Enthalpy of adsorption for hydrocarbons on concrete by inverse gas chromatography

Enthalpies of adsorption, ΔH(a), are reported for several light hydrocarbons on normal construction concrete. ΔH(a), which are a measure of the adhesion strength of a molecule on a surface, were determined by gas-solid chromatography with a packed column containing 60-80 mesh concrete particles. With this approach, the specific retention volume for a compound is measured as a function of temperature, and these data are used to calculate ΔH(a). For the hydrocarbons studied, we found that ΔH(a) was relatively large for unsaturated hydrocarbons. These are the first determinations of ΔH(a) of hydrocarbons on construction concrete, but useful comparisons with other ionic solids such as clays can be made.

Use of inverse gas chromatography to determine thermodynamic parameters of aroma-starch interactions

A new instrumental setup for automated extraction of solid samples by online coupling of pressurized liquid extraction, automated SPE (solid-phase extraction) and HPLC is presented. From the extraction to the chromatogram no manual sample handling is required. The application to the determination of proanthocyanidins in malt reduces time and manual work to a minimum compared to former manual methods. Twenty samples can be processed within 24 h in respect to eight samples with the manual method. Using the features of the instrumental coupling, an optimized strategy for SPE of proanthocyanidins from natural samples was developed, requiring no evaporation step, using commercial cartridges and delivering concentrated eluates. The recovery of five main malt proanthocyanidins was 97%, with a reproducibility of 5%. This new instrumental coupling is thought to reduce time and costs along with improved results for a broad range of solid sample materials.     

Determination of the acid/base properties of MgY and NH4Y molecular sieves by inverse gas chromatography

The surface characterization of MgY and NH(4)Y zeolites was performed using inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The adsorption thermodynamic parameters (the standard enthalpy (DeltaH degrees ), standard entropy change (DeltaS degrees ), and free energy change of adsorption (DeltaG degrees ), the dispersive component of the surface free energies (gamma(S)(d)), and the acid-base character of the surface of MgY and NH(4)Y zeolites were estimated using the retention time of different non-polar and polar probes at infinite dilution region. The specific free energy of adsorption (DeltaG(sp)), the specific enthalpy of adsorption (DeltaH(sp)), and the specific entropy of adsorption (DeltaS(sp)) of polar probes on MgY and NH(4)Y zeolites were determined. The values of the DeltaH(sp) were correlated with both the donor and acceptor numbers of the probes to quantify the acidic K(A) and the basic K(D) parameters of the zeolite surfaces. The values obtained for the K(A) and K(D) parameters indicated a basic character for the surface of MgY and NH(4)Y zeolites.     

吸附分离正构烃结焦失活的无粘结剂5A分子筛氧化再生研究

在固定床吸附器上模拟无粘结剂5A分子筛的失活过程,并对失活分子筛进行氧化再生研究。结果表明,焦炭会堵塞部分分子筛孔道,导致失活分子筛的比表面积和孔容减小、平均孔径增加。焦炭含量增加,分子筛的失活度增加,但增加的速率逐渐减小。氧化反应温度由582K升至787K,焦炭脱除率由64%增至100%。失活分子筛于787K下氧化处理后,其上焦炭被完全脱除,分子筛的吸附活性完全恢复。氧化再生后分子筛的比表面积和孔容增加,但难以恢复至新鲜分子筛的水平。在685K~884K,实验得到的无粘结剂5A分子筛上焦炭的氧化脱除宏观动力学方程为：ln(C₀/C) = 0.013exp(-28122.1/T) (p_O2)0.32t。

Diffusion and adsorption measurements in porous solids by inverse gas chromatography

The new inverse gas chromatography methodology of reversed-flow gas chromatography has been applied to measure diffusion and adsorption in porous solids. The theoretical analysis leads to equations describing the experimental data with very few approximations. From these, the total overall rate constant of transference (k = k(R) + k(2)), its probable error, the diffusion coefficient (D(1)) into porous solids (alpha-alumina and gamma-alumina), and its probable error are calculated by means of a simple PC program. The methodology was applied to pentane, hexane, and heptane diffusing into porous alpha- and gamma-alumina at various temperatures. A comparison of the results is made with those obtained by the Knudsen formula and with those of other researchers.

Time separation of adsorption sites on heterogeneous surfaces by inverse gas chromatography

Summary The measurement of local (homogeneous) adsorption energiesε _i , local monolayer capacities,c _max ^* , local adsorption isotherms,θ _i (p, T, ε), and probability density functions for adsorption, f(ε) and ϕ(ε,t), can be used to study the mechanism of adsorption of five gaseous hydrocarbons on the heterogeneous surface of magnesium oxide. The method does not use analytical or numerical solutions of a classical integral equation comprisingf(ε) as unknown, but it depends on a time function of gas chromatographic peaks obtained by short flow-reversals of the carrier gas. The results for adsorption of ethane, ethylene, acetylene, propene, and l-butene on MgO, in the absence and presence of O₃ are given and discussed on the basis of a mechanism proposed earlier for argon on titatium dioxide.     

Investigation of thermodynamic properties of hyperbranched aliphatic polyesters by inverse gas chromatography

Thermodynamic properties of a series of commercial hyperbranched aliphatic polyesters (Boltorn^® H20, H30 and H40) were examined for the first time by inverse gas chromatography (IGC) using 13 different solvents at infinite dilution as probes. Retention data of probes were utilized for an extensive characterization of polymers, which includes the determination of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter, the weight fraction activity coefficient as well as the total and partial solubility parameters. Analysis of the results indicated that the total and partial solubility parameters decrease with increase of temperature. Furthermore, upon increase of the molecular weight, while the hydrogen bonding component decreases, no influence on the total solubility parameter is noticed within the experimental error margins. Results from the present study while providing new insight to the thermodynamic characteristics of the examined systems, they are also expected to reflect more general aspects of the behavior of hyperbranched polymers bearing similar end-groups.     

Separation of mixtures of permanent gases and light hydrocarbons on spherical carbon molecular sieves by gas-solid chromatography

Summary Experimental results are presented on the application of Carbosieve S (Supelco) and Spherocarb (Analabs) spherical carbon molecular sieves for the gas chromatographic separation of mixtures of permanent gases and C₁–C₃ hydrocarbons using a single column or two columns in series. At a programmed temperature of 35–300°C, good separation of the sample components was obtained when using helium as the carrier gas. When hydrogen was used as the carrier gas and the analysis was carried out under isothermal conditions the elution sequence of oxygen and nitrogen reversed as the temperature was increased. This behaviour was observed within a temperature range of 35–225°C for Carbosieve S, and within a temperature range of 35–300°C for Spherocarb.     

Characterization of surface thermodynamic properties of p-toluene sulfonate-doped polypyrrole by inverse gas chromatography

Summary p-Toluene sulfonate-doped polypyrrole (PPyTos) powder has been characterized by inverse gas chromatography at various temperatures. We have used apolar n-alkanes and polar probes of differing acidity and basicity to interrogate the London dispersive and Lewis acid-base properties of PPyTos, respectively. We have found that the London component of the surface energy (γs^d) is about 90 mJ · m⁻² at 25°C and the acid-base contribution to the free energy of adsorption (ΔG_a ^AB) for Lewis bases is higher than 8 kJ · mol⁻¹. These results show that PPyTos is a high energy material and is capable of very strong specific acid-base interactions. Lewis acidity is, however, dominant and is shown to increase with temperature. The determination of the heats of adsorption for tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate enabled us to determine Drago’s E_A, C_A, E_B and C_B parameters. Whilst E_A and C_A are similar to those published for chloride-doped polypyrrole and rank PPyTos as a hard acidic species, the E_B and C_B values suggest that PPyTos is a very soft Lewis base.     

Determination of the adsorption model of alkenes and alcohols on sulfonic copolymer by inverse gas chromatography

The determination of a number of adsorption sites on sulfonated styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer for alkenes (propene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, isobutene, 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2-methyl-1-pentene, 2-methyl-2-pentene and 2-methyl-2-hexene) and alcohols (methanol, ethanol and n-propanol, n-butanol, 2-butanol and tert-butanol) was performed by the saturation copolymer with vapors of adsorbate, by removing the excess of adsorbate from copolymer by blowing the inert gas through copolymer bed and by the desorption of adsorbed alcohol in the programmed increase of temperature. The adsorption measurements were performed on sulfonated ion-exchange resin (Amberlyst 15) with different concentrations of the acid group, which means with a varying number of adsorption sites. The following adsorption models for alkenes were suggested: the first in which one molecule of alkene is adsorbed by two sulfonic groups, for linear alcohols, the second in which one sulfonic group can adsorb one molecule of alcohol and for non-linear alcohols the third where one molecule of alcohol is adsorbed by two or more sulfonic groups.

Comparative study on the gas-phase adsorption of hexane over zeolites by calorimetry and inverse gas chromatography

The scope of this work is to carry out a systematic comparison of inverse gas chromatography (IGC) and microcalorimetry as tools for the study of the gas-phase adsorption of organic vapours (using hexane as model compound) on zeolitic materials (using different Mn, Co and Fe-exchanged NaX and CaA zeolites). Adsorption isotherms were recorded using both techniques in the temperature range of 150-250 degrees C, being observed that the shape of the isotherms obtained with the dynamic (IGC) and static (microcalorimetry) techniques was surprisingly similar in the pressure range at which both techniques are applicable (low surface coverages). Concerning to the measurement of the strength of the adsorption, calorimetric data provide two parameters related to the adsorption enthalpy: the initial differential heat and the isosteric adsorption enthalpy. A great coincidence was found between the last one and the adsorption enthalpy determined by IGC (4-20% of difference, depending on the studied material). The behaviour of the initial differential heat depends strongly on the studied material, being in some cases closely related to the other two parameters and temperature-independent (in the case on Mn-exchanged zeolites), whereas for the Co-CaA and Fe-CaA zeolites, it is temperature-dependent, being not correlated with the other parameters in this case. The main conclusion of this work is that IGC is an attractive alternative to the static microcalorimetric data for obtaining information on the adsorption of organic compounds on microporous materials.
