Abstract:

By adjusting the ratio of waste porcelain powder and glass powder, porous ceramics with different porosities were sintered at a series of temperatures gradients from 910 ℃ to 990 ℃. Porous ceramics with different porosities were used as adsorbents to evaluate their adsorption/desorption performance for six flavors. The retained components within the porous ceramics were elucidated, and a release model for these flavors from the porous ceramics was established. The results indicate that the porous ceramics with 40% porosity exhibits the highest specific surface area, reaching 2.33×106 mm2/g, along with the greatest adsorption capacity (223.98~301.82 mg/g) and the shortest adsorption time (2.68~9.90 s) for all six flavors. The dense pore network of the high porosity porous ceramics effectively shortens the diffusion path of the flavors, facilitating a faster adsorption rate. In the flavor release experiments, the release rate of the three alcohol-soluble flavors approach 100%, whereas those of three water-soluble flavors all remain below 70%. The main retained components of the three water-soluble flavors in the porous ceramics are DL-glyceraldehyde, L-lactic acid, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, respectively. These retained components contain two types of polar functional groups from among hydroxyl group (—OH), aldehyde group (—CHO), and carboxyl group (—COOH), and they form a strong hydrogen-bonding network with the hydroxyl group on the surface of porous ceramics, which enhances the adsorption efficacy of the porous ceramics towards them.
