Abstract

The results of hydrothermal carbonization of pre-treated biomass (wheat bran, wheat straw, rice husk, barley straw) are presented and the parameters that ensure the carbonization process are obtained. The results of studying the morphological, structural and elemental composition of the obtained carbon structures using physical and chemical methods are presented. Plant waste biomass mainly consists of carbohydrates, fiber and proteins. Therefore, biowaste can be converted into carbon-based materials to produce cost-effective products for new applications. The selected biomass is abundant in the Republic of Kazakhstan, widespread and easily accessible, and has a multi-layered layer structure consisting of three different polymers that bind to each other: namely, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. During the hydrothermal process, a highly concentrated hot alkali solution gradually saponifies the wax and dissolves hemicellulose and lignin, while crystalline cellulose is partially degraded but not dissolved. After hemicellulose and lignin are removed, the bonds between cellulose microfibrils are weakened. The remaining cellulose is further subjected to a carbonization process. The data obtained allowed us to draw a conclusion about the correct choice of parameters and synthesis method, processing technique for both the initial biomass and the product after synthesis.
