“…In addition, alternative sources ranging from bone, sugar and tyres to waste sludge or bio-solids produced at municipal or industrial wastewater treatment facilities can also be used as precursors for producing activated carbons (Teng et al, 1997, Khalili et al, 1999, Lartey et al, 1999, Martin et al, 2002and Zabaniotou et al, 2004. On average, it takes approximately 1 Mt of raw material to produce 0.4 Mt of activated carbon globally at the beginning of the 21st century and the continuing demand for activated carbons will require more raw organic materials for processing (Marsh, 2001).…”

In this study, waste macadamia nut shells were investigated for potential use as a hard organic precursor for the production of a granular activated carbon material. The processing of the macadamia shells commenced with the carbonised of the shells under a nitrogen atmosphere. This was followed by the physical activation of the shells under a carbon dioxide atmosphere, which was carried out at different temperatures to investigate the effect of the activation temperature on pore formation. The pore structure and gold loading capacity of the synthesised activated carbons were investigated. The porous nature and surface structure of the macadamia shell based activated carbon were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) at various stages of manufacture. In addition, gold loading studies were carried out in conjunction with elemental mapping of the activated carbon surface to determine the gold adsorption sites. The studies have revealed that the macadamia shell based carbons, activated at higher temperatures have a gold loading capacity that is comparable to the commercially available coconut based activated carbons.

“…These applications have driven many authors to investigate and propose conditions for producing active carbons from scraps tires, [8][9][10][11][12][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] as well as other organic materials. [25][26][27][28] Time, temperature and steps involved in the process are important factors that have to be taken into account when choosing the best way of recycling.…”

Bandas de rodagem de sucatas de pneus apresentam baixos teores de cargas inorgânicas e grande quantidade de negro de fumo em sua formulação. Neste trabalho, esse material foi tratado com hidróxido de potássio e cloreto de zinco e, em seguida, realizou-se a pirólise a 500 e 700 °C. Foi investigado o desempenho dos produtos na remoção dos corantes azul de metileno e alaranjado de metila em condições ambientais de pH e concentração. Carbonos obtidos com KOH e pirólise a 700 °C apresentam uma melhor capacidade de adsorção. A simulação deste processo permitiu a caracterização dos gases que contribuem para o desenvolvimento da superfície. Os produtos obtidos apresentam estrutura mesoporosa e estreita distribuição no tamanho de partícula. A presença de contaminantes oriundos desses carbonos foi investigada em meio aquoso. A ausência de zinco e enxofre e o excelente desempenho para remoção de corantes fazem esses materiais úteis no tratamento de água.Treads of scrap tires present low contents of inorganic fillers and a large amount of carbon black. In this work, this material was treated with potassium hydroxide and zinc chloride followed by pyrolysis at 500 and 700 °C. The ability to remove methylene blue and methyl orange were investigated under environmental conditions of pH and concentration. Carbons obtained with KOH at 700 °C present superior adsorption capacity. A simulation of this process permitted the characterization of the gases which contributed to surface development. The obtained products present a mesoporous structure and narrow particle size distribution. The presence of contaminants originated from these carbons was investigated in the aqueous media. The absence of zinc and sulfur releasing and the excellent ability to remove organic dye make these materials useful in the treatment of waste water.

“…The volatile vapour evolves during pyrolysis, passes through the oil separator, where heavy oil is separated by gravity and collected in a heavy oil tank (6). A damper (7) is provided at the outlet of the oil separator that connects a bench of water cooled condenser tubes (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Further, the volatile gases enter the bunch of water cooled condenser tubes, where the light oil fractions are converted into liquid.…”

“…The evolving volatiles in the pyrolysis reactor are condensed in a condenser to obtain the value added energy or chemicals. Generally, the temperature required for pyrolysis of tyres is in the range of 400-600 o C. The process offers three principal products namely; (a) pyrolysis oil, (b) pyrogas and (c) carbon black [7], [8]. In recent years, the recycling of waste tyres by pyrolysis process has been found to be more attractive and technically feasible.…”
