Abstract
In this study, the effect of activation procedures on the ammonia adsorption of BFA was investigated. BFA was activated by chemical and physical methods, and the adsorption capacity and surface properties of BFA were analyzed. The results showed that both chemical and physical activation methods increased the BET surface area and porosity of BFA, which in turn enhanced its ammonia adsorption capacity. Specifically, chemically activated BFA performed the best, with a capacity of 5.34 mg/g. This study provides insights into the optimization of BFA as an adsorbent for ammonia and contributes to the development of sustainable and low-cost adsorption technologies.
