Production of fungicidal oil and activated carbon from pistachio shell

Preparation and optimization of activated nano-carbon production using physical activation by water steam from agricultural wastes

“…10 Production and characterization of high specic surface area activated carbon from coconut shells via microwave heating was studied by Yang et al 11 Okutucu et al produced fungicidal oil and activated carbon from pistachio shells. 12 Al-Qodah and Shawabkah studied preparation and characterization of granular activated carbon from sludge. 13 Sulfuric acid was used as chemical activation agent, and the effect of process parameters on the obtained activated carbon was investigated.…”

Use of ground pistachio shell as alternative filler in natural rubber/styrene-butadiene rubber-based rubber compounds

“…Unsplitted (closed shell) pistachio nuts are used as snack food . However, recycling in more valuable applications such as filler for appropriate polymeric matrixes or for activated carbon production should be preferred for a natural waste .…”

Preparation and characterization of pyrolytic chars from different biomass samples

“…The selection of the precursor essentially determines the physical and chemical properties that can be attained in the char or further product-activated carbon. Hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, mineral matter contents and as well as pyrolysis conditions are the important considerations to be made in selecting a source material and proper pyrolysis temperature for high-yielded-char quality [3,7]. Several recent studies with different biomass samples concerned the effect of various pyrolysis parameters in the product yields and concluded that nearly equal amounts of bio-oil, char and gas product is reached at about 500 and 550 • C [8][9][10][11][12].…”
