Textural and fuel characteristics of the chars produced by the pyrolysis of waste wood, and the properties of activated carbons prepared from them

Production of active coal from pyrolyzed wood wastes by alkaline activation of KOH

“…The search for these materials could involve existing technologies of food industry. Wastes from these industries can be used to produce the adsorbents [4][5][6][7][8][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Production and characterization of activated carbon from wood wastes

“…In a study published by British Petroleum, 2007 [1], coal reserves will only last 147 years (since 2006). Therefore, agroindustry wastes from oil palm [2], potato [3], wood [4,5] become in good sources to produce activated carbon.…”

Pyrolysis of fiberglass/polyester composites: Recovery and characterization of obtained products

“…Pyrolysis was applied, over the years, to different substrates, e.g. to carbonaceous materials, such as coal or wood [7,8], biomasses [9,10], municipal solid waste [11], packaging [12,13] and tires [14,15] for energy and valuable chemicals recovery. Thanks to its versatility the process was also applied to the pyrolysis of carbon fiber composites (CFRPs) where energy recovery to sustain the process is coupled to the recovery of reusable carbon fibers [16,17,18].…”
