THERMODYNAMIC STUDY ON ADSORPTION OF AROMATIC SULFONIC ACIDS ONTO MACROPOROUS WEAK BASE ANION EXCHANGER FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS

 The adsorption equilibrium isotherms of three aromatic sulfonic acid compounds, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid and p-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, from aqueous solutions by macroporous weak base anion exchanger within the temperature range of 293 K-313 K were obtained. Several isotherm equations were correlated with the equilibrium data, and the experimental data was found to fit the three-parameter Redlich-Peterson equation best within the entire range of concentrations. The study showed that the hydrophobicity of solute has distinct influence on adsorption capacity of the anion exchanger for the aromatic sulfonic acid. Moreover, estimations of the isosteric enthalpy, free energy,and entropy change of adsorption were also reported. The positive isosteric enthalpy and entropy change for adsorption indicate an endothermic and entropy driven process in the present study.

Adsorption of Zinc and Cyanide from Cyanide Effluents on Anionic Ion-exchange Resin

The adsorption of zinc and cyanide from cyanide effluents onto strong and weak basic anion exchange resins was studied in a batch adsorption system. Factors influencing the adsorption rates such as resin selection, resin amounts, contact time and temperature were studied and scanning electron microscopy-energy disperse spectroscopy(SEM-EDS) was used in the analysis. The present study shows that the adsorption capacity of resin 201×7 is better than that of resin 301. The adsorption process was relatively fast and came to equilibrium after 60 min. The kinetic data were analyzed with three models and the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was found to agree with the experimental data well. The equilibrium data could also be described well by Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy change(ΔH⁰), free energy change(ΔG⁰) and entropy change(ΔS⁰) were calculated and the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic.     

Thermodynamics of krypton adsorption on microporous carbon adsorbent at high pressures

The behavior of the thermodynamic functions for the adsorption system krypton—microporous carbon sorbent ACC is described. The dependences of the differential molar isosteric heat of adsorption, entropy, enthalpy, heat capacity, and differential molar energy of the adsorption system on the adsorption equilibrium parameters were studied over the temperature range from 178 to 393 K and at pressures ranging from 1 to 6?106 Pa. Consideration of the non-ideality of gas phase and non-inertness of the adsorbent leads to a temperature dependence of the thermodynamic functions of the studied adsorption system, especially in the range of high pressures of the adsorptive. The non-ideality of the gas phase and the energetics of the adsorbent—adsorbate system exert the most significant effect on the thermodynamic functions. The non-inertness of the adsorbent in the investigated range of parameters of the adsorption system has a weak effect on the thermodynamic functions of adsorption. In the region of high filling of ACC micropores, the entropy increases, indicating the existence of processes, which change the structure of the adsorbate in the micropores, in particular, to form associates.     

An Analysis of the Interactions of BSA with an Anion-Exchange Surface Under Linear and Non-Linear Conditions

The interactions of BSA with an anion-exchange adsorbent have been studied to aid in the understanding of protein adsorption in ion-exchange chromatography. Linear chromatography, flow microcalorimetry and isotherm measurements were used to analyze adsorption energetics in the linear and overloaded regions of the equilibrium isotherm. The effects of salt type, salt and protein concentration, and temperature are reported. It was observed that under all conditions studied the adsorption process was entropically driven. This was contrary to expectations, since at the pH selected ion exchange is expected to dominate. A major driving force for the adsorption of BSA on the anion exchanger was concluded to be the increase in entropy from the release of water due to interactions between hydrophobic regions on the protein and adsorbent. The data further suggest that the conformational entropy change accompanying protein adsorption on the ion exchanger may also be significant.     

Use of oxide minerals to abate fluoride from water

The removal of fluoride from aqueous solutions has been investigated using various oxide ores such as refractory grade bauxite, feed bauxite, manganese ore, and hydrated oxides of manganese ores (WAD). The refractory grade bauxite showed promising results. The studies were carried out as functions of contact time, pH, concentration of adsorbents, concentration of adsorbate, and temperature. The adsorption was rapid during the initial 5 min but equilibrium was attained within 120 min. The adsorption followed first-order kinetics. The present system followed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Various thermodynamic parameters such as free energy, enthalpy, entropy, and equilibrium constants were calculated. The isosteric heat calculations showed that the adsorption process followed a heterogeneous model.     

Adsorption of Basic Magenta II onto H2SO4 activated immature Gossypium hirsutum seeds: Kinetics,isotherms, mass transfer,thermodynamics and process design

The adsorption of Basic Magenta II onto H₂SO₄ activated immature Gossypium hirsutum seeds was analysed using Ho, modified Freundlich, Sobkowsk–Czerwi, Blanchard, Elovich, Avrami, and modified Ritchie kinetic models by nonlinear regression-sum of normalized errors analysis. The goodness of fit was evaluated with coefficient of determination and root mean square error. The good agreement of experimental data to Avrami second-order model indicated that the mechanism of adsorption followed multiple kinetic orders. The Avrami second-order mechanism was applied to predict the rate constant of sorption and the equilibrium capacity and subsequently the obtained equilibrium adsorption capacities were utilized to find the equilibrium concentrations. Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Sips and Hill isotherms were investigated to understand the nature of adsorption with the help of nonlinear regression analysis. Both Sips and Hill isotherms were best fit to the adsorption equilibrium data showing the homogeneous adsorption on the heterogeneous surface of carbon and the positive co-operative manifestations of the Basic Magenta II molecules. The mass transfer study depicted the details such as mass transfer coefficient, intra-particle diffusion rate, pore diffusion coefficient, and film diffusion coefficient. The adsorption process was found to be controlled by film diffusion. The thermodynamic parameters like, Gibbs free energy change, enthalpy change, entropy change and isosteric heat of adsorption confirmed the endothermic, feasible and spontaneous nature of adsorption. A single stage batch adsorber was designed using Sips isotherm constants to estimate the amount of carbon required for desired purification.     

THERMODYNAMICS ADSORPTION OF MANGANESE ION ON 1-（2-PYRIDYLAZO）-2-NAPHTHOL-6-SULPHONIC ACID IMPREGNATED RESIN

An ion-exchange resin of type 201×7 was impregnated with the reagent 1-（2-Pyridylazo）-2-naphthol-6-sulphonic Acid （PAN-S）. The adsorption characteristics of PAN-S resin for manganese ion were studied on the static equilibrium adsorption. Within temperature range of 288K-313K and the concentration range investigated, equilibrium data for the adsorption of manganese ions from aqueous solutions by PAN-S resin were obtained and correlated with Freundlich and Langmuir equation. The results showed that the process of the adsorption of manganese ions from aqueous solution by PAN-S was an exothermic process. Estimations of the isothermic enthalpy change of adsorption, free energy change and entropy of adsorption are reported, and the adsorption behaviors are reasonably interpreted.     

Studies on Thermodynamic Properties of Adsorption of Theophylline by Phenolic Resin Adsorbents

In the present work, the equilibrium adsorption of theophylline was studied by phenolic resin adsor-bents: JDW-2 (made by ourselves) and Duolite S-761 within a temperature range of 303--323 K. The experi-mental results show that the Freundlich adsorption law is applicable to the adsorption of theophylline on thetwo adsorbents, the exponents n＞l indicate that they are favorable to the adsorptions; the negative values ofall the isosteric adsorption enthalpies for the theophylline indicate the exothermic process of the adsorption,while the range(10—40 kJ/mol) of their magnitudes manifests the physisorption process; other thermody-namic properties, the free energy changes and the entropy change associated with adsorption have been calcu-lated from the Gibbs adsorption equation and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.     

Thermodynamics of methane adsorption on the microporous carbon adsorbent ACC

The behavior of the thermodynamic functions (differential molar isosteric heat of adsorption, entropy, enthalpy, and heat capacity) of the adsorption system methane—microporous carbon adsorbent ACC was analyzed at different adsorption equilibrium parameters in the temperature interval from 177.65 to 393 K and in the pressure range from 1 Pa to 6 MPa. The influence of the nonideal character of the gas phase and noninertness of the adsorbent were taken into account, which resulted in the appearance of the temperature dependence of the isosteric heat of adsorption, especially in the region of high pressures of the adsorptive. For the system studied, nonideality of the gas phase exerts the main effect on the thermodynamic functions of the adsorption system. In this interval of the parameters of the adsorption system, the correction to the noninertness of the adsorbent is not higher than 2.5%. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The thermodynamic properties of n-hexane adsorption on MgO(100) were determined using high-resolution volumetric adsorption isotherms in the temperature range 195-255 K. Two distinct layering transitions are observed in the isotherms. The isotherms are used to calculate the two-dimensional compressibility, the differential enthalpy and entropy, the heat of adsorption, and the isosteric heat of adsorption. Neutron Diffraction is used to identify where melting of the n-hexane monolayer takes place.     

Development of equations for differential and integral enthalpy change of adsorption for simulation studies

We present equations to calculate the differential and integral enthalpy changes of adsorption for their use in Monte Carlo simulation. Adsorption of a system of N molecules, subject to an external potential energy, is viewed as one of transferring these molecules from a reference gas phase (state 1) to the adsorption system (state 2) at the same temperature and equilibrium pressure (same chemical potential). The excess amount adsorbed is the difference between N and the hypothetical amount of gas occupying the accessible volume of the system at the same density as the reference gas. The enthalpy change is a state function, which is defined as the difference between the enthalpies of state 2 and state 1, and the isosteric heat is defined as the negative of the derivative of this enthalpy change with respect to the excess amount of adsorption. It is suitable to determine how the system behaves for a differential increment in the excess phase adsorbed under subcritical conditions. For supercritical conditions, use of the integral enthalpy of adsorption per particle is recommended since the isosteric heat becomes infinite at the maximum excess concentration. With these unambiguous definitions we derive equations which are applicable for a general case of adsorption and demonstrate how they can be used in a Monte Carlo simulation. We apply the new equations to argon adsorption at various temperatures on a graphite surface to illustrate the need to use the correct equation to describe isosteric heat of adsorption.
