This paper reported the production of precursor PAN/MnO2 nanofibers via electrospinning method and studying its microstructural properties. The nanofibers were prepared by electrospun the polymer solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and Manganese Oxide (MnO2) in, N, N-Dimethylformamide as its solvent. The factors considered in this study were polymer PAN/ MnO2 concentration which will significantly affect the specific surface area, nanofibers morphology, micropore volume and diameter of the nanofibers. The nanofibers were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area, and Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The addition of MnO2 in polymer solution increased the specific surface area of the nanofibers up to 3.5 wt % which found to be its optimum loading. In conclusion, the precursor PAN/ MnO2 -based ACNF were successfully produced with the optimization of metal oxide loading resulting to nanofibers with higher specific surface area which will further increased its adsorption performance.

Microporous carbons prepared from commercial activated carbon WG12 by KOH and/or ZnCl2 treatment were examined as adsorbents for CO2 capture. The micropore volume and specific surface area of the resulting carbons varied from 0.52 cm3/g (1374 m2/g) to 0.70 cm3/g (1800 m2/g), respectively. The obtained microporous carbon materials showed high CO2 adsorption capacities at 40 bar pressure reaching 16.4 mmol/g.

The main purpose of this study was to characterize the mineral and chemical composition of typical red muds in China. Changes in the physicochemical and microstructural properties of red muds collected from the Shanxi and Shandong provinces were investigated after they were immersed in an alkaline NaOH or an acidic HCl solution for 7, 28, and 120 days. The results showed that red mud has a high cation exchange capacity and active physicochemical properties, which can be closely related to its extremely high alkalinity and complex microstructure. The neutralization of red mud with the HCl solution results in the release of Na+ from the red mud particles into the leachate and can effectively decrease the pH value of the filtrate. The neutralization process can result in a significant decrease in the liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index, whereas the opposite was observed for the different parameters after the addition of the NaOH solution. In this sense, acid neutralization can significantly improve the cementation property of the red mud. This result will increase the water permeability of the acid-treated soil layer and improve the growth ability of plants. The specific surface area of red mud immersed in the NaOH solution decreased, whereas the specific surface area of red mud immersed in the HCl solution increased. This study contributes to our understanding of red mud properties after the red mud has been subjected to acidic and alkaline treatments, and the results can provide insights into the safe disposal of red mud.

The Relationship

The properties of four different activated carbon fiber cloth (ACF), such as specific surface area, pore volumes and pore size distribution, were evaluated. The relationship between ACF properties and its electrosorption performance was analyzed. The experimental results show that pore structure has more influence on the performance of ACF electrode than that of specific surface area for ACF material. More abundant mesopores and shallower pore channels for ACF is favorable to improve the specific capacitance and electrosorption capacity of ions.

The decomposition of dolomite into CaO and MgO was performed at 1073 K in vacuum and at 1273 K in an Ar atmosphere. The dolomite calcined in vacuum was found to have a higher specific surface area and a higher micropore volume when compared to the dolomite calcined in the Ar atmosphere. These pyrolysis products of dolomite were reacted with CO2at 673 K for 21.6 ks. On the absorption of CO2, the formation of CaCO3was observed. The degree of absorption of the dolomite calcined in vacuum was determined to be above 50%, which was higher than the degree of absorption of the dolomite calcined in the Ar atmosphere. The CO2absorption and release procedures were repeated three times for the dolomite calcined in vacuum. The specific surface area and micropore volume of calcined dolomite decreased with successive repetitions of the CO2absorption and release cycles leading to a decrease in the degree of absorption of CO2.

AbstractDry grinding of pyrophyllite (Hillsboro, USA) has been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area measurements (BET) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). At the beginning of the grinding process, some effects such as delamination, gliding and folding of the layers, and decrease in particle size were detected by SEM and XRD, resulting in a large increase in specific surface area, up to a maximum of ∼60 m2·g−1. Marked changes in the structure take place between 30 and 32 mins grinding. Longer grinding times increase the degree of disorder and SEM and specific surface area data suggest that aggregation occurs. XRD results indicate that some residual order persists in the degraded structure.

In order to study the effects of a messmate heartwood extraction process on its cell wall pore structure and its drying ability, its nanopore structure was explored after via gas adsorption technology. Specifically, the messmate heartwood particles were extracted with methanol, and then the cell wall pore structure of the original and extracted samples were evaluated by N2 and CO2 sorption and pycnometer methods, respectively. Overall, compared with the original samples, the cell wall porosity, micropore volume, mesopore volume, BET specific surface area, and specific surface area of the micropores of the extracted messmate heartwoods increased by 2.55%, 0.007 cm3/g, 0.0014 cm3/g, 0.24 m2·g-1, and 21.9 m2·g-1, respectively. The cell wall pore volume measured via the gas adsorption method was smaller than the measurement from the pycnometer method. The results indicated that the presence of extractives made the messmate cell wall have a decreased pore volume and porosity, which may be one of the reasons messmate wood is difficult to dry. Messmate extractives primarily were present in the micropores of the cell wall in the range of 0.4 nm to 0.7 nm. However, gas sorption technology could not detect all the pores in the cell wall of the messmate heartwood sample.
