Abstract
Research on the removal of sulfur-containing malodorous gases from air via biochar adsorption demonstrates significant application potential. In this study, silicon-modified graphitized carbon was synthesized through pyrolysis using peanut shells, rice husks, and walnut shells as precursors. Among the resulting materials, rice husk-derived biochar (DK-700–5) and walnut shell-derived biochar (HT-800–10) exhibited pronounced targeted adsorption toward CH₃SH and H₂S, respectively. The sulfur adsorption capacity of DK-700–5 was 8.3 times higher than that of unmodified rice husk biochar, while HT-800–10 achieved a 2.45-fold enhancement in H₂S adsorption compared to its unmodified counterpart. Carboxyl and oxygen vacancies on DK-700–5 were identified as critical for CH₃SH adsorption, facilitating its immobilization and gradual oxidation to sulfate (SO₄²⁻), with intermediate sulfur species such as R–SO–R, S⁰, and C–S detected. In parallel, HT-800–10 adsorbed and oxidized H₂S through its porous structure and surface superoxide radicals, converting it into elemental sulfur (S⁰) and sulfate (SO₄²⁻), thereby achieving efficient adsorption and oxidative transformation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis (JAAP) is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with innovative applications of pyrolysis processes, the characterization of products related to pyrolysis reactions, and investigations of reaction mechanism. To be considered by JAAP, a manuscript should present significant progress in these topics. The novelty must be satisfactorily argued in the cover letter. A manuscript with a cover letter to the editor not addressing the novelty is likely to be rejected without review.
