Carbon dioxide is the main undesirable compound present in raw natural gas and biogas. Physisorption based adsorption processes such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) are one of the solutions to selectively adsorb CO(2) from CH(4). Some hybrid crystalline porous materials that belong to the family of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) show larger CO(2) adsorption capacity compared to the usual in...

the objective of this work was to develop a new design of an intake manifold through a 1d simulation. it is quite familiar that a duly designed intake manifold is essential for the optimal performance of an internal combustion engine. air flow inside the intake manifold is one of the important factors, which governs the engine performance and emissions. hence the flow phenomenon inside the inta...

We have measured methane and carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms at 40 C on gas shale samples from the Barnett, Eagle Ford, Marcellus and Montney reservoirs. Carbon dioxide isotherms were included to assess its potential for preferential adsorption, with implications for its use as a fracturing fluid and/or storage in depleted shale reservoirs. To better understand how the individual mineral co...

background and objective : a considerable amount of sulfur hexafluoride is applied to evaluate the performance of each laboratory hood according to ashrae–110-95 method. sf 6 is extremely hostile to environment and expensive. in present work, the possibility of conducting this method of hood performance test with less volume of sf 6 was investigated. material and methods : the performance of a ...

Ammonia has been suggested as a carbon-free hydrogen source, but a convenient method for producing hydrogen from ammonia with rapid initiation has not been developed. Ideally, this method would require no external energy input. We demonstrate hydrogen production by exposing ammonia and O2 at room temperature to an acidic RuO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Because adsorption of ammonia onto the catalyst is ...

Hydrogen uptake was measured for platinum doped superactivated carbon at 296 K where hydrogen spillover was expected to occur. High pressure adsorption measurements using a Sieverts apparatus did not show an increase in gravimetric storage capacity over the unmodified superactivated carbon. Measurements of small samples (∼0.2 g) over long equilibration times, consistent with the reported proced...

Adsorption isotherms and specific retention volumes of benzene on MCM41C16 mesoporous silica and F4O porous carbon were determined at different temperatures by employing inverse gas chromatography. The differential isosteric enthalpies, -∆Hads , and entropies, -∆Sads , of adsorption were calculated from the retention time data and compared with the results obtained from the adsorption second vi...

volumetric techniques were employed to study the adsorption of co2 on a purified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (mwnt’s) sample, as a mesoporous material, at isothermal conditions of 288, 293 and 298 k and pressures ranging from 30 to 150 kpa. langmuir, freundlich and sips equations were used to represent the isotherms. also the parameters of these fitted isotherm models have been determined. the ...

fractional flow analysis confirms the advantages of surfactant alternative gas injection (sag) in enhanced oil recovery, but an adsorption phenomenon that has been affected by several factors, weakens the effectiveness of sag injection. in this study, the effects of sacrificial agent, gas phase, and surfactant concentration on adsorption density on silica mineral were investigated by static and...
