Carbon Microbelt Aerogel Prepared by Waste Paper: An Efficient and Recyclable Sorbent for Oils and Organic Solvents

“…However, not all paper and paper products can be recycled. During the recycling of waste paper, the pulping process deteriorates the strength of the virgin fiber, so that the property of recycled paper is not comparable to those made from virgin fibers . As a result, the production of high quality paper still mainly relies on virgin fibers, and the use of recycled water paper is limited .…”

“…Meanwhile, a further increase in the collection of waste paper is expected because of the high cost for disposal of industrial wastes and the increased concerning on the recycling of natural resources. Therefore, the development of applications for waste paper other than paper manufacturing has been demanded . Some of the possible applications include the bioconversion of waste paper to ethanol, enzymatic production of glucose, fabrication of biodegradable polyurethane foam and production of methane .…”

Recycled waste paper—A new source of raw material for electric double-layer capacitors

“…The authors are interested in adding value to these waste newspapers by preparing activated carbons, as they are great in quantity and low-cost. Shimada et al [13] have prepared activated carbon from waste newsprint paper by activation using 8% phenol resin and have studied its absorption capacities. Though activated carbon has been prepared from waste newsprint paper, for the first time, we have used this activated carbon as electrode material for supercapacitors and studied its physicochemical properties by means of various techniques.…”

Adsorption Properties of Bisphenol A on Activated Carbon Prepared from Wastepaper

“…Studies been carried out to investigate producing activated carbon from raw materials such as scrap wood, organic waste sludge, bean-curd refuse, bagasse, almond shell, and waste phenol resin in order to explore recycling options for organic waste materials [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. We have previously manufactured activated carbon using waste newspaper as a raw material, and examined its adsorbability and pore structure [10][11][12][13]. Activated carbon produced from waste newspaper had almost the same adsorbability as commercial activated carbon, and it Abstract : Activated carbon is proposed as a new use of wastepaper as an alternative to using it to make recycled paper.…”
