From fly ashes of lignocellulose waste combustion to sustainable activated carbons for VOCs removal

Highlights
  • Conversion of biomass fly ash in line with sustainable practices.
  • KOH and NaOH activation optimized for carbon content and porosity.
  • Porosity and surface area of ACs tailored by activation method.
  • Waste-derived ACs effectively adsorb toluene from gas streams.
  • Performance of waste-based AC comparable to commercial alternatives.
