Synthesis of Carbon-Base Materials by Microwave Irradiation of Peat

Abstract

The production of carbon adsorbents by carbonization of peat under the effect of microwave irradiation within the environment of own gases was studied. The optimization of conditions and parameters for carbonization of peat was conducted. By means of FTIP-spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermographic analysis, nitrogen sorption-desorption and model indicators' occlusion it was found that in consequence of carbonization the content of loaded surface sites is reduced due to the destruction of functional organic compounds, dispersion is decreased, adsorption properties of carbon-base materials are increased.
