Experimental Determination and Analysis of High Pressure Adsorption Data of Pure Gases and Gas Mixtures

Adsorption data of the pure gases ethane, methane and their mixtures on zeolite 13X and the pure gases carbon dioxide, nitrogen and their mixtures on activated carbon Norit R1 were measured gravimetrically at a temperature of 298 K and pressures up to 15 MPa. From the total loads the partial loads were calculated by the modified van Ness approach. The calculated loads show a good agreement with the experimental data.     

Equation of State for Adsorption of Gases and Their Mixtures in Porous Materials

Desorption functions (G, H, S) are useful for adsorbent characterization, phase equilibria, and enthalpy and entropy balances. Adsorption isotherms, enthalpy, and entropy are temperature and pressure derivatives of the free energy, so that G(T, P) is an adsorption equation-of-state which contains complete thermodynamic information about the system. The free energy of desorption is the minimum isothermal work necessary to regenerate the adsorbent. The free energy of desorption also determines the selectivity of an adsorbent for different gases. The ideal enthalpy of desorption for a mixture (H = _i n _i h° _i ) is a simple function of the enthalpies of desorption for the individual components. Sample calculations of the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy desorption functions are provided for pure components and mixtures.

Gravimetrically Measured Isotherms of Adsorption of Benzene,n-hexane and Cyclohexene on Different Porous Silica Gels

The isotherms of adsorption-desorption of the vapour of benzene, cyclohexene and n-hexane on different porous silica gels were measured gravimetrically. For all the adsorbates, the amount of vapour condensed in the adsorbent pores is significantly greater than the amount adsorbed. The isotherms of all the adsorbates are linear in a wide range of relative pressures. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermodynamic Description of Excess Isotherms in High-Pressure Adsorption of Methane, Argon and Nitrogen

In the present work the supercritical fluids argon, methane and nitrogen were picked out as examples, and the results of analysis concerning the adsorption of these fluids at activated carbon Norit R1 (Norit company, Germany) and SCS-3 (ISPE, Kiev) at different temperatures up to a pressure of 50 MPa are presented and discussed in this paper. The principle of working of the measuring device is described in this context as well.A three-parameter isothermal equation is used to represent the adsorption equilibrium. The isothermal equation is based on a physical model concept which has already been used for the modelling of adsorption processes with a pressure up to 15 MPa.     

Studies on the Physical Adsorption Equilibria of Gases on Porous Solids over a Wide Temperature Range Spanning the Critical Region—Adsorption on Microporous Activated Carbon

Adsorption equilibria of nitrogen and methane on microporous ( < 2 nm) activated carbon were measured for a wide temperature range (103‐298 K) spanning the critical region. Information relating to Henry constants, the isosteric heat of adsorption, and the amount of limiting adsorption were evaluated. All isotherms show type‐I features for both sub‐ and supercritical temperatures. A new isotherm equation and a consideration for the importance of the effect of the adsorbed phase volume allow this kind of isotherms to be modeled satisfactorily. The model parameter of the saturated amount of absolute adsorption (n⁰_t) equals the limiting adsorption amount (n^itm), leaving the physical meaning of the latter clarified, and the exponent parameter (q) proves to be an appropriate index of surface heterogeneity.

Measurement of Excess Functions of Binary Gas Mixtures Adsorbed in Zeolites by Adsorption Calorimetry

Adsorption equilibria and heats of adsorption were measured for mixtures of ethylene and ethane on NaX at 298 K. The pure-component isosteric heat of adsorption of ethane increases with loading due to gas-gas interactions; the heat of adsorption of ethylene is approximately constant with loading because of a balance between cooperative interactions and gas-solid energetic heterogeneity. This mixture, which is nearly ideal on carbon, exhibits moderate negative deviations from ideality on NaX. The nonideality is explained by a difference in the polarities of the molecules: ethylene has a quadrupole moment but ethane is nonpolar. The infinite-dilution activity coefficients are unity in the Henry's law region and decrease exponentially to a value of 0.56 at high loading. Regular-solution theory fails to agree with experiment. All three excess functions (free energy, enthalpy, and entropy) are negative; thus, activity coefficients are less than unity and the enthalpy of mixing in the adsorbed phase is exothermic. These results are consistent with an adsorbed solution in which the molecules are segregated into regions of different composition.     

High Pressure Adsorption Data of Methane, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide and their Binary and Ternary Mixtures on Activated Carbon

Adsorption equilibria of the gases CH₄, N₂, and CO₂ and their binary and ternary mixtures on activated carbon Norit R1 Extra have been measured in the pressure range 0 P 6 MPa at T = 298 K. Pure gas adsorption equilibria were measured gravimetrically. Coadsorption data of the three binary mixtures CH₄/N₂, CH₄/CO₂, and CO₂/N₂ were obtained by the volume-gravimetric method. Isotherms of five ternary mixtures CH₄/CO₂/N₂ were measured using the volumetric-chromatographic method. First, we present in a short overview the method and procedure of measurement. In a second part, the measured data of pressures, surface excess amounts adsorbed and absolute amounts adsorbed are presented and analyzed. In the last part of the paper the resulting pure gas adsorption data are correlated using a generalized dual-site Langmuir isotherm. Mixture adsorption can be predicted by this model using only pure component parameters with fair accuracy. Results are presented and discussed in several tables and figures.     

Adsorption of Gases, Vapors and Liquids by Microporous Adsorbents

Adsorption of Xe, Kr, Ar, N₂, O₂, H₂ CH₄, CO₂, He, and freons by PAU-10 and ACC microporous carbon adsorbents as well as by A and X zeolites was investigated over a wide range of pressures (0.1 Pa – 20 MPa) and temperatures (77, 120–600 K). The amount of gases, vapors and liquids adsorbed by microporous adsorbents increases steadily with increasing pressure and does not change dramatically if phase transitions occur in the adsorptive. Isosteres of adsorption constructed as a curve of ln P against f(1/T)_a retain a linear form over a wide range of pressures and temperatures. The slope of isosteres does not vary on going through the critical temperature of the gaseous phase. At high pressures, due to non-ideality of the gaseous phase and non-inert behavior of the adsorbent the differential molar heat of adsorption is dependent on temperature. At high fillings of micropores the differential molar isosteric heat capacities of adsorption systems show maxima that indicate the occurrence of structural rearrangements in the adsorbate.     

Solution and Diffusion Behavior of Pure Gases and Gas Mixtures in Glassy Polymer Membranes

A general model for the solution and diffusion behavior in pure gas-polymer membrane systems and gas mixture-polymer membrane systems has been developed. Proved by experiments on different glassy and rubbery polymer membranes at various temperatures and pressures, this model can achieve the prediction of permeation behavior of pure gases and gas mixtures in polymer membranes only using the model parameters obtained from experiments on pure gases. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental.     

Contactless Weighing Up to High Pressures For Analysing Adsorption And Density of Fluids

Adsorption of supercritical fluids methane, nitrogen and argon by active carbons was studied up to a pressure of 500 bar. A three-parameter isothermal equation was used to represent the adsorption equilibrium. This isothermal equation is based on a physical model conception which had already been used for the modelling of adsorption processes with a pressure up to 150 bar. Beside the exact knowledge of the measurable parameters pressure, temperature and fluid composition, the density of the adsorbate are essential for the evaluation of the adsorption analysis. The fluid density can be determined either via equations of state, which is normally the most practicable and fastest way, or via lift measurements of a lowering body in the fluid based on the principle of Archimedes. This work represents and discusses the question of to what extent the fluid density determined under real conditions via equations of state, using, for example, equation of Bender, corresponds to the fluid density measured under high-pressure.

Changes in the Enantiomeric Composition of Chiral Mixtures Upon Adsorption on a Non‐Chiral Surface

The adsorption of propylene oxide, a chiral molecule, on a Pt(111) single‐crystal surface was studied as a function of enantiomeric composition by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and molecular beams. Two opposing trends were observed leading to variations in the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the chemisorbed layers with respect to the composition of the gas‐phase mixtures: a kinetic effect dominant during the initial uptake, with a preference toward the formation of enantiopure layers, and a steady‐state effect seen after approximately monolayer half‐saturation, at which point the preference is toward racemization. These effects may account for important phenomena such as the bias toward one chirality in biological systems and the selective crystallization of some chiral compounds, and may also be used in practical applications for chemical separations and catalysis.     

Measurement of Gas Mixture Adsorption Equilibria of Natural Gas Compounds on Microporous Sorbents

Physisorption equilibria of multicomponent gases on microporous solids like zeolites or activated carbons are considered. In view of lack of reliable and simple methods to calculate mixture adsorption isotherms from pure component data, experiments are still indispensable. An overview of classical and new methods to measure multicomponent gas adsorption equilibria is given. Some of the basic concepts like the Gibbs excess mass and the absolute mass adsorbed underlying these methods are discussed. Experimental data and a class of new adsorption isotherms for inhomogeneous microporous adsorbents of fractal dimension will be given in another subsequent paper (ADSO 635-98) by the same group of authors.

Adsorption phenomena at high pressures and temperatures 4. Isotherms of excess and absolute adsorption of Kr on NaA zeolite

The problem of conversion of an isotherm of excess adsorption measured experimentally into values of the total amount of the adsorbate (absolute adsorption) has been formulated. Five isotherms of excess adsorption of krypton on NaA zeolite were measured (at 334–500 K) at equilibrium pressures of -160 MPa. The corresponding isotherms of the total amount were calculated and the temperature dependences of the parameters of an equation describing the isotherms of excess adsorption were identified. It was shown that at high temperatures and pressures, krypton atoms diffuse into the -cavities of the NaA zeolite.For Part 3, seeRuss. Chem. Bull., 1996, 45, 534 (Engl.
