Copper has many applications, particularly in electro-catalysis, where the oxidation state of the copper electrode plays a significant role in the selectivity towards products. Although copper-based materials have clear potential as catalysts in the reduction of CO2 and conversion to products, fundamental understanding of CO2 adsorption and activation on different copper oxide surfaces is still...

mil-53-cu has been synthesized hydrothermally and has been used for the first time for gas separation. mil-53-cu shows adsorption capacities of 8.1, 0.7 and 0.5 m.mol/g, respectively, for ch4, co2 and h2 at 30 bar and 298 k. the high ch4 adsorption capacity of mil-53-cu maybe attributed to the high pore volume and large number of open metal sites. the high selectivity for ch4 over co2 (11.5) an...

Abstract: CO2 capture via adsorption process on porous materials (adsorbents) is a promising alternative due to its high selectivity and low energy penalties. We have investigated in-situ CO2 adsorption on solid adsorbents by combining Di...

Two series of carbon dioxide adsorbents were prepared from almond shells, by carbonisation followed either by activation with CO2 or by heat treatment in the presence of ammonia gas (amination). Both procedures gave carbons with high CO2 adsorption capacities in pure CO2 as well as in a binary mixture of 15 % CO2 in N2. Activation with carbon dioxide significantly developed porosity in the samp...

We studied different face velocity and carbon dioxide (CO2) initial concentration to examine the adsorption behavior of calcium oxide (CaO) impregnated activated carbon (AC) filter and also to discuss pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion three kinetic models. The experimental results show that saturation time and saturation capacity were decreased and increased w...

A new class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been synthesized by ligand-functionalization strategy. Systematic studies of their adsorption properties were performed at low and high pressure. Importantly, when fluorine was introduced into the framework via the functionalization, both the framework stabilities and adsorption capacities towards H2/CO2 were enhanced significantly. This conseq...

Homogeneous graphene-MOF composites based on a 2D pillared-bilayer MOF (Cd-PBM), {[Cd4(azpy)2(pyrdc)4(H2O)2]·9H2O}n (azpy = 4,4'-azopyridine, pyrdc = pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate), have been synthesized, using both graphene oxide (GO) and benzoic acid functionalized graphene (BFG). The composites GO@Cd-PBM and BFG@Cd-PBM demonstrate growth of the 2D nano-sheets of MOF on the graphene surface. Whi...

A good material for CO2 capture should possess some specific properties: (i) a large effective surface area with good adsorption capacity, (ii) selectivity for CO2, (iii) regeneration capacity with minimum energy input, allowing reutilization of the material for CO2 adsorption, and (iv) low cost and high environmental friendliness. Smectite clays are layered nanoporous materials that may be goo...

The interaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen with gold particles supported on zinc oxide, alumina, and titania was investigated by microcalorimetry. Multiple processes were detected during CO adsorption, including adsorption of CO on the gold particles and support, oxidation of CO, and formation of carbonates. The rate of O2 adsorption was much slower than that of CO adsorption. The heats and ...

We performed classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand the mechanism of adsorption from a gas mixture of CO2 and H2 (mole fraction of CO2 = 0.30) and diffusion along a graphite surface, with the aim to help enrich industrial off-gases in CO2, separating out H2. The temperature of the system in the simulation covered typical industrial conditions for off-gas treatment (250-550 ...
