellets produced from pine sawdust: effect of coal tar pitch addition

The main drawbacks of developing carbon adsorbents from pine sawdust, an abundant biomass feedstock, are the low carbon yield of the process and the poor mechanical properties of the resulting carbons. In an attempt to overcome these limitations, the effect of the addition of coal tar pitch was assessed. Adsorbent pellets were produced from pine sawdust and coal tar pitch by activation with CO2...

Adsorption of CO2 and H2O on supported amine sorbents

In this work we have evaluated the H2O and CO2 adsorption characteristics of Lewatit VP OC 1065 in view of the potential application of solid sorbents in post combustion CO2 capture. Here we present single component adsorption isotherms for H2O and CO2 as well as co-adsorption experiments. It was concluded that the sorbent material shows a high affinity in the adsorption of H2O. The adsorption ...
