Fibers of oil palm empty fruit bunches were carbonized at low temperature, milled and sieved to produce self-adhesive carbon grain (SACG). Grain monolith (GMs) of SACG added with 0 %, 20 % and 40 % cellulose powder were carbonized and activated to produce porous activated carbon monolith (ACMs) supercapacitor electrodes. ACMs were investigated by nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm and cyclic voltammetry methods to determine the effect of cellulose on the porosity and specific capacitance of the electrodes, respectively. The results showed that the addition of cellulose in GMs reduced the specific surface area of the ACMs by a factor of 94 % to 97 %, coresponding to a decrease of 31 % to 54 % in the values of specific capacitor of the ACMs supercapacitor cells.

The synthesis of carbon nanoparticles (Cn) and oxygen-doped nanocarbon (OCn) was successfully done through a one-step synthesis by the solution plasma process (SPP). The Cn and OCn were nitrogen-doped by nitridation under an ammonia atmosphere at 800 °C for 2 h to yield NCn and NOCn, respectively, for carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption. The NOCn exhibited the highest specific surface area (~570 m2 g−1) and highest CO2 adsorption capacity (1.63 mmol g−1 at 25 °C) among the synthesized samples. The primary nitrogen species on the surface of NOCn were pyridinic-N and pyrrolic-N. The synergistic effect of microporosity and nitrogen functionality on the NOCn surface played an essential role in CO2 adsorption enhancement. From the thermodynamic viewpoint, the CO2 adsorption on NOCn was physisorption, exothermic, and spontaneous. The NOCn showed a more negative enthalpy of adsorption, indicating its stronger interaction for CO2 on the surface, and hence, the higher adsorption capacity. The CO2 adsorption on NOCn over the whole pressure range at 25–55 °C best fitted the Toth model, suggesting monolayer adsorption on the heterogeneous surface. In addition, NOCn expressed a higher selective CO2 adsorption than Cn and so was a good candidate for multicycle adsorption.

In this study, rubber seed shell was used for the production of activated carbon by chemical activation using an ionic liquid, [C4Py][Tf2N] as an activating agent. Sample RSS-IL 800 shows the highest specific surface area of 393.99 m2/g, a total pore volume of 0.206 cm3/g, and a micropore volume of 0.172 cm3/g. The performance of AC samples as an adsorbent for CO2 was also studied using a static volumetric technique evaluated at a temperature of 25 °C and 1 bar pressure. The CO2 adsorption capacity for sample RSS-IL 800 was 2.436 mmol/g, comparable with reported data from the previous study. Results also show that the CO2 adsorption capacity decreased at a higher temperature between 50 and 100 °C and increased at elevated pressure due to its exothermic behavior. The Langmuir model fits the adsorption data well, and the isosteric heat of adsorption proved that the physisorption process and exothermic behavior occur.

Global climate change is one of the major threats facing the world today and can be due to increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO2). There is also an immediate need to reduce CO2 emissions, and one of the potential solutions for reducing CO2 emissions is carbon capture and storage (CCS). This work investigated the performance assessment of kaolinite and activated carbon (AC) adsorbent for CO2 capture. In particular, the effect of operating parameters such as temperature, bed height, inlet gas flow rate etc. on CO2 adsorption behaviour of the adsorbents was also investigated. Extensive research on the development of adsorbents that can adsorb large amounts of CO2 with low energy consumption has recently been carried out. In CO2 adsorption technology, the challenge is to develop an adsorbent that is not only non-toxic, eco-friendly, and cost-effective, but also has the potential to extract CO2 gas from a mixed gas stream selectively and effectively. Due to the possibility of a potential adsorbent due to its low cost, rich natural abundance and high mechanical and chemical stability, this study proposes kaolinite. As the presence of clay minerals in soils serves as a pollutant collector to enhance the atmosphere, kaolinite has the potential to be an efficient adsorbent for CO2 capture. Kaolinite was investigated as an adsorbent in this research to confirm if it is suitable for CO2 capture. Kaolinite/activated carbon composite adsorbents were synthesized. Sugarcane bagasse was used in preparing the activated carbon (AC). ZnCl2 was impregnated onto sugarcane bagasse during the preparation of activated carbon (AC) to improve the physical properties (surface area, pore size and pore volume) and the CO2 adsorption capacity of the activated carbon (AC) adsorbent developed. The materials were characterized and tested for CO2 adsorption (activated carbon and kaolinite). BET, FTIR and SEM studies were used to classify the adsorbents for their surface area and pore properties, functional groups, and surface morphology, respectively. BET analysis was conducted and the pore volume, pore size and surface area of the adsorbent materials were reported. Functional groups were actively present in the adsorption process. This was verified using FTIR spectroscopy. The kaolinite adsorbent was not feasible for CO2 capture. BET, SEM, and custom-built CO2 adsorption equipment have confirmed this. In contrast to literature, the CO2 adsorption capacity of kaolinite was low. This is due to the fact that kaolinite used in this study is not suitable as adsorbent for CO2 capture as they exhibited a low CO2 adsorption capacity. The results obtained in this study show that temperature, bed height and inlet gas flow rate influenced the adsorption behaviour of activated carbon (AC), kaolinite and kaolinite/activated carbon composite adsorbent during CO2 capture. At 30 0C, activated carbon (AC) exhibited an adsorption capacity of 28.97 mg CO2/g, the highest capacity among all the adsorbents tested. Kaolinite-activated carbon composite adsorbent offered CO2 adsorption capacities of 18.54 mg CO2/g. Kaolinite provides the lowest capacity of 12.98 mg CO2/g. In conclusion, this research verified that CO2 adsorption with kaolinite and activated carbon is favoured at low temperatures, low operating CO2 flowrates and high column bed height.
