Highly-ordered Metal-modified Mesoporous Carbon Nitride: As a Novel Hydrogen Adsorbent

Development of hydrogen-fueled vehicles can bring economic and environmental benefits through decreased use of oil, and, consequently, a decrease in air pollution and other greenhouse gases.1 However, one of the most important drawbacks of the use of hydrogen as a fuel is that it has to be stored. There are different techniques to store hydrogen. All those techniques have to meet the provisiona...

Naphthalene Removal From Water by Novel Mesoporous Carbon Nitride Adsorbent

Polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons are chemical species with two to six fused benzene rings and are well-known toxic hazardous pollutants and highly potent carcinogens that can cause tumors in some organisms.1 In recent years, naphthalene contamination in water systems has drawn increasing attention. Naphthalene originates from natural and anthropogenic sources. Anthropogenic sources include eng...

The structure and morpho...

Synthesis of Ethylenediamine-modified Ordered Mesoporous Carbon as a New Nanoporous Adsorbent for Removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) Ions from Aqueous Media

The mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) functionalized with ethylenediamine (EDA) has been synthesized (CMK-3-EDA) and applied as a new mesoporous adsorbent for removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) cations from aqueous solutions. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements (BET) show that surface area, pore size and pore volume of CMK-3 were significantly changed after amine modification. The BET surface area an...
