Biomass-derived activated carbon with simultaneously enhanced CO 2 uptake for both pre and post combustion capture applications

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Activated carbons from biomass (grass and Camellia japonica ) exhibit enhanced CO 2 uptake at 25 °C; up to 1.5 mmol g −1 at 0.15 bar, 5.0 mmol g −1 at 1 bar and 21.1 mmol g −1 at 20 bar, and depending on level of activation, have excellent uptake at both low (≤1 bar) and high (20 bar) pressure.
