Abstract

To abate the environmental burdens arising from CO 2 emissions, biochar offers a strategic means to sequester carbons due to its recalcitrant nature. Also, biochar has a great potential for the use as carbon-based adsorbent because it is a porous material. As such, developing the surface properties of biochar increases a chance to produce biochar with great adsorption performance. Given that biochar is a byproduct in biomass pyrolysis, characteristics of biochar are contingent on pyrolysis operating parameters. In this respect, this work focused on the investigation of surface properties of biochar by controlling temperature and reaction medium in pyrolysis of pine sawdust as case study. In particular, CO 2 was used as reaction medium in pyrolysis process. According to pyrolytic temperature, the surface properties of biochar were indeed developed by CO 2 . The biochar engineered by CO 2 showed the improved capability on CO 2 sorption. In addition, CO 2 has an effect on energy recovery by enhancing syngas production. Thus, this study offers the functionality of CO 2 for converting biomass into engineered biochar as carbon-based adsorbent for CO 2 sorption while recovering energy as syngas.
