Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization and application of activated carbon produced by H3PO4 and water vapor activation

TL;DR: In this article, activated carbons have been prepared from woody biomass birch by using various activation procedures: treatment with phosphoric acid and pyrolysis at 600 degrees C in inert atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of water vapour on the pyrolysis of solid fuels

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of water vapour on the yield and composition of the products obtained by low temperature thermal destruction of solid fuels at atmospheric pressure, before and after complete extraction with ethanol-benzene, is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Composition of the extract from a Carboniferous bituminous coal: 1. Bulk and molecular constitution

TL;DR: In this article, a single-step coal extraction with dimethylacetamide (DMAA) at ambient temperature was described, and the bitumen was further fractionated further and some fractions were separated into normal and branched/cyclic components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of water vapour on the pyrolysis of solid fuels: 2. Effect of water vapour during the pyrolysis of solid fuels on the formation of the porous structure of semicoke

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the yield and composition of liquid products on the formation of the porous structure of semicoke is examined, and it is shown that more complete desorption of the low molecular weight components in a stream of water vapour up to 300 °C leads to a considerable increase in the total pore volume and the specific surface area of the solid residue as compared with that of the standard carbonization.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the composition of volatiles evolved during the production of carbon adsorbents from vegetable wastes

TL;DR: In this article, gas and liquid products evolved in the process of carbon adsorbent production by steam pyrolysis of apricot stones and coconut shells are investigated, and the oils are separated by an extrographic procedure and the obtained fractions are analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
