Catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastics to produce jet fuel and hydrogen using activated carbon MgO as catalysts was studied. The effects catalyst ratio experimental temperature, placement on the yields distributions products were played an important role catalytic LDPE, pyrolytic volatiles first flowing through then biomass-derived (BAC) could obtain excellent result H2 fuel-rich products. higher temperature converted diesel range alkanes into promoted aromatization generate aromatic...
Sulfonated activated carbon-based catalysts were prepared by microwaved-assisted carbonization of phosphoric acid corncob followed sulfonation using concentrated sulfuric acid. Sulfonation at different temperatures and times resulted in varied SO3H group density the SAC catalysts. temperature showed a significant effect on introduction AC precursor while time had minor role. The characterized means N2 sorption analysis (specific surface area, pore-volume, average pore width), FTIR...
Recent studies suggest the use of microwave energy in activated carbon (AC) production emphasizing efficiency specifically pyrolysis step as it can significantly reduce heating time compared to conventional furnaces. However, there is no documented effort on effect activating chemical agent dynamics and its impact despite importance for both technical economic aspects process. Elucidating rate H3PO4-activated biomass under one objectives research while ultimate goal find practical H3PO4...
Biochar catalysts derived from corn stover and Douglas fir were employed for the catalytic pyrolysis of model low-density polyethylene (LDPE) real waste plastics.
This study is motivated to increase the value of cocoa pod husk (CPH), which currently considered as waste in farming, by converting it activated carbon (AC). The main goal comparatively evaluate impact H3PO4 and KOH chemical-activating agents on resulting textural properties obtained from CPH. Furthermore, effects impregnation ratio precursor's particle size were also examined. In all cases considered, H3PO4-activated CPH a higher yield more desirable over KOH-activated Characterization...
