Using waste biomass to prepare various products by environmentally benign processes is a good way to practice green and sustainable development. In this paper, high porosity and surface area biomass activated carbon was obtained by pyrolysis of pine sawdust without using any chemicals after steam bursting pretreatment. Under hydrothermal conditions at 160 ℃, the differences of steam bursting at 300, 500, or 700 psi pressures on the structure and surface chemical groups of the final activated carbons product were compared. The characterization showed that the specific surface areas and micropore volumes decreased with the increase of pressure, while the relative content of oxygen-containing functional groups changed slightly. The sample obtained following 300 psi pretreatment (HPB300) offered the highest BET surface area and pore volume, 962 m²/g and 0.526 cm³/g respectively, and which also achieved the highest adsorption amounts for both methylene blue (MB) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
