Abstrak Pada penelitian ini adsorben komposit silika mesopori dan karbon aktif dibuat untuk mengadsorpsi zat warna direct black 38. Silika mesopori dibuat dari abu sekam padi dan karbon aktif dibuat dari tempurung kelapa. Silika direaksikan dengan NaOH menjadi larutan natrium silikat lalu direaksikan dengan PEG yang selanjutnya PEG diekstraksi secara solvotermal sehingga menghasilkan produk silika mesopori dengan luas permukaan dan pori yang lebih besar. Silika mesopori diproses menjadi komposit dengan karbon aktif yang telah diaktivasi sebelumnya dengan larutan ZnCl2. Kandungan dari komposit silika mesopori/karbon aktif ditunjukkan melalui hasil analisis SEM bahwa komposit hasil sintesis menunjukkan penyebaran karbon dan silika terlihat pada morfologi komposit. Hasil analisis EDX menunjukan komponen penyusun komposit yaitu 38,6% karbon; 46,8% oksigen dan 14,6% silika. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kondisi optimum yang diperlukan untuk adsorpsi direct black 38 dengan komposit silika mesopori/karbon aktif yaitu pH 2 dan waktu optimum 30 menit. Adsorpsi direct black 38 oleh komposit silika mesopori/karbon aktif mengikuti isoterm adsorpsi Langmuir. Oleh karena itu, adsorpsi yang terjadi membentuk lapisan monolayer dengan kapasitas adsorpsi 68,493 mg g-1 Kata kunci: abu sekam padi, adsorpsi, karbon aktif, komposit, PEG, silika mesopori Abstract In this research, mesopore silica/activated carbon composite adsorbent was formed for dye adsorption direct black 38. The mesopore silica was from rice husk ash and activated carbon was from coconut shell. This rice husk ash is processed into sodium silicate solution and the solution was hybrid with PEG. Then PEG was extracted with solvotermal method to produce a higher surface area of mesopore silica. The mesopore silica was processed                         into composite with activated carbon that has been activated by ZnCl2 solution. The mesopore silica/activated carbon composite was analysed by SEM and showed the distribution of carbon, silica and oxygen as composite morphology. The EDX analysis showed that the composite contains of 46.8% carbon; 3.6% oxygen and 14.6% silica. The results showed that the optimum condition required for the adsorption of direct black 38 dye with mesopore silica/activated carbon composite pH was 2 and the optimum contact time was 30 minutes. Adsorption of direct black 38 by mesopore silica/activated carbon composite followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm and formed a monolayer layer with adsorption capacity 68.493 mg g-1.   Keywords: activated carbon, adsorption, composite, mesopore silica, PEG, rice husk ash Abstrak Pada penelitian ini adsorben komposit silika mesopori dan karbon aktif dibuat untuk mengadsorpsi zat warna direct black 38.

Global climate change is one of the major threats facing the world today and can be due to increased atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO2). There is also an immediate need to reduce CO2 emissions, and one of the potential solutions for reducing CO2 emissions is carbon capture and storage (CCS). This work investigated the performance assessment of kaolinite and activated carbon (AC) adsorbent for CO2 capture. In particular, the effect of operating parameters such as temperature, bed height, inlet gas flow rate etc. on CO2 adsorption behaviour of the adsorbents was also investigated. Extensive research on the development of adsorbents that can adsorb large amounts of CO2 with low energy consumption has recently been carried out. In CO2 adsorption technology, the challenge is to develop an adsorbent that is not only non-toxic, eco-friendly, and cost-effective, but also has the potential to extract CO2 gas from a mixed gas stream selectively and effectively. Due to the possibility of a potential adsorbent due to its low cost, rich natural abundance and high mechanical and chemical stability, this study proposes kaolinite. As the presence of clay minerals in soils serves as a pollutant collector to enhance the atmosphere, kaolinite has the potential to be an efficient adsorbent for CO2 capture. Kaolinite was investigated as an adsorbent in this research to confirm if it is suitable for CO2 capture. Kaolinite/activated carbon composite adsorbents were synthesized. Sugarcane bagasse was used in preparing the activated carbon (AC). ZnCl2 was impregnated onto sugarcane bagasse during the preparation of activated carbon (AC) to improve the physical properties (surface area, pore size and pore volume) and the CO2 adsorption capacity of the activated carbon (AC) adsorbent developed. The materials were characterized and tested for CO2 adsorption (activated carbon and kaolinite). BET, FTIR and SEM studies were used to classify the adsorbents for their surface area and pore properties, functional groups, and surface morphology, respectively. BET analysis was conducted and the pore volume, pore size and surface area of the adsorbent materials were reported. Functional groups were actively present in the adsorption process. This was verified using FTIR spectroscopy. The kaolinite adsorbent was not feasible for CO2 capture. BET, SEM, and custom-built CO2 adsorption equipment have confirmed this. In contrast to literature, the CO2 adsorption capacity of kaolinite was low. This is due to the fact that kaolinite used in this study is not suitable as adsorbent for CO2 capture as they exhibited a low CO2 adsorption capacity. The results obtained in this study show that temperature, bed height and inlet gas flow rate influenced the adsorption behaviour of activated carbon (AC), kaolinite and kaolinite/activated carbon composite adsorbent during CO2 capture. At 30 0C, activated carbon (AC) exhibited an adsorption capacity of 28.97 mg CO2/g, the highest capacity among all the adsorbents tested. Kaolinite-activated carbon composite adsorbent offered CO2 adsorption capacities of 18.54 mg CO2/g. Kaolinite provides the lowest capacity of 12.98 mg CO2/g. In conclusion, this research verified that CO2 adsorption with kaolinite and activated carbon is favoured at low temperatures, low operating CO2 flowrates and high column bed height.

Fabrics comprised of porous fibres could provide effective passive protection against chemical and biological (CB) threats whilst maintaining high air permeability (breathability). Here, we fabricate hierarchically porous fibres consisting of regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and activated-carbon (AC) prepared through two fibre spinning techniques in combination with ice-templating—namely cryogenic solution blow spinning (Cryo-SBS) and cryogenic wet-spinning (Cryo-WS). The Cryo-WS RSF fibres had exceptionally small macropores (as low as 0.1 µm) and high specific surface areas (SSAs) of up to 79 m2·g−1. The incorporation of AC could further increase the SSA to 210 m2·g−1 (25 wt.% loading) whilst also increasing adsorption capacity for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Organic contaminated wastes water from petrochemical industries can be removed by adsorbent and photocatalyst. In this work, the degradation rate of phenol have been studied at different ratios of activated carbon/NaA zeolite composite materials coated with TiO2 photocatalyst which are easily to be fabricated into tubular shape by extrusion method. In addition, the foam-inserted composite can be floated on the surface of waste water for the higher phocatalyst activity. While the composite is the low cost adsorbent with high absorption and high ion exchange properties. In order to optimize the efficiency of material, the various ratios of activated carbon/NaA zeolite (3:1, 1:1 and 1:3) and amount of coated TiO2 on the specimen’s surface was studied by UV/Vis spectrophotometer which related to phenol concentration. Moreover the various amount of phenolic resins (10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 wt%) at different reduction firing temperatures (600 and 650 °C) with soaking time of 1, 2 and 3 hours affected to the compressive strength of samples. For the characterization, XRD is used to characterize the phase and SEM is used to provide the morphology of the prepared composite materials.
