Adsorption of Nitrogen on Silica Gel Over a Large Range of Temperatures

To study the mechanism of physical adsorption of supercritical gases, the adsorption equilibria of N₂ on silica gel for 103–298 K using 20 K increments and pressures up to 10 MPa were measured. A transition of the adsorption mechanism was proven on crossing the critical temperature, but the transition way observed is different from that observed with activated carbon. This causes a difference in the locations of the linear section of the n- _g isotherm at the near-critical temperature. Although the isotherm type is different on silica gel and on activated carbon in the sub-critical region, all isotherms in the supercritical region can be well modeled by a single model. It leads to the argument that the adsorption mechanism of supercritical gases is identical no matter what kind of adsorbent is used.     

Calorimetric investigations on molecular interactions in a mixed layer adsorbed on a homogeneous surface

The adsorption and differential heats of adsorption of mixtures of methanol and tetrahydrofuran (mole ratio 11), methanol and cyclopentane (11 and 14) and tetrahydrofuran and cyclopentane (11 and 14) on a graphitized carbon black (Sterling MT) surface were determined.The dependence of the intermolecular interactions on the composition of the adsorbed layer was established.

Adsorption on nonporous and supermicroporous adsorbents

The mean values of the characteristic energy of C₆H₆ adsorption in large micropores were calculated from the adsorption isotherms of benzene vapor on carbon blacks. The supermicropores are characterized by the significant dispersion of the adsorption potential resulted from the pore-size distribution, which imparts the polymolecular character to adsorption. The effect of enhancement of the characteristic energy of adsorption was analyzed, which was caused by the overlap of the force fields of the opposite pore walls and the reduction of the adsorption film surface with micropore volume filling. The both factors are comparable by magnitude and depend on the micropore sizes.

Studies on the Physical Adsorption Equilibria of Gases on Porous Solids over a Wide Temperature Range Spanning the Critical Region—Adsorption on Microporous Activated Carbon

Adsorption equilibria of nitrogen and methane on microporous ( < 2 nm) activated carbon were measured for a wide temperature range (103‐298 K) spanning the critical region. Information relating to Henry constants, the isosteric heat of adsorption, and the amount of limiting adsorption were evaluated. All isotherms show type‐I features for both sub‐ and supercritical temperatures. A new isotherm equation and a consideration for the importance of the effect of the adsorbed phase volume allow this kind of isotherms to be modeled satisfactorily. The model parameter of the saturated amount of absolute adsorption (n⁰_t) equals the limiting adsorption amount (n^itm), leaving the physical meaning of the latter clarified, and the exponent parameter (q) proves to be an appropriate index of surface heterogeneity.     

Elution and frontal dynamics of adsorption of organic substances on activated carbon

The elution dynamics of adsorption on activated carbon was studied at various carrier-gas flow rates for a series of organic substances. With the help of the model of the equilibrium adsorption layer that uses the adsorption isotherm described by the theory of volume filling of micropores the outlet curves for the elution and frontal dynamics of adsorption can be adequately predicted. The effective kinetic coefficient and the parameters of the adsorption isotherm were found to be constant for the elution curves calculated both in the elution and frontal regimes of the adsorption dynamics over the whole range of concentrations studied. The effective kinetic coefficient in the mathematical model employed for the systems with microporous adsorbents is independent in fact of the nature of an adsorptive and is mainly determined by the parameters of porous structure of activated carbon and the experimental conditions of a dynamic run.

A simplified integral equation for adsorption of gas mixtures on heterogeneous surfaces

Summary The multiple integral representing the overall isotherm for adsorption of gas mixtures on heterogeneous surfaces is transformed to a single integral, which is promising for predicting the mixed-gas adsorption by means of single-gas adsorption parameters. This transformation is possible when the adsorption energies of components for various adsorption sites show a certain type of correlation.

Adsorption of vapor mixtures of water and organic substance on activated carbons

The isotherms of water adsorption in the presence of an organic substance vapor with a specified concentration are calculated from experimental data on the joint frontal dynamics of adsorption of water vapor and several organic substances (benzene, hexane, cyclohexane, tetrachloromethane, and perfluorotripropylamine) on two samples of activated carbons. The influence of the organic substances on the equilibrium water adsorption decreases with an increase in the molecule size.     

Carbon dioxide adsorption on the microporous ACC carbon adsorbent

Adsorption isotherms of carbon dioxide on the microporous ACC carbon adsorbent and the adsorption deformation of the adsorbent were measured. The heats of adsorption at temperatures raising from 243 to 393 K and pressures from 1 to 5⋅10⁶ Pa were measured. In the low-temperature region (243 K), an increase in the amount adsorbed is accompanied by adsorbent contraction, and at high micropore fillings (a > 10 mmol g⁻¹) the ACC carbon adsorbent expands. At high temperatures, adsorbent expansion is observed in the whole region of micropore filling. At 243 K in the low filling region (a < 1 mmol g⁻¹), the heat of adsorption decreases smoothly from 27 to 24 kJ mol⁻¹. The heat of adsorption remains virtually unchanged in the interval 2 mmol g⁻¹ < a < 11 mmol g⁻¹ and then decreases to 8 kJ mol⁻¹ at a = 12 mmol g⁻¹. Taking into account the nonideal character of the gas phase and adsorbent deformation the heats of adsorption are strongly temperature-dependent in a region of high pressures.

Statistical modeling of equilibrium adsorption of non-ideal mixtures on zeolites

A new model for equilibrium adsorption of a binary mixture on zeolites that takes into account the energy nonuniformity of the adsorption field in the zeolite cavities was developed on the basis of statistical thermodynamics. The nonuniformity of the adsorption field produces rearrangement of molecules in the cavity volume, decreasing the entropy, internal energy, and Helmholz free energy. A procedure for calculation of the thermodynamic functions from the data on the adsorption of pure components was proposed. The limiting cases of maximum ordering of the molecules in the cavity and their random distribution were considered. The approach proposed was exemplified by the substantially non-ideal system nitrogen--argon--zeolite NaX at 160 K. The proposed model describes the behavior of this mixture much better than that of the ideal adsorbed solution theory.     

Energetics of methane adsorption on microporous activated carbons

The influence of microporous carbon surface oxidation on energetics of methane adsorption at 308 K is discussed. Obtained adsorption heats and integral molar entropies of the adsorbate show that microporous carbon surface oxidation changes the methane adsorption process. This is probably resulted by the existence of an endothermic effect during adsorption in oxidized carbon micropores.     

Measurement and theoretical analysis of the adsorption of supercritical methane on superactivated carbon

Adsorption/desorption isotherms of supercritical methane on superactivated carbon have been measured in the range of 0-10 MPa and 233-333 K (20 K interval). The reversibility of the physical adsorption process is acknowledged. The heat of adsorption of 16.5 kJ/mol is determined from the isotherms, and a new modeling strategy for isotherms with maximum is presented. The model yields fits to the experimental isotherms with precision of ?%, maintaining the constancy of the characteristic energy of adsorption. The exponent of the model equation expresses the pore size distribution feature of the adsorbent. The density of the supercritical adsor-bate is evaluated as a parameter of the model. It is shown that the conventional isotherm theory works too at supercritical condition if the limit state of supercritical adsorption is introduced into isotherm modeling.     

超临界甲烷在活性炭上的吸附平衡分析

为分析由吸附平衡时的热力参数确定吸附量、吸附模型和等量吸附热精度的影响因素,选择在温度268.15~338.15 K和压力0~13.5 MPa测试的甲烷在Ajax活性炭上的吸附平衡数据,通过引入甲烷分子可进入活性炭吸附空间内的容积和可以不考虑甲烷在孔内吸附的临界孔宽的概念,依据甲烷在吸附平衡前后的总量守恒,确定甲烷在吸附池内的总量、绝对吸附量和过剩吸附量三者之间的关系式。结果表明,在引入吸附质分子可进入吸附空间内的容积和临界孔宽后,经由活性炭的孔径分布(PSD),可以准确计算甲烷在活性炭上的过剩吸附量;应用实验数据非线性回归Toth方程参数后,可由Gibbs关于吸附的定义确定甲烷在活性炭上的绝对吸附量。比较结果时发现,由于未考虑本体相中甲烷分子对吸附甲烷分子的影响,采用过剩吸附量的等量吸附线标绘确定的等量吸附热数值偏高,工程应用时应由绝对吸附量来确定等量吸附热。
