Some problerns in adsorption and calorimetric studies of the steps of catalytic processes

Principal side factors as well as technical and procedural peculiarities capable of distorting the results of measurements of adsorbed and desorbed amounts, of falsifying the nature of the processes proceeding in the systems under study, and of promoting artifacts in calorimetric and other studies of gas chemisorption on powders are considered. Modified techniques and procedures allowing the elimination of sources of side phenomena and artifacts and freeing traditional glass static adsorption apparatuses and experimental procedures from undesirable factors and peculiarities are proposed. Some available chemisorption and calorimetric data representing artifacts and also some data that are not artifacts but, due to imperfections of chemisorption techniques, show up as artifacts are presented and discussed. Several applications of the improved techniques and procedures to calorimetric and adsorption studies of the steps of catalytic processes proceeding on the basis of natural gas and of products of its pr     

Review of the heats of chemisorption of gases at metals in the context of the problem of ‘Heterogeneous’ <Emphasis Type="Italic">vs.</Emphasis> ‘Homogeneous’ catalytic surfaces

A critical review of available data on the heats of chemisorption of gases at metals is given. The effect of upward technical and procedural trends on measured results is demonstrated. The results for surfaces approached to their states occurring in catalytic processes are accentuated. Several tens of chemisorbent/gas systems are considered; a number of the results are confirmed by several independent measurements. The coverage-independence of heats of chemisorption for powders, supported catalysts, components of multi-component catalysts, and films is demonstrated; the better the techniques and procedures, the closer to zero the angle between the heat-coverage function and the abscissa. The principal conclusion on surface homogeneity of stabilized surfaces is made.     

Review of the molar heats of chemisorption and chemabsorption by crystalline oxides and the surface “homogeneity versus heterogeneity” problem

To obtain a solution of the surface “homogeneity versus heterogeneity” problem, the results of microcalorimetric measurements of the dependences of the molar heats of chemisorption and chemabsorption of different gases on the amounts of chemisorbed or chemabsorbed gases in more than 20 gas/metal-oxide systems, in which the molar chemisorption heats are coverage-independent over rather wide ranges of the surface coverages, are presented. In order to approach the states of the metal oxide samples to those in real catalytic processes catalyzed by these oxides, the coverage dependences of the heats of chemisorption of gases at the samples were measured for a number of gas/metal-oxide systems against the chemisorbed amounts of not only the gas under study but also of another gas chemisorbed previously. The calorimetric data-set is supplemented with data obtained by other methods capable of helping to solve the surface “homogeneity versus heterogeneity” problem. These data are discussed together with the data on chemisorption in more than 40 gas/metal systems for which homogeneity of the surfaces was stated in our previous review. The entire set of the measurements was published for several decades by about 40 different composite authors. The chemisorption and chemabsorption mechanisms are discussed. It is concluded that thermally stabilized powder metal and metal oxide surfaces are homogeneous relative to the chemical ability of their atoms in chemisorption and catalytic processes in line with Langmuir’s opinion and the band theory of solids.     

Surface characterization and heats of adsorption of chromatographic alumina gel

The porous nature of chromatographic alumina gel has been investigated by adsorption/condensation processes and electron microscopy. Having 63% porosity, the gel is very porous. Total pore volume as determined by the fluid-displacement method is 0.497 cm³ g^–1. Its specific surface area, as determined by water vapor adsorption, is 225 m² g^–1. Micropore volume, as determined by utilizing Gurwitsch's rule, turns out to be 0.262 cm³ g^–1. The greater portion of the surface area and pore volume occurs in small and transitional pores, with average pore radii (hydraulic) less than 2.1 nm.Organic vapors, such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, methyl acetate, and methyl alcohol, were adsorbed on the gel between 0 and 36°C under vacuum, and the data were recorded on a Cahn-1000 electrobalance device. Isosteric heats of adsorption were calculated by applying the Clausius Clapeyron equation to the adsorption isosters at different surface coverages. Two types of adsorption processes, one with low activation energy and other with high activation energy can be distinguished. The increase in values ofq _st indicates that increasing temperature changes physical adsorption into chemisorption.     

Adsorption phenomena at high pressures and temperatures 5. Heats of excess and total adsorption of krypton on zeolite NaA

Thermodynamic principles for the calculation of differential heats of excess and absolute adsorption were considered. A set of isosteres of excess adsorption of krypton on zeolite NaA are presented, from which the coverage and temperature dependences of the heats of excess adsorption are calculated and analyzed. The reasons for infinitely high values of the excess heats at finite values of adsorption are discussed. The problems of recalculation of the excess adsorption to absolute adsorption are considered.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1946–1950, August, 1996.     

Aging study of carbon molecular sieve membranes

Further insight into the impact of air and humidity exposure on carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSM) is provided. A CMSM was exposed to water vapor and to different dry environments (air, oxygen, nitrogen, propylene, etc.) for several months and the performance stability with time was analyzed periodically. In an effort to better understand the effect of oxygen on the fresh CMSM, regeneration at high temperature, used to remove some oxygen surface groups, was conducted 1 year after fabrication. The impact of oxygen removal from the surface on adsorption equilibrium, kinetic transport and pore structure is considered. Membrane aging as a result of oxygen adsorption was investigated on the heat-treated sample. This is the first time that oxygen chemisorption uptake rates have been measured on CMSM. Passivation methods and regeneration procedures on CMSM are also discussed.     

Island formation in chemisorption 1. Chemisorption model

A model of dissociative chemisorption on a surface with a square lattice was studied using the Monte Carlo method. The model is based on two chemisorption pathways: “direct”—nucleation of adsorption islands, and “indirect”—their growth. The development of the surface distribution picture of chemisorbed particles was found to depend significantly on the contribution of these two pathways (S_indir/S_dir).     

Comparison of Experimental Techniques for Measuring Isosteric Heat of Adsorption

Experimental measurements of heats of adsorption published in the literature are often in disagreement; differences of 10–20% are common. The three most widely used experimental methods are: (1) differentiation of adsorption isotherms at constant loading; (2) measurement of adsorption isosteres; (3) calorimetry. Results from these methods were compared for the systems nitrogen on CaA, oxygen on CaA, and carbon dioxide on NaX. Although the same materials and similar degassing procedures were used for all experiments, calorimetric heats are about 2 kJ/mol higher than the heats from isoteric measurements. Additional experiments are needed to bring these methods into exact agreement.     

Comparative study of adsorption and heats of adsorption on planar and particulate polymer surfaces

The adsorption and heats of adsorption of Lewis acidic-basicprobes on planar and particulate surfaces of polyimide/siloxane, 6F photoimagable fluorinated polyimide and 6F polyimide have been studied by flow microcalorimetric, ellipsometric, and contact angle techniques. The heats of adsotption obtained by these techniques are in good agreement. It is noted that the ellipsometric method based on an analysis of adsorption kinetics has advantages over the contact angle technique and may be used for the study of the interface on planar polymer surfaces. The acidic-basic properties of polymers were approximately estimated by using the DragoE andC constants.     

Sample preparation for gas chromatographic determination of halogenated volatile organic compounds in environmental and biological samples

In this review, the wide spectrum of the techniques of isolation and/or preconcentration and final determination of halogenated volatile organic compounds (HVOCs) in water, air, soil, sediment and biological fluids are presented and discussed. The techniques discussed are solvent microextraction, solid phase extraction, gas extraction (static and dynamic techniques), membrane processes and passive sampling. Also, direct techniques, such as direct aqueous injection into gas chromatography (GC) column and membrane inlet mass spectrometry, are presented. Main attention is paid to the practical application of these techniques during all HVOCs determination.     

Physical adsorption and chemisorption of hydrocarbons on a reduced alumina-chromia catalyst

Adsorption of ethane, butane, hexane, and benzene on a reduced alumina-chromia catalyst was investigated at 20–460 °C. The temperature ranges of physical adsorption and chemisorption were determined. The rate of hydrogen evolution is directly proportional to the rate of chemisorption of hydrocarbons. It was suggested that chemisorption of hydrocarbons results in the formation of intermediates in which Cr²⁺ ions and carbon atoms are linked by σ-bonds. Published inIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

SAPO-34上甲醇及二甲醚吸附等温线及吸附热测量与分析(英文)

在25,60和100°C下分别测定了甲醇及二甲醚在SAPO-34分子筛上的吸附等温线,同时用微量热法测定了微分吸附热与覆盖率的关系曲线(量热线),提出了吸附数据需要利用双吸附位Langmuir方程拟合,并获取了相应的吸附参数.对比测得的吸附等温线与量热线发现,在一定压力下,当甲醇及二甲醚在SAPO-34上达到一定吸附量后,随着吸附质分压增加,量热线快速下降,而吸附等温线显示出吸附量仍然继续增加.由此推断,在SAPO-34分子筛上存在两种吸附位——常规吸附位及弱吸附位,其中弱吸附位在高分压下继续吸附.如缺乏量热数据提供的常规吸附位饱和吸附量数据,对吸附等温线进行单吸附位拟合获取吸附参数极易导致错误结果,尤其是当吸附质分压较高时.建议采用双吸附位Langmuir方程,参照量热线提供的常规吸附位的饱和吸附量,通过拟合可以获得两种吸附位的吸附参数.

Studies on the Adsorption of Gases on Clean Metal Surfaces with the Aid of Field-Emission and Field-Ion Microscope Techniques

Studies on the adsorption of gases such as xenon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide on the surface of a single crystal of tungsten with the aid of field-emission and field-ion microscopy have, in the past few years, led to new, fundamental insights into chemisorption and heterogeneous catalysis. Important phenomena which were discoverd and elucidated by these techniques include the pronounced face specificity of the adsorption, the fact that several different adsorption complexes of a gas are found on one and the same crystal face, and the rearrangement of the surface atoms through chemisorption. Many of the interpretations thus gained for the systems studied can also be generalized for other chemisorption complexes.
