Preparation and Performance Analysis of New Multi stage Porous Carbon Materials for Air Pollution Treatmentials on Atmospheric Pollution Sources under the Background of Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality

Abstract

The adsorption of toxic and harmful gases through porous materials is an effective means of air pollution control. A multi-level porous carbon material with ultra-high-specific surface area was made based on rice husk biomass to improve the air pollution controlling efficiency and reduce its cost. The rice husk substrate was pretreated using T.viride spore suspension during the preparation of this material. This changes the proportion of various components in the matrix, thereby achieving an increase in the multi-level porous carbon material’s specific surface area. Its performance was analyzed through various means in the study. The results confirmed that when the activation treatment time was 60 minutes, the porous carbon material’s specific surface area was the highest, reaching 3714 m2/g. After 30 days of treatment with T.viride spore suspension, the cellulose content in rice husks decreased by about 40 g/kg. Compared to untreated porous carbon materials, after 20 days of treatment, the micropores and mesopores of these materials significantly increased. The research has successfully increased the multi-level porous carbon material’s specific surface area and achieved rapid absorption of atmospheric volatile organic compounds. The multi-level porous carbon material can enhance the air pollution controlling efficiency and reduce its cost.
