非局域密度泛函理论表征活性炭孔径分布的改进算法

为提高由NLDFT计算值确定活性炭孔径分布(PSD)的精度,根据测得的77K氮在非石墨化碳黑BP460和椰壳活性炭K05上的吸附数据,比较了吸附空间及壁面结构采取不同假设对计算结果的影响。结果表明,常规将活性炭吸附空间近似为无限尺寸的石墨化碳黑表面构成的狭缝孔,并由Lorenz-Berthelot混合法则确定相互作用参数,计算值在较低压力区域和试验值之间的偏差明显;而将吸附壁面结构近似为非石墨化碳黑,并由表面粗糙度和石墨晶格分布的误差函数修正相互作用参数后,计算结果和试验值吻合良好。分析结果时发现,归一化方法和考虑周边吸附质分子作用的加权函数是影响NLDFT计算结果准确性的关键因素。

应用EAM模型研究了氢在Ni(511)面的吸附和解离.首先计算了单个氢原子在Ni(511)面上的吸附能、吸附键长及吸附高度,发现氢在Ni(511)面上有三种相对稳定的吸附位,即台阶棱上的二重桥位B、台阶面上的三重洞位H3′以及平台面上的四重洞位H1和H2.与Ni(001)低指数面相比,明显的增加了台阶棱上的二重桥位B以及台阶面上的三重洞位H3′,并且H1位的吸附性也有所增强,说明台阶的存在影响了氢在Ni(511)表面的吸附性,使台阶附近的吸附位增多且吸附性增强;然后计算了氢分子在台阶表面上解离吸附时的活化势垒、吸附能、氢镍之间键长及氢氢之间的距离,计算结果表明台阶底部更易于使氢分子解离,台阶附近是氢吸附和解离的活性部位.

On the limiting physical adsorption of hydrogen in carbon materials

The specific features of hydrogen adsorption (and adsorption of other gases) at supercritical temperatures (specifically, the absence of capillary condensation and polymolecular adsorption and the appearance of a maximum in the adsorption isotherm in the pressure range 1–10 MPa) are discussed. Hydrogen adsorption decreases by an order of magnitude as the temperature increases from the critical temperature to the room value. The experimental adsorption isotherms in the supercritical range found in the literature are used to deduce a criterion of limiting hydrogen adsorption at various temperatures. Carbon adsorbents of different types (individual single-wall nanotubes, bundles of such nanotubes, multiwall nanotubes, and carbon fibers) are considered. A model of single graphite plane shows that the limiting hydrogen adsorption is 5 wt % at 77 K and 1 wt % at 293 K. These values can only be approached by adsorption in a material made of individual single-wall nanotubes. Methods to increase the adsorption are proposed.     

Hydrogen adsorption in slit-shaped pores of carbon adsorbents

The hydrogen adsorption in slit-shaped pores of carbon adsorbents is investigated using the density functional theory. Hydrogen adsorption in the gap between two monocarbon (graphene) walls is calculated for 20.33, 77, and 200 K. At T = 20.38 and 77 K, our data on the hydrogen storage capacities in slit pores are in good agreement with the results of A.A. Fomkin and V.A. Sinitsyn [23], obtained using Dubinin’s volume pore filling theory and the standard data on benzene adsorption. Under supercritical conditions, the adsorption capacity in the modeling adsorbents is underestimated by half.     

Influence of pretreatment methods on adsorption and catalytic characteristics of toluene over heterogeneous palladium based catalysts

The adsorption and catalytic characteristics of heterogeneous palladium based catalyst and its modified catalysts with gases (air and hydrogen) and acidic aqueous solution (HCl) were studied for evaluating the influence of pretreatment methods for toluene. The structural and energetic adsorption properties of the parent and pretreated catalysts were analyzed by means of nitrogen adsorption isotherms and gravimetric methods. The light-off curve and the XPS investigation were used for analyzing the catalytic activity and the surface state of palladium. It was clearly shown from the experimental results that hydrogen pretreated catalysts having metallic surface state exhibited the highest adsorption capacity and catalytic activity compared to that of parent and modified catalysts. The adsorption equilibrium data for toluene were obtained at three different temperatures and correlated successfully with the two-site Langmuir molecular isotherm model (L2m). It was also found that the palladium phase has more adsorption affinity for toluene molecules than the alumina support. The isosteric heat of adsorption calculated by using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation significantly changed with the coverage and the lateral interactions between the adsorbate-adsorbate molecules control the system. Furthermore, comparative analysis of the adsorption energy distribution revealed that the parent and its modified catalysts have different types of surface energetic heterogeneities.     

Comparison of Activated Carbon,Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes,and Cadmium Hydroxide Nanowire Loaded on Activated Carbon as Adsorbents for Kinetic and Equilibrium Study of Removal of Safranine O

Activated carbon (AC), multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and cadmium hydroxide nanowire loaded on activated carbon (Cd(OH)₂-NW-AC) have been used for the removal of safranine O (SO) from wastewater. The effects of various parameters including pH, temperature, concentration of the dye, amount of adsorbents, and contact time on the SO adsorption efficiency for all adsorbents has been investigated. Graphical correlation of fitting experimental data to various adsorption isotherm models like those of Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich for all adsorbents have been calculated. It was found that safranine O adsorption on all adsorbents was endothermic and feasible in nature. Fitting the experimental data to different kinetic models suggests that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with involvement of the particle diffusion mechanism.     

Adsorption of a tripeptide on platinum electrodes: II. Kinetics and isotherms

Changes in the capacitance of a platinum electrode due to adsorption of the tripeptide Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNA have been measured and analyzed. The experimental isotherm can be described with a Langmuir isotherm if changes in molecular conformation are taken into account. The desorption and adsorption kinetics both exhibit two time constants which are proposed to reflect that the molecules are adsorbed in at least two different conformations. Measurements of the initial rate of adsorption are consistent with the isotherm and the desorption kinetics. The difference between the electrically determined isotherm and one determined by ellipsometry is also explained by a change in conformation of the molecules on the surface.     

Isotherms of real gases

A refined kinetic equation is proposed for the adsorption of molecules on a solid surface, taking account of factors such as the interaction of the molecules and their migration over the surface. Detailed theoretical analysis of the process is complemented by experimental verification of the resulting formulas by pulsed photodesorption. The time of monolayer formation is found to be two orders of magnitude greater than the values calculated from the Langmuir isotherm. This indicates that the new formula for the adsorption isotherm satisfactorily describes the process in high vacuum. Kazan’ State Institute.

Hydrogen storage using physisorption – materials demands

A survey is presented of the storage capacities of a large number of different adsorbents for hydrogen at 77 K and 1 bar. Results are evaluated to examine the feasibility and perspectives of transportable and reversible storage systems based on physisorption of hydrogen on adsorbents. It is concluded that microporousadsorbents, e.g. zeolites and activated carbons, display appreciable sorption capacities. Based on their micropore volume (∼1 ml/g) carbon-based sorbents display the largest adsorption, viz. 238 ml (STP)/g, at the prevailing conditions. Optimization of sorbent and adsorption conditions is expected to lead to adsorption of ∼560 ml (STP)/g, close to targets set for mobile applications.

Ion exchange and adsorption equilibrium studies on clinoptilolite, bentonite and vermiculite

In the present paper three natural minerals used in many industrial and environmental applications namely zeolite clinoptilolite and the clays bentonite and vermiculite are studied by utilising ion exchange and adsorption. In particular, the Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption isotherm is used modified by introducing a solubility-normalized adsorption potential for studying the ion exchange process. The equation, is applied in experimental isotherms in order to determine adsorption energy and heterogeneity parameter for the ion exchange of Pb²⁺ in the natural minerals. The results indicate that the modified Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption isotherm represents the experimental data well and at the same time provides the heterogeneity parameter of the materials, which is an important adsorbent physical parameter as well as the adsorption energy. In order to deepen the study and link the results to the pore structure BET analysis is presented as well.     

Hydrophilic and hydrophobic adsorption on Y zeolites

The uniform large micropores of hydrothermally stable Y zeolites are used widely to confine both polar and non-polar molecules. This paper compares the physisorption of water, methanol, cyclohexane, benzene and other adsorbates over various Y zeolites. These adsorbents are commercial products with reproducibly controllable physical and chemical characteristics. Results indicate that the type I isotherms typical for micropore adsorption can turn into type II or type III isotherms depending on either or both the hydrophobicity of the adsorbent and the polarity of the adsorbate. Methanol produced a rare type V isotherm not reported over zeolites before. Canonical and grand canonical Monte Carlo molecular simulations with Metropolis importance sampling reproduced the experimental isotherms and showed characteristic geometric patterns for molecules confined in Na-X, Na-Y, dealuminated Y, and ZSM5 structures. Adsorbate—adsorbate interactions seem to determine the micropore condensation of both polar and non-polar molecules. Exchanged ions and lattice defects play a secondary role in shaping the adsorption isotherms. The force field of hydrophobic Y appears to exert an as yet unexplored sieving effect on adsorbates having different dipole moments and partial charge distributions. This mechanism is apparently different from both the monolayer formation controlled adsorption on hydrophobic mesopores and macropores and the polarizability and small-pore opening controlled micropore confinement in hydrophobic ZSM5.
