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.

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

We present a comparative study of hydrogen gas adsorption experiments on CPO-27–Cu and –Mn. The initial isosteric heat of adsorption in CPO-27–Cu is low for a material containing open metal sites and in contrast to the other members of the CPO-27 series, including the Mn compound.

Isosteric Heat Of Adsorption

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.

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.

Walled Carbon Nanotubes

The isosteric heat of adsorption was used to study the interaction between hydrogen molecules and the Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs). Characterizations of the MWCNTs sample were carried out based on the N2 adsorption isotherm at 77 K and the images from TEM and HRTEM. Step by step method was used to volumetrically measure hydrogen adsorption isotherms at equilibrium temperature-pressures from 123-310 K and 0-12.3 MPa. Isosteric heats of adsorption at seven excess adsorption amounts and that at zero surface loading were respectively determined by the slopes of the adsorption isosteres and the plot of the temperature dependence of the Henry’s constants. Results show that the limit of the isosteric heat of adsorption at zero surface loading is about and the mean under the experimental condition is about . The values are in the same grade as those of hydrogen on the activated coconut charcoal but smaller than those of hydrogen on the graphitized carbon black P33, the activated carbon AX-21 and the Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). Conclusions are drawn that relatively lower adsorption amounts and the isosteric heat of hydrogen adsorption on the MWCNTs could be ascribed to the small specific surface area and the large mesopores.
