Preparation and Characterization of Physicochemical Properties of Spruce Cone Biochars Activated by CO2

Abstract: In this study the pyrolysis of Norway spruce cones, a lignocellulosic biomass was made. The biochar product was obtained by means of the physical activation method. CO2 was used as the activating gas. The surface properties of biochars were characterized by the nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), X-ray fluorescence energy dispersion spectroscopy (ED-XRF), thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), infrared spectroscopy (ATR FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy and the Boehm’s titration met… Show more

“…One of the main problems of wastewater treatment is dyes and heavy metals removal. [14,15] Dyes are synthetic or natural compounds characterized by complex, aromatic structures of the molecules. They are considered toxic, carcinogenic, non-biodegradable, and environmentally dangerous substances, therefore, their removal from wastewater and water is a very important undertaking.…”

“…[17,18] Properties of biocarbons depend on the type of initial material, type of activating factor and conditions of the pyrolysis process. [1,2,5,14,19] It should be noted that biomass, being a common and readily available waste material, is an excellent source of carbon that can be efficiently converted into biocarbon. However, it should be also remembered that the properties of biochars depend on the characteristics of the starting material, and, as biomass is waste, they vary.…”

“…[23,24] Adsorption has become a common method because it can remove both organic and inorganic contaminants. [24][25][26][27][28] However, for efficient and costeffective removal of contaminants using this technique, it is important to select appropriate adsorbents. Such materials can be biocarbons with developed porosity.…”
