Adsorption of carbonyl sulfide on modified activated carbon under low-oxygen content conditions

Activated carbon sorbents impregnated with KOH, Fe(NO₃)₃, Cu(NO₃)₂, Zn(NO₃)₂ or Co(NO₃)₂ and their applications in catalytic oxidation reaction of COS were investigated. The results showed that the activated carbon modified with 10 % (mass percentage) KOH enhanced the adsorption ability significantly. And it was also found that the oxygen content and temperature were the two most important factors in the COS adsorption. Further investigation on the pore structures of the samples with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated that an adsorption/oxidation process happened in the KOH modified activated carbon in which the major existing forms of sulfur were SO₄ ^2? and S species. The oxidation of COS suggested that KOH in the micropores may play a catalytic role during the adsorption. On the other hand, we found that the desorption activation energy from KOHW was higher than that from AC by the CO₂-TPD spectra, which indicated the adsorption of CO₂ on KOH impregnated activated carbon was stronger. The strong adsorption could be attributed to the basic groups on the activated carbon surface. In conclusion, the activated carbon impregnated with KOH promises a good candidate for COS adsorbent.     

The effect of activation technology on the electrochemical performance of calcium carbide skeleton carbon

Porous CaC₂-derived carbon (CCDC) was synthesized by one-step route from CaC₂ in a freshly prepared chlorine environment at lower temperature. As-prepared CCDC was activated by H₃PO₄, ZnCl₂, and KOH, respectively. The effects of the activation technology on the structure and morphology of CCDC were studied by X-ray diffraction, physical N₂ adsorption/desorption, and transmission electron microscopy. It has been found that the pore structure and specific surface area of CCDC are apparently improved after activation; the CCDC activated by KOH especially showed an excellent specific surface area of 1,100?m²?g^?1. The electrochemical performance of supercapacitors using activated CCDC as electrode active material was studied by cyclic voltammery, galvanostatic charge/discharge, and cycle life measurements. The results indicated that the CCDCs activated by H₃PO₄, ZnCl₂, and KOH revealed enhanced capacitances of 172.6, 198.1, and 250.1?F?g^?1 in 6?M KOH electrolyte, which were increased by 11.4, 27.8, and 61.2?% compared with the pristine CCDC (155?F?g^?1), respectively. Furthermore, the supercapacitors using all activated CCDCs as electrode active material exhibited excellent cycle stability, and the specific capacitance for all activated CCDC samples had nearly no change after 5,000 cycles.     

Surface structural characterization of highly porous activated carbon prepared from corn grain

A novel corn grain precursor was used for the preparation of activated carbon by chemical activation. The detailed investigation of the porosity development in the prepared activated carbon was done by altering the various activation conditions such as the activation temperature, activation time and ratio between the powdered form of carbonized corn grain char and KOH. The surface characteristics including the surface roughness of all the activated carbon samples were evaluated from the analysis of nitrogen (N₂) adsorption isotherm data. At the maximum of 2978 m²/g, a super surface area having the corn grain‐based activated carbon (CG‐AC) was synthesized by using the following conditions: 1/4 ratio of powdered form of carbonized corn grain char/KOH; 800 °C; and 4 h. The possibility of preparing highly porous activated carbons with controlled porosity by varying different activation conditions was found from the pore size distribution results. In particular, the domination of the ratio between the powdered form of carbonized corn grain char and KOH on the porosity development was high compared to the activation temperature and activation time. In addition, the surface roughness calculated from the surface fractal dimension indicates the decrease of surface roughness with increasing activation conditions.

Preparation and performance evaluation of resin-derived carbon spheres for desulfurization of fuels

A polystyrene-based ion-exchange resin was employed as the precursor for preparation of resin-derived carbon spheres(RCSs) through KOH activation with various impregnation ratios.Pore structure,yield and hardness,surface functional groups of the samples and their adsorption performance towards dibenzothiophene(DBT) were investigated.The RCSs with large surface areas(up to 2696m2/g) and total pore volumes(up to 1.46 cm3/g) exhibited larger adsorption capacities than a commercial activated carbon,F400.Polanyi-Dubinin-Mane(PDM) model was applied to fit the adsorption data,which proved that micropore filling was involved during the adsorption process.Moreover,a good linear relationship was observed between the extra-micropore volume and adsorption capacity.Intra-particle diffusion(IPD) model was used to describe the kinetic data of DBT onto the adsorbents.The adsorption processes were divided into three stages according to the different diffusion parameter.The selective adsorption towards DBT in the presence of competing compounds was also investigated and the high selectivity of the RSCs towards DBT may be attributed to the large quantity of acidic oxygen-containing groups.     

Synthesis of High‐Surface‐Area Nitrogen‐Doped Porous Carbon Microflowers and Their Efficient Carbon Dioxide Capture Performance

Sustainable carbon materials have received particular attention in CO₂ capture and storage owing to their abundant pore structures and controllable pore parameters. Here, we report high‐surface‐area hierarchically porous N‐doped carbon microflowers, which were assembled from porous nanosheets by a three‐step route: soft‐template‐assisted self‐assembly, thermal decomposition, and KOH activation. The hydrazine hydrate used in our experiment serves as not only a nitrogen source, but also a structure‐directing agent. The activation process was carried out under low (KOH/carbon=2), mild (KOH/carbon=4) and severe (KOH/carbon=6) activation conditions. The mild activated N‐doped carbon microflowers (A‐NCF‐4) have a hierarchically porous structure, high specific surface area (2309 m² g^?1), desirable micropore size below 1 nm, and importantly large micropore volume (0.95 cm³ g^?1). The remarkably high CO₂ adsorption capacities of 6.52 and 19.32 mmol g^?1 were achieved with this sample at 0 °C (273 K) and two pressures, 1 bar and 20 bar, respectively. Furthermore, this sample also exhibits excellent stability during cyclic operations and good separation selectivity for CO₂ over N₂.     

Activated carbon aerogels with high bimodal porosity for lithium/sulfur batteries

Activated carbon aerogels (ACAs) with high bimodal porosity were obtained for lithium/sulfur batteries by potassium hydroxide (KOH) activation. Then sulfur–activated carbon aerogels (S–ACAs) composites were synthesized by chemical deposition strategy. The S–ACAs composites were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy, and N₂ adsorption/desorption measurements. It is found that the activated carbon aerogels treated by KOH activation presents a porous structure, and sulfur is embedded into the pores of the ACAs network-like matrix after a chemical deposition process. The Li/S–ACAs (with 69.1 wt% active material) composite cathode exhibits discharge capacities of 1,493 mAh g^?1 in the first cycle and 528 mAh g^?1 after 100 cycles at a higher rate of C/5 (335 mA g^?1). The S–ACAs composite cathode exhibits better electrochemical reversibility, higher active material utilization, and less severe polysulfide shuttle than S–CAs composite cathode because of high bimodal porosity structure of the ACAs matrix.     

Thermodynamic parameters of adsorption of adamantane and its derivatives on graphitized thermal carbon black

The adsorption equilibrium constants for adamantane, 1-fluoro-, 1-chloro-, 1,3-difluoro-, 1,3-dichloro-, 1,3-dibromo-, and 1-hydroxyadamantane, and methyl 1-adamantyl ketone were determined by gas chromatography. The results were compared with molecular statistical calculations based on the known atomic-atomic potentials of the interaction of atoms of the sorbate molecule with the C atom of graphitized thermal carbon black (GTCB). The experimental adsorption heats exceed the calculated values by 3-10 kJ mol^-1. The reasons for this divergence are discussed. The changes in the adsorption entropy show that the molecules of the studied compounds form a layer of the ideal dimeric gas on the GTCB surface upon adsorption.     

Preparation of a Carbon-Coated SPME Fiber and Application to the Analysis of BTEX and Halocarbons in Water

A carbon-coated fiber for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been prepared from powdered activated carbon (PAC) and a fused-silica fiber. Scanning electron microscopy of the coating revealed the carbon particles were uniformly distributed on the surface of the fiber substrate. Efficient extraction of BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, and o-xylene) and halocarbons (chloroform, trichloroethylene, and carbon tetrachloride), with short extraction and desorption times, was achieved by use of the coated fiber. The maximum working temperature of the coated fiber was 300 °C and the lifetime was over 140 desorption operations at 260 °C. Limits of quantification (LOQ) of the SPME method for the eight analytes ranged from 0.01 to 0.94 μg L⁻¹, and relative standard deviations (RSD) were below 7.2% (n=6). Recoveries were 87.9–113.4% when the method was applied to the analysis of BTEX and the halocarbons in real aqueous samples. An erratum to this article is available at .
