Adsorption of carbon dioxide on microporous carbon adsorbents

Adsorption isotherms of carbon dioxide on microporous carbon adsorbents prepared by activation with potassium sulfide in water vapor were measured. The measurements were carried out in the pressure interval from 1 Pa to 0.1 MPa at temperatures from 216.2 to 293.15 K. Based on the theory of volumetric filling of micropores, the main structural and energetic parameters of the microporous carbon adsorbents were calculated. The adsorption isosters of carbon dioxide were calculated from the adsorption isotherms in the same pressure and temperature ranges and approximated by linear dependences. The plots of the differential mole isosteric heats of adsorption vs amount adsorbed were constructed by using the adsorption isosters.     

甲烷在石墨化热解碳黑和活性炭上的吸附

为研究影响碳基吸附剂吸附超临界温度气体的主要因素,选择石墨化热解碳黑BP280和Ajax活性炭,分析超临界温度高压甲烷在其上的吸附平衡。应用容积法,在压力0~20.5 MPa、温度253 K~313 K测定甲烷的吸附平衡数据,并由等量吸附线标绘和亨利定律常数确定等量吸附热。引入通用吸附等温方程,再由方程的Langmuir标绘确定最大吸附容量,进而通过方程的线性化计算吸附平衡态中甲烷分子的作用能。结果表明,甲烷在两种吸附剂上的最大吸附容量均随温度而变化,并都小于液态甲烷的密度;甲烷在碳黑和活性炭上的等量吸附热分别为11.9 kJ/mol~12.5 kJ/mol和17.5 kJ/mol~22.5 kJ/mol,体现了两种吸附剂不同的表面能量分布;甲烷分子间作用能随吸附量的变化特点反映了超临界温度甲烷以类似于压缩气体状态聚集的特点和吸附剂结构上的差异。碳基吸附剂的比表面积和微孔容积是影响其储存甲烷容量的重要因素。     

Adsorption of carbon dioxide on microporous carbon adsorbent PAU-10

Carbon dioxide adsorption on the microporous carbon adsorbent PAU-10 within the 177.8—423 K temperature and 0.1—5.13·10⁶ Pa pressure intervals was studied. The isosteres of absolute adsorption are well approximated by straight lines, which do not change their slope on going to temperatures higher than the critical temperature of CO₂. An increase in the differential molar isosteric heat of adsorption (q _st) at 0 < a < 1 mmol g^–1 is explained by the influence of the endothermic effect of adsorption expansion of the adsorbent. In the region of high pressures and nonideal gas phase, q _st is temperature-dependent.     

Applying diamond like carbon layer on carbon/carbon composites and its effect on the deposition of hydroxyapatite coating

The biomedical application of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites is limited by lacking bioactivity and releasing carbon debris. Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating has been used to improve the bioactivity of C/C composites, but it cannot reduce the release of carbon debris effectively because of poor wear resistance property. In this work, a wear‐resistant layer of diamond like carbon (DLC) is applied on C/C composites, followed by an ultrasound‐assisted electrochemical deposition to prepare HA coatings. The microstructure, morphology and chemical composition of the DLC layer and the HA coating are characterised by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectrum. The bonding strength between the HA coating and the DLC layer modified C/C composites is examined by a tensile test. The results show that the DLC layer has a spherical morphology and provides a uniform surface for the deposition of the HA coating. The HA coating shows flaky morphology with a compact structure. The tensile strength of the HA coating on the DLC layer modified C/C composites is 6.24 ± 0.40 MPa, which is significantly higher than that of HA coating on unmodified C/C composites(3.04 ± 0.20 MPa).

Oxygen reduction on carbon nanomaterial-modified glassy carbon electrodes in alkaline solution

Electroreduction of oxygen in alkaline solution on glassy carbon (GC) electrodes modified with different carbon nanomaterials has been studied. Electrochemical experiments were carried out in 0.1 M KOH employing the rotating disk electrode and rotating ring-disk electrode methods. The GC disk electrodes were modified with carbon nanomaterials using polytetrafluoroethylene as a binder. Four different carbon nanomaterials were used: multiwalled carbon nanotubes, carbon black powder, and two carbide-derived carbons (CDC). For the first time, the electrocatalytic behavior of CDC materials toward oxygen reduction is explored. Electrochemical characterization of the materials showed that all the carbon nanomaterial-modified GC electrodes are highly active for the reduction of oxygen in alkaline solutions.

Preparation and characterization of carbon paste micro-electrode based on carbon nanoparticles

The present paper demonstrates the preparation and characterization of micro-electrodes based on carbon paste which is composed of carbon nano-particles with an average diameter of 30 nm and binding oil. The carbon paste electrode material is encased in pulled glass capillaries ranging in diameter from several tens down to less than ten micro-meters (r = 4.5 μm). Manipulation of the carbon paste micro-electrode (CPME) was accomplished via newly developed piston-driven system which construction and related problems are presented. Several parameters influencing the CPME performance including carbon paste composition and its electrochemical activation/preconditioning were investigated. Basic electrochemical behavior and properties were examined using typical redox system, i.e. potassium hexacyanoferrate. Applicability of the proposed carbon paste micro-electrode is illustrated by measuring some potentially interesting organic and inorganic analytes such as dopamine, ascorbic acid and selected heavy metals.     

Adsorption of dyes on activated carbon and graphitic thermal carbon black

The adsorption of a basic dye (Methylene Blue; MB) and an acidic dye (Acid Orange; AO) has been studied on three activated carbons (ACs; FAS, SKD, and BAU) significantly differing in their porous structures and surface concentrations of ion-exchange groups and on graphitic thermal carbon black (GTCB). The effective specific surface area of FAS, SKD, and BAU determined by dye adsorption is, respectively, 60, 50, and 40% of the BET nitrogen adsorption surface area. The MB uptake on ACs and GTCB increases with rising pH, while the AO uptake decreases. Addition of an electrolyte (0.3 M NaCl) virtually does not effect the adsorption of dyes on ACs and GTCB. It is suggested that hydrophobic interactions, and not ionic ones, are the major contributors to the adsorption of dyes on ACs.     

Chiral-selective etching effects on carbon nanotube growth at edge carbon atoms

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) utilizing metal cluster nanoparticle catalysts is commonly used to synthesize carbon nanotubes (CNT), with oxygen-containing species such as water or alcohol included in the feedstock for enhanced yield. However, the etching effect of these additives on the growth mechanism has rarely been investigated, despite evidence suggesting that etching potentially affects the chirality distribution of product CNTs. We used quantum chemical methods to study how water-based etchant radicals (OH and H) may enhance the chiral selectivity during CVD growth using CNT cap models. Chemical reactivities of the caps with the etchant radicals were evaluated using density functional theory (DFT). It was found that the reactivities on the cap edges correlate with the chirality of the caps. These results suggest that proper selection of etchant species can provide opportunities for selective chirality control of the product CNTs. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface oxides on porous carbon

Wet oxidation of BPL porous carbon by H₂O₂ and HNO₃ changes the pore structure and also increases the concentration of surface oxides. KOH uptake is increased by oxidation and is seen to be dependent on KOH concentration and to a lesser extent on inert electrolyte concentration. Enthalpy of immersion measurements have allowed the estimation of the enthalpy of hydration of the surface oxides and the enthalpy of neutralization of the easily accessible acid oxides.     

Biosensors based on carbon nanotubes

In addition, recent developments in the fields of CNT-based chemiresistors and chemically sensitive field-effect transistors are presented. After a critical discussion of the factors that currently limit the practical use of CNT-based biosensors, the review concludes with an outline of potential future applications for CNTs in biology and medicine.      

Dilatometric measurements on carbon adsorbents

Conclusion The dilatometric changes of carbon adsorbents as a result of water vapor adsorption-desorption cycles are irreversible and depend on the temperature of the initial dehydration. After an adsorption-desorption cycle, the granules remain expanded if the evacuation is carried out at 293 K and are irreversibly compressed if the dehydration is carried out at 623 K.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 927–929, April, 1987.
