Thermodynamic parameters of excess and absolute adsorption of CH4 and SF6 on carbons

Isosteres, isosteric heats, and heat capacities of methane and sulfur hexafluoride on carbons with different porosities were calculated to characterize the excess adsorption and absolute adsorption. The nonlinear character of isosteres of excess adsorption and absolute adsorption of sulfur hexafluoride on FAS carbon with developed mesoporosity was shown.     

Analysis of Adsorbate–Adsorbate and Adsorbate–Adsorbent Interactions to Decode Isosteric Heats of Gas Adsorption

A qualitative interpretation is proposed to interpret isosteric heats of adsorption by considering contributions from three general classes of interaction energy: fluid–fluid heat, fluid–solid heat, and fluid—high‐energy site (HES) heat. Multiple temperature adsorption isotherms are defined for nitrogen, T=(75, 77, 79) K, argon at T=(85, 87, 89) K, and for water and methanol at T=(278, 288, 298) K on a well‐characterized polymer‐based, activated carbon. Nitrogen and argon are subjected to isosteric heat analyses; their zero filling isosteric heats of adsorption are consistent with slit‐pore, adsorption energy enhancement modelling. Water adsorbs entirely via specific interactions, offering decreasing isosteric heat at low pore filling followed by a constant heat slightly in excess of water condensation enthalpy, demonstrating the effects of micropores. Methanol offers both specific adsorption via the alcohol group and non‐specific interactions via its methyl group; the isosteric heat increases at low pore filling, indicating the predominance of non‐specific interactions.     

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.     

Monte carlo simulation and pore-size distribution analysis of the isosteric heat of adsorption of methane in activated carbon

The isosteric heat of adsorption of methane in an activated carbon adsorbent has been modeled by Monte Carlo simulation, using a pore-size distribution (PSD) to relate simulation results for pores of different sizes to the experimental adsorbent. Excellent fits were obtained between experimental and simulated isosteric heats of adsorption of methane in BPL activated carbon. The PSD was then used to predict the adsorption of methane and ethane in the same carbon adsorbent, with good results. The PSD derived from isosteric heat data was shown to be richer in information than PSDs obtained by the more conventional method of fitting to isotherm data.     

Grand canonical monte carlo simulation study of methane adsorption at an open graphite surface and in slit-like carbon pores at 273 K

Grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation was used for the systematic investigation of the supercritical methane adsorption at 273 K on an open graphite surface and in slit-like micropores of different sizes. For both considered adsorption systems the calculated excess adsorption isotherms exhibit a maximum. The effect of the pore size on the maximum surface excess and isosteric enthalpy of adsorption for methane storage at 273 K is discussed. The microscopic detailed picture of methane densification near the homogeneous graphite wall and in slit-like pores at 273 K is presented with selected local density profiles and snapshots. Finally, the reliable pore size distributions, obtained in the range of the microporosity, for two pitch-based microporous activated carbon fibers are calculated from the local excess adsorption isotherms obtained via the GCMC simulation. The current systematic study of supercritical methane adsorption both on an open graphite surface and in slit-like micropores performed by the GCMC summarizes recent investigations performed at slightly different temperatures and usually a lower pressure range by advanced methods based on the statistical thermodynamics.
