CO2 Adsorption Study of Potassium-Based Activation of Carbon Spheres

The adsorption properties of microporous spherical carbon materials obtained from the resorcinol-formaldehyde resin, treated in a solvothermal reactor heated with microwaves and then subjected to carbonization, are presented. The potassium-based activation of carbon spheres was carried out in two ways: solution-based and solid-based methods. The effect of various factors, such as chemical agent selection, chemical activating agent content, and the temperature or time of activation, was investigated. The influence of microwave treatment on the adsorption properties was also investigated and described. The adsorption performance of carbon spheres was evaluated in detail by examining CO₂ adsorption from the gas phase.     

Pressureless and Low-Pressure Synthesis of Microporous Carbon Spheres Applied to CO2 Adsorption

In this work, low-pressure synthesis of carbon spheres from resorcinol and formaldehyde using an autoclave is presented. The influence of reaction time and process temperature as well as the effect of potassium oxalate, an activator, on the morphology and CO₂ adsorption properties was studied. The properties of materials produced at pressureless (atmospheric) conditions were compared with those synthesized under higher pressures. The results of this work show that enhanced pressure treatment is not necessary to produce high-quality carbon spheres, and the morphology and porosity of the spheres produced without an activation step at pressureless conditions are not significantly different from those obtained at higher pressures. In addition, CO₂ uptake was not affected by elevated pressure synthesis. It was also demonstrated that addition of the activator (potassium oxalate) had much more effect on key properties than the applied pressure treatment. The use of potassium oxalate as an activator caused non-uniform size distribution of spherical particles. Simultaneously higher values of surface area and total pore volumes were reached. A pressure treatment of the carbon materials in the autoclave significantly enhanced the CO₂ uptake at 25 °C, but had no effect on it at 0 °C.     

CO2 Sorbents Based on Spherical Carbon and Photoactive Metal Oxides: Insight into Adsorption Capacity,Selectivity and Regenerability

This work aimed to obtain hybrid composites based on photoactive metal oxide and carbon having adsorption properties. The materials, composed of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide and spherical carbon, were obtained from resorcinol-formaldehyde resin, treated in a solvothermal reactor heated with microwaves and then subjected to carbonization, were received. The functional groups of pure carbon spheres (unsaturated stretching C=C, stretching C−OH and C−H bending vibrations), CS/ZnO and CS/TiO₂ samples were determined by FT-IR analysis. The characteristic bands for ZnO and TiO₂ were observed below 1000 cm⁻¹. The thermal oxidative properties are similar for TiO₂- and ZnO-modified carbon spheres. We have observed that the increased carbon sphere content in nanocomposites results in starting the decomposition process at a lower temperature, therefore, nanocomposites have a broader combustion temperature range. The effect of the oxides’ addition to carbon spheres on their adsorption properties was evaluated in detail by examining CO₂ adsorption from the gas phase. The selectivity of CO₂ over N₂ at a temperature of 25 °C and pressure of 1 bar (a novelty in testing CS-based sorbents) calculated for 3.00 CS/TiO₂ and 4.00 CS/ZnO was 15.09 and 16.95, respectively. These nanocomposites exhibit excellent cyclic stability checked over 10 consecutive adsorption–desorption cycles.

Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide on Activated Carbon

The adsorption of CO2 on a raw activated carbon A and three modified activated carbon samples B, C, and D at temperatures ranging from 303 to 333 K and the thermodynamics of adsorption have been investigated using a vacuum adsorption apparatus in order to obtain more information about the effect of CO2 on removal of organic sulfur-containing compounds in industrial gases. The active ingredients impregnated in the carbon samples show significant influence on the adsorption for CO2 and its volumes adsorbed on modified carbon samples B, C, and D are all larger than that on the raw carbon sample A. On the other hand, the physical parameters such as surface area, pore volume, and micropore volume of carbon samples show no influence on the adsorbed amount of CO2. The Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) equation was the best model for fitting the adsorption data on carbon samples A and B, while the Preundlich equation was the best fit for the adsorption on carbon samples C and D. The isosteric heats of adsorption on carbon samples A, B, C, and D derived from the adsorption isotherms using the Clapeyron equation decreased slightly increasing surface loading. The heat of adsorption lay between 10.5 and 28.4 kJ/mol, with the carbon sample D having the highest value at all surface coverages that were studied. The observed entropy change associated with the adsorption for the carbon samples A, B, and C (above the surface coverage of 7 ml/g) was lower than the theoretical value for mobile adsorption. However, it was higher than the theoretical value for mobile adsorption but lower than the theoretical value for localized adsorption for carbon sample D.

Supercapacitive Swing Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide

An electrical effect, the supercapacitive swing adsorption (SSA) effect is reported, which allows for reversible adsorption and desorption of carbon dioxide by capacitive charge and discharge of electrically conducting porous carbon materials. The SSA effect can be observed when an electrically conducting, nanoporous carbon material is brought into contact with carbon dioxide gas and an aqueous electrolyte. Charging the supercapacitor electrodes initiates the spontaneous organization of electrolyte ions into an electric double layer at the surface of each porous electrode. The presence of this double layer leads to reversible, selective uptake and release of the CO₂ as the supercapacitor is charged and discharged.

Adsorption of CO2 and H2 on Nitrogen-doped Porous Carbon from Ionic Liquid Precursor

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon material was prepared via a simple one-step thermolysis method via the carbonization of ionic liquid, 1-cyanomethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([MCNIm]⁺[Nf₂T]^-). The nanostructure of the resultant carbon material was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and the types of N-containing groups of the carbon material were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The N-content of the carbon material is 18.6%(mass fraction) based on the elemental analysis. The produced mesoporous carbon material was further used as the solid sorbent for H₂ and CO₂. The hydrogen uptake capacity and H₂ isosteric heat of the carbon material were discussed. Furthermore, the nitrogen-containing carbon material as good sorbent shows relatively high adsorption and separation ability for CO₂ from CH₄, for which the heat of CO₂ adsorption(Q_st) is 31.8 kJ/mol. The mesoporous structure and nitrogen functionality make the carbon material with high adsorption capacity and selectivity for CO₂ and ability to store H₂, indicating that this kind of nitrogen-doped carbon material originated from ionic liquids is a promising sorbent material for high-performance separation and adsorption.     

Al2O3 Effect on the Catalytic Activity of Cu-ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 Catalysts for Dimethyl Ether Synthesis from CO2 Hydrogenation

The effect of Al2O3 on the Cu-ZnO-Al2O3-SiO2 catalysts prepared by a pseudo sol-gel method has been investigated and these catalysts were characterized by XRD, H2-TPR, XPS, NH3-TPD and CO2- TPD techniques. As revealed by XRD and H2-TPR, the added alumina produces high dispersion of CuO and makes the reduction of CuO difficult. XPS analysis detects a remarkably high Al^3＋ enrichment at the surface of calcined samples, along with a decrease of Eb of Cu 2p3/2, which confirms the Cu-Al interaction. Another important role of Al203 would be to incorporate into the SiO2 structure to form the acid-base sites for ether formation. The reaction results shows that the addition of Al2O3 exhibits a promoting effect on the CO2 conversion only when its content is below 1.4%, and an optimal DME selectivity is obtained when 4.0%Al2O3 is added, indicating a better ＇synergistic effect＇ is present between the methanol forming component and the acidic component in bifunctional catalysts. Possible relationship between the catalytic activity and the Cu-Al interaction as well as the surface acidity is discussed.     

Carbon Dioxide/Methane Separation by Adsorption on Sepiolite

In this work,the use of sepiolite for the removal of carbon dioxide from a carbon diox- ide/methane mixture by a pressure swing adsorption(PSA)process has been researched.Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics have been measured in a fixed-bed,and the adsorption equilibrium parameters of carbon dioxide and methane on sepiolite have been obtained.A model based on the LDF approxima- tion has been employed to simulate the fixed-bed kinetics,using the Langmuir equation to describe the adsorption equilibrium isotherm.The functioning of a PSA cycle for separating carbon dioxide/methane mixtures using sepiolite as adsorbent has also been studied.The experimental results were compared with the ones predicted by the model adapted to a PSA system.Methane with purity higher than 97% can be obtained from feeds containing carbon dioxide with concentrations ranging from 34% to 56% with the proposed PSA cycle.These results suggest that sepiolite is an adsorbent with good properties for its employment in a PSA cycle for carbon dioxide removal from landfill gases.

Ligand Functionalization and Its Effect on CO2 Adsorption in Microporous Metal–Organic Frameworks

We report two new 3D structures, [Zn₃(bpdc)₃(2,2′‐dmbpy)] (DMF)_x(H₂O)_y ( 1 ) and [Zn₃(bpdc)₃(3,3′‐dmbpy)]?(DMF)₄(H₂O)_0.5 ( 2 ), by methyl functionalization of the pillar ligand in [Zn₃(bpdc)₃(bpy)] (DMF)₄?(H₂O) ( 3 ) (bpdc=biphenyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid; z,z′‐dmbpy=z,z′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridine; bpy=4,4′‐bipyridine). Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates that 2 is isostructural to 3 , and the power X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) study shows a very similar framework of 1 to 2 and 3 . Both 1 and 2 are 3D porous structures made of Zn₃(COO)₆ secondary building units (SBUs) and 2,2′‐ or 3,3′‐dmbpy as pillar ligand. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and PXRD studies reveal high thermal and water stability for both compounds. Gas‐adsorption studies show that the reduction of surface area and pore volume by introducing a methyl group to the bpy ligand leads to a decrease in H₂ uptake for both compounds. However, CO₂ adsorption experiments with 1′ (guest‐free 1 ) indicate significant enhancement in CO₂ uptake, whereas for 2′ (guest‐free 2 ) the adsorbed amount is decreased. These results suggest that there are two opposing and competitive effects brought on by methyl functionalization: the enhancement due to increased isosteric heats of CO₂ adsorption (Q_st), and the detraction due to the reduction of surface area and pore volume. For 1′ , the enhancement effect dominates, which leads to a significantly higher uptake of CO₂ than its parent compound 3′ (guest‐free 3 ). For 2′ , the detraction effect predominates, thereby resulting in reduced CO₂ uptake relative to its parent structure 3′ . IR and Raman spectroscopic studies also present evidence for strong interaction between CO₂ and methyl‐functionalized π moieties. Furthermore, all compounds exhibit high separation capability for CO₂ over other small gases including CH₄, CO, N₂, and O₂.

超临界CO2对尼龙66膜的改性

对于大多数聚合物而言,超临界CO2(SC CO2)是不良溶剂,但是它可以溶解许多小分子,对聚合物有很强的溶胀性。此外,在临界点附近,压力的微小改变能导致超临界流体的密度和溶剂化能力的巨大改变,因此,可以很方便地控制其对聚合物的溶胀度;其次在降压过程中无气．液共存,避免了毛细管力对基质的破坏,并且溶剂很容易与基质分离。
