Acquisition of Raman Spectrometer and High Temperature and Pressure Reactor for Synthesis and Characterization of Carbon Based Hybrid Nanoparticles from Waste Wood
Abstract
We have purchased four instruments using this grant, including a custom built high temperature pressure reactor from Parr Instruments,DXR-Raman spectrometer (Thermoscientific), BET surface area measurement system (NOVA-2200e) from Quantachrome and hightemperature pressure hydrothermal reactor (RC-Ni100, MTI corporation). These tools were fully installed and operational. We have alsosynthesized carbon materials from waste biomass using these two high temperature reactors. We have extensively used a Ramanspectrometer to analyse as synthesized carbon materials. We have also measured surface area of these carbon materials using BET surfacearea analyzer. The initial results are very encouraging and we contine exploring these systems to produce carbon materials from variousbiowaste we have also extended this carbonization to electronic waste material. The analytical tools procured from this grant areincorporated into the graduate level materials characterization course (MSEG-604) and also Nanoscale Science and Engineering course(MSEG-612).
