Surface modification of broom sorghum-based activated carbon via functionalization with triethylenetetramine

Elaheh Mehrvarz, Ali A. Ghoreyshi, Mohsen Jahanshahi

《化学科学与工程前沿（英文）》 2017年第11卷第2期页码 252-265 doi: 10.1007/s11705-017-1630-6

摘要： A new type of activated carbon (AC) was synthesized using broom sorghum stalk as a low cost carbon source through chemical activation with H PO and KOH. The AC obtained by KOH had the largest BET surface area of 1619 m ·g and the highest micropore volume of 0.671 cm ·g . CO adsorption was enhanced by functionalizing the AC with two different amines: triethylenetetramine (TETA) and urea. The structure of the prepared ACs was characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and acid-base Boehm titration analyses. The adsorption behavior of CO onto raw and amine-functionalized ACs was investigated in the temperature range of 288–308 K and pressures up to 25 bar. The amount of CO uptake at 298 K and 1 bar achieved by AC-TETA and AC-urea was 3.22 and 2.33 mmol·g which shows a 92% and 40% improvement compared to pristine AC (1.66 mmol·g ), respectively. Among different model isotherms used to describe the adsorption equilibria, Sips isotherm presented a perfect fit in all cases. Gas adsorption kinetic study revealed a fast kinetics of CO adsorption onto the ACs. The evaluation of the isosteric heat of adsorption demonstrated the exothermic nature of the CO adsorption onto unmodified and modified samples.

Recent developments in the application of oil palm fibers in cement composites

Emmanuel Owoichoechi MOMOH, Adelaja Israel OSOFERO

《结构与土木工程前沿（英文）》 2020年第14卷第1期页码 94-108 doi: 10.1007/s11709-019-0576-9

摘要： Fibers obtained from different parts of the oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis) have been under investigation for possible use in construction. Studies have been carried out investigating the engineering properties and possible applications of these fibers. However, the experimental methods employed and the values of mechanical and physical properties recorded by various authors are inconsistent. It has therefore become necessary to organize information which would be useful in the design of oil palm fiber cement composites and help researchers and engineers make informed decisions in further research and application. This review provides information about fibers from different parts of the oil palm, their properties, enhancement techniques, current and potential application in cement composites.
