Abstract

Abstract The use of biomass has grown tremendously among energy-producing factories recently. In addition to burning biomass to produce heat and electricity, new and environment friendly products are being developed in order to utilize biomass more efficiently. Due to the variety of rich carbon sources in biomass, this thesis focuses on the use of such carbon sources in producing activated carbon foams. The first part of this thesis consists of two sections. First, it notes that carbon foams are produced using sugar as a source of carbon. It further notes that the sugar-based carbon foams that have been produced were too brittle and, therefore, require further adjustment in order to produce mechanically stronger foams. In the second sectio...
