AbstractThe environment issues associated with global warming and climate change caused by continuous increase in greenhouse gas emissions have attracted worldwide concerns. As renewable resources with good adsorption property, biochar is an efficient and environmental friendly adsorbsent for CO2 capture. In this study, the CO2 adsorption behavior of biochars derived from feedstock mixtures of 70% pine sawdust and 30% sewage sludge by KOH modification was investigated. The textual properties and functional groups of the pristine biochars have been significantly enhanced after KOH activation. With highly developed microporosity, the specific surface area (SSA) of the KOH-modified biochars increased by 3.9-14.5 times. Furthermore, higher CO2 adsorption capacities of 136.7-182.0 mg/g were observed for the modified biochars, compared to pristine ones (35.5-42.9 mg/g). The development of micropores by KOH activation significantly increased the CO2 adsorption capacity. Meanwhile, the presence of hetero atoms (O and K) also positively influenced CO2 adsorption capacity of biochar. Noticeably, both physical and chemical adsorption played a crucial role in CO2 capture, which was verified by different characterization methods including high resolution scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. The Findings of this study demonstrate the-significance of chemical sorption by identifying the transformation of CO2 by biochar composites and in situ characterization of weakly adsorbed and newly formed mineral species during the CO2 sorption process. Moreover, BC700K showed 97% recyclability during 10 con-secutive adsorption-desorption cycles at 25 degrees C, 1 bar. The results obtained in the present study may inspire new re-search interest and provide a comprehensive insight into the research subject to biochars derived from feedstock mixtures for CO2 capture.
