The sugarcane ethanol industry is currently generating an intensive amount of biowaste while consuming significant water resources. In this work, bagasse fly ash (SCBFA), a major with high amounts fixed carbon, employed as precursor for activated carbon (SCBFA-AC) production. Here, SCBFA-ACs are valorized the main component electrodes in capacitive deionization (CDI), emerging desalination technology. way, abundant and low-cost could be used green alternative to treat water. Different...
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising technique for brackish water desalination and softening. It has been recognized that its performance strongly dependent of the electrode properties such as specific surface area, pore volume, size distribution, functional groups. Carbon main material fits all these requirements, allied to lo high capacitance, conductivity, low cost. Here, we present comparison different activated carbons (AC) prepared in Laboratory Environmental Technologies using...
Activated carbon obtained from chloride-doped polyaniline (PAC/Cl) is an attractive material for brackish water desalination using capacitive deionization (CDI), due to its easy synthesis, low cost, and fast electrosorption kinetics. However, content of surface oxygen groups (SOGs) suppresses the salt adsorption capacity (SAC), despite high specific area. In this work, different strategies improve SAC boost kinetics PAC/Cl electrodes were investigated by modifying synthesis procedure....
