A carbon molecular sieve for the purification of a gas mixtures containing O2, N2 and CO2, CH4 was produced from a waste granulated PET by means of a single carbonisation step at 973 K. Activated carbon materials presenting good adsorption capacity and some selectivity for O2/N2 and CO2/CH4 were prepared from granulated PET and cork oak with pore mouth narrowing using CVD from benzene. The diffusion coefficients of O2, N2, CO2 and CH4 in these materials were calculated and are comparable to published values determined on Takeda 3A and on a carbon molecular sieve prepared from PET textile fibres by means of carbonisation and subsequent CVD with benzene. However, the selectivities were not quite as good as those given by Takeda 3A. However, taking into account that this is a first attempt at producing CMS from PET, the results are encouraging, and it is to be expected that further development of the experimental procedure will result in new materials with improved performance.

Abstract. In this study, four different nanostructures precursors, pistachio wood, walnuts wood, forest wood and coal (Anthracite) were selected to produce activated carbon. The experiments were done in industrial scale using a rotary furnace with temperature between 850 and 920 ºC for 45 minutes followed by steam. The product was grounded and divided in three particle sizes, 8x30, 30x50, and 60x80 meshes. The physical properties and surface chemistry of the activated carbon samples were determined by imaging of BET-N2 adsorption. The results obtained from measurements of iodine and methylene blue numbers, surface area, pore volume and comparison of surface area and pore volume, show that by decreasing of particle sizes of each sample, increase the surface area and micro pore volumes significantly. The magnitude of changes in surface area with particle size is a significant factor in defining the effectiveness and suitability of an activated carbon for the production of carbon molecular sieve. Our results indicate that the highest pore volume belongs to pistachio wood, which was increased from 0.168 to 0.271 cm3/g from 8x30 to 60x80 mesh.                                         Resumen. En este estudio, se seleccionaron cuatro precursores de nanoestructuras diferentes, madera de pistache, madera de nueces, madera de bosque y carbón (antracita) para producir carbón activado. Los experimentos se realizaron a escala industrial utilizando un horno rotatorio con una temperatura entre 850 y 920 ºC durante 45 minutos, seguido de vapor. El producto se molió y se dividió en tres tamaños de partículas, en mallas de 8x30, 30x50 y 60x80. Las propiedades físicas y la química de la superficie de las muestras de carbón activado se determinaron mediante imágenes de la adsorción de BET-N2. Los resultados obtenidos de las mediciones de los números de yodo y azul de metileno, área de superficie, volumen de poros y comparación de área de superficie y volumen de poros muestran que, al disminuir los tamaños de partícula de cada muestra, aumenta significativamente el área de superficie y los volúmenes de microporos. La magnitud de los cambios en el área de la superficie con el tamaño de partícula es un factor significativo en la definición de la efectividad y la idoneidad de un carbón activado para la producción de tamiz molecular de carbono. Nuestros resultados indican que el mayor volumen de poros pertenece a la madera de pistache, que aumentó de la malla de 0.168 a 0.271 cm3/g de 8x30 a 60x80.

This paper presents the synthesis and evaluation of a carbon molecular sieve membrane (CMSM) grown inside a MEMS-fabricated μ-preconcentrator for sampling highly volatile organic compounds. An array of µ-pillars measuring 100 µm in diameter and 250 µm in height were fabricated inside a microfluidic channel to increase the attaching surface for the CMSM. The surface area of the CMSM was measured as high as 899 m2/g. A GC peak amplification factor >2 × 104 was demonstrated with gaseous ethyl acetate. Up to 1.4 L of gaseous ethanol at the 100 ppb level could be concentrated without exceeding the capacity of this microchip device. Sharp desorption chromatographic peaks (<3.5 s) were obtained while using this device directly as a GC injector. Less volatile compounds such as gaseous toluene, m-xylene, and mesitylene appeared to be adsorbed strongly on CMSM, showing a memory effect. Sampling parameters such as sample volatilities, sampling capacities, and compound residual issues were empirically determined and discussed.
