Effect of pore structure in mesoporous silicas on VOC dynamic adsorption/desorption performance

The dynamic adsorption/desorption behavior of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene (C7H8) and benzene (C6H6) was evaluated for three kinds of mesoporous silicas of SBA-15, all having almost the same mesopore size of ca. 5.7 nm, and a MCM-41 silica with a smaller pore size of 2.1 nm using a continuous three-step test. The fiberlike SBA-15 silica exhibited exceptionally good breakthrough behavior, a higher VOC capacity, and easier desorption. The fiberlike silica was composed through the catenation of rodlike particles. The rodlike silicas, by comparison, were proven to be less useful in dynamic adsorption processes because of lower dynamic VOC capacities despite having comparative porous parameters with the fiberlike silica. The large dynamic VOC capacity of the fiberlike silica was attributed to the presence of a bimodal pore system consisting of longer, one-dimensional mesopore channels connected by complementary micropores.     

Adsorption of toluene and toluene–water vapor mixture on almond shell based activated carbons

The aim of work is to study the adsorption of a common volatile organic compound such as toluene using activated carbons prepared by chemical activation with phosphoric acid of a lignocellulosic precursor, almond shell, under different conditions. The Impregnation ratio, temperature and time of activation were modified to obtain activated carbons with different characteristics. Regarding the characteristics of the activated carbons, the effects of porous structure and surface chemistry on the toluene adsorption capacity from toluene isotherms have been analysed. Results show that the control of properties of the activated carbons, particularly porous structure, highly dependent on the preparation conditions, plays a decisive role on the toluene adsorption capacity of the activated carbons. Concerning the experiments of toluene adsorption conducted in dynamic mode, activated carbons prepared at low temperatures of activation show higher breakthrough times than those obtained for activated carbons prepared at higher activation temperatures. The amount of toluene adsorbed in presence of water vapor in the gas stream lead to a decrease ranging from 33 to 46 % except for carbons prepared at higher temperatures activated that show only a slight decrease in the amount of toluene adsorbed. Activated carbons can be regenerated with soft heat treatment showing a slight decrease in the adsorption capacity. The high toluene adsorption capacities as well as the high breakthrough times obtained in presence of water vapor make these activated carbons suitable for commercial applications.

煤在含有吡啶的二元溶液中吸附和溶胀行为的研究

本实验采用WK11模型化合物及ND褐煤和IL烟煤，在含有吡啶的水、环己烷、甲苯双溶液系统中研究其吸附和溶胀行为。研究结果显示，在稀溶液条件下吡啶吸附量和溶胀率都很低，而且即使在很长的反应时间内溶液中的吡啶也不能被全部吸附。这表明虽然由于热力学有利的熵变，吡啶可以断开煤中所有的氢键交联结构而形成新的氢键，但溶剂环境的影响和孔径等因素的扩散限制，也显著影响煤的吡啶吸附量和溶胀行为。在低吡啶浓度时，煤的溶胀率与吸附量无线性关系。在高吡啶浓度时，溶胀率随吸附量的增大而增加。但吡啶浓度超过一定值时，由于吡啶的强抽提作用，一定反应时间后煤和溶剂界面消失。     

Microcolumn test and model analysis of activated carbon adsorption of dissolved organic matter after precoagulation: effects of pH and pore size distribution

Microcolumn adsorption experiments were conducted to generate breakthrough profiles of dissolved organic matter (DOM) remaining after coagulation treatment of a naturally colored surface water for three coal-based activated carbons (ACs) and four water pH levels. A plug-flow homogeneous surface diffusion model was applied to determine the intraparticle surface diffusivities of the DOM at different AC-pH combinations. It was found that, for all three ACs, the removal of DOM increased as pH decreased and the increasing extent changed with the ACs used. The pH dependency of the column performance seemed to be attributed more apparently to pH's capability in changing the zeta potential of AC particles. In addition, at all pH levels, the column performance varied markedly with the ACs used. Correlation analyses of the accumulated amounts of DOM onto all three ACs with corresponding pore volumes in several divided pore size regions clearly indicated that pores with sizes 30-100 A were more effective in adsorbing organic macromolecules. Furthermore, based on model simulations, the sensitivity of bed performance to equilibrium and kinetic parameters was quantified by conducting variance analyses with a four-way classification method.

Influence of heat treatment of rayon-based activated carbon fibers on the adsorption of formaldehyde

The influence of heat treatment of rayon-based activated carbon fibers on the adsorption behavior of formaldehyde was studied. Heat treatment in an inert atmosphere of nitrogen for rayon-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) resulted in a significant increase in the adsorption capacities and prolongation of breakthrough time on removing of formaldehyde. The effect of different heat-treatment conditions on the adsorption characteristics was investigated. The porous structure parameters of the samples under study were investigated using nitrogen adsorption at the low temperature 77.4 K. The pore size distributions of the samples under study were calculated by density functional theory. With the aid of these analyses, the relationship between structure and adsorption properties of rayon-based ACFs for removing formaldehyde was revealed. Improvement of their performance in terms of adsorption selectivity and adsorption rate for formaldehyde were achieved by heat post-treatment in an inert atmosphere of nitrogen.

Characteristics of Nonafluorobutyl Methyl Ether (NFE) Adsorption onto Activated Carbon Fibers and Different-Size-Activated Carbon Particles

The characteristics of adsorption of 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4-nonafluorobutyl methyl ether (NFE), a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) replacement, onto six different activated carbon; preparations (three activated carbon fibers and three different-sized activated carbon particles) were investigated to evaluate the interaction between activated carbon surfaces and NFE. The amount of NFE adsorbed onto the three activated carbon fibers increased with increasing specific surface area and pore volume. The amount of NFE adsorbed onto the three different-sized-activated carbon particles increased with an increase in the particle diameter of the granular activated carbon. The differential heat of the NFE adsorption onto three activated carbon fibers depended on the porosity structure of the activated carbon fibers. The adsorption rate of NFE was also investigated in order to evaluate the efficiency of NFE recovery by the activated carbon surface. The Sameshima equation was used to obtain the isotherms of NFE adsorption onto the activated carbon fibers and different-sized-activated carbon particles. The rate constant k for NFE adsorption onto activated carbon fibers was larger for increased specific surface area and pore volume. The rate of NFE adsorption on activated carbons of three different particle sizes decreased with increasing particle diameter at a low initial pressure. The adsorption isotherms of NFE for the six activated carbons conformed to the Dubinin-Radushkevich equation; the constants BE(0) (the affinity between adsorbate and adsorbent) and W(0) (the adsorption capacity) were calculated. These results indicated that the interaction between the activated carbon and NFE was larger with the smaller specific surface area of the activated carbon fibers and with the smaller particle diameter of the different-sized-activated carbon particles. The degree of packing of NFE in the pores of the activated carbon fibers was greater than that in the pores of the granular activated carbons. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.

STUDIES ON THE DYNAMIC COMPETITIVE ADSORPTION OF ORGANIC VAPORS ON THE ACTIVATED CARBON FIBERS ACTIVATED WITH PHOSPHORIC ACID

The dynamic competititve adsorption behaviors of different binary organic vapor mixtures on ACF-Ps under different operation conditons were investigated by gas chromatography in this paper,The studied mixtrues included benzene/toluene,toluene/xylene,benzene/isopropylbenzene ethly acetate/toluene and benzene/ethyl acetate.Experimental results show that various ACF-Ps,as with ACF-W,can remove both vapors in binary vapor mixtures with over 99% of removal efficiency before the breakthrough point of the more weakly adsorbed vapor,In dynamic competitive adsorption,the more weakly weakle adsorbed vapor noe only penetrates early,but also will be displaced and desorbed consequently by stronger adsorbate and therefore produces a rolling up in the breakthrough curve,The ACF-Ps prepared at different temperatuers have somewhat different adsorption selectivity,The feed concentration ratio of vapros,the length/diameter ratio and the thick of bed have effect on competitive adsorption.The competitive adsorption ability of a vapor is mainly related to its boiling point.Usually,the higher the boiling point ,the stronger the vapor adsorbed on ACF-P.     

Adsorption of benzene, toluene, and xylenes on monolithic carbon aerogels from dry air flows

Monolithic carbon aerogels were obtained by carbonization of organic aerogels prepared by polymerization of resorcinol and formaldehyde under different conditions. Some carbon aerogels obtained were further CO2-activated. Samples were characterized by gas adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and mechanical tests. Benzene, toluene and xylenes were adsorbed from dry air by using carbon bed columns, obtaining the breakthrough curves. There was no correlation between the amount adsorbed at the breakthrough point and the volume of micropores narrower than 0.7 nm. Conversely, a good linear relationship between the amount adsorbed at the breakthrough point and the total micropore volume up to a mean micropore width of around 1.05 nm was found. In addition, the height of the mass transfer zone decreased with the mean width of the total micropores up to a value of around 1.05-1.10 nm. One of the best adsorbents obtained showed the lowest height of the mass transfer zone and one of the highest amounts adsorbed at the breakthrough point, either per mass or volume unit. However, it had a lower elastic modulus and compressive strength than other monolithic carbon aerogels, although its compressive strength (3 MPa) was still high enough to use it in carbon bed columns. The sample with the best mechanical properties was a poorer adsorbent. Regeneration of the exhausted adsorbents allowed the recovery of the hydrocarbons adsorbed without any appreciable loss of adsorption capacity of the carbon bed.

Molecular selective photocatalysis by TiO2/nanoporous silica core/shell particulates

The coating of TiO(2) particles (P25) by a nanoporous silica layer was conducted to impart molecular recognitive photocatalytic ability. TiO(2)/nanoporous silica core/shell particles with varied pore diameters of the shell were synthesized by the reaction of P25 with an aqueous mixture of tetraethoxysilane and alkyltrimethylammonium chloride with varied alkyl chain lengths, followed by calcination. The TEM and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms of the products showed that a nanoporous silica shell with a thickness of ca. 2nm and controlled pore diameter (1.2, 1.6, and 2.7 nm) was deposited on the titania particle when surfactants with different alkyl chain lengths (C12, C16 and C22) were used. The water vapor adsorption/desorption isotherms of the core/shell particles revealed that a larger amount of water adsorbed on the core/shell particles when the pore diameter is larger. The (29)Si MAS NMR spectra of the core/shell particles showed that the amount of surface silanol groups was independent of the water vapor adsorption capacity of the products. The possible molecular recognitive photocatalysis on the products was investigated under UV irradiation using two kinds of aqueous mixtures containing different organic compounds with varied sizes and functional groups: a 4-butylphenol, 4-hexylphenol, and 4-nonylphenol mixture and a 2-nitrophenol, 2-nitro-4-phenylphenol, and 4-nitro-2,6-diphenylphenol mixture. It was found that the core/shell particles exhibited selective adsorption-driven molecular recognitive photocatalytic decomposition of 4-nonylphenol and 2-nitrophenol in the two mixtures.     

Investigation of spherical oil agglomeration properties of celestite

In this study, concentration of celestite particles was investigated by using oil agglomeration. For this purpose, effects of operating parameters were investigated, and zeta potential measurements and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR) analyses have also been carried out. In the experiments, effects of operating parameters such as pH, stirring speed, amount of Na oleate as a anionic type collector and kerosene as a bridging liquid, solid ratio, agglomeration time, collector stirring time, conditioning time, and amount of EDTA were investigated to obtain optimum conditions. Zeta potential measurements were carried out for various pH values and amounts of Na oleate. FTIR analyses were investigated to determine the adsorption type of Na oleate on celestite surface. By evaluation of the experimental results, optimum oil agglomeration conditions of celestite were determined as follows: pH 7, stirring speed 1500 rpm, amount of kerosene 100 l/t, amount of Na oleate 10 kg/t, solid ratio 5 wt%, conditioning time 5 min, collector stirring time 1 min, agglomeration time 5 min, and amount of EDTA 1.0 kg/t. In the optimum conditions, celestite was concentrated with recovery of 89.47 wt%.     

Carbon nanotubes as sorbents for the gas phase preconcentration of semivolatile organics in a microtrap

In this paper we present the application of carbon nanotubes as unique sorbents for the fabrication of microtraps for the nanoscale adsorption/desorption of relatively large semivolatile organic molecules. The microtrap application requires high adsorption capacity as well as easy desorbability; the latter being critical for semivolatile compounds. The sorbent characteristics of single and multiwalled carbon nanotubes for gas phase adsorption/desorption of several compounds has been studied. The nonporous nature of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) eliminates the mass transfer resistance related to diffusion into pore structures, thus allowing easy desorbability. At the same time, their high aspects ratios lead to large breakthrough volumes. As compared to a commercial sorbent Carbopack, the breakthrough volume was as much as an order of magnitude higher in the CNTs, while the rate of desorption measured as the peak width at half height of the desorption band was eight times lower. The trapping and desorption characteristics of single and multi walled nanotubes were found to be comparable. We also found that the presence of disordered carbon impurities, which could be removed by controlled oxidative annealing could greatly degrade the performance of CNTs.
