EFFECT OF PHENOLIC RESIN ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED USING LIGNIN EXTRACTED FROM INDUSTRIAL WASTE BLACK LIQUOR

摘要

Biomass-based industrial waste is increasingly interested in academia and industries due to its low cost and renewable applicability. Black liquor is a biomass-based waste industrially obtainable from the chemical pulping process [1]. Lignin is dissolved into black liquor with hemicellulose and other components. It can easily be extracted from black liquor [2,3]. It has been reported that the biomass product exhibits some potential as a precursor for preparing activated carbon [4]. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of phenolic resin incorporated into lignin derived from industrial waste black liquor on the specific surface area and the thermal stability of activated carbon derived from black liquor.
