dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to produce activated carbon (AC) from lignin obtained with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) of choline chloride-lactic acid. For this, lignin particles were produced using the DES. The DES lignin (DES-Lig) was modified with zinc dichloride, and the lignin activated carbon (lig-AC) was produced by carbonization at 600 and 900 degrees C. In this study, the AC obtained from the commercial lignin was also used to determine the changes in the lig-AC from the lignin obtained with the DES. The material properties were investigated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and the structural properties were investigated with X-ray diffractometry (XRD) of the lig-ACs. The commercial and DES-Lig exhibited different microscopic morphologies. The surface area of the samples generally ranged from 504 to 698 g/cm2, and they included both micro- and mesopores according to SEM characterization. The XRD analysis showed that the ACs obtained have an amorphous structure, and thermogravimetric analysis of the ACs exhibited similar thermal behavior to that in the literature. The best morphological structure was found in the ACs prepared from lignin with the DES at 900 degrees C according to the results of SEM, TGA, XRD and BET analysis. The proximate analysis showed that the best ACs contain 1.5% moisture, 6.5% volatile matter, 5.5% ash content and 86.5% fixed carbon. According to the elemental analysis, the amounts of essential elements, including C, H, N and O were investigated, and the best activated carbon was determined to be the DES-Lig at 900 degrees C according to BET and the proximate fixed carbon results.
