In this research work, the three different VOCs such as acetone, dichloromethane and ethyl formate (with corresponding families like ketone, halogenated-organic, ester) are recovered by using temperature swing adsorption (TSA) process. The vapors of these selected VOCs are adsorbed on a microporous activated carbon. After adsorption step, they are regenerated under the same operating conditions...

By using first-principles calculations, we predict that a sizable band gap can be opened at the Dirac point of silicene without degrading silicene's electronic properties with n-type doping by Cu, Ag, and Au adsorption, p-type doping by Ir adsorption, and neutral doping by Pt adsorption. A silicene p-i-n tunneling field effect transistor (TFET) model is designed by the adsorption of different t...

We present experimentally measured adsorption isotherms of CO2, H2, and N2 on a phenol-formaldehyde resin-based activated carbon, which had been previously synthesized for the separation of CO2 in a precombustion capture process. The single component adsorption isotherms were measured in a magnetic suspension balance at three different temperatures (298, 318, and 338 K) and over a large range o...

copper trimesate (cu-btc) mof has been pointed out as a promising adsorbent for separating carbon dioxide from methane. however, mof’s need to be shaped prior to their use in packed bed adsorbers in order to reduce pressure drop; on the other hand, the production of mechanically resistant shaped bodies reduces their adsorption performance. in this work, cu-btc tablets provided by basf are evalu...

Infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRAS) has been used to study the adsorption of carbon monoxide on a Pd(ll1) surface. IRAS spectra were collected at temperatures from 100 to 1000 K and at pressures from 1.0 x lo-’ to 10.0 Torr. The IRAS data at temperatures > 250 K showed the coverage versus temperature behavior anticipated from the data acquired under UHV conditions. However, at te...

We discuss the thermodynamics of physical adsorption of gases in porous solids. The measurement of the amount of gas adsorbed in a solid requires specialized volumetric and gravimetric techniques based upon the concept of the surface excess. Excess adsorption isotherms provide thermodynamic information about the gas-solid system but are difficult to interpret at high pressure because of peculia...
