Abstract In this research, magnetic porous carbon was directly synthesized through one-step pyrolysis of FeCl3 – lotus seedpod mixture. Properties of the obtained material were analysed by X-ray powder diffraction, SEM image, nitrogen adsorption isotherm and vibrating sample magnetometer. The results showed that magnetic Fe3O4 particles were successfully formed over material template in 1 hour. The magnetic porous carbon possessed the specific magnetization of 7.13 emu/g, high specific surface area of 288 m2/g and total pore volume of 0.18 cm3/g. The material was subsequently applied as a potential catalyst for Ponceau 4R degradation by H2O2. Parameters including pH, H2O2 concentration, and different types of catalysts were investigated. At pH 3, 200 ppm H2O2, and 0.40 g/L magnetic porous carbon, 83% Ponceau 4R 50 ppm was removed after 120 minutes treatment. Moreover, the catalyst powders were separated from the treated mixture easily by a magnet. Summarily, magnetic porous carbon can promise to be an efficient catalyst in decomposition of Ponceau 4R.

A three-factor-three-level experiment was developed by the central composite design (CCD) and Response surface methodology to discuss the effects of concentration of K2CO3, activation temperature and time on the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon (AC) derived from the rice husk and to identify the key preparation parameters. The performance of the AC was characterized by nitrogen adsorption isotherm as Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The optimal parameters were obtained: Rice husk was soaked in K2CO3 solution (2.32 mol/L) with an impregnation ratio (rice husk: K2CO3=1:3) (wt. %), activated at 1239 K for 0.48 h. The results showed that iodine adsorption capacity of the AC was 1268.52 mg/g, the error between the models predicted (1356.98 mg/g) was only 6.2%. The AC has a large apparent surface area (SBET = 1312 m2/g), total pore volume (0.78 cm3/g) and average pore diameter (11.92 Å).

Using MOF-5 as a template, the porous carbon (MDPC-600) possessing high specific surface area was obtained after carbonization and acid washing. After MDPC-600 was loaded with Cu ions, the catalyst Cu/MDPC-600 was acquired by heat treatment under nitrogen atmosphere. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), N2 physical adsorption (BET), field emission electron microscope (SEM), energy spectrum, and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that the Cu/MDPC-600 catalyst prepared by using MOF-5 as the template has a very high specific surface area, and Cu is uniformly supported on the carrier. The catalytic hydrogen peroxide oxidation reaction of phenol hydroxylation was investigated and exhibits better catalytic activity and stability in the phenol hydroxylation reaction. The catalytic effect was best when the reaction temperature was 80°C, the reaction time was 2 h, and the amount of catalyst was 0.05 g. The conversion rate of phenol was 47.6%; the yield and selectivity of catechol were 37.8% and 79.4%, respectively. The activity of the catalyst changes little after three cycles of use.

Biomass-derived porous carbons are considered as one of the most promising electrode materials for supercapacitors due to their low-cost and natural abundance. In this work, pinecone is used to fabricate biomass N, S, O-doped porous carbon via one-step carbonization process with KOH activation. By optimizing the additive amount of KOH and calcination temperature, the asprepared product shows a high specific surface area and pore volume up to 1593.8 m2 g−1 and 0.8582 cm3 g−1, respectively. As an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) electrode, the N, S, O-doped porous carbon exhibits a high specific capacitance of 285 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 and good rate performance with a capacitance retention of 78.6% from 0.5 to 20 A g−1. Furthermore, the as-assembled symmetric supercapacitor with 6 mol L−1 KOH as electrolyte possesses a promising energy density of 6.34 Wh kg−1 and a power density of 250 W kg−1. Outstanding cycling stability was also demonstrated with 94.4% capacitance retention after 10,000 charge/discharge cycles at 1 A g−1.

The aim of the present work was to study the feasibility of wet synthesizing hydroxyapatite (HAP) with star-like and high specific surface area. HAP was synthesized by one-step self-assembly process in ionic liquid media under microwave irradiation, and treated at 300, 600, 900 , respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis revealed that HAP was pure crystal phase. Nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms (NADI) with a characteristic hysteresis loop further confirmed the existence of uniform micropores or channels of HAP. The BET surface area, pore volume, and pore size distribution were calculated to be 324m2g-1, 0.39cm3g-1, and 3.28 nm, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicated that the HAP was of star-shaped morphology. The formation of HAP could be explained by functional ionic liquid as structure-directing template. Well-ordered mesostructure of HAP with star-like might be therefore used as a potential biomaterial for preparation of bone implant materials.

In this study, trimetallic catalysts were prepared via the co-precipitation and impregnation methods. In order to investigate the effect of impregnation on the catalytic activity and crystallite size, a trimetallic catalyst, Fe–Ni–Ce, was prepared through the co-precipitation method in one set of experiments, and cerium was impregnated with the Ni–Fe mixture in the final stage of the preparation in another set. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was employed to confirm the formation of trimetallic catalysts and the success of the impregnation method. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller nitrogen adsorption isotherm exhibits a high specific surface area (approximately 39 m

A one-step self-sustained carbonization of coconut shell biomass, carried out in a brick reactor at a relatively low temperature of 300–500°C, successfully produced a biochar-derived adsorbent with 308 m2/g surface area, 2 nm pore diameter, and 0.15 cm3/g total pore volume. The coconut shell biochar qualifies as a nano-adsorbent, supported by scanning electron microscope images, which showed well-developed nano-pores on the surface of the biochar structure, even though there was no separate activation process. This is the first report whereby coconut shell can be converted to biochar-derived nano-adsorbent at a low carbonization temperature, without the need of the activation process. This is superior to previous reports on biochar produced from oil palm empty fruit bunch.

The xerogels in the system 0.88 mol.% ZrO2 − 0.12 mol.% CeO2 were obtained by the method of coprecipitation in a neutral (pH = 7) and slightly alkaline (pH = 9) medium under the influence of ultrasound with the size of the agglomerates 70 – 230 nm. It is shown that the coprecipitation of hydroxides of zirconium and cerium at pH = 9 with the use of ultrasonic treatment facilitates the formation of a primary crystal is symbolic of the particles in the xerogel, whose size is ~ 5 nm, whereas the xerogel synthesized in a neutral environment consists only of the x-ray amorphous phase. The effect of pH-precipitation on deposition processes of dehydration of the xerogels and crystallization solid solution based on zirconia oxide in the metastable pseudocubic modification (с′-ZrO2) was discovered. It was found that in the temperature range 500 – 800 °C there is a phase transition с′-ZrO2 → t-ZrO2, the size of the crystallites of the formed tetragonal solid solutions is 8 and 11 nm. The method of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption were investigated dispersion properties and characteristics of the pore structure of the powders of the solid solution Zr0.88Ce0.12O2. It is determined that the specific surface area of t-ZrO2 samples obtained after firing at 800 °C is 117 and 178 m2/g, the total pore volume reaches 0.300 − 0.325 cm3/g, the pore size distribution is monomodal and is in the range of 2 − 8 nm. The effect of thermal “aging” at a temperature of 800 °C (40 h) on the structure and dispersion of the solid solution t-ZrO2 powders was studied.
