Nitrogen-doped porous biochar for selective adsorption of toluene under humid conditions

Tangying Cheng et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the adsorption performance of nitrogen(N)-doped porous biochar for volatile organic compounds (VOCs, toluene, C o = 110 mg/m(3)) in humid conditions through experiments and simulation calculations. The results showed that N-doping increased the specific surface area of biochar by about 1000 m(2) g(-1), increased the surface N content by more than 3%, and reduced hydrophilicity and polarity. The adsorption capacity of toluene remained at about 80% under humid conditions, reaching up to 223 mg/g at 0% relative humidity. The findings regarding the interaction between biochar and toluene and the effects of water vapor and micropores on the adsorption kinetics provide valuable insights for the development and application of N-doped porous biochar in high humidity environments.
