The adsorption of CO(2) in Li-, Na-, and K-FER was investigated by a combination of volumetric adsorption experiments, FTIR spectroscopy, and density functional theory. Experimental isosteric heats of CO(2), Q(st), depend significantly on the cation size, cation concentration, and on the amount of adsorbed CO(2). The differences observed in experimentally determined isosteric heats were interpr...

High-pressure CO adsorption on Pd(111) was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) from 200 to 400 K, and in a pressure range from 10-6 to 1 mbar. Even in the millibar regime both methods indicated that CO adsorbed in “regular” adsorption sites such as hollow, bridge, and on-top. By combination of XPS and SFG, a quantitative analysis of ...

value for the enthalpy of adsorption of both CO and NO. A plausible explanation of the correlation observed is as follows. The standard entropy of adsorption is ascribable to the stretch of the cation-carbon (or cation-nitrogen) bond and to two bending modes of CO (or NO). The frequencies involved are usually (see, e.g., ref 19) assumed to parallel the strength of adsorption AaH. As a matter of...

Hydrothermally-synthesized titanate nanotubes (TNTs) are found to be excellent at adsorption of highly toxic thallium ions. Uptake of both thallium ions is very fast in the first 10 min. The adsorption isotherm of Tl(I) follows the Langmuir model with maximum adsorption capacity of 709.2 mg g(-1). Ion-exchange between Tl(+) and Na(+) in the interlayers of TNTs is the primary mechanism for Tl(I)...

Gas separation efficiencies of three zeolite membranes (Faujasite, MFI, and Chabazite) have been examined using the method of molecular dynamics. Our investigation has allowed us to study the effects of pore size and structure, state conditions, and compositions on the permeation of two binary gas mixtures, O(2)N(2) and CO(2)N(2). We have found that for the mixture components with similar sizes...

Adsorption of heavy metals by sawdust was investigated to evaluate the effectiveness of using sawdust to remove heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Kinetic and isotherm studies were carried out by considering the effects of initial concentration and pH. The adsorption isotherms of heavy metals fitted the Langmuir or Freundlich model reasonably well. The adsorption capacity of metal was in the ...

The reaction of CO has been investigated on the surfaces of UO2 111 single crystal. Over the stoichiometric surface CO does not adsorb at 300 K and no further reaction is noticed. Over UO2−x prepared by Ar+ bombardment , CO molecules adsorb and in presence of traces of H2 they couple to form acetylene molecules that desorb in two temperature domains during temperature programmed desorption TPD ...

The hollow CuO@SiO2 spheres with a mean diameter of 240 nm and a thin shell layer of about 30 nm in thickness was synthesized using an inorganic SiO2 shell coating on the surface of Cu@C composite that was prepared by a two-step hydrothermal method. The obtained hollow CuO@SiO2 spheres were characterized by ICP-AES, nitrogen adsorption-desorption, SEM, TEM, XRD, H2-TPR, CO-TPR, CO-TPD and NO-TP...

salicylic acid-formaldehyde-m-cresol (sfm) terpolymer had been synthesized in dmf media by conventional method. the resulting resin had been characterized by ftir spectra, elemental and thermogravimetric analyses. the morphology of sfm resin had been studied by sem and optical photograph. various parameters like rate of equilibration, effect of ph on ion exchange capacity and effect of concentr...

For important reactions such as oxidation and hydrogenation of carbon monoxide, transition metals are used as catalyst [l-3]. Both reactions seem to take place via a dissociation of CO prior to its reassociation with other adsorbed fragments. Depending on the reaction conditions, the dissociative adsorption of CO may become rate-determining [I] and is therefore of special interest. In a study p...
