Abstract

Highly-developed porous carbon was prepared from biomass tar by using ZnCl₂ as activator in carbonization process. The results revealed high surface nitrogen content was up to 5.22wt.%, whilst the pyridinic nitrogen accounted for nearly 71.86%. Moreover, their porosity and specific surface area can be easily tuned by controlling mass ratio of carbon source and activation agents. When applied for CO₂ adsorption, a best performance was achieved with the product prepared at 800^oC and tar/ZnCl₂ratio of 1:4, the CO₂ adsorption capacity at 273 K and 298 K were 2.52 mmol/g and 1.64 mmol/g, respectively. Additionally, the corresponding CO₂/N₂ selectivity were 4.2 and 1.9, initial isosteric heat of adsorption was as high as 33.84 kJ/mol. This research enabled such hierarchically porous carbon as promising alternative absorbent for CO₂ separation and storage, and opened up a new idea for the resource utilization of biomass tar.

Key words： biomass tar; hierarchically porous carbon; CO₂ adsorption; basic group; selectivity
