چکیده

Physisorption-based hydrogen (H 2) storage in microporous carbons has a trade-off between adsorption capacity and adsorption enthalpy [5]. Conceptually, this problem is best illustrated in terms of the ideal slit pore formed from two parallel, semi-infinite graphite slabs. Packing density is maximized when the pore width is several times larger than the diameter of the H 2 molecule, since it permits the formation of several hydrogen monolayers within the pore [16]. At supercritical temperatures, however, condensation within pores does not occur. Characteristic H 2 adsorption enthalpies associated with large slit pores therefore approach the enthalpy of H 2 adsorption on carbon, typically measured between 4 kJ mol −1 to 6 kJ mol −1 [15, 121]. With smaller pores, the adsorption enthalpy increases due to the overlap of potentials fields from each face of the pore. The packing density begins to decrease, though, when the pore is no longer wide enough to accommodate two H 2 monolayers. Ab initio calculations of hydrogen adsorption in ideal slit pore carbons Portions of this chapter were published in the article:

Hydrogen Adsorption on Activated Carbon

The adsorption of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes and activated carbons has generated considerable interest in relation to hydrogen storage for fuel cells applications[1-3]. However, the widespread use of hydrogen as a fuel is limited by the lack of a convenient and cost-effective method of hydrogen storage. Adsorption of supercritical hydrogen is limited by the low interaction energy between hydr...

ADSORPTION OF p-NITROPHENOL IN THREE DIFFERENT ACTIVATED CARBONS AT DIFFERENT pH

Adsorption of p-Nitrophenol by three different activated carbons (F100, S.E.I. and B.D.H.) was carried out at 301 K and at controlled pH conditions. Two different adsorption models (Langmuir model and Freundlich model) were studied and compared. The adsorption capacity of the carbons depends on the Point of Zero Charge (PZC) and surface area of the carbons. Adsorption of the solute at higher pH...

Investigation of hydrogen sulfide adsorption in metallic scaffold MOF-5 nanocomposite based on activated carbon for the use of respiratory mask cartridge

Introduction: Hydrogen sulfide is one of the most important impurities in natural gas. Due to the fact that this gas is hazardous, toxic, corrosive and volatile, therefore, the removal of hydrogen sulfide has been studied using several methods. One of the most known procedures is the adsorption process. In the present study, activated carbon and activated carbon-based composite scaffolds (MOF-5...

Comparison of Adsorption Properties of Activated Carbons with Different Crops Residues as Precursors for Gold Cyanide Recovery: An Iranian Gold Industry Guide

Adsorption of gold cyanide on three types of Activated Carbons (ACs) has been investigated in batch and column adsorption conditions. Applied ACs have been derived from different crops precursors i.e., coconut shell (CAC), peach stone (PAC), and walnut shell (WAC). As peach stone and walnut shells are abundant agricultural residues in Iran, the activated carbons produced from these precurso...
