Chicken Cartilage-Derived Carbon for Efficient Xylene Removal
Original language description
Chicken cartilage was used for the first time as a raw material for the microwave-assisted synthesis of biochar and activated carbon. Various microwave absorbers, i.e., commercial active carbon, scrap tyres, silicon carbide, and chicken bone-derived biochar, as well as various microwave powers, were tested for their effect on the rate of pyrolysis and the type of products formed. Biochars synthesised under 400 W in the presence of scrap tyres and chicken bone-derived biochar were activated with KOH and K2CO3 with detergent to produce activated carbon with a highly developed porous structure that would be able to effectively adsorb xylene vapours. All carbons were thoroughly characterised (infrared spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, Raman spectroscopy, proximate and ultimate analysis) and tested as xylene sorbents in dynamic systems. It was found that the activation causes an increase of up to 1042 m2.gMINUS SIGN 1 in the specific surface area, which ensures the sorption capacity of xylene about 300 mg.gMINUS SIGN 1. Studies of the composition of biogas emitted during pyrolysis revealed that particularly valuable gaseous products are formed when pyrolysis is carried out in the presence of silicon carbide as a microwave absorber.
