Abstract
Rapid global urbanization and population growth have ignited an alarming surge in emerging contaminants in water bodies, posing health risks, even at trace concentrations. To address this challenge, novel water treatment and reuse technologies are required as current treatment systems are associated with high costs and energy requirements. These drawbacks provide additional incentives for the application of cost-effective and sustainable biomass-derived activated carbon, which possesses high surface area and low toxicity. Herein, we synthesized microporous activated carbon (MAC) and its magnetic derivative (m-MAC) from tannic acid to decaffeinate contaminated aqueous solutions. Detailed characterization using SEM, BET, and PXRD revealed a very high surface area (>1800 m2/g) and a highly porous, amorphous, heterogeneous sponge-like structure. Physicochemical and thermal analyses using XPS, TGA, and EDS confirmed thermal stability, unique surface moieties, and homogeneous elemental distribution. High absorption performance (>96 %) and adsorption capacity (287 and 394 mg/g) were recorded for m-MAC and MAC, respectively. Mechanistic studies showed that the sorption of caffeine is in tandem with multilayer and chemisorptive mechanisms, considering the models' correlation and error coefficients. π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding were among the interactions that could facilitate MAC-Caffeine and m-MAC-Caffeine bonding interactions. Regeneration and reusability experiments revealed adsorption efficiency ranging from 90.5-98.4 % for MAC and 88.6-93.7 % for m-MAC for five cycles. Our findings suggest that MAC and its magnetic derivative are effective for caffeine removal, and potentially other organic contaminants with the possibility of developing commercially viable and cost-effective water polishing tools.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Porous carbon electrode (PCE) is identified as a highly suitable electrode material for commercial application due to its production process, which is characterized by simplicity, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. PCE was synthesized using torch ginger (Etlingera elatior (Jack) R.M. Smith) leaves as the base material. The leaves were treated with different concentrations of ZnCl2 , resulting in a supercapacitor cell electrode with unique honeycomb-like three-dimensional (3D) morphological pore structure. This PCE comprises nanofibers from lignin content and volatile compounds from aromatic biomass waste. RESULTS From the characterization of physical properties, PCE-0.3 had an impressive amorphous porosity, wettability and 3D honeycomb-like structural morphology with a pore framework consisting of micropores and mesopores. According to the structural advantages of 3D hierarchical pores such as interconnected honeycombs, PCE-0.3 as supercapacitor electrode had a high specific capacitance of up to 285.89 F g-1 at 1 A. Furthermore, the supercapacitor exhibited high energy and power density of 21.54 Wh kg-1 and 161.13 W kg-1 , respectively, with a low internal resistance of 0.059 Ω. CONCLUSION The results indicated that 3D porous carbon materials such as interconnected honeycombs derived from the aromatic biomass of torch ginger leaves have significant potential for the development of sustainable energy storage devices. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Adsorption Properties of Nitrogen-Doped Nanoporous Biochar: Efficient Removal of Reactive Orange 16 Dye and Colorful Effluents.

[PMID: 37513056 PMCID: PMC10385902 DOI: 10.3390/nano13142045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 06/30/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023]
Abstract
In this work, nitrogen-doped porous biochars were synthesized from spruce bark waste using a facile single-step synthesis process, with H3PO4 as the chemical activator. The effect of nitrogen doping on the carbon material's physicochemical properties and adsorption ability to adsorb the Reactive Orange 16 dye and treat synthetic effluents containing dyes were evaluated. N doping did not cause an important impact on the specific surface area values, but it did cause an increase in the microporosity (from 19% to 54% of micropores). The effect of the pH showed that the RO-16 reached its highest removal level in acidic conditions. The kinetic and equilibrium data were best fitted by the Elovich and Redlich-Peterson models, respectively. The adsorption capacities of the non-doped and doped carbon materials were 100.6 and 173.9 mg g-1, respectively. Since the biochars are highly porous, pore filling was the main adsorption mechanism, but other mechanisms such as electrostatic, hydrogen bond, Lewis acid-base, and π-π between mechanisms were also involved in the removal of RO-16 using SB-N-Biochar. The adsorbent biochar materials were used to treat synthetic wastewater containing dyes and other compounds and removal efficiencies of up to 66% were obtained. The regeneration tests have demonstrated that the nitrogen-doped biochar could be recycled and reused easily, maintaining very good adsorption performance even after five cycles. This work has demonstrated that N-doped biochar is easy to prepare and can be employed as an efficient adsorbent for dye removal, helping to open up new solutions for developing sustainable and effective adsorption processes to tackle water contamination.

Abstract
Biochar (BC) prepared from Medulla Tetrapanacis was recognized as having potential in environmental remediation because of its porous texture, abundant chemical surface groups and mineral composition. In this study, a novel modified biochar (KBC) derived from Medulla Tetrapanacis achieved efficient adsorption of Congo red (CR) and methylene blue (MB). Characterization results suggested that the modification had little effect on the group distribution of KBC, but a dramatic expansion of specific surface area was observed on KBC (1180.45 m2/g) compared to BC (198.51 m2/g). KBC exhibited a maximum sorption of 584.17 mg/g for CR and 318.01 mg/g for MB. Kinetic and isotherm studies revealed sorption of CR and MB by KBC was chemosorption, which occurred on the monolayer surface. The comprehensive analysis also provided the basis for the application of KBC to practical production. These outcomes suggested that KBC may become a new option for the effluent treatment.

Abstract
Biomass-based activated carbon has great potential in the use of its versatile 3D porous structures as an excellent electrode material in presenting high conductivity, large porosity, and outstanding stability for electrochemical energy storage devices. In this study, the electrode material develops through a novel consolidated carbon disc binder-free design, which was derived from Moringa oleifera leaves (MOLs) for electrochemical double-layer capacitor applications. The carbon discs are prepared in a series of treatments of precarbonized, chemical impregnation of zinc chloride, integrated pyrolysis of N2 carbonization, and CO2 physical activation. The physical activation temperatures applied at 650, 750, and 850 °C optimize the precursor potential. By optimizing the 3D hierarchical pore properties of the MOL750, the carbon disc binder-free design demonstrates optimal symmetric supercapacitor performance with a high specific capacitance of 307 F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1 in an aqueous electrolyte solution of 1 M H2SO4. Furthermore, the extremely low internal resistance (0.006Ω) of the carbon disc initiated excellent electrical conductivity. The supercapacitors also maintain their high capacitive properties in aqueous electrolyte solutions of 6 M KOH and 1 M Na2SO4, respectively. The results show that a novel consolidated carbon disc binder-free design can be obtained from biomass MOLs through a reasonable approach to develop superior electrode materials to enhance high-performance electrochemical energy storage devices.

Abstract
A green synthesis method is proposed for the preparation of nitrogen-doped multiporous carbons (denoted as N-MPCs) from water-caltrop shell (WCS) using eggshell waste as both a nitrogen-dopant and an activating agent. It is shown that the surface area, porosity, yield and nitrogen content of the as-prepared N-MPCs can be easily controlled by adjusting the activation temperature. Moreover, in oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) tests performed in O2-saturated 0.1 M KOH(aq) electrolyte containing 1.0 M methanol, the N-MPC catalysts show a high ORR stability and good resistance to methanol corrosion. In addition, as a cathode material in Al–air battery tests, the N-MPCs achieve a power density of 16 mW g−1 in a saturated NaCl(aq) electrolyte. Overall, the results show that the N-MPCs have a promising potential as a green and sustainable material for ORR catalysis applications. A green synthetic method is proposed for the preparation of nitrogen-doped multiporous carbons (denoted as N-MPCs) from water-caltrop-shell (WCS) biochar by using eggshell waste as both a nitrogen-dopant and an activating agent.![]()
