Article Synopsis
- The global release of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, has increased significantly since the industrial era, reaching 420 ppm, which contributes to global warming and climate change.
- Recent research focuses on reducing emissions from human activities, with activated carbon made from biomass like coconut shell, rice husk, and eucalyptus wood being identified as effective materials for capturing CO and NO from exhaust systems.
- Experimental results show that these biomass-derived adsorbents can achieve a CO capture efficiency of 40-64% and are characterized by low energy adsorption, indicating physisorption, which supports their potential use in environmental mitigation efforts.
