Traits of activated carbon ready from flax shive by NH4NO3 and NH4Cl activation: Fullerenes, Nanotubes and Carbon Nanostructures: Vol 0, No 0

Summary

The thermogravimetric methodology was used to check one-stage pyrolysis of finely floor flax shive chemically activated by NH₄NO₃ (AN) and NH₄Cl (NAC). Activated carbons (AC) had been obtained and the chemical activation mechanism was decided. The morphology, floor space and pore dimension distribution of the AC samples had been studied by the strategies of scanning electron microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The utmost methylene blue adsorption capability of the obtained AC samples was decided. The optimum parameters of activated flax shive pyrolysis (temperature, time) required for acquiring AC with the utmost particular floor space and adsorption capability had been recognized.
