Development of pore structures of activated carbon(AC)from activation of biomass with ZnCl2 relies on content and structure of cellulose/hemicellulose in the feedstock.Thermal pretreatment of biomass could induce dehydration and/or aromatization to change the structure of cellulose/hemicellulose.This might interfere with evolution of structures of AC,which was investigated herein via thermal pre-treatment of willow branch(WB)from 200 to 360 ℃ and the subsequent activation with ZnCl2 at 550 ℃.The results showed that thermal pretreatment at 360 ℃(WB-360)could lead to substantial pyrolysis to form biochar,with a yield of 31.9％,accompanying with nearly complete destruction of cellulose crystals and remarkably enhanced aromatic degree.However,cellulose residual in WB-360 could still be acti-vated to form AC-360 with specific surface area of 1837.9 m2·g-1,which was lower than that in AC from activation of untreated WB(AC-blank,2077.8 m2·g-1).Nonetheless,the AC-200 from activation of WB-200 had more developed pores(2113.9 m2·g-1)and superior capability for adsorption of phenol,due to increased permeability of ZnCl2 to the largely intact cellulose structure in WB-200.The thermal pre-treatment did increase diameters of micropores of AC but reduced the overall yield of AC(26.8％for AC-blank versus 18.0％for AC-360),resulting from accelerated cracking but reduced intensity of condensa-tion.In-situ infrared characterization of the activation showed that ZnCl2 mainly catalyzed dehydration,dehydrogenation,condensation,and aromatization but not cracking,suppressing the formation of de-rivatives of cellulose and lignin in bio-oil.The thermal pretreatment formed phenolic-OH and C=O with higher chemical innerness,which changed the reaction network in activation,shifting morphology of fibrous structures in AC-blank to"melting surface"in AC-200 or AC-280.
