Journal ArticleDOI
Steam activation and mild air oxidation of vacuum pyrolysis biochar
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated steam activation and mild air oxidation of biochar produced by using the Pyrovac Inc. vacuum pyrolysis for a biomass feedstock composed of a 20% volume fraction of spruce and fir with pine (stem of Pinus strobus without bark), with a moisture mass fraction of 10%.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of biochar mild air oxidation on the optimization of lead(II) adsorption from wastewater.
TL;DR: The results of the present work suggest that the very simple process of mild air oxidation can be used instead of the usual costly chemical activation, in order to improve biochar cation exchange capacity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Film-Pore-[Concentration-Dependent] Surface Diffusion model for heavy metal ions adsorption: Single and multi-component systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a diffusional kinetic model with some new suppositions was developed: the Film-Pore]-Concentration-Dependent] Surface Diffusion model (FPCDSD); a comprehensive model which could be easily reduced to describe other simplified ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogenation of Furfural to Furfuryl Alcohol over Ru Particles Supported on Mildly Oxidized Biochar
TL;DR: In this paper, mild air/steam oxidation was used for converting a biochar with no surface area and low carboxyl groups surface density to an outstanding catalyst support using a very simple mild air and steam oxidation.
