The aim of this paper is to study the adsorption characteristics of nitric oxide (NO) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) on raw coal activated carbon over temperature ranged 298～343K using a static volumetric adsorption apparatus. The adsorption equilibrium data for NO and SO2were fitted to Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) and Sips adsorption isotherm model. Isosteric heat of adsorption was determined by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation. It was found that Sips adsorption isotherm model is more suitable for description of NO adsorption process at 298K, 313K and 328K and SO2adsorption process at 313K, 328K and 343K, however, D-R adsorption isotherm model is more suitable for description of the NO adsorption process at 343K and SO2adsorption process at 298K. The isosteric heat of adsorption values of SO2increase slightly as the adsorbed amounts increasing from 0.8 to 1.6mg/g, but the isosteric heat of adsorption values of NO show a converse trend. Meanwhile, NO and SO2adsorbed on coal activated carbon at the four temperatures may be a dominant of physical adsorption.

Abstract The present work is a revieif of theoretical and experimental study on the adsorption performance of the adsorbent Alumina (Al2O3) used in the adsorption system. An experimental investigation on the equilibrium adsorption isosteres at low pressure (< 1 atm) of working pairs Al2O3/H2O and Al2O3/C2H6O2 is carried out. The isovolume measurement method is adopted in the test setup to directly measure the saturated vapor pressures of working pairs at vapor-liquid equilibrium (dG=0 and dμi=0). Quantity adsorbed is determined from pressure, volume and temperature using gas law. The isosteric heat of adsorption is calculated from the slope of the plot of lnP versus 1/T different amounts of adsorbate onto adsorbent as follows: 0,01 vol% Al2O3/H2O; 0,03 vol% Al2O3/H2O; 0,1 vol% Al2O3/H2O; 0,01 vol% Al2O3/C2H6O2; 0,03 vol% Al2O3/C2H6O2; 0,1 vol% Al2O3/C2H6O2. This study shows that adsorption working pair Al2O3 C2H6O2 has better adsorption performances than those of the A2O3/H2O. Surface acidity! is a most important property! far both adsorption and catalysis and therefore is examined structure of active sites of alumina surface. Thermodynamic parameters such as isosteric heat of adsorption, isosteric enthalpy and entropy of adsorption are critical design variables in estimating the performance and predicting the mechanism of an adsorption process and are also one of the basic requirements for the characterization and optimization of an adsorption process

No Removal

Nitric oxide (NO) emission is known to pose detrimental effects towards the environment and human beings. Low-temperature NO removal by activated carbon from agricultural waste materials is affordable due to the use of low-cost materials as precursor and elimination of the need for flue gas reheating. The use of chemical agents in activated carbon production improves the performance of waste materials in NO removal. The performance of NO removal was investigated via breakthrough experiment using oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) activated with zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 1.5 M). Activation of EFB with 0.5 M ZnCl2 resulted in the formation of well-defined micropores, but the use of higher concentration of ZnCl2 resulted in widening of developed pores and intense pore blockage which reduce the accessibility of NO molecules to the adsorption sites. An adsorption isotherm study conducted using 0.5 M ZnCl2/EFB sample with varying NO concentration between 300-1000 ppm indicated that the adsorption process was best defined by Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, adsorption kinetic was investigated at different temperatures; i.e. 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 °C. NO removal was found to follow Avrami kinetic model at T=100 °C, while upon further increase in temperature, the process was better fitted to the pseudo-second order kinetic model. NO adsorption capacity increases significantly beyond 250 °C up to 1000 mg/g. The activation energy of NO adsorption fell into two distinct regions: -4.73 kJ/mol at 100-200 °C and 84.04 kJ/mol at 200-300 °C. At lower temperature, the adsorption process was exothermic and followed physisorption path, while the increase in reaction temperature led to slower rate of reaction. It was concluded that the removal of NO using EFB modified with ZnCl2 at optimized condition could be a promising alternatives for treating NO-containing flue gas.

Isosteric Heat Of Adsorption

Mahua (Madhuca longifolia) seed activated carbon (MSAC) has been developed as an effective adsorbent for the removal of phenol from contaminated wastewaters. Prepared MSAC was characterized for various physico-chemical properties, Fourier transform infra- red (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Laboratory batch experiments were performed to investigate the effect of MSAC dosage (w), pH, contact time (t), and initial phenol concentrations (Co) on sorption efficiency at optimal conditions. The maximum adsorption capacity of phenol was obtained at pH=6, t=5 h and MSAC dosage=1.2 g/l. The kinetics data of phenol adsorption was very well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium adsorption data were best fitted to the Langmuir isotherm. The average effective diffusion coefficient 6.4?10-13 m2/s was calculated from the experimental data. Thermodynamic studies confirmed the sorption process to be spontaneous and exothermic. The isosteric heat of adsorption of phenol was found to increase with an increase in the surface loading indicating that MSAC have more homogeneous surface.

Adsorption Isosteres

For developing carbon based adsorbents for hydrogen storage, Staram PCTPro E&E was employed and activated carbon SAC-02 having specific surface area about 2074m2/g was selected to measure isotherms of hydrogen adsorption respectively from temperature range 77.15K-110.15K and 253.15K-293.15K. Isosteres of hydrogen adsorption on the activated carbon was then plotted to determine the isosteric heat of hydrogen adsorption, and temperature dependent of Henry law constants were further applied to set the limit isosteric heat of adsorption at zero surface coverage. Results show that the isosteric heat of adsorption is about 3.6-5.4kJ/mol with a mean value 4.38kJ/mol at zero surface coverage. Results also reveal that adsorption isosteres of adsorption data at different temperature regions bring about a different isosteric heat of adsorption due to the variation in contributions from thermal motion of adsorbate molecules. Conclusions are drawn that adsorption isosteres on the adsorption data in correspondence with the lowest and highest temperatures of the hydrogen storage system should be carried out to determine the isosteric heat of adsorption for effectively managing the thermal effect.
