Direct air capture (DAC) of CO 2 is considered one the most promising carbon methods to reduce ambient concentration for climate change mitigation. Biochar represents an attractive adsorbent DAC because it environmentally friendly and cost-effective. In this work, KOH-activated bamboo biochar shows capacity 3.49 mmol g −1 (25 °C, 1 bar), used as perform direct using a fixed-bed reactor with up ...

Alkali activated binders are a promising alternative to the use of Portland cement in manufacture concrete for curbing CO2 emissions. Novel sources silicates have been investigated recent years reducing cost and environmental impacts associated with chemical activators. This study describes production solid sodium silicate (SS) activating powder from bamboo leaf ash (BLA). Bamboo leaves were ca...

Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) is a stable carbon (C) fraction that has effects on long-term global C balance. Here, we report the phytolith and PhytOC accumulation in moso bamboo leaves developed on four types of parent materials. The results show that PhytOC content of moso bamboo varies with parent material in the order of granodiorite (2.0 g kg(-1)) > granite (1.6 g kg(-1)) > basalt (1....

In this paper, wool carpet dye adsorption properties of nanoporous activated carbon materials (NCMs) prepared from bamboo agro-product is reported. Bamboo cane powder was chemically activated with phosphoric acid at different temperatures (400, 500, and 600 ◦C) at an impregnation ratio of 1:1. We found that the specific surface area and the total pore volume of NCM increases with temperature gi...

Bamboo forests, especially the Moso bamboo forest (MBF) and the Lei bamboo forest (LBF), have a strong carbon sequestration capability and play an important role in the global forest carbon cycle. The leaf area index (LAI) is an important structural parameter for simulating the spatiotemporal pattern of the carbon cycle in bamboo forests. However, current LAI products suffer from substantial no...

In the course of utilization of moso bamboo, some fractions are not effectively utilized due to the weakness in mechanical properties. Only a part of these residues are recovered for energy production or made into activated carbon; the remainder are discarded resulting in environment pollution (Mui et al., 2008). As the bamboo residue is a kind of polysaccharides-rich lignocellulosic material, ...

Bamboo is widely distributed in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. As a major non-wood forest product and wood substitute, bamboo is of increasing interest to ecologists owing to its rapid growth and correspondingly high potential for mitigating climate change. With a long history of production and utilization of bamboo, China is one of the countries with the richest bamboo resources an...

chlorination of natural water containing humic compounds, produce significant amount of disinfectant by - products. the most important of such compounds are thlvis and halo acetic acids, suspected to cause cancer in animals and human. studies showed that under usual processes of water treatment plants, thms can not be removed effectively. since chlorination is the final process of treatment, it...

Bamboo waste (BW) was activated with a K2CO3 precursor in microwave process for the adsorption of MB dye from an aqueous solution. The prepared bamboo-waste-activated carbon (BWAC) analyzed by instrumental techniques such as FTIR, SEM, and BET analysis. surface BWAC mesoporous area 107.148 m2/g. removal optimized three variables adsorbent dose, pH, contact time using Box–Behnken design (BBD) mo...
