Popis: | In this study, the producibility of activated carbon from wood waste by using the chemical activation method was investigated and the produced activated carbon was compared with commercial activated carbon. Activated carbon was produced from black poplar wood waste using zinc chloride and phosphoric acid. The density values of the produced activated carbons were determined by the picometer method. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) was used to analyze the microstructure and perform the elemental mapping. To determine the chemical content of activated carbon, it was also characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). Based on the density and FE-SEM results, it was determined that the produced activated carbon had a lower density and porous structure. In addition, EDS analysis showed that the activated carbon produced from black poplar wood waste was purer than commercial activated carbon. |
