Abstract:

Hemicellulose of rice husk was used to prepare xylose by acid catalytic hydrolysis. The xylose cinder was carbonized and separated into C and Si. C was activated into capacitance carbon by activated modification, and Si was used to synthesize calcium silicate whiskers by hydrothermal method. Thus, all the components of rice husk were utilized comprehensively. The electrochemical performance of the capacitance carbon was studied by cyclic voltammeter(CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge(GCD) tests. The structure and morphology of the calcium silicate whiskers were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The results show that the xylose yields(Y1/Y2/Y3) and contents(mass fraction, C1/C2/C3) of the first, the second and the third hydrolysis can achieve Y1=98.5%, C1=3.6%, Y2=85.4%, C2=6.3% and Y3=76.6%, C3=9.0% under the optimized conditions, which are 7%(mass fraction) sulfuric acid, 1:8 solid-to-liquid ratio(g/mL), 2.0 h reaction time. The capacitance carbon prepared by activated modification with 15 mL 8% NaOH solution(AC/15) has the specific capacitance of 77.32 F/g, and a better double rate and cyclic stability.
