Porous carbon and La2O3/porous carbon materials are synthesized for the study of CO2 adsorption and separation by the volumetric method. The synthesized adsorbents are characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, Raman spectra and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. Characterization results confirm the existence of porosity in the synthesized carbon materials and uniform distribution of lanthanum(III) oxide on porous carbon. The CO2 adsorption capacity for porous carbon and La2O3/porous carbon is 21 and 33 cm3 g−1, respectively, at 298 K and 1 bar. High adsorption of CO2 is obtained for La2O3/porous carbon because of the electrostatic interaction between La2O3 and CO2. Moreover, the N2 adsorption capacity is 2.8 cm3 g−1 for porous carbon and 2.2 cm3 g−1 for La2O3/porous carbon at 298 K and 1 bar. The change in N2 adsorption is due to the decrease in surface area. For La2O3/porous carbon, the selectivity of CO2/N2 is 33.5 and the heat of CO2 adsorption is 36.5 kJ mol−1 at low adsorption of CO2. It also shows constant CO2 adsorption capacity in each adsorption cycle.

The CO2 adsorption on various Prussian blue analogue hexacyanoferrates was evaluated by thermogravimetric analysis. Compositions of prepared phases were verified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, infra-red spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction. The influence of different alkali cations in the cubic Fm3m structures was investigated for nominal compositions A2/3Cu[Fe(CN)6]2/3 with A = vacant, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs. The Rb and Cs compounds show the highest CO2 adsorption per unit cell, 3.3 molecules of CO2 at 20 C and 1 bar, while in terms of mmol/g the Na compound exhibits the highest adsorption capability, 3.8 mmol/g at 20 C and 1 bar. The fastest adsorption/desorption is exhibited by the A-cation free compound and the Li compound. The influence of the amount of Fe(CN)6 vacancies were assessed by determining the CO2 adsorption capabilities of Cu[Fe(CN)6]1/2 (Fm3m symmetry, nominally 50% vacancies), KCu[Fe(CN)6]3/4 (Fm3m symmetry, nominally 25% vacancies), and CsCu[Fe(CN)6] (I-4m2 symmetry, nominally 0% vacancies). Higher adsorption was, as expected, shown on compounds with higher vacancy concentrations.

The zeolites differ from traditional adsorbents for selective adsorption of small molecules, the high adsorption capacity at low concentrations and affinity for organic compounds and unsaturated polar molecules. In this work a Y-type zeolite was synthesized, characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and adsorption of nitrogen and subjected to test adsorption capacity where it was found that the Y zeolite has the potential adsorption capacity compared to other materials being studied and marketed.

Abstract In this study, MIL-101(Fe), MIL-101(Fe,Cu), and Graphene Oxide (GO) /MIL-101(Fe,Cu) were synthesized to compose a novel sorbent. The adsorption properties of these three MOFs-based composites were compared toward the removal of phosphate. Furthermore, the influencing factors including reaction time, pH, temperature and initial concentration on the adsorption capacity of phosphate on these materials as well as the reusability of the material were discussed. The structure of fabricated materials and the removal mechanism of phosphate on the composite material were analyzed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis and zeta potential. The results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of phosphate by the composite GO/MIL-101(Fe,Cu)-2% was 204.60 mg·g− 1, which is higher than that of MIL-101(Fe,Cu) and MIL-101(Fe). likewise the specific surface area of GO/MIL-101(Fe,Cu)-2% is 778.11 m2/g is higher than that of MIL-101(Fe,Cu) and MIL-101(Fe),which are 747.75 and 510.66m2/g respectively. The adsorption mechanism of phosphate is electrostatic attraction, form coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds. The fabricated material is a promising adsorbent for the removal of phosphate with good reusability.

Mesoporous TiO2 with anatase crystalline structure (MTiO2) has been synthesized by using Lac Red as template. The synthesized mesoporous titania samples were characterized by a combination of various physicochemical techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), N2 adsorption/desorption. It was found that without any external doping MTiO2 exhibited significant high adsorption abilities for adsorbing the gaseous acetaldehyde by the adsorption ratio of 39.15%.

Carbon materials with developed porosity are usually used as supports for platinum catalysts. Physico-chemical characteristics of the support influence the properties of platinum deposited and its catalytic activity. In our studies, we deposited platinum on carbon fibrous like materials obtained from platanus seeds - achenes. The precursor was chemically activated with different reagents: NaOH, pyrogallol, and H2O2, before the carbonization process. Platinum was deposited on all substrates to study the influence of the substrate properties on the activity of the catalyst. Carbon materials were characterized by nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms measurements, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. It was noticed that the adsorption characteristics of carbon support affected the structure of platinum deposits and thus their activity.

Introduction: Solid porous carbon (SPC) with micro-mesopore structures was successfully fabricated from used cigarette filters via carbonization. Experimental: The morphology and structure of the as-prepared porous carbon materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Results: This novel carbon material allows the removal of organic pollutants from water. The maximum adsorbed capacity of methylene blue could reach ~185 mg.g-1, which was attributed to the high specific surface area (567.7 m2.g-1) and the micro-mesoporous structure of the samples. Conclusion: Furthermore, when genomic stability was maintained in the solution, SPC was easily extracted. The mechanism for the fabrication of the proposed used cigarette filter is elucidated in this study.

The paper presents a study for investigating i) the effect of amination of poly(GMA)-grafted polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) substrates with trimethylamine (TMA) and ethylenediamine (EDA) and ii) their impact on carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption capacity of the obtained adsorbents. The chemical, structural, and morphological changes of the aminated adsorbents were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The amination yield with TMA was 40% higher than EDA. However, the obtained adsorbent showed two times lower CO2 adsorption capacity (at 30 bars) than the adsorbent with EDA and stood at 0.6 mmol g-1 compared to 1.2 mmol g-1.

In this work, an organic-free method was used to synthesize different morphological boehmite by controlling the crystallization temperature, and alumina adsorbents were obtained by baking the boehmites at 500 °C. The alumina adsorbents were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), High resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), N2 adsorption/desorption analysis, and their phosphorus adsorption properties were comparatively investigated by a series of experiments. The results showed that the self-prepared alumina adsorbents were lamellar and fibrous material, while the industrial adsorbent was a granular material. The lamellar alumina adsorbents had the largest specific surface area and showed better phosphorus adsorption capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity could reach up to 588.2 mg·g−1; and only 0.8 g·L−1 of lamellar alumina adsorbent is needed to treat 100 mg·L−1 phosphorus solution under the Chinese level 1 discharge standard (0.5 mg·L−1). Further investigation suggests that the lamellar alumina adsorbent kept high adsorption capacity in various solution environments.

A 3D metal-organic framework (MOF), Mn2L2(H2O)2 · (DMF) {H2L = 5- (Pyridin-2-yl)-3, 3′-bi (1H-1,2,4-triazole)} (1) with uncoordinated N-heteroatom sites, has been obtained through hydrothermal method and structurally characterized by X-ray structural analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and thermal analysis (TGA). The framework of compound 1 exhibits fascinating adsorption properties and shows high adsorption enthalpy of CO2. The experimental results prove which uncoordinated nitrogen heteroatom sites can markedly increase the reciprocity between host frame and CO2 at room temperature.
