AIChE Letter: Separations: Materials, Devices and Processes Graphene and Other Carbon Sorbents for Selective Adsorption of Thiophene from Liquid Fuel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four types of carbons (activated carbon, Maxsorb superactivated carbon, mesoporous templated carbon CMK-3, and graphene) were investigated as selective sorbents for adsorption of thiophene from its solution in n-octane. Graphene showed clearly the highest sulfur capacity. The relative sulfur capacities correlated well with the relative heats of adsorption. The carbene-type zigzag edge sites and the carbyne-type armchair edge sites on graphene are among the possible sites for strong interactions with thiophene.

A Thermodynamic Investigation of Adsorbate- Adsorbate Interactions of Carbon Dioxide on Nanostructured Carbons
A thermodynamic study of carbon dioxide adsorption on a zeolite-templated carbon (ZTC), a superactivated carbon (MSC-30) and an activated carbon (CNS-201) was carried out at temperatures from 241 to 478 K and pressures up to 5.5 106 Pa. Excess adsorption isotherms were fitted with generalized Langmuir-type equations, allowing the isosteric heats of adsorption and adsorbed-phase heat capacities ...

Sample preparation is often the rate-limiting step in analytical methods and its effectiveness has a critical impact on accuracy, quantification and, ultimately, the precision of any measurement. Traditionally, liquid–liquid extraction methods are frequently used for the extraction of organic analytes from aqueous samples. To overcome some of the disadvantages of liquid–liquid extraction (e.g.,...
متن کاملUnique Hydrogen Adsorption Properties of Graphene
Graphene showed an unusually high hydrogen storage capacity as well as a unique, slow hydrogen adsorption process compared with a variety of carbon materials (carbon nanotubes, activated carbons, mesoporous carbons, templated carbons, and metal organic frameworks). Catalytic dissociation of hydrogen on graphene is observed for the first time. The hydrogen dissociation rate on graphene is also s...
