  • Title: Sawdust pellets from coniferous species as adsorbents for NO2 removal.
    Author: Pietrzak R.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2010 Feb; 101(3):907-13. PubMed ID: 19783429.
    Abstract:
    Carbonaceous adsorbents based on sawdust pellets from coniferous tree species were obtained by carbonisation at different temperatures and different periods of time. The effect of NO(2) adsorption in dry and wet condition on the sorption ability of the chars obtained was tested. The results have shown that NO(2) sorption properties of chars depend on the conditions of pyrolysis and the conditions of adsorption. The best NO(2) sorption capacity of 18.3 and 43.1mg/g in dry and wet conditions, respectively, was noted for the char sample pyrolysed at 800 degrees C for 60 min. The FTIR spectra of the exhausted samples reveal a great increase in the intensity of the band at approximately 1380 cm(-1) assigned to the vibrations of -NO(2), -ONO(2) or NO(3)(-), while in the DTG curves a new peak appears in the range 200-400 degrees C assigned to the release of nitrogen compounds of low stability in high temperatures.
