Hydrothermal preparation of highly porous carbon spheres from hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) stem hemicellulose for use in energy-related applications

Activated carbon from Diplotaxis Harra biomass: Optimization of preparation conditions and heavy metal removal

“…The activated carbon can be produced from various fossil carbon sources such as lignite, peat and oil residues, however the depletion of these resources encourages researchers to use renewable resources from biomass as precursors for activated carbons [14]. Moreover, a number of lignocellulosic biomasses including date palm tree [15], marine red alga Pterocladia capillacea [16], hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) [17], macadamia nut shells [18], almond shell and orange peel [19], mung bean husk [20], coconut frond [21], sawdust [22], de-oiled canola meal [23], Enteromorpha prolifra [24], and macroalgae waste [25] have been tested as precursors in the production of activated carbon.…”

Structure, Morphology, Thermostability and Irradiation-Mediated Degradation Fractions of Hemicellulose Treated with γ-Irradiation

“…Hemicellulose, the second most common polysaccharides next to cellulose in nature, has received more and more attentions due to its practical applications in the conversion to bio-fuels and bio-chemicals [7]. As located primarily in the secondary cell walls, hemicellulose together with cellulose and lignin builds up the plants with a combination of mechanical support and transport property.…”

Cyclic voltammetry as a tool for model testing of catalytic Pt- and Ag-doped carbon microspheres

“…CMS found their applications as electrode materials [10], catalyst supports [11], adsorbents [12], energy storage media [13], lubricants [14], in enzyme immobilization [15] etc.…”
