Moisture Control In-house by Carbon Produced from Woods Wastes-Iron System Constructional Materials

Abstract

Recently, the recycling of organic by-products and wood wastes has become very important. The development of technology for recycling organic by-products needs to have sustainable development and be helpful to human life. In this study, the techniques for producing carbonaceous adsorbents from a wood waste and iron, and the application to humidity control in the house are described. The amount of water adsorbed onto carbon produced from woods wastes-iron system constructional materials was greater than that adsorbed onto the carbonaceous materials. The carbon produced from woods wastes-iron system constructional materials could be used repeatedly. These results indicated that the carbon produced from woods wastes-iron system constructional materials could be useful for the humidity control.
