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.
