| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Activated carbonaceous were prepared from high-carbon, abandoned straw biomass. With hydrogen sulfide gas as the target pollutant, single factor experiments were employed to assess the effects of activator type, activation temperature, activation time, and liquid-material ratio on the adsorption performance of the prepared carbonaceous adsorbent. The materials were characterized using elemental analysis, SEM, FTIR, and BET. The results showed -OH, -CH-, and -C = O groups exist on the surface of the prepared adsorbent, specific surface area can reach 1104.84 m2?g?1, total pore volume can reach 0.261 cm3?g?1 and, where the pore volume is greater than 80%, well-developed pore structures were present that facilitated adsorption. The experimental results showed the adsorption time could reach 198 min with optimal ZnCl2 activator concentration (30%), carbonization temperature (550°C), and liquid-to-material ratio (3:1). Compared with the existing activated carbon adsorbents, the adsorption effects and preparation cost of this absorbent are advantageous, and the absorbent has prospects for broad market application. |
