Enhanced Adsorption

The changes in the pore structure and adsorption properties of sepiolite from Goles resulting from treatment with 4MHCl for various periods of time were investigated. The BET method specific surface areas, pore volumes and f ? plots were determined by nitrogen adsorption. The surface area progressively increased during the 70 hours of acid treatment, when a maximum was attained. The differences in the adsorption properties of the original and the acid treated sepiolite were evaluated by comparison of adsorption isotherms obtained with benzene, n-hexane, methanol and isooctane. The enhanced adsorption of isooctane was of great interest, since the sorption of this compound on natural sepiolites is generally very limited. The results suggest that chemical treatment of sepiolite with 4MHCl for 70 h produces an adsorbent of optimal porosity and other adsorption properties.

AbstractA sepiolite from Vallecas (Spain) was treated with solutions of HC1 (1.25, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0 wt%) at 25°C for 2, 6, 24 and 48 h, respectively. The resulting solids were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and thermal analyses, along with SEM, TEM and nitrogen adsorption isotherms at 77 K. The free silica was digested and determined in all samples. Several samples were seen to have specific surface areas up to 450 m2/g, with a maximum value of 549 m2/g in the sample treated with 1.25 wt% HCl for 48 h. A sudden decrease in specific surface areas was observed when free silica was digested.

AbstractIn this study the sorption of cesium was investigated on four different minerals; quartz, plagioclase, potassium feldspar and biotite as well as granodiorite obtained from the Grimsel test site in Switzerland. The experiments were conducted in the presence of the weakly saline Grimsel groundwater simulant by determining the distribution coefficients using batch sorption experiments and PHREEQC-modelling across a large concentration range. In addition, the purity of the minerals was measured by XRD and the specific surface areas by BET method using krypton. The distribution coefficients of cesium were largest on biotite (0.304 ± 0.005 m

AbstractComparison of the adsorptive properties of two samples of akaganéite prepared by different methods shows that a structural scheme based upon solid rods is much more likely than a previously proposed scheme involving tubes. Specific surface areas, qualitative and quantitative assessments of porosity' and electron micrographs strongly support this structure.

AbstractThe physicochemical properties of clays can be modified by acid treatment with inorganic acids. This treatment is usually referred to as ‘acid activation’, because it increases the specific surface area and the number of active sites of the solids. In the present study, the acid activation of saponite from Cerro del Aguila (Madrid, Spain) with HCl solutions was measured. Illite, quartz and small amounts of feldspar were found as impurities in the raw saponite.Acid treatments were carried out with different concentrations of HCl solutions. The samples obtained were characterized by mineralogical and chemical analyses, XRD, FT-IR spectroscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and TEM. The acid attack, under the conditions employed, produced a progressive destruction of the structure of saponite by partial dissolution of the octahedral Mg(II) cations. Amorphous silica coming from the tetrahedral sheet of saponite was generated. The specific surface area of the most intensely treated sample (2.5% for 24 h) was doubled with respect to that of natural saponite. This increase in the surface area is due to the increase in both the external and internal surface areas.

AbstractWater vapour/nitrogen adsorption were investigated and calculated the specific surface areas of arctic-zone soil samples (Turbic Cryosols) originating from different micro-relief forms (mud boils, cell forms and sorted circles) and from different depths. For the characterisation of the isotherms obtained for arctic soils, the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller model was then compared with the two other models (Aranovich-Donohue and Guggenheim-Anderson-de Boer) which were developed from Brunauer-Emmet-Teller. Specific surface area was calculated using the Brunauer-Emmet-Teller model at p p0−1range of 0.05-0.35 for the water vapour desorption and nitrogen adsorption isotherms. The values of total specific surface area were the highest in Cryosols on mud boils, lower on cell forms, and the lowest on sorted circles. Such tendency was observed for the results obtained by both the water vapour and nitrogen adsorption. The differences in the values of specific surface area at two investigated layers were small. High determination coefficients were obtained for relationships between the specific surface areas and contents of clay and silt fraction in Cryosols. No statistically significant correlation between the total carbon amount and the values of specific surface area in Cryosols has been found.

Co3O4nanoparticles were fabricated by a novel, facile, and environment-friendly carbon-assisted method using degreasing cotton. Structural and morphological characterizations were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The component of the sample obtained at different temperatures was measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms were utilized to reveal the specific surface areas. The formation mechanism of Co3O4nanoparticles was also proposed, demonstrating that the additive degreasing cotton played an indispensable role in the process of synthesizing the sample. The resultant Co3O4sample calcined at 600°C exhibited superior electrochemical performance with better specific capacitance and long-term cycling life, due to its high specific surface areas and pores structures. Additionally, it has been proved that this facile synthetic strategy can be extended to produce other metal oxide materials (e.g., Fe3O4). As a consequence, the carbon-assisted method using degreasing cotton accompanied a promising prospect for practical application.

Data of adsorption isotherms of nitrogen adsorption at 77 K on various samples of zeolites were measured. Besides derivation of specific surface area by BET analysis, samples were characterised by values obtained by t-plots; specific surface areas of mesopores and specific volumes of micropores are also calculated. Results show the value of the use of t-plot method for the characterization of microporosity changes in zeolites after various treatments, and also for quantitative estimation of zeolite content in natural zeolites and the crystallinity of synthetic zeolites.

Monolayer Coverage

V2O5/TiO2 systems have been obtained by reacting TiO2 (P-25 from Degussa, ca 55% anatase, or a rutilised modification, ca 3% anatase) with gaseous VOCl3. The samples have been characterised by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectrophotometry and nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. For the anatase carrier, a monolayer coverage of V2O5 is achieved, but only 0·46 monolayers are formed with the rutilised support. The specific surface areas decrease upon incorporation of V2O5, and that seems to be well dispersed without forming crystallites.
