Article Synopsis
- Thousands of tons of biomass from agroindustries in the Amazon, such as acai, babassu, Brazil nut, and oil palm, are currently discarded but have potential to be converted into high-value activated carbon.
- This study examined the characteristics of these biomasses, including their lignin and carbon content, to evaluate their suitability for activated carbon production.
- The results showed that all four biomasses can produce effective activated carbon with significant adsorption capacities, particularly babassu, which outperformed the others in quality.
Surface modification may lead activated carbon (AC) to take on different properties. This study aimed to promote surface modification of activated carbons using corona treatment (electrical discharge). In this study, powdered commercial activated carbon was used.
