Innovative resource recovery: converting discarded disposable diapers (D3) into activated carbon using Box–Behnken design
This study aims to optimize the production of activated carbon from discarded disposable diapers (D3AC) using Box–Behnken design (BBD) under response surface methodology. Biochar (D3B) was initially produced via carbonization at 900 °C for 90 min under nitrogen flow, followed by physical activation with CO2. The BBD model demonstrated strong reliability (R2 = 0.9972), effectively predicting the influence of activation temperature, holding time, and CO₂ flowrate on surface area development. Under optimized conditions, D3AC exhibited a BET surface area of 1235.32 m2/g, significantly higher than that of D3B (479.79 m2/g), with a well-developed microporous structure. In contrast, D3B displayed higher total pore volume and ash content. These findings confirm the successful enhancement of porosity and surface characteristics through parameter optimization and support the feasibility of thermochemical conversion using statistical design.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology (IJEST) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of environmental science and technology, innovation, engineering and management.
A broad outline of the journal''s scope includes: peer reviewed original research articles, case and technical reports, reviews and analyses papers, short communications and notes to the editor, in interdisciplinary information on the practice and status of research in environmental science and technology, both natural and man made.
The main aspects of research areas include, but are not exclusive to; environmental chemistry and biology, environments pollution control and abatement technology, transport and fate of pollutants in the environment, concentrations and dispersion of wastes in air, water, and soil, point and non-point sources pollution, heavy metals and organic compounds in the environment, atmospheric pollutants and trace gases, solid and hazardous waste management; soil biodegradation and bioremediation of contaminated sites; environmental impact assessment, industrial ecology, ecological and human risk assessment; improved energy management and auditing efficiency and environmental standards and criteria.
