From fly ashes of lignocellulose waste combustion to sustainable activated carbons for VOCs removal
• Conversion of biomass fly ash in line with sustainable practices. • KOH and NaOH activation optimized for carbon content and porosity. • Porosity and surface area of ACs tailored by activation method. • Waste-derived ACs effectively adsorb toluene from gas streams. • Performance of waste-based AC comparable to commercial alternatives.
