NITROGEN, WATER AND BENZENE ADSORPTION IN MESOPOROUS CARBON (CMK-1) AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVATED CARBON (NORIT SX22)

Ordered nanoporous carbon (CMK-3) coated fiber for solid-phase microextraction of benzene and chlorobenzenes in water samples

Nanoporous carbons (CMK-3) were prepared and have been used as a fiber coating for headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME). The prepared materials were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms. The efficiency of the fiber was evaluated using a gas chromatography (GC) system for the extraction of benzene (B) and c...

Mesoporous Activated Carbon Fibers from Lignocelullosic Materials: Adsorption Studies

High surface area and highly mesoporous activated carbon fibers (ACF) were obtained by physical activation of natural precursors (vetiver roots and bagasse) with steam and chemical activation using phosphoric acid. The textural characteristics of the activated were determined by nitrogen adsorption study and mercury porosimetry and showed that interesting porosity were obtained (SBET up to 1600...

Activated Carbon Adsorption

Study on diffusion coefficient of benzene and ethyl benzene vapours in nanoporous silica aerogel and silica aerogel-activated carbon composites

In this study, nanoporous silica aerogel and silica aerogel-activated carbon composites have been synthesized using a water glass precursor by cost effective ambient pressure drying method. Equilibrium and kinetics of benzene and ethyl benzene adsorption on silica aerogel and its composites have been measured in a batch mode at tree weights of adsorbent. For the first time, the experimental dat...

Nitrogen and carbon dioxide adsorption by soils.

High-resolution nitrogen (77 K) and carbon dioxide (273 K) adsorption at subatmospheric pressures has been studied for a range of model soils of various origins with different organic matter (OM) contents. It is demonstrated that N2 and CO2 molecules probe different regions of soil particles. Nitrogen is adsorbed primarily on the outer surface of soil particles, while CO2 has a higher affinity ...
