dc.description.abstractIn this study, pyrolysis of pine cone, a lignocellulosic biomass, was carried out in a fixed bed reactor. The biochar product obtained was activated by using chemical activation method. KOH was used as the activating agent with the impregnation ratio was 1/4. Activated pine cone biochars were characterized by using analysis techniques such as SEM, BET, and FT-IR. The usage potential of the activated biochar product with a surface area of 1714.5 m(2)/g has been investigated in two different application areas. As the first application area, the CO2 holding capacity of activated biochar was measured by using the thermogravimetric analysis method. The CO2 adsorption capacity of the activated biochar was determined as 160 mg/g (3.64 mmol/g) at 25 degrees C. As a second application area, the effectiveness of activated biochar product in the removal of dyestuff (methyl orange) from aqueous solutions was investigated. The methyl orange adsorption capacity of the activated biochar in optimum conditions (pH 2, temperature of 25 degrees C, initial concentration of 100 mg/L, adsorbent amount 0.8 g/L) was calculated as 109.5 mg/g. Isotherm modeling and kinetic investigations showed that Freundlich and pseudo-second-order models describe the adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior well. As a result, this type of biomass could be successfully evaluated in removing both methyl orange dye, which is a potential pollution risk for aquatic environment, and CO2 that is responsible for climate change and greenhouse effect in the atmosphere.
