    Abstract Traditional regeneration of activated carbon is usually carried out by high-temperature oxidation in industrial processes, which reduces the quality and performance of the adsorbent, thereby increasing costs and damaging the environment. In this study, a simple drying process is proposed to enable reuse of spent activated carbon. The feasibility and merits of this method were evaluated in batch and continuous adsorption modes using dyes as adsorbates. The batch adsorption results showed that the activated carbon could be reused seven times after a simple drying process, because it led to full occupancy of the activated carbon pores by adsorbate molecules. The cumulative adsorption capacities of the activated carbon were as high as 1005.3 mg/g for methyl orange (MO) and 954.8 mg/g for methylene blue (MB). Continuous adsorption experiments in a fixed-bed column demonstrated that the activated carbon column could be reused more than three times after simply drying. Moreover, dye molecules adsorbed by the activated carbon were not leached by the stream of dye solution during reuse. This drying method exhibits three main merits for reuse of activated carbon, including (1) remarkably reduced consumption of fresh activated carbon to 51.5% or below, (2) significantly increased recovery of high-value adsorbate from the liquid phase, and (3) potential integration of multiple steps for industrial adsorption processes.

    Abstract Catalyst-loaded activated carbons are the widely used adsorbents to remove H₂S for purification of the gas streams. Virgin carbon, single, and mixed catalyst-loaded carbon are used as adsorbents. Their performance of H₂S catalytic conversion was studied by evaluating their breakthrough curves in order to investigate the effect of catalyst contents, categories, assistant catalysts, and virgin carbon properties on the H₂S adsorption. The effects of gas stream properties on H₂S catalytic adsorption are also investigated. The results show the H₂S u amount is increased with catalyst contents, and the assistant catalysts can enhance H₂S catalytic conversion. NaOH-loaded carbon has better catalytic performance than KOH-loaded carbon with the same contents. Carbons after impregnation keep a relative high-pore volume between 2 and 20 nm, which is beneficial to give full play to the catalysis. The relative humidity and oxygen can enhance the H₂S adsorption capacity and play important roles in H₂S adsorption. CTC has little effects on the impregnated carbon for H₂S catalytic conversion. Carbon impregnated with a specific catalyst can accelerate target substance adsorption and will restrict the pore volume for organics adsorption.

    Abstract Brønsted basicity of solid particles is commonly evaluated by the pH of their aqueous suspensions, which is a simple and widely used analytical method. Herein, the pH of aqueous suspensions of activated carbons were measured to evaluate their Brønsted basicity. The results show that the pH of activated carbon suspensions varies greatly with residence time in a fast ascending and slowly descending pathway. Moreover, a significant electrolyte effect is found even in an ideal solution electrolyte of <0.01 M. Suspensions of basic porous carbon in 1 M NaCl or 0.5 M Na₂SO₄ solutions produce tenfold more OH⁻ than those in ultrapure water, indicating much stronger Brønsted basicity. The great variation of pH with time and the significant electrolyte effect on pH can be attributed to the assembly of electric double-layers (EDLs) at the interface with the solid surface. Results on the isomerization of glucose into fructose demonstrate that basic activated carbons in electrolyte solutions have the potential to serve as a solid base. This work reveals a high degree of uncertainty in the pH of aqueous suspensions of carbons and provides new insight into the importance of EDLs at interfaces with solid surfaces with regard to Brønsted basicity of solids.

    Abstract Ammonia/steam activation was investigated using a gaseous mixture of reductive ammonia and oxidative steam as the activator in an effort to develop an industrially feasible method to produce nitrogen-containing activated carbons. The results show that the ammonia/steam mixture can activate charcoals in the temperature range of 850–950 °C and produce nitrogen-containing activated carbon with a surface area >2000 m²/g and nitrogen content of ∼5% at 950 °C. Moreover, it was found that employing an equation of the natural exponential function, y=ae−bx+c (a b and c are the constants), can quantitatively describe the evolution of the increased surface area, micropore volume and iodine adsorption capacity of the activated carbon material per gram of gasified char as a function of the char burn-off in the activation process. Analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns of the activated chars further revealed that the activation proceeds via the chemical gasification of the carbon atoms in the amorphous regions and, subsequently, the graphite-like crystallite regions. The former and latter stages are responsible to the formation of a majority of the micropores and mesopores, respectively. In short, ammonia/steam activation is an efficient and cost-effective method to manufacture nitrogen-containing activated carbon materials on a large scale.

    Abstract Membrane separation is considered one of the most promising CO₂/CH₄ separation technologies currently available because it is a safe, environment-friendly, and economical method. However, the inability of membrane materials to reconcile the trade-off between permeability and permeation selectivity limits their further applications; moreover, the mechanism underlying this process is unclear, which is mainly determined by the performance of gas adsorption and diffusion. Therefore, this paper describes the effect of gas adsorption and diffusion on membrane separation by assessing the fundamental gas–membrane and gas–gas interactions. Combining molecular simulation methods (Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulation) and a thermodynamic model called “linearized nonequilibrium thermodynamic transfer model”, we investigate the permeability and permeation selectivity for CO₂/CH₄ in five carbon-based membranes and propose a general method for screening membrane materials. The interaction-dominated mechanism derived in this work provides new insights into membrane separation and facilitates the screening of high-performance membrane materials.

    Abstract Lignin is an attractive renewable feedstock used for the production of carbon materials because of its abundance and high carbon content. This work aims to explore a scalable technology to produce carbon foams from lignin. A lignin self-bubbling method has been developed in this study using zinc chloride as the catalyst for the thermal decomposition of lignin, resole as a cross-linking agent and a surfactant as the foaming assistant agent. The effects of dosage of zinc chloride and resole, type and dosage of surfactant, foaming temperature, heat treatment on the structure and properties of the materials have been investigated. The results show that the structure and properties of the resultant lignin-based carbon foams without any fractures is highly tunable depending on the amount of zinc chloride, resole and surfactants used, the foaming temperature in the self-bubbling process and post-heat treatment step. It is found that the non-ionic surfactant Tween-80 can significantly improve the mechanical strength and porosity of monolithic lignin-based carbon foams. The lignin-based carbon foams prepared using a self-bubbling method under ambient pressure not only exhibit a compressive strength of ˃4 MPa and an electric conductivity of 0.79 S cm⁻¹, but also bear a developed structure of micrometer-sized cells with a low density of 0.3 g cm⁻³ and nanometer-sized pores with surface area of ˃175 m² g⁻¹. Furthermore, the lignin-based carbon foams have high thermal and structural stability to resist burning for various applications and exhibit excellent performance in oil/water separation, which retain 91% of the adsorption capacity toward oils even after being recycled 20 times.

    Abstract Herein, we describe a simple and ultrafast method to synthesize carbon aerogel monoliths from resorcinol (R) and formaldehyde (F) using graphitic crystallite nanomaterials (GCNs). GCNs play the crucial roles in the simple and ultrafast synthesis of carbon aerogel monoliths. In the gelation step, GCNs significantly catalyze the addition reaction of RF resulting into the occurrence of RF gelation at room temperature within 30 min. In the drying step, GCNs not only provide the resulting aerogels with strong support to resist the high surface tension due to heat drying but also construct developed nanochannels with dimensions of hundreds of nanometers with the RF gel particles, thereby permitting water to quickly and isotropically vaporize during heat drying hydrogel. Consequently, carbon aerogel monoliths without any fractures can be synthesized within one day by direct heat drying under ambient pressure instead of the conventional 1–2 weeks. These carbon aerogels have highly developed mesoporosity, high compressive strength of 24–82 MPa and electrical conductivity of 9–25 S/cm, depending on the dosages of GCNs, catalyst and water, as well as their subsequent treatment.
