Abstract
The main objective of this research was to produce the sulfonated biochar (SB) modified by CaO using the ball milling method and investigate the physical and chemical properties of the obtained material (SB/CaO). In this study, p-Toluene sulfonic acid (p-TSA) was utilized as the sulfonating agent. The sulfonation process was conducted on activated biochar (B) with various weight ratios of B to p-TSA (1:3; 3:1; and 1:1) to observe the acidity of the resulting SB. The SB/CaO was synthesized through the ball milling method with different proportions of CaO (30, 50, and 70 wt%), utilizing the formulation that yielded the highest acidity value of SB. The obtained material was characterized using NH3-TPD, CO2-TPD, XRF, FTIR, XPS, XRD, SEM-EDX, HRTEM and surface area analyzer. The results indicated that the highest acidity value of 4.08 mmol/g was achieved with the SB (1:3) ratio. The addition of CaO to SB resulted in an increase in basicity value and a decrease in acidity value. XRD analysis indicated a reduction in the crystallinity index % at the highest variations of CaO weight. Furthermore, the presence of CaO significantly influenced on the morphology of SB/CaO. The specific surface area of SB/CaO was observed to decrease with the increasing weight of CaO used. The study of the characteristics and properties of SB/CaO indicates its potential use in catalytic applications.
期刊介绍:
Vacuum is an international rapid publications journal with a focus on short communication. All papers are peer-reviewed, with the review process for short communication geared towards very fast turnaround times. The journal also published full research papers, thematic issues and selected papers from leading conferences.
A report in Vacuum should represent a major advance in an area that involves a controlled environment at pressures of one atmosphere or below.
The scope of the journal includes:
1. Vacuum; original developments in vacuum pumping and instrumentation, vacuum measurement, vacuum gas dynamics, gas-surface interactions, surface treatment for UHV applications and low outgassing, vacuum melting, sintering, and vacuum metrology. Technology and solutions for large-scale facilities (e.g., particle accelerators and fusion devices). New instrumentation ( e.g., detectors and electron microscopes).
2. Plasma science; advances in PVD, CVD, plasma-assisted CVD, ion sources, deposition processes and analysis.
3. Surface science; surface engineering, surface chemistry, surface analysis, crystal growth, ion-surface interactions and etching, nanometer-scale processing, surface modification.
4. Materials science; novel functional or structural materials. Metals, ceramics, and polymers. Experiments, simulations, and modelling for understanding structure-property relationships. Thin films and coatings. Nanostructures and ion implantation.
