Abstract

This study aims to produce activated carbon (AC) from different biomass sources using chemical activation; characterize the AC using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), proximate and ultimate analysis; and compare the results from the AC produced. The biomass blends of rice husk & groundnut shell (RH-GS), cocoa nut shell & saw dust (CS-SD) and sugar cane bagasse & banana peel (SB-BP) were used for the preparation of AC. The samples were first characterized using proximate and ultimate analysis, SEM, and FTIR spectroscopy. The results of the BG-SD sample characterization showed that the blend produced the best results in terms of absorptive capacity. It is suggested that surface area difficulties with the ACs be investigated in order to improve their porosity and adsorption capacities.

用于生产活性炭的各种生物质材料的物理性能评价

本研究旨在利用化学活化方法从不同生物质来源生产活性炭(AC);利用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、近似值和最终值分析对AC进行表征;并比较AC产生的结果。以稻壳花生壳(RH-GS)、可可坚果壳锯末(CS-SD)和甘蔗渣香蕉皮(SB-BP)为原料制备活性炭。对样品进行了近似和终极分析、SEM和FTIR光谱表征。BG-SD样品表征结果表明，该共混物的吸附性能最佳。为了提高活性炭的孔隙度和吸附能力，建议研究活性炭的表面积困难。
