The Jurassic continental shale from northern Qaidam basin was selected as the research object, through the analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption experiment, the mineral composition and pore structure characteristics of Jurassic continental shale from the northern Qaidam basin have been investigated in detail. All shale samples studied are quite rich in clay minerals. The clay mineral content ranges from 59.8% to 83.3% with an average of 74.6%, and the brittle mineral content accounts for 16.5% to 39.3%. Nitrogen adsorption test results indicate that for mesopores and macropores of shale samples the average pore width is 2~200 nm, mainly centering on 10~50 nm, and the micropores of the shale samples have a centralized distribution of 0.5~1 nm. The shale samples show high specific surface areas of 4.6~15.2 m2/g. According to SEM results, interparticle mineral matrix pores are main pore type and slit-type pore are well developed.

Model Diesel

The adsorption removal of quinoline from model diesel by using alumina, diatomite, silica gel, and allochroic silica gel as adsorbents was investigated. The experiment results indicated that the adsorption denitrogenation performance of allochroic silica gel was more superior to other three adsorbents. The silica gel and allochroic silica gel were confirmed by characterization with X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption–desorption, and ammonia temperature programmed desoption (NH3-TPD). X-ray diffraction results indicated that both the samples were amorphous structures. The average pore diameters of silica gel and allochroic silica gel were 18.46 and 1.80 nm, the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface areas were 437.86 and 623.39 m2/g, and the pore volumes were 0.9724 and 0.3442 cm3/g, respectively. The results of TPD showed that the acidity of allochroic silica gel was far stronger than that of silica gel which greatly enhanced its adsorption denitrogenation performance. The adsorption denitrogenation performance of allochroic silica gel for quinoline, aniline, and pyridine from model diesel was as follows: aniline, pyridine, and quinoline. Adsorption temperature, particle size, and arenes added in model diesel had little impact on the removal of aniline and pyridine except quinoline. The adsorbent-to-oil ratio had significant effects on adsorption denitrogenation, especially for quinoline. The N–Co bond between Co in allochroic silica gel and N atom in the basic nitrogen compounds molecule played a significant role. Furthermore, the allochroic silica gel could be easily regenerated by its adsorption denitrogenation performance for quinoline and pyridine by using calcination once or several times, except aniline. The adsorption isotherm results revealed that the adsorption of pyridine and aniline belonged to the Langmuir–Freundlich binding model, but the adsorption of quinoline belonged to Freundlich model.

Adsorption Desorption

CuO–Al2O3 catalysts containing various amounts of copper oxide have been prepared by precipitation. The phase changes were studied by X-ray diffraction. The results obtained revealed that the thermal treatment of solid CuO–Al2O3 at 700 °C produced only crystalline CuO. Heating to 900 °C led to the formation of copper alumina spinel together with unreacted CuO and γ-Al2O3. The spinel content was found to increase with increasing copper content. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms on the calcined samples have been measured. Surface areas have been calculated and the pore structure analysed. The textural properties of the system were found to depend on both the copper content and the calcination temperature. Key words: CuO, Al2O3 catalysts, structure, surface area, pore structure.

Abstract Hygrothermal treatment is an environmentally friendly and efficient modification method. In this study, Moso bamboo was modified with hygrothermal treatments, and the results of nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nano indentation (NI) were then examined. Interestingly, the samples that underwent hygrothermal treatment at 180 °C and 100% RH (relative humidity) had the highest crystallinity (36.92%), which was 11.07% statistically larger than that of the control samples. Simultaneously, the total pore volume and average pore diameter (2.72 nm) dramatically decreased by 38.2% and 43.7%, respectively. The NI elasticity and hardness of the samples also reached the highest values under this condition; both increased by nearly 21% as compared with the control samples. Therefore, 180 °C is a favorable hygrothermal treatment temperature for Moso bamboo modification due to the porosity changes and the improvement of the nanomechanics of the cell walls.

Villiger Oxidation

AbstractThree types of AlFePILCs pillared clays have been prepared from Algerian clay precursors. They have been characterized and tested in the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone to caprolactone using benzaldehyde and oxygen as oxidant at room temperature. The structural and textural properties of the catalyst have been determined by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Mössbauer spectroscopy.The different activities of the clays have been related to their Fe contents and accessible surface areas. The induction period observed before the reaction started has been attributed to the dissolution of a portion of the Fe3+ cations, mediated by either the perbenzoic acid intermediate or the benzoic acid co-product. The reaction was indeed catalysed by a few ppm of dissolved iron cations and the catalysis of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation reaction should mechanistically be considered as homogeneous.

This paper presents the preparation of bimodal crystalline macro-/mesoporous titania powders by using a pluronic polymer (EO20PO70EO20, P123) as a template through a hydrothermal treatment. The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results reveal that the amount of P123 has a significant effect on the surface area of the mesoporous titania. When the mass ratio of P123:TBOT is 1:14, the crystalline macro-/mesoporous titania has the largest surface area (120.96 m2/g), the average pore diameter of this sample reaches a minimum of 6.67 nm.

The surface areas, as determined from X-ray diffraction and low temperature nitrogen adsorption data, were compared for a number of carbon blacks and activated charcoals. Comparative data were also obtained on samples of charcoal at various stages of activation and after calcination. The X-ray diffraction data indicated that all the samples examined were composed of small graphitelike crystallites of the same order of magnitude, which had specific surfaces of about 2500 to 3000 sq. m. per cc. The nitrogen adsorption surface of a highly activated charcoal was found to be about equal to the X-ray surface. It is suggested that the crystallite surface represents the potential adsorption surface of a carbonaceous material and, providing that crystal growth does not occur during activation, the activation process makes these surfaces available to external adsorbate.

Abstract Reactive forms of cerium oxide were prepared by a thermal decomposition of various precursors, namely carbonates, oxalates and citrates, commercially available nanocrystalline cerium oxide (nanoceria) was involved in the study for comparison. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) were used to examine the morphology and crystallinity of the samples, respectively, whereas the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method of nitrogen adsorption was used to determine surface areas. Interactions of cerium oxide with some phosphorus-containing compounds were investigated. Some of the examined samples, especially those prepared by annealing from carbonate precursors, exhibited an outstanding ability to destroy highly toxic organophosphates, such as pesticides (parathion methyl), or nerve agents (soman, VX). There were identified some relations between the degradation efficiency of cerium oxides and their crystallinity. It was also shown that cerium oxide is able to destroy one of widely used flame retardants - triphenyl phosphate. A phosphatase-mimetic activity of various cerium oxides was examined with the aid of a standardized phosphatase test.

A series of mesoporous materials have been synthesized in an acid medium, with various structures, such as SBA-15. These materials have many properties which make them potential catalysts. Among these we highlight their high surface areas and pore walls relatively thick, resulting in a greater hydrothermal stability. This work aims at the synthesis and characterization of molecular sieve SBA-15 with molar composition: 1.0 TEOS: 0.017 P123: 5.7 HCl: 193 H2O and Co/SBA-15 and catalysts for the reaction of Ru/Co/SBA-15 Fischer Tropsch process. The materials were characterized by the techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical analysis by X-ray spectrometry, energy dispersive (EDX) and Nitrogen adsorption (BET method). X-ray diffraction showed that the calcined cobalt catalyst did not modify the structure of SBA-15 and that Co was present under the form of Co3O4 in the catalyst. The addition of cobalt in the SBA-15 decreased the specific superficial area of the molecular sieve.

Adsorption Desorption

In this study, pillared layered clays were prepared by modifying Vietnamese bentonite with polymeric Al and Fe. The obtained materials were characteristic of X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal analysis, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. The results indicated that hydroxy-aluminum ([Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)12]7+) and poly-hydroxyl-Fe or polyoxo-Fe cations were intercalated into layers of clay, resulting in an increase of d001 values and of the specific surface areas compared with those of initial bentonite. Modified bentonites were employed to adsorb As(V) from aqueous solution. The adsorption of As(V) was strongly dependent on solution pH, and the maximum adsorption of modified bentonites was obtained in the pH 3.0 for Fe-bentonite and the pH 4.0 for Al-bentonite. The equilibrium adsorption study showed that the data were well fit by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of As(V) at 30°C derived from the Langmuir equation was 35.71 mg/g for Al-bentonite and 18.98 mg/g for Fe-bentonite. Adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and reusability of modified bentonites have been addressed.

AbstractThe adsorption of sulphur dioxide (SO2) on two bentonites from Unye, Turkey (Kavaktepe and Yemişlitepe deposits – denoted below as BK and BY) and on forms treated with 1 and 2 M HCl solutions was investigated. The bentonite samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA) and nitrogen adsorption methods. Adsorption capacities of SO2 were obtained using a standard volumetric apparatus at 293 K and 106 kPa. The SO2 adsorption capacity of the BY-2 (1.263 mmol g–1) sample was much greater than the BK-2 (1.126 mmol g–1) sample. As the concentration of acid increased, the specific surface areas and the uptakes of SO2 gas increased.
