A pseudo-second-order rate equation describing the kinetic adsorption of phenol onto peanut shell acid-activated carbon at different initial concentrations, carbon dosages and particle sizes has been developed. The adsorption kinetics were followed on the basis of the amount of phenol adsorbed at various time intervals at 22°C. The rate constant and the equilibrium adsorption capacity were calculated. From these parameters, empirical correlations for predicting the equilibrium adsorption capacity as a function of the C0/D ratio, and for estimating the rate constant as a function of the relation D/(C0dp)0.5, were derived. This allowed a general rate expression for design purposes to be obtained which was valid for C0/D ≤ 1.5. The operation line for each case studied was constructed and the equilibrium adsorption capacity obtained. A comparison was undertaken with the experimental adsorption isotherm as previously determined. The effect of the initial phenol concentration, the carbon dose and the particle size on the initial adsorption rate was also analyzed.

A new type and high efficiency adsorbent was prepared with powder activated carbon and polyurethane vesicant and surfactant, which being used to adsorb humic acid (HA) in boiler feedwater. The batch adsorption experiments were carrid at different pH value, different adsorbent dosage and different initial concentration to investigate HA removal rate and adsorption capacity by as-produced adsorbent. Their adsorption kinetics experiments data was fitted with pseudo-second-order rate model, its quation was 1/qt=0.094+5.51/t, and equilibrium adsorption capacity obtained from fitting curve was 10.6mg/g, consistent with the experimental results(11.5mg/g).The adsorption isotherm test was carried at 25°C-50°C, the equilibrium adsorption capacity was 10.9mg/g by Langmuir model, which being similar with experiment results, the free energy (ΔG), enthalpy(ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) were obtanined with Clapeyron-Clausius and Gibbs-Helmholtz equation in the adsorption isotherm, which all were negative, indicated that HA adsorbed by as-produced adsorbent was an exothermic process of entropy reduction.

The new adsorption material was prepared by grafting the larch tannin onto aminated silica beads with the glutaraldehyde as the cross-linking agent. The adsorption properties of Pr3+and Nd3+on the new adsorbent material in aqueous solution were investigated. The results showed that the equilibrium adsorption capacities of this adsorbent to Pr3+, Nd3+were 402.12mg/g, 305.43mg/g at 303K when the initial concentrations of each ions were 442.7mg/L, 432.6mg/L, respectively and the pH value was 5.5; the maximum adsorption quantities of each ions were 576.34mg/g, 497.02mg/g at 303K when the initial concentrations of each ions were 704.5mg/L, 721.0mg/L, respectively and the pH value was 5.5. The effect of pH value was significant to the equilibrium adsorption capacity, the optimum pH values of this material to Pr3+and Nd3+were both 5.5; while the effect of the temperature was not obvious to the equilibrium adsorption capacity. The adsorption thermodynamics meet Freundlich equation, and the adsorption kinetics data of this adsorbent to Pr3+, Nd3+fitted with the pseudo-second-order rate equation dynamics model.

Adsorption cooling technology is one of the effective means to convert low grade thermal energy in to effective cooling, which improves energy efficiency and lowers environmental pollution. The main objective of this study is to investigate the thermal performance of an adsorption refrigerator theoretically. The working adsorbent/adsorbate pair used is Granular Activated Carbon, GAC/R134a pa*ir. The effect of different design parameters and operating conditions on the system performance is studied and interpreted.Some assumptions and approximations are also considered. A computer program is written using Matlab. Results show that the equilibrium adsorption capacity is highly affected by the driving temperature and equilibrium pressure. Increasing equilibrium pressure leads to a corresponding increase in the equilibrium adsorption capacity whereas it is value is decreased as the driving temperature increases. Moreover, increasing the driving and evaporator temperatures raise the values of the Specific Cooling Effect (SCE) andCoefficient of Performance (COP). The maximum values of SCE and COP are 60 KJ/kg and 0.4 corresponding to driving and evaporator temperatures of 100 oC and 20 oC respectively. However, increasing the condenser temperature leads to a remarked decrease in SCE and COP of the cooling system. SCE and COP values are 32 KJ/kg and 0.22 at driving and condenser temperatures of 100 oC and 40 oC respectively. When comparing the present study results with literature, there is a good agreement in general. It is clear that the adsorption cooling system can be driven effectively by low grade heat sources such as, solar energy, waste heat energy, geothermal energy…etc.

It’s more difficult to remove dibenzothiophenic sulfur in diesel. Adsorption performance of self-made metal-organic framework on Cu-BTC, MCM-22, alumina and silica gel for 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene(4,6-DMDBT) in simulated diesel at room temperature were investigated. The results show, BET surface area of Cu-BTC is up to 1501m2/g. When the initial concentration of sulfur in 4-MDBT is 46.80mg S/L, the static equilibrium adsorption capacity of Cu-BTC for 4-MDBT in simulated diesel is 2.40mg S/gads, which is about 20 times than that of other adsorbents. When the initial concentration of sulfur in 4,6-DMDBT is 48.47mg S/L, the equilibrium adsorption capacity of Cu-BTC for 4,6-DMDBT in simulated diesel is 2.04mg S/gads. The adsorption isotherms of Cu-BTC for 4-MDBT and 4,6-DMDBT indicate that when the equilibrium concentration of sulfur is 50mg S/L, the adsorption performance of Cu-BTC for 4-MDBT and 4,6-DMDBT following the order is 4-MDBT>4,6-DMDBT.
