The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the potential use of Lumbricus rubellus (LR) as an alternative carbon source for the production of porous carbon particles. LR is renewable and contains high protein and fat. It makes them easily to be converted into carbon particles using a low-temperature process. To produce micron-sized carbon particles, a combination of saw-milling process and heat treatment was used. The experimental results showed that the saw-milling process is effective to lead the production of LR particles with sizes of several micrometers. Then, additional heat treatment to the micrometer-sized LR can promote the formation of micrometer-sized porous carbon particles. In addition, proposal transformation of LR into porous carbon particles is presented to complete the phenomena behind the present study. © 2019 University of Kuwait. All rights reserved.
