This study illustrates the preparation of activated carbon (AC) from Corn Cob (CC) via microwave assisted K2CO3 activation. The effect of operational parameters including chemical impregnation ratio (0.25-1.25), microwave power (90 – 800 W) and irradiation time (1 – 9 min) on the carbon yield and adsorption capability of derived Corn Cob Activated Carbon (CCAC) were investigated. The results indicated that the optimum conditions were as follows: microwave power of 600W, microwave radiation time of 5 min and the impregnation ratio of K2CO3 was 0.75 g/g. The optimum conditions resulted in CCAC with a maximum adsorption capacity of 275.32 mg/g for MB and carbon yield of 27.09%. The BET surface area, Langmuir surface area and total pore volume were determined to be 765 m2/g, 834 m2/g and 0.43 cm3/g, respectively.

Abstract SnO2 with different Co2+ doping concentrations (0.050, 0.075 and 0.10 M), and Co (0.075 M): SnO2/corn cob activated carbon (Co: SnO2/CCAC) were prepared, and are labelled CS1, CS2, CS3 and CS2/CCAC respectively. The CS2/CCAC showed that the particle size is reduced (16.29 nm) with Co2+ doping and CCAC loading. Moreover, CS2/CCAC indicate that the decreased PL intensity and its lower value (2.156 Ω) of impedance from EIS results and increased separation of the photogenerated e−/h+ pairs. Thus, the result showed that CS2/CCAC possesses improved photocatalytic efficiency (95.38 %) as compared to other samples. The photocatalytic mechanism of CS2/CCAC also is discussed.

In recent years, there has been increased world-wide concern over residual (carry-over) activity of mostly high temperature (HT) and very high temperature (VHT) stable amylases in white, refined sugars from refineries to various food and end-user industries. HT and VHT stable amylases were developed for much larger markets than the sugar industry with harsher processing conditions. There is an urgent need in the sugar industry to be able to remove or inactivate residual, active amylases either in factory or refinery streams or both. A survey of refineries that used amylase and had activated carbon systems for decolorizing, revealed they did not have any customer complaints for residual amylase. The use of high performance activated carbons to remove residual amylase activity was investigated using a Phadebas® method created for the sugar industry to measure residual amylase in syrups. Ability to remove residual amylase protein was dependent on the surface area of the powdered activated carbons as well as mixing (retention) time. The activated carbon also had the additional benefit of removing color and insoluble starch.
