We report a new methodology to produce activated carbons from biomass-derived hydrothermal carbons using air and carbon dioxide. The activation step is crucial to develop porosity in the hydrothermal carbons. Additionally different surface functionalities are also introduced on the surface of the final materials. Our method based on initial hydrothermal carbonization of lignocellulosic biomass (walnut shell, su...
Hydrothermal carbonization processes were studied under different conditions using two different biomass materials: walnut shell and sunflower stem. Coalification under mild conditions was promoted with the aim of increasing the calorific value of the solid hydrochar. Hydrocarbonization processes brought up an increase on the heating value of the materials up to 28.9 and 29.3 MJ kg−1, for sunflower stem and wal...
The adsorption of fluoxetine onto activated carbons (ACs) prepared from almond tree pruning by steam and CO2 activation under different temperature conditions (650– 9508C), was studied. In both series increasing the temperature caused an increase in the BET apparent surface area, yielding ACs with SBET up to 870 and 710m2 g 1 after steam and CO2 activation, respectively. Also, a slight widening of the porosity ...
Activated Carbons (AC) are traditionally produced by chemical or physical activation processes, frequently using biomass materials as precursors [1]. These procedures can be modified in order to create particular surface characteristics (both textural and chemical), so that the adsorption of a given organic or inorganic compound is optimized. Recently, the use of hydrothermal carbonization processes (HTC) to pr...

With these premises, this work aimed to prepare ACs from almond tree pruning by physical activation processes with steam and carbon dioxide, under different temperature conditions. Selected samples were impregnated with triethylenediamine (TEDA, 5%wt.) by sublimation. The ACs characterization was made by N2 adsorption at 77 K (AUTOSORB-1, Quantachrome), mercury porosimetry (AUTOPORE 4900 IV, Micromeritics), hel...
