Adsorption of carbon dioxide by coconut activated carbon modified with Cu/Ce

A series of the coconut activated carbons (CAC) based absorbents modified with Cu and Ce (Cu/CAC, Cu/Ce/CAC) were prepared by impregnation technology for carbon dioxide capture. The adsocrption equilibriums of CO₂ on Cu/CAC and Cu/Ce/CAC were measured. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of CO₂ onto the activated carbon modified with Cu/Ce increased with the decreasing temperature in the same pressure. The adsorption capacity of CO₂ on Cu/CAC was higher than that of the blank CAC, and compared with the Cu/CAC, the adsorption capacity of CO₂ of Cu/Ce/CAC with the mass ratio of Cu/Ce=30 was improved at 298 and 303 K. In addition, the adsorption equilibrium data for CO₂ at various temperatures was fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich and D-R isotherm models. It was found that the D-R equation was the best model for fitting the adsorption data on Cu/Ce/CAC at different temperatures.     

Effect of Fe/Cu/Ce loading on the coal-based activated carbons for hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide

Fe/Cu/Ce modified coal-based activated carbon(AC) was prepared by the sol-gel method,and the effect of Fe/Cu/Ce on catalytic properties of Fe/AC,Fe-Cu/AC and Fe-Cu-Ce/AC was investigated in the hydrolysis of carbonyl sulfide(COS) at 50 °C.Their surface properties were evaluated by means of nitrogen adsorption and were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffracto-metry(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The catalytic activities results showed that addition of Cu and Ce could enhance the activities of COS hydrolysis and Fe-Cu-Ce/AC with n(Fe):n(Ce)=20 exhibited a higher stability.The XRD and XPS results revealed that Cu loading controlled the crystalline phases and Ce could affect the crystalline phase of Fe2O3 and change the products formation and content of SO42-.     

Effect of rare earth addition on Cu-Fe/AC adsorbents for phosphine adsorption from yellow phosphorous tail gas

Phosphine(PH3) is a highly toxic air pollutant,commonly produced in phosphorous chemical industry.But it has received less research attention due to its handling difficultly.CO is the main content of the phosphorous chemical industry tail gas,the concentration of which is always more than 80 vol.%,and it can be the feed gas to produce various valuable products such as formate,oxalate,and methanol and so on.But,PH3 is one of the important barriers,which is harmful to the following chemical process.In order to make use of the tail gas,PH3 should be removed firstly,and CO should be covered in the whole purified procedure at the same time.In this work,the modified activated carbon(MAC) was used as the adsorbent to separate PH3 from the mixture tail gas.Series of MAC adsorbents were prepared for the adsorption of PH3,which loaded Cu-Fe and Ce(La),or separately.The PH3 adsorption capacities,chemical and physical properties of MAC were all investigated.The results showed that over 99% PH3 adsorption efficiency was achieved when used MAC adsorbents.The removal efficiency and PH3 adsorption capacity of the Cu-Fe-Ce/AC(20:1:0.4) were both much higher than those modified activated carbons.The maximum PH3 adsorption capacity was 71 mg of PH3/g of MAC on the Cu-Fe-Ce/AC,which were much higher than literature data using CuO only for adsorbing hydride gases.

Effect of rare earth addition on Cu-Fe/AC adsorbents for phosphine adsorption from yellow phosphorous tail gas

Phosphine (PH₃) is a highly toxic air pollutant, commonly produced in phosphorous chemical industry. But it has received less research attention due to its handling difficultly. CO is the main content of the phosphorous chemical industry tail gas, the concentration of which is always more than 80 vol.%, and it can be the feed gas to produce various valuable products such as formate, oxalate, and methanol and so on. But, PH₃ is one of the important barriers, which is harmful to the following chemical process. In order to make use of the tail gas, PH₃ should be removed firstly, and CO should be covered in the whole purified procedure at the same time.

The removal efficiency and PH₃ adsorption capacity of the Cu-Fe-Ce/AC (20:1:0.4) were both much higher than those modified activated carbons. The maximum PH₃ adsorption capacity was 71 mg of PH₃/g of MAC on the Cu-Fe-Ce/AC, which were much higher than literature data using CuO only for adsorbing hydride gases.

Glycine functionalized activated carbon derived from navel orange peel for enhancement recovery of Gd(Ⅲ)

Glycine functionalized activated carbon adsorption material (NOPAC-GLY-X) was successfully prepared by one-step thermal decomposition using agricultural waste navel orange peel as a precursor. Through batch adsorption experiments, it is found that the adsorption performance of Gd(III) on activated carbon can be significantly enhanced by glycine modification. The adsorption isotherms of the NOPACs conform to the Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the activated carbon sample NOPAC-Gly-60 is approximately 48.5 mg/g. The Gd(III) adsorption capacity of navel orange peel activated carbon can be doubled after glycine modification, and the adsorption efficiency of gadolinium can reach 99% at pH = 7. The physicochemical properties of the prepared adsorbents were characterized by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (EA), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The characterization test shows that the specific surface area of the sample increases from 1121 to 1523 m²/g, and the ratio of (N + O)/C increases from 10.8% to 30.0% by the glycine modification. After five cycles of adsorption–desorption, the adsorption capacity can still be maintained at 88% of the initial capacity. NOPAC-GLY-60 has excellent adsorption selectivity for Gd(III). With the obvious advantages of simple synthesis steps and low cost, the activated carbon modification method adopted in this study has great application value in the field of rare earth adsorption and recovery.

Glow-discharge-modified activated carbon cloths as skin substitutes

In this study, activated carbon cloths (ACCs) were modified in a glow-discharge apparatus by using 2-hydroxyethyl-methacrylate (HEMA), dimethyl-aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA), and hydroxymethyldisiloxane (HMDS) plasmas. Scanning electron micrographs exhibited the formation of the polymeric films on the ACCs after glow-discharge modification. The adsorption experiments were performed using model solutes, i.e., creatinine, vitamin B-12, and trypsin. No significant change was observed in the adsorption capacities of the ACC/PHEMA and ACC/PDMAEMA composites compared with the original ACC adsorption capacity. However, there was a pronounced decrease in the case of the ACC/PHMDS. Oxygen permeabilities of both the original and modified ACCs were measured in a flow-through gas chamber. The oxygen permeabilities of the original and modified forms were 817 and 3.5-5 cm3/s.cm2.cm Hg x 10(-7), respectively. Water-vapor permeabilities of the composites were obtained by using a standard water-cup assembly. Permeabilities varying between 921 and 10,300 g/m2.day were found. Microorganism impermeabilities of the ACCs were demonstrated by using model PS monosize polymeric particles with a diameter of 0.2 micron. The particle permeability of the original ACC was 65.6 mg/m2.day. Almost no particle permission was observed through the modified ACCs.

Modeling the Temperature Dependence of Adsorption Equilibriums of VOC(s) onto Activated Carbons

In order to optimize the efficiency of the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by adsorption onto activated carbon beds, process simulations taking into account exothermicity effects are helpful. Significant temperature increases may arise in the bed during the VOC adsorption cycle, especially when high concentrations have to be treated. Consequently, reliable and easy-to-handle isotherms remain a key hurdle to build realistic models. In this study, adsorption models were tested to describe a set of experimental data obtained for three VOCs (acetone, ethyl formate, and dichloromethane) adsorbed onto five commercial activated carbons at four different temperatures (20, 40, 60, and 80°C). A new expression of the Freundlich equation [qe = (a1T+a2T2)Ce(1/nf)] was shown to be statistically the most efficient to describe the adsorption isotherms of VOCs, single or in mixtures. A second-order polynomial temperature-dependence was introduced in this expression. The so-adapted Freundlich relationship gave a mean coefficient of determination of 0.97 for single-component adsorption and a correlation coefficient of 0.98 for binary mixtures.

Carbochlorination kinetics of titanium dioxide with carbon and carbon monoxide as reductant

Kinetic study of the chlorination of titanium dioxide (rutile and anatase) was carried out in a fixedbed reactor at temperature ranging from 800 °C to 1000 °C and normal pressure. In our experiment, titanium dioxide powder and gaseous chlorine with carbon or carbon monoxide as reductant were used. The products of the reaction are all in gaseous phase under the temperatures and pressure studied. With CO as reductant, reaction is of noncatalytic gas-solid nature and experimental data fit the shrinking core model. When using C as reductant, solid-solid reaction is involved. Reactivity is highly enhanced by solid carbon and it is concluded that an activated C-TiO₂-Cl complex contributes to the enhanced reactivity. A reaction model based on phase boundary control applies to the experimental data. Thermodynamic analysis supports the experimental observation.     

Adsorption on Carbon and Zeolite of Pollutants from Flue Gas during Incineration

The volatile organic compound, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, dioxin, and metallic components released from incineration threaten human health. These pollutants, appearing in a molecular state, cannot be effectively removed by baghouse and electrostatic precipitators through capture and filtration mechanisms. Previous studies indicate that activated carbon is conventionally used to remove organic compounds from gas at low temperatures (less than 30°C). However, the adsorption characteristics of organic compounds from a gas phase at high temperatures (over 120°C) are seldom mentioned. Moreover, the complex compositions of flue gas cause the adsorption characteristics of organic compounds and heavy metals on adsorbent tubes to be more complicated. This research examines the adsorption characteristics of organic compounds and heavy metals at various incineration conditions. The evaluated parameters include: (1) the operating temperatures; (2) the characteristics of adsorbents (activated carbon and zeolite); and (3) waste compositions and the presence of heavy metals. The results indicate that activated carbon has a high adsorption capacity compared with zeolite.     

Effect of zinc and cerium addition on property of copper-based adsorbents for phosphine adsorption

Therefore it enhanced the PH3 adsorption capacity. Appropriate amoun...     

Adsorption of Negatively Charged Azo Dyes onto Surfactant-Modified Sepiolite

The adsorption of reactive dyes on sepiolite has been investigated in a series of batch adsorption experiments. Three reactive dyes (Everzol Black B, Everzol Red 3BS, Everzol Yellow 3RS H/C) were used in bottle adsorption studies. While no significant adsorption capacity was obtained for natural sepiolite, high-adsorptive capacities were observed upon using sepiolite modified with quaternary amines. The electrokinetic measurements along with calculations using the cross-sectional area reveal that the quaternary amines adsorb close to bilayer coverage. A mechanism involving electrostatic attraction of the anionic groups of dye molecules onto oppositely charged amine-modified sepiolite surface is proposed to be responsible for the uptake of dyes. The adsorption data were fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. It is found that the modified sepiolite yields adsorption capacities (qe) of 169, 120, and 108 mg/g for Yellow, Black, and Red, respectively. These results are comparable to the adsorption capacity of the same dyes onto activated carbon.

Effect of preadsorbed background organic matter on granular activated carbon adsorption of atrazine

This study examines the effect of preadsorbed background organic matter (measured as dissolved organic carbon, DOC) on the granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption of atrazine. Thirty-four experiments were conducted in batch contactors using organic-free laboratory water (< 0.1 mg/l DOC) and pilot-column GAC, preloaded with DOC for 3-20 weeks (equivalent to 4.3-32 mg DOC/g GAC). Freundlich isotherms were determined for adsorption of atrazine at initial concentrations from 10 to 1000 micrograms/l. The isotherm data indicate that GAC capacities for atrazine are only moderately reduced by preadsorbed DOC. At an initial concentration of 1000 micrograms/l atrazine, the GAC capacity for atrazine decreases by -1.0 mg atz/mg preadsorbed DOC. At an initial concentration of 10 micrograms/l atrazine, the GAC capacity for atrazine decreases by only -0.40 mg atz/mg preadsorbed DOC. For the pilot-column GAC preloaded with a maximum of 32 mg DOC/g GAC, the decrease in capacity for atrazine averages -33 +/- 13%.
