Abstract: | Raw moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) was examined to optimize the carbonization and the consecutive air activation procedure. Influence of sample size, nitrogen
flow rate, heating rate and final temperature on the carbon yield and the pore structure was investigated for the raw bamboo.
The short length cutting along bamboo trunk and the increase in heating rate to 40°C/min and nitrogen flow rate up to 500
ml/min was found to be advantageous for the carbonization of raw bamboo at 500°C, resulting in a surface area of 230 m2/g with a bamboo char yield of 25% on dry base. In the next step, effects of air treatment temperature, ash content and its
composition on the pore development were studied for the prepared bamboo char in comparison with coconut shell char. Additional
increase in surface area by 200 m2/g with 97% yield could be achieved conducting the 2-hour air treatment at 280°C for the bamboo char, whereas only a 100 m2/g rise in surface area was attained for the coconut shell char, partly due to the difference in K2CO3 content in the char. |
