Abstract

Various nut residues from agricultural production were investigated for their potential to be used as active carbons. Raw materials were pyrolyzed in a fixed bed unit and subsequently gasified by steam or carbon dioxide at different temperatures and duration of heat treatment. Biochars were characterized by physical and chemical analyses with respect to temperature and gasifying agents. Organic and mineral matter, elemental composition, structural characteristics, and surface functional groups were determined. Activation by steam presented a higher reactivity than carbon dioxide, reduced the yield of biochars, consumed more oxygen organic functional groups, favoured pore enlargement at high temperature, and increased the specific surface area (maximum 1257 m2/g) of pyrolyzed materials by 1.4 to 3.8 fold. Activation by carbon dioxide disrupted the hydrogen char structure, favoured microporosity, and increased the specific surface area (maximum 637 m2/g) of pyrolyzed materials by 1.8 to 3 fold. Gasified biochars at a high temperature were highly carbonized and exhibited aromatic structures, especially under steam activation.
用于生产污染物吸附剂的物理活化农业废弃物生物炭
研究了农业生产中各种坚果渣作为活性炭的潜力。原料在固定床单元中热解,随后在不同温度和热处理时间下由蒸汽或二氧化碳气化。通过温度和气化剂对生物炭进行了理化分析。测定了有机和矿物成分、元素组成、结构特征和表面官能团。水蒸气活化比二氧化碳活化具有更高的反应活性,降低了生物炭的产率,消耗了更多的氧有机官能团,有利于高温下孔隙的扩大,热解材料的比表面积(最大1257 m2/g)提高了1.4 ~ 3.8倍。二氧化碳活化破坏了氢炭结构,有利于微孔隙,使热解材料的比表面积(最大637 m2/g)提高了1.8 ~ 3倍。气化后的生物炭在高温下高度碳化,并表现出芳香结构,特别是在蒸汽活化下。
