    Synthesis, characterization and hydrogen storage application of an activated carbon derivated from orange peels waste
    (2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Ledesma, Brenda Cecilia; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    The recovery and reuse of orange peel waste (OP) is a sustainable strategy in a circular economy. In this research, OP was used as the raw material for the preparation of a novel carbonaceous nanomaterial to be used in the adsorption of hydrogen as an alternative in the use of green hydrogen. Activated carbons were synthesized from orange peel using different synthesis conditions. The activation of the carbon was carried out by means of a chemical process with phosphoric acid as activating agent, varying the the activating agent/precursor ratio, and the contact time between them. The activating agent used is a solution of phosphoric acid (50 wt %) in different weight ratios of acid/precursor of 3:1 or 6:1, with resting time of 24 hours. The best support was obtained using a carbonization time of 1 h, a carbonization temperature of 470 , 6:1 precursor/acid ratio and 24 hours of resting time. According XRD analysis all samples present amorphous structure of activated carbons with BET surface areas of 1000 to 1400 m /g. With the activated carbons obtained with the best structure and texture, the adsorption of hydrogen and the effects on their meso / microporosity were studied. Said material significantly improved H storage behaviour compared to CMK-3 type nanostructured carbon (3.1% by weight at -196,15 C and 10 bar). The synthesized material shows promise in absorbing hydrogen by weak binding forces (physisorption).

    Orange peel biowaste used as a nanoscopic hydrogen reservoir
    (2022) Juárez, Juliana María; Ledesma, Brenda; Anunziata, Oscar Alfredo; Gómez Costa, Marcos Bruno; Beltramone, Andrea Raquel
    This work addresses the bio-waste vaporization approach for the development of a novel carbonaceous nanomaterial to be used in the adsorption of hydrogen as an alternative in the use of green hydrogen. In this research, activated carbons were synthesized from orange peel using different synthesis conditions. With the activated carbons obtained with the best structure and texture, the adsorption of hydrogen and the effects on their meso / microporosity were studied. The activation of the carbon was carried out by means of a chemical process with phosphoric acid as activating agent, varying the acid concentration, the substrate / activating agent ratio, and the contact time between them. The best support was obtained using a carbonization time of 1 h, a carbonization temperature of 470oC, a phosphoric acid concentration of 50% by weight and a BET area of 1402 m2 / g. Said material significantly improved H2 storage behaviour compared to CMK-3 type nanostructured carbon (3.1% by weight at -196,15 oC and 10 bar). The synthesized material shows promise in absorbing hydrogen by weak binding forces (physisorption).
