dc.description.abstractActivated carbon is widely used in adsorption, but there is limited research on its interaction with foam materials. In the first part of this study, activated carbon was produced from ash wood (Fraxinus excelsior) waste through phosphoric acid activation and characterized. The BET surface area of the activated carbon was found to be 623 m2/g. SEM and XRD analyses determined the physical surface morphology and crystallographic properties of activated carbon. In the second part of the study, xanthan gum-based foams were produced with the addition of activated carbon at four different ratios (0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%), and their suitability for insulation purposes was investigated. As the amount of activated carbon increased, the density and thermal conductivity of the foam materials increased while the porosity decreased. Furthermore, adding activated carbon up to 4% increased the compressive properties of the foam materials. On the other hand, a further activated carbon ratio increase to 6% led to aggregation within the foam material, decreasing the compressive strength. In the final part of the study, the quadratic linear analysis provided valuable insights into the relationships between activated carbon concentration and foam material properties. The statistical significance and prediction power of the analysis were rigorously evaluated, ensuring the reliability of the obtained results. The findings presented in this study have important implications for the design and optimization of foam materials. Understanding the influence of activated carbon concentration on foam properties enables researchers and engineers to tailor foam materials.
