Activated carbons from acrylic textile waste

Acrylic textile waste was pyrolysed in static bed reactor in a nitrogen atmosphere in relation to different pyrolysis temperatures between 500 °C and 900 °C. Steam activation of the chars generated at 800 °C and 900 °C was carried out at three different temperatures, 800 °C, 850 °C and 900 °C to produce activated carbons. The chemical transformations of raw material and chars produced were investigated using FTIR. The FTIR spectra indicate the...
