SOREME project (LIFE 11 ENV/IT/109) is aimed at synthesizing an innovative sorbent based on activated carbon obtained from the carbonization of waste tires. Microstructural characterization was mainly performed in order to define crystallinity, morphology and porosity of the activated carbon powders obtained in different conditions. In particular, XRD analysis always revealed a partially crystalline structure with different crystallite size of the nanographitic structure. The disorder of these structures was determined by Raman spectroscopy. This evaluation was made on the basis of the ratio of the integrated area of the D and G bands typical of the graphitic structure. Finally, SEM was used to put in evidence the mesopores and macropores.

Abstract Chemical agents have a good influence on the formation of activated carbons, surface characteristic, and its adsorption properties. In this study, the effect of activating agents (ZnCl2, KOH, and H3PO4) on baobab fruit shell (BFS) were evaluated. The characteristics of the baobab fruit shell based activated carbon (BF-ACs) were evaluated through the yield and iodine number. BF-ACs were also characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and nitrogen (N2) adsorption. SEM analysis illustrates those porous structures formed on the surface of BF-ACs were with different sizes. The XRD analysis show that the main structures of BF-ACs are amorphous. FT-IR data demonstrates the presence of different surface groups on the produced BF-ACs. Among activating agent, the KOH was observed to the most appropriate for the production of activated carbon with a large surface area (1029.44 m2/g) from baobab fruit shell.
