This study investigated the possibility of new adsorbent materials made from pig bone-based biomass. To this end, the properties of pig bone-based activated carbon (PAC) prepared from animal biomass were investigated, and its carbon dioxide adsorption performance was examined. KOH was used as the activation agent, and the specific surface area increased with increasing activation temperature, and the adsorption efficiency of carbon dioxide also increased. The sample activated at 800 ℃ exhibited the largest specific surface area of 1208.7 m²/g and the highest CO₂ adsorption efficiency of 3.33 mmol/g at 273 K, 1 bar. However, the specific surface area and the CO₂ adsorption efficiency decreased at activation temperatures above 900 ℃ due to crystallinity changes and overactivation. On the other hand, when the selectivity was calculated using the ideal adsorption solution theory, PAC-900 samples at 273 K and below 0.8 bar showed the best selectivity. These results suggest that the high selectivity of carbon dioxide/nitrogen adsorption at 273 K is due to the carbon dioxide adsorption capacity of hydroxyapatite formed by the decomposition of carbonate when pig bone is activated at 900 ℃ and its crystallinity.

흑연(graphite), 석탄(coal), 숯(char), soot(검댕이) 등의 탄소로 이루어진 재료들은 비정질부터 완전한 흑연결정까지 다양한 구조를 나타낸다. 이러한 탄소재료의 구조의 출발물질 뿐 아니라 열처리에 따라 강한 영향을 받는다 이러한 구조는 여러 구조인자에 의해 특성화되는데, 구조인자로는 층간거리 d, 결정립 크기 Lc 그리고 결정립 직경 La이다. 이런 구조 인자의 지식은 흑연화, 탄소화, 가스화 등과 같은 다양한 공정을 이해하는데 매우 중요하다. 많은 연구자들은 XRD, Raman 분광, 고분해능 TEM 등과 같은 여러 기술을 통하여 이러한 구조인자에 대한 해석을 시도하였다. 그 중 XRD는 정량적 분석에 있어서 가장 많이 이용되는 기술이다. XRD 회절피크의 위치로부터 층간거리 d를 구할 수 있으며, 결정립 크기 Lc 및 결정립 직경 La는 피크의 line 퍼짐(반가폭)으로 직접 구할 수 있다. 한편 섬유상 흡착제로 이용되는 등방성 탄소섬유는 이산화탄소 또는 수증기에 의해 쉽게 활성화되어 최고 약 2,500 $m^2$/g의 고 비 표면적을 얻을 수 있다. 이렇게 활성화 후 고 비표면적을 나타내는 이유는 좁은 분포를 나타내는 미세기공의 기공구조 때문에 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다.

In this study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based porous carbon nanofibers were prepared from PAN polymer solution by electrospinning and KOH activation with various concentrations, and the characterization of pore structures and carbon dioxide adsorption was investigated. Manufactured PAN-based activated carbon nanofibers tend to decrease diameter and increase surface oxygen functional groups depending on the increasing concentration of KOH solution. In addition, according to the results of nitrogen adsorption for pore properties analysis, it indicated increase of the specific surface area in conformity with increasing concentration of KOH solution. Micropore volume of treated activated carbon nanofibers (ANCF) by 4 M KOH was the largest compared with other samples and mesopore volume of treated ANCF by 8 M KOH was the largest volume, respectively. The concentration of KOH effects textural and surface properties, as represented by BET and XPS, which enhance carbon dioxide adsorption capacity at 0 and $25^{\circ}C$.

Respiration of 'Fuyu' persimmon (Diospyros kaki) fruits were measured in terms of oxygen consumption rate and carbon dioxide evolution by closed system experiments at 0, 5, and $20^{\circ}C$. Enzyme kinetics-based respiration model was used to describe respiration rate as function of $O_2\;and\;CO_2$ gas concentrations $(R=V_m[O_2]/K_m+(1+[CO_2]/K_i)[O_2])$, and Arrhenius equation was applied to analyze temperature effect. $V_m\;and\;K_m$ increased, while $K_i$ decreased, with increasing temperature. $K_m\;of\;O_2$ consumption was greater than that of $CO_2$ evolution at equal temperature. Inhibitory effect of reduced $O_2$ level on $O_2$ consumption was more prominent than that on $CO_2$ evolution. Activation energy of respiration decreased with reduced $O_2$ and elevated $CO_2$ concentrations. Activation energy of $CO_2$ evolution was greater than that of $O_2$ consumption. Permeable package experiments verified respiration model parameters by showing good agreement between predicted and experimental gas concentrations in package.

Characteristics of Char-$CO_2$ gasification for petroleum coke, biomass and mixed fuels were compared in the temperature range of $1,100{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$ using TGA (Thermogravimetric analyzer). Kinetic constants with respect to reaction temperature were determined by using different gas-solid reaction models. Also activation energy (Ea) and pre-exponential factors ($K_0$) in each models were calculated by using Arrhenius equation and then were compared with experimental values to determine reaction rate equation for char-$CO_2$ gasification. Reaction time for $CO_2$ gasification decreased with an increase of reaction temperature. Also, the activation energy of $CO_2$ gasification reaction for mixture with petroleum coke and biomass decreased with increasing biomass contents. This indicates that mixing with biomass could bring synergy effects on $CO_2$ gasification reaction.

In this work, the amine-treated activated carbon nanotubes (A-MWNTs) were used to investigate the $CO_2$ adsorption behaviors. A-MWNTs were prepared by impregnation with amine in methanol after chemical activation methods using a KOH. The characteristics of amine-treated A-MWNTs were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), $N_2$ adsorption, desorption isotherms at 77 K. The specific surface area and pore volume of the A-MWNTs were analyzed by BET equation, BJH method, and t-plot method. $CO_2$ capture capacity as a function of temperature was measured by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). From the results, the amine treatment increased the basicity and nitrogen content of the A-MWNTs. The $CO_2$ adsorption capacity of the amine-nontreated A-MWNTs showed the highest value at room temperature and then greatly decreased with increasing the temperature. However, the amine-treated A-MWNTs presented a softer slope with temperature compared to the amine-nontreated ones. It was due to the strong interactions between $CO_2$ and amino groups presented on the carbon surfaces studied.

In this study, electrospun nanofibers made of PAN (polyacrylonitrile) were activated through a physical method to obtain an optimized pore structure. In particular, to enhance the surface alkalinity, the activated carbon fibers (ANFs) were impregnated with tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) with the aid of HNO₃. Then, the low level (3,000 ppm) CO₂ adsorption capacity for each ANF sample was evaluated. The specific surface area of ANFs increased from 308.4 ㎡/g to 839.4 ㎡/g and the total pore volume increased from 7.882 ㎤/g to 27.50 ㎤/g. Although the TEPA impregnation reduced the specific surface area and pore volume of the ANFs due to blocking of micropores, the HNO₃ pre-oxidation enhanced the amino groups tethered, increasing the amine content from 6.42% to 17.19%, and finally, increased the adsorption capacity of CO₂. This study showed that the sample 60-ANF-HNO₃-TEPA, which was activated for 60 minutes and was impregnated with HNO₃ and TEPA, had the best adsorption capacity for low level (0.3%) CO₂ (in a binary mixture with N₂).

In this study, bio-carbons were produced by activation process from unused biomass (Grade 3 wood pellet and spent coffee grounds) to determine the removal performance of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. The activation experiments were conducted in a fixed bed reactor using CO₂ as an activation agent. The temperature of the activation reactor and input of CO₂ were 900 ℃ and 1 L min^-1 for all the experiments. The maximum BET surface area of about 788 m² g^-1 was obtained for bio-carbon produced from Grade 1 wood pellet, whereas about 544 m² g^-1 was achieved with bio-carbon produced from spent coffee grounds. In all the experiments, the bio-carbons produced were mainly found to have micro-porous nature. A lower ash amount in raw material was favored for the high surface area of bio-carbons. In the removal test of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, the bio-carbon produced from spent coffee grounds showed excellent adsorption performance compared with woody biomass (Grade 1 wood pellet and Grade 3 wood pellet). In addition, the comparative experiment of commercial impregnated activated carbon and bio-carbon produced from spent coffee grounds was conducted. In terms of formaldehyde removal performance, the commercial impregnated bio-carbon was excellent, while bio-carbon produced from spent coffee grounds was excellent in acetaldehyde removal.

In this study, we have investigated the kinetics on the char-CO₂ catalytic gasification reaction. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) experiments were carried out for char-CO₂ catalytic gasification of an Indonesian Kideco sub-bituminous. Na₂CO₃ and K₂CO₃ were selected as catalysts which were physically mixed with coal. The char-CO₂ catalytic gasification reaction showed a rapid increase of carbon conversion rate at 850 ℃, 60 vol% CO₂, and 7 wt% Na₂CO₃. At the isothermal conditions ranging from 750 ℃ to 900 ℃, the carbon conversion rates increased as the temperature increased. Four kinetic models for gas-solid reaction including the shrinking core model (SCM), random pore model (RPM), volumetric reaction model (VRM), and modified volumetric reaction model (MVRM) were applied to the experimental data against the measured kinetic data. The gasification kinetics were suitably described by the MVRM for the Kideco sub-bituminous. The activation energies for each char mixed with Na₂CO₃ and K₂CO₃ were found 55-71 kJ/mol and 69-87 kJ/mol.
