Surface chemical and physical properties of TEOS-TBOT-PDMS hybrid materials

The application of nitrogen adsorption, mercury porosimetry and inverse gas chromatography (IGC) for the examination of surface physical and chemical properties of hybrid materials is discussed. Hybrid materials were prepared from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT), and hydroxyl terminated polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) for different TBOT concentrations. It was found that TBOT affects specific surface areas, pore volumes and pore sizes, but does not affect pore morphology. Surface chemical properties were analyzed by IGC. It was found that the dispersive surface energy was a function of the material pore size. Values between 36 and 42 mJ···m^-2 were obtained for the dispersive surface energy which are consistent with those of hybrid materials. On the other hand, the acid-base (k , k ) surface constants showed good correlation with the TBOT concentration. These materials can be considered as anphoteric ones, and it was found that k increases from 1.07 to 1.47, and k increases from 0.76 to 1.73 when the TBOT concentration increases from 0 to 7%. Such increase is assigned to the formation of Si–O–Ti bonds as it was deduced from an IR band appearing at 930 cm^-1 in the FT-IR spectra.     

Influence of the pore size of reversed phase materials on peptide purification processes

The influence of the pore size of a chromatographic reversed phase material on the adsorption equilibria and diffusion of two industrially relevant peptides (i.e. a small synthetic peptide and insulin) has been studied using seven different reversed phase HPLC materials having pore sizes ranging from 90 Å to 300 Å. The stationary phase pore size distribution was obtained by inverse size exclusion measurement (iSEC). The effect of the pore size on the mass transfer properties of the materials was evaluated from Van Deemter experiments. It has been shown that the lumped mass transfer coefficient increases linearly with the average pore size. The Henry coefficient and the impurity selectivity were determined in diluted conditions. The saturation capacity of the main peptides was determined in overloaded conditions using the inverse method (i.e. peak fitting). It was shown that the adsorption equilibria of the peptides on the seven materials is well described by a surface-specific adsorption isotherm. Based on this a lumped kinetic model has been developed to model the elution profile of the two peptides in overloaded conditions and to simulate the purification of the peptide from its crude mixture. It has been found that the separation of insulin from its main impurity (i.e. desamido-insulin) was not affected by the pore size. On the other hand, in the case of the synthetic peptide, it was found that the adsorption of the most significant impurity decreases with the pore size. This decrease is probably due to an increase in silanol activity with decreasing pore size.

Comparative study for the removal of methylene blue via adsorption and photocatalytic degradation

Physically and chemically activated carbons were prepared from date pits and olive stones. Titania and WO(x)-TiO(2)/MCM-41 were prepared as photoactive catalysts. Surface characterizations were investigated from ash content, pH, base neutralization capacities and FT-IR techniques. The textural characteristics, namely specific surface area (S(BET)) and pore texture, were determined from low temperature adsorption of N(2) at 77 K. The decolorization of aqueous solution of methylene blue was performed by means of two alternative methods. Steam-activated carbons own higher surface area compared with ZnCl(2)-activated carbons, and the micropore surface area represents the major contribution of the total area. Steam-activated carbons were the most efficient decolorizing adsorbents owing to its higher surface area, total pore volume and the basic nature of the surface. The calculated values of DeltaG(0), DeltaH(0) and DeltaS(0) indicate the spontaneous behavior of adsorption. The photocatalytic degradation is more convenient method in decolorizing of methylene blue compared with the adsorption process onto activated carbons.     

Preparation and characterization of activated carbon from date stones by physical activation with steam

Activated carbons are produced from wastes of Algerian date stones by pyrolysis and physical activation in the presence of water vapor into a heated fixed-bed reactor. The effect of pyrolysis temperature and activation hold time on textural and chemical surface properties of raw date stones and carbon materials produced are studied. As expected, the percentage yield decreases with increase of activation temperature and hold time. The characterization of carbon materials is performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption (BET). Results show the presence of cellulose and hemicellulose in the raw material, and the predominance of carbon and graphite after pyrolysis. Different oxygen-containing functional groups are found in the raw material while aromatic structures are developed after pyrolysis and activation. The best specific surface area (635 m² g⁻¹) and microporous volume (0.716 cm³ g⁻¹) are obtained when the date stones are grinded, pyrolysed at 700 °C under a 100 cm³ min⁻¹ nitrogen flow and then activated under water vapor at 700 °C for 6 h.     

煤粉在热分解过程中比表面积和孔隙结构的变化

用氮气等温吸附（７７Ｋ）方法测量了四种不同煤粉在热分解过程中的ＢＥＴ比表面积和孔隙结构。结果表明，不同煤种的比表面积在热分解过程中其变化有着相似的规律。在热分解温度低于５００℃时，煤粉所释放的挥发份主要来自煤粒外表面。当热分解温度高于５００℃后，煤粉释放出的挥发份主要来自煤粒内部深处。在８００℃时，由于煤的塑性，煤粒的部分孔减小和关闭，使其比表面积以及孔隙明显减少。在热分解温度高于８５０℃后，煤粉的比表面积随温度升高而急剧增大。     

On the physical adsorption of gases on carbon materials from molecular simulation

In this paper we present a series of work covering a range of aspects relating molecular simulation to experiment. The importance of surface mediation type effects to the adsorption of simple and complex gases is demonstrated. Coupled with the adsorption of simple gases is their projection area when used for surface area determination. The pressure dependence of a projection area is demonstrated for argon at 77 and 87.3 K. A simple model is used to account for the degree of graphitisation of a surface is demonstrated and used to account for the isosteric heat behaviour of non-graphitised carbon blacks. Turning from surfaces to porous solids, an alternative treatment of experiment data (either sub or super critical) is presented that avoids the ambiguity of excess amounts adsorbed. Using this method one is able to obtain pore size distributions and amounts adsorbed without relying on such things as helium expansion volumes. Since this type of method is usually applied to composite solids we also demonstrate the correct method for calculating the heat of adsorption using independent sets of simulations. The final topic covered in this paper is an example of the information that can be gained from the heat capacity of an adsorbed phase.     

Factors affecting the nodule size of asymmetric PMMA membranes

Several factors that may affect the surface nodule size of a polymeric membrane were under investigation. The increase of polymer concentration and molecular weight were found to increase the surface nodule size. The increase of casting temperature also resulted in an increase in nodule size. These results supported that the radius of gyration and the collision frequency between polymer chains were the key factors affecting the nodule size. However, when the radius of gyration was reduced by the use of a poor solvent or by pre-adding nonsolvent in the casting solution, the surface nodule size increased. It suggested that there existed other factors affecting the nodule size on membrane surface besides the gyration radius and the collision frequency of polymer chains. In this study, we found in most cases that the surface nodule size decreased along with the surface tension difference between the casting solution and the coagulant. To demonstrate the effect of surface tension, we examined the nodule size inside the membranes where the nodule formation was not significantly affected by the interfacial tension. Opposite to what was observed on the surface, the nodule size increased with the solvation power of the solvent. This result suggested that it was the interfacial tension that overpowered the gyration radius in affecting the surface nodule size.     

Pore structural characteristics, size exclusion properties and column performance of two mesoporous amorphous silicas and their pseudomorphically transformed MCM-41 type derivatives

Highly ordered mesoporous silicas such as, mobile composition of matter, MCM-41, MCM-48, and the SBA-types of materials have helped to a large extent to understand the formation mechanisms of the pore structure of adsorbents and to improve the methods of pore structural characterization. It still remains an open question whether the high order, the regularity of the pore system, and the narrow pore size distribution of the materials will lead to a substantial benefit when these materials are employed in liquid phase separation processes. MCM-41 type 10 microm beads are synthesized following the route of pseudomorphic transformation of highly porous amorphous silicas. Highly porous silicas and the pseudomorphically transformed derivatives are characterized by nitrogen sorption at 77 K and by inverse size-exclusion chromatography (ISEC) employing polystyrene standards. Applying the network model developed by Grimes, we calculated the pore connectivity n(T) of the materials. The value of n(T) varies between the percolation threshold of the lattice and values of n(T) > 10, the latter being the limiting value above which the material can be considered to be almost infinitely connected such that the ISEC behavior of the material calculated with the pore network model is the same when calculated with a parallel pore model which assumes an infinite connectivity. One should expect that the pore connectivity is reflected in the column performance, when these native and unmodified materials are packed into columns and tested with low molecular weight analytes in the Normal Phase LC mode. As found in a previous study on monolithic silicas and highly porous silicas, the slope of the plate height (HETP) - linear velocity (u) curve decreased significantly with enhanced pore connectivity of the materials. First results on the pseudomorphically transformed MCM-41 type silicas and their highly porous amorphous precursors showed that (i) the transformation did not change the pore connectivity (within the limits detectable by ISEC) from the starting material to the final product and (ii) the slope of the HETP versus u curve for dibutylphtalate did not change significantly after the pseudomorphic transformation.     

Transport properties of electrospun nylon 6 nonwoven mats

In this work, we evaluate the physical properties of nylon 6 nonwoven mats produced from solutions with formic acid. Nonwoven electrospun mats from various solutions with different concentration are examined regarding their morphology, pore size, surface area, and gas transport properties. Each nonwoven mat with average fiber diameters from 90 to 500 nm was prepared under controlled electrospinning process parameters. From the results, it was observed that the fiber diameter was strongly affected by the polymer concentration (polymer viscosity). In additional the results showed that the pore size, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, and gas transport property of electrospun nylon 6 nonwoven mats were affected by the fiber diameter.

Decoupling microporosity and nitrogen content to optimize CO2 adsorption in melamine–resorcinol–formaldehyde xerogels

Selected melamine–resorcinol–formaldehyde (MRF) xerogels have been synthesized and analyzed to determine the influence of nitrogen (N) incorporated into the gel structure and resorcinol-to-catalyst (sodium carbonate) and resorcinol-to-formaldehyde molar ratios. The aforementioned factors were varied, and their effect on gel properties was characterized, allowing for a better understanding of how gel characteristics can be tailored and their impact on gel performance. MRF gels, produced in this study, were characterized using volumetric and gravimetric analyses to determine porous structure and quantify CO₂ capture capacities and kinetics, allowing determination of heats of adsorption and activation energies for CO₂. MRF10_200_0.25 has exhibited the largest CO₂ capacity (1.8 mmol/g at 0 °C) of the sample tested. Thermal stability was tested by proximate analysis, and MRF xerogels exhibited high thermal stability; however, it was found that volatile matter increases as [M] increases, particularly for [M] 20%w/w and higher. Working capacity was determined from a series of cycling studies, and capacities of 0.55, 0.58, and 0.56 mmol/g at 60 °C were observed for [M] of 10, 20, and 30%w/w, respectively. The measured heat of adsorption showed that incorporation of nitrogen functionalities results in a low energy penalty, demonstrating that the adsorption mechanism is still driven by physical forces. The results obtained indicate that the family of materials studied here offer potential routes for carbon capture materials, through a combination of micropore structure development and incorporation of favorable Lewis acid–base interactions.     

Effect of TMB/P123 ratios on physicochemical properties of mesocellular foam carbon (MCF-C) as catalyst for ethanol dehydrogenation

The preparation of mesocellular foam carbon catalysts with different ratios of 1,3,5-trimethyl benzene (TMB)/P123 is represented for investigation in catalytic activity via ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde. The TMB was used as a swelling agent and P123 acted as template-structuring. The physicochemical properties of synthesized catalysts were determined using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), and carbon dioxide temperature-programmed desorption (CO₂-TPD). The evidence suggested that various ratios of TMB/P123 can differently control the mesostructure including the pore size, specific surface area, and pore volume. Particularly, MCF-C 3.5 catalyst (TMB/P123 of 3.5) enhanced the catalytic via ethanol dehydrogenation. Interestingly, effectively controllable pore structure of catalysts is beneficial for the desorption of selective product such as acetaldehyde leading to remarkably increased yield of acetaldehyde. Furthermore, the MCF-C 3.5 evidently exhibited outstanding stability at temperature of 400 °C for 12 h. Thus, it can be reasonably selected the ratio of TMB/P123 as 3.5, which is dominantly facilitated either high diffusion of reactant or high stability without losing of the traditional structure compared with other ratios of TMB/P123.     

Engineering properties of a camelid antibody affinity sorbent for Immunoglobulin G purification

An IgG-specific camelid antibody matrix (BAC, Naarden, The Netherlands), developed from an immune phage display library, was characterized regarding engineering properties including mass transfer characteristics. Uptake kinetics and equilibrium binding capacity were determined by a finite bath method. Adsorption kinetic parameters were also determined using a real time biosensor. Slightly different properties to conventional Staphylococcal protein A affinity media were shown; especially a 2–2.5 times lower maximal binding capacity with a value of 26 mg/ml polyclonal IgG was obtained. Mass transfer could be described by using a film and pore diffusion model (D_e = 5 × 10⁻⁸ cm²/s). Determined engineering parameters were used to predict breakthrough behaviour in column mode considering film and pore resistances. The dynamic binding capacity at 10% breakthrough did not change when residence time was at least 6 min.     

Atomic force microscope studies of membranes: Surface pore structures of Cyclopore and Anopore membranes

Non-contact atomic force microscopy has been used to investigate the surface pore structure of Cyclopore and Anopore microfiltration membranes in air. Three Cyclopore membranes and three Anopore membranes of different pore sizes were studied. Excellent high resolution images were obtained. Analysis of the images gave quantitative information on the surface pore structure, in particular the pore size distribution. Non-contact AFM is an excellent means of obtaining such information for microfiltration membranes.

INVESTIGATION OF THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN WATER AND MODIFIED SILICA GEL BY IGC AND TPD

In this work, the thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption of water vapor on untreated silica gel and silica gel treated with hygroscopic salts and silane coupling agent were determined by Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) in the infinite dilution region. The desorption activation energies of the water vapor on virgin and modified silica gels were estimated by using the Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD) technique. The interactions between the water and the virgin and modified silica gels were discussed. Results showed that the thermodynamic parameters and desorption activation energy of water vapour on the silica gels increase with decreasing pore size and increasing the surface hydrophilic properties. The desorption activation energy of virgin and modified silica gels was found to increase with increasing the thermodynamic parameters. The larger the adsorption parameters and the desorption activation energy were, the interactions between water and virgin and modified silica gels were.     

A study in high-temperature silylation of silica

High-temperature silylation (HTS) used for the deactivation of capillary columns was studied on the silica commonly used in HPLC to gain a better insight into this process. LiChrosorb Si 100 was silylated with disilazanes at different temperatures and the materials obtained were compared in terms of organic and silanol group surface concentration, IR reflection spectra, HPLC behavior, and pore distribution parameters. Applying diphenyltetramethyldisilazane, the volatile reaction products were monitored during the HTS process. With increasing silylation temperature up to 400°C the silanol surface concentration is reduced to a very small level independent of the organic group concentration which exhibits a broad maximum depending upon substituents and temperature. Up to 350°C triorganosiloxy groups prevail as bonded organic groups. It could be proved that HTS is accompanied by pore alterations of the silica matrix. Arguments proposed by different authors in explaining HTS effects are discussed.     

活性炭表面化学性质对负载Cu颗粒性质及催化甲醇氧化羰基化反应的影响

分别以在氮气和氨气气氛下热处理得到的活性炭(AC)为载体,采用浸渍焙烧法制备了Cu/AC催化剂,考察了AC表面化学性质对催化剂组成、Cu物种颗粒尺寸以及催化甲醇氧化羰基化反应性能的影响.对AC载体和相应Cu/AC催化剂的表征结果表明,AC在氮气中于600℃热处理后表面大部分羧基被消除,有利于催化剂中Cu物种的分散和减小颗粒尺寸;进一步升高温度至800℃,AC表面部分内酯、酸酐、酚类和醚类官能团被消除,导致催化剂中Cu物种发生团聚和烧结.随着表面含氧官能团数量的减少,前驱体与载体之间的相互作用力减弱,促进Cu~(2+)还原为Cu+或Cu0.而氨气气氛下热处理会导致AC表面更多含氧官能团被消除,但同时引入了吡啶氮、吡咯氮和4价氮等含氮官能团,更利于催化剂中Cu物种的分散和减小颗粒尺寸.随着表面含氮官能团数量的增加,前驱体与载体之间的相互作用力增强,抑制了Cu~(2+)的还原.实验结果表明,催化剂的活性随着Cu物种的颗粒尺寸而改变,当以氨气气氛下于800℃热处理的AC为载体时,Cu物种的颗粒尺寸最小(6.8 nm),催化性能最佳,催化反应的甲醇转化率、碳酸二甲酯(DMC)的时空收率和选择性分别为9.6%,278.7 mg·g-1·h-1和68.3%.
