Abstract
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) bast was used to prepare activated carbon fibers by phosphoric acid activation at 400–600°C. The pyrolysis process, textural and chemical properties for the samples were investigated by means of TG/DTA, SEM, cryogenic N2 adsorption, FTIR and XPS. Dye adsorption on the resultant sample was also measured. The textural properties of the activated carbon fibers were found to be strongly dependent on the activation temperature. Activated carbon fibers exhibited narrow pore size distributions with maxima in the micropore and small mesopore regions. BET surface area, total pore volume, micropore volume and mesopore volume increased with the increase of activation temperature up to 450 °C and then decreased with further heating, and a sample with maximum surface area of 1142 m2 g−1 and total pore volume of 0.67 cm3 g−1 was obtained. Phosphoric acid facilitated the conservation of porous structure, led to the creation of tremendous porosity, and resulted in various P-containing functional structures on the surface and in the bulk phase of the resultant samples. The adsorption of acid blue 9 on the sample could be favorably described by Langmuir isotherm, and the adsorption kinetics was found to be well fitted by the intraparticle diffusion model.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
