The importance of being porous: polysaccharide-derived mesoporous materials for use in dye adsorption
Abstract
The controlled pyrolysis of mesoporous polysaccharide-derived materials, from starch and alginic acid, formed carbonaceous materials (Starbons®) and were demonstrated as efficient materials for the removal of dyes from wastewater. The resulting materials were characterised by solid-state NMR, N2 adsorption porosimetry, FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tunnelling electron microscopy (TEM). The material’s efficiency for dye adsorption was tested using methylene blue (MB) and acid blue 92 (AB) dyes. Adsorption data indicated that the mesoporosity of the material had a far greater influence on the adsorption capacity and speed of adsorption, than high surface area alone. Mesoporous Starbon® (A300) was evaluated against commercially available activated carbon (Norit) and demonstrated a superior adsorption capacity of MB; 186 mg g−1vs. 42 mg g−1. The kinetic activity of Starbon® was also determined with A800 showing the fastest rate of adsorption compared to S800 and Norit, suggesting that it is a more suitable material for water purification.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
