PG - 118350 LID - S0301-4797(23)01138-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118350 [doi] AB - In this study, activated hydrochar was prepared from orange peel (OP) waste using KOH for the first time for potential environmental applications. The influence of hydrothermal carbonization temperature (180 degrees C, 200 degrees C, and 220 degrees C) on the CO(2) adsorption capacity of OP-derived activated hydrochar (OP-180, OP-200, and OP-220) was investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images revealed that the activated OP hydrochar has high microporosity, a desired attribute for effective adsorption. The yield and the oxygen content of the hydrochar decreased with the increasing process temperature whereas the carbon content showed an increase. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy showed the presence of various functional groups including ketone, aldehydes, esters, and carboxyl in the hydrochar. CO(2) adsorption isotherm was determined for all hydrochar samples. At 25 degrees C and 1 bar, OP-220 showed the highest CO(2) uptake at 3.045 mmol/g. The use of OP waste for CO(2) adsorption applications contributes to carbon neutrality and a circular economy. CI - Copyright (c) 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
