Activated Carbon from Bagasse and its Application for Water Vapor Adsorption

Discovery of graphene and its bewildering properties have brought forth another class of materials known as "two dimensional materials" or 2D materials. Spurred by the achievement of graphene, alternative layered and non-layered two dimensional materials have become the focal point of extraordinary research because of their novel physical and chemical properties. Plumbene, a single layer of lead (Pb) is the latest two dimensional material, has pulled in huge enthusiasm inferable from its uncommon properties and possible applications. In this paper, we investigation about the most recent advancement in the investigation of Plumbene, for the most part on the structure, growth techniques, physical properties, future applications and difficulties. The phenomenal mechanical and thermal properties of Plumbene will open the best approach to batteries, machine manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc. Lastly, this review concludes with a future forthcoming to manage this quick advancing class of two dimensional materials in cutting edge materials science.

Synthetic plastics have several concerns for the environment, such as their impact on climate change, their long degradation time, or their degradation to microplastics that threaten animal life in the sea. The application of natural fibers as reinforcement in synthetic polymeric matrixes has several advantages in properties such as low density, lower cost of production, biodegradability, and a reduction of the environmental impact in the polymer industry. In this study, the Ecuadorian Guadua Angustifolia Kunth fiber was extracted and treated physically and chemically for its use as reinforcement in composite preparation. Maleic anhydride was used as a coupling agent to improve the interaction between the natural fiber and the low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymeric matrix. The composite production was done using different bamboo particle loading (1-5% w/w) at a constant particle size (150 µm). Chemical, physical, and mechanical properties were evaluated to characterize the fiber and biocomposites. The chemical treatment of the fiber with 2% of NaOH showed a reduction of the lignin content confirmed by Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy. A total of ~39% mass loss related to the lignin, waxes, and other organic content was reached. In addition, a reduction in the density from approximately 0.87 to 0.66 was shown when increasing the content of bamboo in the composite. In the same way, the crystallinity was reduced by 3%. The composite with 1% bamboo presents a tensile strength of 10,66 MPa. The use of bamboo fiber in the biocomposites reduces the global warming potential concerning the increasing amount of fiber.

“…Disperse dyes are widely used in the textile industry for dyeing mainly polyester, synthetic fabrics, acrylic and polyamide materials, etc. (14)(15)(16)(17) Degradation of these dyes is quite challenging because these dyes contain a nonionic end, which makes them hydrophobic in nature. (18)(19)(20) Due to the solubility problem, disperse dyes are poor candidates for mechanistic studies.…”

Bioinspired mesoporous activated carbon was synthesized using rice husks. SEM (scanning electron microscopy), XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), FTIR (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and BET(Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) were used to detrmine the textural qualities and physicochemical properties of the produced activated carbon .Monolayer and multilayer isotherm models were evaluated to examine the adsorption investigations on hydrophobic Scarlet RR. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm best explained the results because the monolayer's adsorption capacity was 996 mg/g at adsorbent dosage of 1.5 g/L. The results suggested that bio-inspired activated carbon would work well as an adsorbent for dye removal from polluted water.
