Carbon dioxide-activated carbons from almond tree pruning: Preparation and characterization

---

Abstract
Activated carbons were prepared from almond tree pruning by non-catalytic and catalytic gasification with carbon dioxide and their surface characteristics were investigated. In both series a two-stage activation procedure (pyrolysis at 800 8C in nitrogen atmosphere, followed by carbon dioxide activation) was used for the production of activated samples. In non-catalytic gasification, the effect of the temperature (650–800 8C for 1 h) and the reaction time (1–12 h at 650 8C) on the surface characteristics of the prepared samples was investigated. Carbons were characterized by means of nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K. The textural parameters of the carbons present a linear relation with the conversion degree until
a value of approximately 40%, when they come independent from both parameters studied. The highest surface area obtained for this series was 840 m2 g-1. In the catalytic gasification the effect of the addition of one catalyst (K and Co) and the gasification time (2–4 h) on the surface and porosity development of the carbons was also studied. At the same conditions, Co leads to higher conversion values than K but this last gives a better porosity development.
