Abstract: In this study, a carbonaceous material was obtained from the thermal decomposition of a non-pretreated rice husk in a pyrolysis system with controlled nitrogen at 700, 800, 900, and 1000 °C. The characterization of the material was performed using various analytical techniques. The results of these characterizations indicate that the obtained carbonaceous material can achieve a surface area of 450 m2/g, with a microporous volume of 0.15 cm3/g. Furthermore, the presence of oxygenated function groups, predominantly hydroxyl (C-OH) and epoxy (C-O-C), along with amorphous silicon, was identified. Additionally, the material's CO2 adsorption capacity was assessed, revealing a maximum capacity of 1.0 mmol/g. The findings of this study suggest that the CO2 adsorption effectiveness can be impacted by the presence of specific functional groups. These groups have been shown to enhance the material's affinity for CO2, along with its porosity and surface area. In this sense, a notable correlation was identified between the oxygenated function group content and CO2 adsorption capacity. Also, the adsorption isotherm modeling showed an excellent fit to the Langmuir model, indicating monolayer adsorption on a homogeneous surface. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
