Abstract

The bamboo charcoals (BC) in various range pyrolysis (400–900 °C) were modified by HNO3, and then the samples were tested for water vapor adsorption. The adsorption experiments were conducted follows to Japanese industrial standard JIS A 1470-1-2002. The physical and chemical properties of the samples were studied by scanning electron microscope, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.The humidity adsorption tests show that the modified BC samples with HNO3 at room temperature (about 22 °C) in pyrolysis temperature (400–500 °C) have a significant enhancement than the control one at lower relative humidity (< 60%). This characteristic is an advantageous application in conservation needs extremely low humidity. Specific surface area and total pore volume are supposed to play an important role for humidity adsorption at high relative humidity (> 60%). Whereas, at low relative humidity, surface functional groups on BC are a dominant factor compared to specific surface area on humidity adsorption.
