“…The use of TPW, PPW and BPW as bio-adsorbent to eliminate contaminants has been the object of numerous studies. For BPW, most of the studies have focused of the cation adsorption of colorants [ 162 ], heavy metals which has indicated by the study of Motaghi and Ziarati [ 163 ] which has shown that BPW modified with 1 % citric acid has a large potential capacity to bio-adsorb toxic heavy metal ions (cadmium and lead) from rice, and by the study of Amin et al [ 20 ] which indicated an effective biochar absorption potential prepared using BPW for the removal of copper and lead, also have focused of the acid adsorption which has shown by the study of Pathak et al [ 164 ] which has demonstrated that the use of BPW is extremely effective for the removal of benzoic and salicylic acid from aqueous solutions, and by the study of Pathak and Mandavgane [ 165 ] which has shown that microwave-assisted charcoal synthesized from raw BPW has a good potential for removing citric acid from aqueous solution. Also, Alaa El-Din et al [ 166 ] have noted that the adsorbent capacity of BPW performs well as a new bio-adsorbent for oil spill disposal.…”

“…A comparison of the FTIR spectra of bamboo feedstock, traditional and conventionally activated AC and microwave-assisted activated AC [116] shows the effect of the H 3 PO 4-induced microwave activation of bamboo's spectral pattern and shows that thermal activation with a furnace and microwave have distinctive differences. Pathak and Mandavgane examined the FTIR frequencies and the resultant effects of activation with citric acid on banana peels, showing that there are major differences dependent on the method of activation and the activating agent [147].…”

A Review of Chemicals to Produce Activated Carbon from Agricultural Waste Biomass

The choice of activating agent for the thermochemical production of high-grade activated carbon (AC) from agricultural residues and wastes, such as feedstock, requires innovative methods. Overcoming energy losses, and using the best techniques to minimise secondary contamination and improve adsorptivity, are critical. Here, we review the importance and influence of activating agents on agricultural waste: how they react and compare conventional and microwave processes. In particular, adsorbent pore characteristics, surface chemistry interactions and production modes were compared with traditional methods. It was concluded that there are no best activating agents; rather, each agent reacts uniquely with a precursor, and the optimum choice depends on the target adsorbent. Natural chemicals can also be as effective as inorganic activating agents, and offer the advantages that they are usually safe, and readily available. The use of a microwave, as an innovative pyrolysis approach, can enhance the activation process within a duration of 1–4 h and temperature of 500–1200 °C, after which the yield and efficiency decline rapidly due to molecular breakdown. This study also examines the biomass milling process requirements; the influence of the dielectric properties, along with the effect of washing; and experimental setup challenges. The microwave setup system, biomass feed rate, product delivery, inert gas flow rate, reactor design and recovery lines are all important factors in the microwave activation process, and contribute to the overall efficiency of AC preparation. However, a major issue is a lack of large-scale industrial demonstration units for microwave technology.

Activated carbon (AC) is an extremely porous carbonaceous adsorptive substance which has a rigid carbon matrix with high surface area and broad functional groups. The structure is connected by chemical bonds; arranged irregularly, generating a highly porous arrangement of corners, crevices, claps, and cracks between the carbon layers. Activated carbons are produced high-temperature and chemical activation of waste biomass. The pores in the lattice network of activated carbon permit the removal of impurities from gaseous and liquid medium through adsorption. At present, the COVID-19 disease is the prime concern around the whole world because of its exponential infections and death rate. There is no medicine for this virus, and protection is the only remedy to survive from this contagious disease. Using a face mask is one of the best methods to get rid of COVID-19. The mask combined with activated carbon can be beneficial for adsorbing and disinfecting the virus as it is the versatile adsorbent for the elimination of the organic, inorganic, and pathogenic contaminants.
