Abstract:
Carbonaceous materials are considered as one of the most effective adsorbents for pollutant removal and wastewater treatment. Due to their high surface area and distinct chemical and physical properties of the carbonaceous materials, these are emerging as one of the most effective adsorbents. Carbonaceous materials have a large number of applications, mainly in environmental protection (eg, adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2 as well as purification of wastewater by removing heavy metal ions or phenols, chemical industry and electrochemistry [1]. These materials can be obtained by the pyrolysis process.
Pyrolysis represents a thermal decomposition process conducted in an inert atmosphere. Through this process, a large variety of useful materials can be obtained, ranging from fuels (char, oils, syngas) to functional materials with a wide dimension pallet (micro to nanoscale). As raw materials for pyrolysis, secondary raw materials can be used, such as polymeric wastes, making this process a useful one in converting end life products into new materials. The polymer waste used strictly determines the structural, textural and surface properties of the final carbon adsorbent. Many different raw materials are used for the fabrication of activated carbon, for example, coal, biomass [2, 3, 4].
This article aims to the development of carbonaceous materials by pyrolysis of polymeric wastes (such as plastic wastes, biomass) as functional adsorption media in wastewater treatment for the degradation of organic pollutants and heavy metals.
