Modified Carbonized Rice Husk as Low-Cost CO2 Adsorbent: Perspectives and Possible Improvements

Abstract

The international scientific community in the recent years deserves great attention to the problem of greenhouse gases emissions into the atmosphere. Particular importance was given to the development of CO2 capture and storage strategies. This work investigates the possibility to use carbonized rice husk as a low cost starting materials for the production of 2 sorbents. The performances toward CO2 capture of materials based on rice husk were carried out in a static microreactor showed high efficiency up to 60% with respect to the previously studied carbon-based sorbents.
