ABSTRACT

In this study, hair waste was converted into active carbon for the frst time and its characteristics were analyzed. As chemi�cal activation tool, zinc chloride (ZnCl2) was impregnated and then carbonized under diferent temperatures (250–300 °C). Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) images showed an increase in the pore density, radius and volume of pores. X-ray difraction analysis (XRD) showed that the samples had an amorphous structure. In Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spec�troscope analysis, C=C and N–H vibrations observed in 1515–1520 cm−1 wave number of protein molecules were found to disappear with the increase in temperature. With Raman spectroscopy, the behaviors of D peak at 1344 cm−1 wave number and G peak at 1566 cm−1 wave number expressing structure layout in carbonized structures were analyzed depending on the temperatures. Between these intensities, (ID/IG) the rate was found to difer in direct proportion to temperature. XRD spectrums showed that the samples are converted into a more irregular crystal structure. All these results implied that the waste hair mass could be used as an adsorbant material.
