Abstract

Reactions that occur during the carbonization of pine-shoot may determine the morphology and pore structure of biomorphic porous carbon. This phenomenon has the ability to change the adsorptive performance of biomorphic porous carbon. Individual reactions were separated from the evolution of CO2, CO, CH4, and H2 by using an on-line auto-sampled gas analyzer. Analysis of the structure surface morphology, and the distribution of pores of biomorphic porous carbon in three dimensions was performed through the use of XRD, SEM and polarizing microscopy. The results reveal that the morphology and pore structure of biomorphic porous carbon were significantly influenced by competitive reactions occurring at various temperatures of carbonization. High carbonization temperature favors the formation of well-ordered and penetrable pore channels. Conversely, extra high carbonization temperature may plug the pore-mouth, distort the pore-channels, and destroy the pore-structure of biomorphic porous carbon. Therefore, extra high carbonization temperatures have the ability to prevent small-size adsorbents, such as iodine, methyl blue and thiophenes, from entering into the pore channels of biomorphic porous carbon.
