Adsorption Kinetics of Alcohols over MCM-41 Materials
نویسنده
چکیده
Adsorption of methanol and ethanol over mesoporous siliceous material are studied in the current paper. The pure mesoporous silica is prepared using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as silica source and dodecylamine as template at low pH. The prepared material was characterized using nitrogen adsorption,nX-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adsorption kinetics of methanol and ethanol from aqueous solution were studied over the prepared mesoporous silica material. The percent removal of alcohol was calculated per unit mass of adsorbent used. The 1 order model is found to be in agreement with both adsorbates while the 2 order model fit the adsorption of methanol only. Keywords—Adsorption, Kinetics, Mesoprous silica, Methanol

Desorption Kinetics and Mechanisms of CO2 on Amine-Based Mesoporous Silica Materials
Tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA)-based mesoporous MCM-41 is used as the adsorbent to determine the CO2 desorption kinetics of amine-modified materials after adsorption. The experimental data of CO2 desorption as a function of time are derived by zero-length column at different temperatures (35, 50, and 70 ◦C) and analyzed by Avrami’s fractional-order kinetic model. A new method is used to distingu...
متن کاملMicrowave-enhanced sulphated zirconia and SZ/MCM-41 catalyzed regioselective synthesis of beta-amino alcohols under solvent-free conditions.
A solvent-free approach for the regioselective synthesis of beta-amino alcohols in shorter reaction times and higher yields, compared to conventional heating is described. It involves microwave (MW) exposure of undiluted reactants in the presence of sulphated zirconia (SZ) or sulphated zirconia over MCM-41 (SZM) as catalyst. Both acid materials can be easily recovered and reused.

Mesoporous silica materials (MSMs) of the MCM-41 type were rapidly synthesized by microwave heating using silica fume as silica source and evaluated as adsorbents for the removal of Cu2+, Pb2+, and Cd2+ from aqueous solutions. The effects of microwave heating times on the pore structure of the resulting MSMs were investigated as well as the effects of different acids which were employed to adju...
