The Boehm titration, originally developed to characterize carbon blacks and activated carbons, has earned growing attention as a method for characterization of acid and base properties of biochar (Boehm, 1994; Goertzen et al., 2010). The method is based on the principle that strong acids and bases will react with all bases and acids, respectively, whereas the conjugate bases of weak acids will ...

the paper introducedeffects of modified pyrolysis tar on flue gas desulfurization. this experiment selected the pyrolysis tar as the raw material, researched the effects on desulfurization performance under different modification solution, concentration, solid liquid ratio of pyrolysis tar and modified solution, calcination temperature and calcination time by 16 group orthogonal experiments. th...

A new and simple method, using water as a potential molecular probe, is proposed for the determination of the concentration of surface oxygen groups on carbon adsorbents. The procedure is based on a determination of the Henry constant between a water molecule and a functional group from the volume integration of the Boltzmann factor over the accessible space around the functional group. Three p...

This paper presents a systematic study of the surface chemistry, porous texture and adsorptive characteristics of prepared new activated carbon using Persian mesquite grain. Several techniques and methodologies such as, proximate analysis, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoe...

Activated carbons were characterized texturally and chemically before and after treatment, using surface area determination in the BET model, Boehm titration, TPR, DRX and immersion calorimetry. The adsorption capacity and the kinetics of sulphur compound removal were determined by gas chromatography. It was established that the propanethiol retention capacity is dependent on the number of oxyg...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are known as efficient drug carriers. To improve their interaction with other materials, surface modification of MWCNTs is necessary. In this work, were functionalized acid and polysaccharides (chitosan gelatin). The functionalization process was done via solutions nitric acid, sulfuric a mixture acid-sulfuric first, followed by chitosan gelatin. achieve t...

In this work, four activated carbons were synthetized from natural olive stone (NOS) wastes using ZnCl2 as an activating agent. These (OSAC) for a constant mass ratio of ZnCl2: NOS 2:1, contact time 2 h and different heating temperatures (300, 400, 450 500 °C). The physicochemical characterization these by various analyses including N2 adsorption–desorption measurements, surface charge evolutio...
