| Abstract | Humanity needs innovative ways to combat the environmental burden caused by food waste, which is one of the critical global issues. We proposed food waste-derived engineered biochar (FWDEB) for CO2 capture from a life cycle perspective. FWDEB samples were prepared by carbonization and chemical activation for CO2 adsorption. FW400-KOH600(2), carbonized at 400 degrees C and then activated at 600 degrees C with a KOH/biochar mass ratio of 2, presented the best CO2 adsorption capacities of 4.06 mmol g(-1) at 0 degrees C (1 bar) and 2.54 mmol g(-1) at 25 degrees C (1 bar) among all prepared samples. The CO2 uptake at 25 degrees C (1 bar) was affected by both micropore volume and surface area limited by narrow micropores less than 8 angstrom. Basic O- and N-functional groups were generated during the KOH activation, which are beneficial for enhancing the FWDEB-based CO2 adsorption. Moreover, a life cycle assessment was implemented to quantify the potential environmental impacts of FW400-KOH600(2), indicating that negative net global warming potential could be achieved using the FWDEB-based CO2 capture approach. Owing to the environmental benefits, we highlighted its potential as a promising technical route to mitigate climate change and achieve a waste-to-resource strategy. |
