Co-Producing Active Carbons and Sodium Silicate from Pyrolyzed Rice Husk by CO2 Activation Coupled with NaOH Solution Boiling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Active carbon and sodium silicate were produced simultaneously from pyrolyzed rice husk (PRH) by CO2 activation coupled with NaOH solution boiling. Doehlert matrix and Derringer's desirability function were applied to optimizing the boiling conditions to achieve a large specific surface area, a high silica extraction and low alkali consumption. In terms of this purpose, the optimum condition was determined as boiling CO2-activated char with 1mol/L NaOH solution at a liquid/solid ratio of 9.7 mL/g. Under this condition, the modulus of the sodium silicate and the specific surface area (SSA) of the active carbon were 2.62 and 897 m2/g, respectively. The values both reached their respective commercial levels. The pretreatment of the PRH with CO2 activation can markedly increase the SSA of active carbons.
