“…Drax opened in 1973 with coal as its fuel source, and it began combusting biomass in 2010 (Clayton, 2019). Drax plans to convert its boilers to combust biomass, and they have already converted four of six boilers to biomass combustion (Gorbounov et al, 2023). Drax imports 5 Mt of biomass per year in the form of pelletized wood from the Southeastern US (Clifton-Brown et al, 2023), which accounts for twothirds of the wood energy feedstock used by Drax (Abt et al, 2022).…”

“…Various methods, such as adsorption, membrane processes, cryogenic distillation, and adsorption, have been suggested for CO 2 separation [6,9]. Among these options, cryogenic distillation is the most established, but its extensive use is hindered by significant energy consumption and high costs [10,11].…”

“…Absorption methods, especially those utilizing amine-based solvents, offer high CO 2 absorption rates but are hindered by high costs, energy consumption, corrosion issues, and environmental concerns [11,12]. Additionally, liquid sorbents like polyamines and organic-inorganic hybrids necessitate thermal energy for desorption [13,14].…”

This study investigates the potential of activated carbon derived from ripe plantain peels (PPAC) for carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. PPAC was prepared through carbonization and activation using H3PO4, and its unique properties were extensively characterized which revealed irregular sponge-like protrusions and well-defined pores under Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Elemental analysis identified carbon, silicon, and oxygen as major components, corroborated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis indicating the presence of silicon oxide (SiO2), potassium oxide (K2O), and calcium oxide (CaO). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy highlighted diverse functional groups on PPAC's surface. CO2 adsorption tests were conducted at 27°C and 40°C with varying pressures on PPAC particles of 150µm and 845µm sizes. Results revealed that CO2 adsorption capacity increased with escalating pressures. Remarkably, at 27°C, PPAC exhibited superior performance than at 40°C, attributed to a higher-pressure drop enhancing the driving force for CO2 adsorption. Larger particles (845µm) demonstrated higher adsorption capacity due to increased surface area, enhanced pore accessibility, and faster mass transfer. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) conducted gave 2FI model as the most representative of the design data and showed high accuracy (R2=0.9973) and low error metrics (MSE=0.01697, RMSE=0.130269, MAE=0.109, MAPE=2.7244). The Adeq Precision value of 76.26 validated the model's reliability. Optimization using RSM yielded optimal CO2 adsorption values (9.69 mmol/g) at 27°C and 100 bars. PPAC emerges as a promising solution for CO2 capture, offering valuable prospects in mitigating emissions and addressing climate change challenges.

“…In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing and adopting technologies for obtaining Acs from lignocellulosic renewable biomass or agricultural waste, such as rice husks, coconut and walnut shells, barley straw, and others [3][4][5][6]. This interest is driven by several factors, including the increasing volume of industrial waste, the need for sustainable development, and the quest for alternative energy sources.…”

Characterization of Activated Carbon from Rice Husk for Enhanced Energy Storage Devices

The production of activated carbon (AC) from lignocellulosic biomass through chemical activation is gaining global attention due to its scalability, economic viability, and environmental advantages. Chemical activation offers several benefits, including energy efficiency, reduced carbonization time, and lower temperature requirements. In this study, potassium hydroxide (KOH) was employed for chemical activation, resulting in activated carbon with a high specific surface area of ~3050 m2/g. The structural analysis revealed the presence of graphitized carbon in the activated carbon matrix, accounting for over 15%. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique was employed to investigate the activated carbon derived from rice husk (RH). The potential applications of activated carbon obtained from rice husks through chemical activation were explored, including its use for heavy metal removal, elimination of organic pollutants, and as an active material in hybrid energy storage devices. Furthermore, a scaling methodology for the production of activated carbon was proposed, facilitating its industrial implementation.
