The present application belongs to the technical field of
porous carbon adsorbent, and particularly relates to a
lignin porous carbon adsorbent, a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: heating and uniformly mixing a
hydrogen bond
acceptor and a
hydrogen bond donor to obtain a eutectic
solvent, adding a third component into the eutectic
solvent, uniformly mixing to obtain a eutectic
solvent system, and the third component is selected from
polyethylene glycol,
ethylene glycol or water; adding
lignin into the eutectic
solvent system, heating, stirring and dissolving, mixing with an anti-solvent, precipitating a product, separating and
drying the precipitated
solid product to obtain regenerated
lignin; mixing the regenerated lignin with a
phenol aqueous solution, then adding a crosslinking agent into the mixture, stirring and dissolving, and obtaining lignin-based nanospheres after reaction; uniformly mixing the lignin-based nanospheres with an activating agent, carbonizing and activating to obtain the lignin
porous carbon adsorbent. The prepared lignin-based nanospheres have a high specific surface area, a large micropore specific surface area, and can fully
expose the adsorption sites of gas molecules to improve the adsorption capacity.
