“…The PET has more carbon in the molecular chain (above 60%), and its pyrolysis yields a higher amount of carbon as a residue 34 . It is reported that the activated carbon from waste PET finds application as an adsorbent in natural gas storage, 35 CO 2 capture, 36,37 and so forth. The carbon procured after pyrolysis has various characteristics, such as a large surface area, less functional groups and low concentration of impurities than the carbon collected from biomass pyrolysis.…”

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste was converted into carbon and the feasibility of utilizing it as a reinforcing filler material in a polypropylene (PP) matrix was investigated. The carbon produced by the pyrolysis of waste PET at 900°C in nitrogen atmosphere contains high carbon content (>70 wt%). PP/carbon composites were produced by melt blending process at varying loading concentrations. Scanning electron microscopy images at the fractured surface revealed that the carbon filler has better compatibility with the PP matrix. The mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties and surface morphology of the prepared composites were studied. The thermogravimetric analysis studies showed that the thermal stability of the PP/carbon composites was enhanced from 300 to 370°C with 20 wt% of carbon. At lower angular frequency (0.01 rad/s), the storage modulus (G′) of PP was 0.27 Pa and those of PP with 10 and 20 wt% carbon was 4.06 and 7.25 Pa, respectively. Among the PP/carbon composite prepared, PP with 5 wt% carbon showed the highest tensile strength of 38 MPa, greater than that of neat PP (35 MPa). The tensile modulus was enhanced from 0.9 to 1.2 GPa when the carbon content was increased from 0 to 20 wt%.

“…Cigarette smoke is a real threat to human life, from children to adults, as more than seven million people die each year due to exposure. The number consists of six million people who are active smokers and 890,000 people who are passive smokers (Yuliusman et al, 2017). Cigarette smoke consists of at least 250 harmful and deadly substances with 69 cancer-causing substances such as acetaldehyde, aromatic amine, arsenic, benzene, beryllium (toxic metal), 1,2-butadiene (dangerous gas), cadmium (toxic metal), polonium-210 (radioactive chemical elements), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), vinyl chloride, and more.…”

“…One potential biomass waste that can be processed into activated carbon is durian shell because it has a cellulose element of around 5060%, 5% lignin, and 5% starch (Yuliusman et al, 2018). Durian shell has a percentage of 6075% of durian fruit (Yuliusman et al, 2017). The amount makes the potential of durian shell waste reach 597,444 thousand to 746,805 thousand tons based on 2015 durian fruit productions of 995.74 thousand tons (Tham et al, 2010).…”

Activated carbon is one solution to overcome the problem of cigarette smoke which is very dangerous for health where durian shell waste is chosen as the base material. Durian shell waste was chosen because it contains high cellulose, lignin, and starch. Its production also reaches 746,805 thousand tons per year. Durian shell waste that had been activated by chemical activation with K2CO3 versus activated carbon is 1:1, 3:2, and 2:1, and by physical activation with N2 was then modified with MgO with variations in concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, and 2% at 450 o C for 30 minutes. Activated carbon and modified activated carbon were then characterized by the Iod Number test, BET test, SEM test, and EDX test. The best non-modified activated carbon was the carbon which was chemical and physically activated at ratio 3:2 with results of 41.56% in yield, 399.44 mg/g in iodine numbers, and 694.13 m 2 /g in surface area. While the best modified activated carbon was at MgO concentration of 2% with a yield of 97%, an iodine number of 625.70 mg/g, and a surface area of 1,029.90 m 2 /g. The CO gas adsorption application, which is the component with the largest contribution in cigarette smoke, and cigarette smoke itself were tested using modified activated carbon. The results showed that 2% modified activated carbon was the best type of activated carbon to degrade CO in 3.89%/gram per minute with an adsorption ability of 0.215%. This activated carbon was also able to purify the air from the cigarette in 8.04%/gr activated carbon per minute with an adsorption ability of 0.87%.

Bleaching of Neutral Cotton Seed Oil Using Organic Activated Carbon in a Batch System: Kinetics and Adsorption Isotherms

Abstract:In the processing of cotton and neem seeds to obtain oil for diverse uses, enormous quantities of seed husk are generated as waste, which when not properly disposed of, poses environmental problems. One way of reducing this waste is to use it for the production of activated carbon (AC) for its multiple applications. In this work, activated carbon was produced from cotton and neem seed husks by carbonization followed by acid activation. The prepared ACs were characterized for its porosity and surface properties as well as for its ability to bleach neutral cotton seed oil. The prepared ACs are very efficient in the decoloration process, as they removed about 96-98% of the pigments compared to 98.4% removal with commercial bleaching earth. Temperature had a pronounced effect on the bleaching of neutral cotton seed oil. Maximum adsorption was observed at 60 • C for a contact time of 45 min. The adsorption kinetics were modelled by the intra-particle and the pseudo-second order equations while the adsorption isotherms followed the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. It is concluded that the organic ACs are efficient in pigment removal from neutral cotton seed oil and therefore are potential bleaching agents for the vegetable oil industry.
