Abstract: Chinese fir sawdust was physically activated by papermaking white mud to prepare calcium-rich powdery activated carbons. The effects of preparation conditions on the yield and adsorption capacity of activated carbons were investigated. Compression molding of a mixture of calcium-rich activated carbons blended with cooked sticky rice soup was performed to fabricate sticky rice-lime mortar cemented column-shaped activated carbon monolith. Under the optimized conditions, the specific surface area of the prepared activated carbon was 975 m2/g and the yield was about 24%. After heat treatment at 300℃ for 1 h, the iodine adsorption value of the prepared activated carbon monolith was 410 mg/g, the compressive strength was 18 MPa, and its resistance to water immersion was excellent. SEM and XRD analysis results indicated that the components of the sticky rice-lime mortar bonding activated carbon monolith were cemented closely, and the carbonation crystallization process of the lime component which was integrated in activated carbon monolith could be regulated by the glutinous rice paste to form a compact microstructure.
