In this study, silver microspheres (SMS) were introduced into cotton stalk porous-carbon (CSP) to prepare silver microsphere doping porous-carbon (SMS-CSP), and then SMS-CSP was used as the matrix of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to synthesize shape-stable phase change material of PEG/SMS-CSP. It was found that the introduction of SMS into CSP could not only greatly improve the loading capacity of the porous-carbon for PEG, but also could increase the thermal conductivity of PEG/SMS-CSP. Additionally, the method of introducing SMS into porous-carbon had the advantages of environmental protection and simple operation. Moreover, the raw material of cotton stalk is a kind of agricultural waste, which has the merits of wide source, low price and easy to obtain. Furthermore, in the preparation of cotton stalk porous-carbon, with the increase of pyrolysis temperature the thermal conductivity of PEG/SMS-CSP could be enhanced significantly. The mechanism about the enhancement of thermal conductivity was clarified, which could provide more basic theory for the study about the thermal conductivity of shape-stable phase change materials (ss-PCMs) based on porous-carbon.
This paper used wheat straw and palygorskite clay as raw materials, and phenolic resin as adhesive. By the technologies of powdering, mixing, solidifying, molding and sintering, the palygorskite clay Modified woodceramics were obtained. And it made use of these porous composite materials to research the adsorption of the phenol wastewater, which explored the adsorption effect of the composite materials on phenol and found out the optimum conditions of adsorption by changing the ratio of raw materials, sintering temperature, dosage of composite materials, oscillating time and pH.
The result of the palygorskite clay Modified woodceramics prepared by different dosing ration of raw materials and sintering temperatures on phenol showed that the removal effect of the composite materials (wheat straw: palygorskite clay=5:1, sintering temperature = 900 °C) on phenol was best.
Using the palygorskite clay modified woodceramics to adsorb the phenol wastewater. It turned out that when the dosage of the composite materials was 0.5 g, the Oscillating time was 60 mins, and the solution temperature was 25 °C, the composite materials adsorption efficiency on phenol was the highest. In addition, the higher the phenol solution concentration and pH, the lower the adsorption efficiency was. What's more, the absorbability of the composite materials on phenol corresponded with Feundlich adsorption model, and the saturated adsorption was 45.66 mg/L, which indicated that the palygorskite clay Modified woodceramics had strong adsorption effect to phenol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
