Preparation of activated biochar with adjustable pore structure by hydrothermal carbonization for efficient adsorption of VOCs and its practical application prospects

Defect-rich N doped porous carbon derived from Camellia shells for chlorobenzene adsorption

“…8 In addition, the specific surface area, pore structure and surface chemical properties are crucial factors affecting the adsorption capacity of porous carbon. [9][10][11] In general, porous carbon with a high specific surface area and microporous volume exhibits great VOC adsorption performance. For instance, Pan et al confirmed through linear correlation analysis that the porosity (specific surface area and micropore volume) of porous carbon was crucial for the VOC adsorption performance.…”

Optimizing Filters of Activated Carbons Obtained from Biomass Residues for Ethylene Removal in Agro-Food Industry Devices

“…The breakage of the weaker chemical bonds generates small molecules removed as gases (CO x , SO x , NO x , CH x, H 2 ), pyrolysis liquids (sometimes used as precursors of biofuels) and a solid residue enriched in carbon (char), but still having a scarce porosity. The use of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) processes allows to low the carbonization temperature by contacting raw feedstock with pressurized water, saving energy and increasing the char yield, although high pressure reactors are needed (Yao et al, 2023). After carbonization, physical or chemical activation processes develop the porosity of the char.…”
