Preparation and Characterization Studies of Biomass-Based Adsorbents for CO2 Capture
Source abstract
Abstract
This research work focuses on the preparation and characterization of activated carbons derived from biomass residues as potential adsorbents for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture applications under ambient conditions. Three abundantly available and inexpensive raw materials, viz., (i) corn cob, (ii) sugarcane bagasse, and (iii) wheat straw, are used to prepare activated carbon using carbonization and activation methods. Characterization techniques such as (a) Nitrogen (N2) adsorption/desorption, (b) Scanning Electron Microscopy, (c) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectra, (d) Thermogravimetric Analysis, and (e) proximate and ultimate analyses are used to examine the surface texture and physiochemical parameters of the adsorbents, including surface area, pore volume, pore diameter, surface morphology, structural features, thermal stability, and quantitative and elemental compounds. The adsorption–desorption isotherms of CO2 uptake capabilities of adsorbents are evaluated at 1 bar pressure, with temperatures varying from 0 to 90 °C. The significant parameters of adsorbents’ adsorption, such as (i) CO2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, (ii) CO2/N2 adsorption, (iii) recyclability, (iv) breakthrough curve and (v) isosteric heat of adsorption (△Hads) are determined. The N2 adsorption/desorption investigation shows that the tested adsorbents are highly porous and crucial for post-combustion carbon capture. Values of △Hads for activated carbon samples are below 40 kJ/mol, which ensures the physical adsorption process. The findings suggest that adsorbents are most appropriate for multiple gas sorption applications. The anticipated characteristics will benefit for actual system development.
