Adsorbent CuO/r-Al2O3 was successfully prepared by the dry impregnation using Cu(NO3)2.3H2O solution oncommercial r-Al2O3. Impregnation and calcination process was be done repeatedly to get a desired CuO contenton the support. The impregnations were done at 50oC for 8 hours or 120°C for 5 hours. Calcinations were carriedout at a temperature of 400oC for 8 hours. Adsorbent obtained from this preparation contained Cu: 7.93% (named8Cu), 14.76% (15Cu) and 28.98% (30Cu). Pore characteristic indicated that the surface area decreased with theincrease in Cu content in the adsorbent (from 207 in original support to 124 m2/g in 8Cu). Similar tendency wasfound for the pore volume (from 0.47 to 0.28 mL/g).In batch adsorption test, the amount of adsorbed SO2 was calculated from the increase in mass of adsorbent.Adsorbent 8Cu had the best adsorption capacity in term of mol ratio, ie. 0.78 SO2/CuO (close to stoichiometry).Original support of r-Al2O3 was found to be inert to SO2. In semi-continue test, the adsorption was carried undera flow of gas containing 2.5% SO2. The amount of adsorbed SO2 was calculated from the different of SO2content between influent to effluent. It was found again that the best adsorbent was 8Cu with the adsorptioncapacity of 0.97 mol/mol CuO.

The present work aims at a better understanding of the influences of the intercalated mono-, di- and triethanolamines on the characteristics and CO2 adsorption ability of sodium form of bentonite (Na-bentonite). The results revealed that the molar mass of intercalated amines significantly influenced the structural and surface properties as well as the CO2 adsorption capacity of Na-bentonite. In this respect, a stepwise increase in the d-spacing of Na-bentonite with the molar mass of amine was recorded by XRD technique. However, an inverse effect of the molar mass of amine on the surface area was confirmed by BET method. CO2 adsorption experiments on amine-bentonite hybrid adsorbents showed that the CO2 adsorption capacity inversly related to the molar mass of amine at 25 ͦC and 101 kPa. Accordingly, Na-bentonite modified by monoethanolammonium cations adsorbed as high as 0.475 mmol CO2/g compared to 0.148 and 0.087 mmol CO2/g for that one treated with di- and triethanolammonium cations, respectively.

Wood Sawdust

In this study, aspen wood sawdust was used as the raw material, and Fe(NO3)3 and CO2 were used as activators. Activated carbon powder (ACP) was produced by the one-step physicochemical activation method in an open vacuum tube furnace. The effects of different mass ratios of Fe(NO3)3 and aspen wood sawdust on the pore structure of ACP were examined under single-variable experimental conditions. The mass ratio was 0–0.4. The detailed characteristics of ACP were examined by nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption capacity of ACP was established by simulating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using ethyl acetate. The results showed that ACP has a good nanostructure with a large pore volume, specific surface area, and surface functional groups. The pore volume and specific surface area of Fe-AC-0.3 were 0.26 cm3/g and 455.36 m2/g, respectively. The activator played an important role in the formation of the pore structure and morphology of ACP. When the mass ratio was 0–0.3, the porosity increased linearly, but when it was higher than 0.3, the porosity decreased. For example, the pore volume and specific surface area of Fe-AC-0.4 reached 0.24 cm3/g and 430.87 m2/g, respectively. ACP presented good VOC adsorption performance. The Fe-AC-0.3 sample, which contained the most micropore structures, presented the best adsorption capacity for ethyl acetate at 712.58 mg/g. Under the action of the specific reaction products nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and oxygen, the surface of modified ACP samples showed different rich C/O/N surface functional groups, including C-H, C=C, C=O, C-O-C, and C-N.

Adsorption Properties

The adsorption properties of two nanomorphologies of trititanate, nanotubes (TiNT) and plates (TiNP), prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of concentrated NaOH with different phases of TiO2, were examined. It was found that the capacity for both morphologies towards methylene blue (MB), an ideal pollutant, was extremely high, with the TiNP having a capacity of 130 mg/g, higher than the TiNT, whose capacity was 120 mg/g at 10 mg/L MB concentration. At capacity, the well-dispersed powders deposit on the floor of the reaction vessel. The two morphologies had very different structural and adsorption properties. TiNT with high surface area and pore volume exhibited exothermic monolayer adsorption of MB. TiNP with low surface area and pore volume yielded a higher adsorption capacity through endothermic multilayer adsorption governed by pore diffusion. TiNP exhibited a higher negative surface charge of −23 mV, compared to −12 mV for TiNT. The adsorption process appears to be an electrostatic interaction, with the cationic dye attracted more strongly to the nanoplates, resulting in a higher adsorption capacity and different adsorption modes. We believe this simple, low cost production of high capacity nanostructured adsorbent material has potential uses in wastewater treatment.

The marine shale in South China has great gas exploration potential, and exploration in the Sichuan Basin has been successful, but the degree of exploration remains low in the Guizhou Province. We used organic geochemical analyses (total organic carbon content and kerogen type), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission SEM, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray diffraction analysis, and low-temperature [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] adsorption experimental methods to study the micropore types and pore structures and their effects on the methane adsorption capacity of organic-rich shales found in the Fenggang block in northern Guizhou Province. The results indicate that the microscopic surface porosity of the lower Cambrian Niutitang Formation ranges from 2.88% to 5.34%, with an average value of 3.86%. Based on nitrogen adsorption methods, the range of the average pore size distribution is 4.6–9.491 nm, with an average value of 6.68 nm. All of the samples exhibit significant unimodal distributions. The main pore size is less than 10 nm, and these pores account for most of the mesopore volume, which is generally consistent with the NMR results. The methane adsorption capacity of the shale samples gradually increases in the range of 0–8 MPa at 30°C and reaches a maximum at approximately 10 MPa. Positive correlations were found between the gas content and specific surface area, total pore volume, and micropore volume. These strong correlations indicate that the Niutitang Shale has a high specific surface area, a high pore volume, and narrow-diameter pores, demonstrating that it has a high gas adsorption capacity. The results of this study provide valuable information regarding the adsorption characteristics of marine shales and the factors that affect those characteristics.

This study focused on adsorption of atrazine in adsorbent synthesized from Rice Straw. Rice Straw biochar were used in the study as they exhibited significantly high adsorption capacity for pesticide. Briefly, rice straw was pyrolysis at 600°C under nitrogen then biochar was modified using H3PO4. Biochar were characterized for their physico-chemical characteristics. The elemental analysis of biochar was performed using CHNS Analysis. The surface area and pore volume of adsorbents were estimated using the Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET Analysis). In parts of Batch adsorption experiments was performed in range of room temperature and were divided to 2 parts. Part 1: Study of the kinetics adsorption was investigated using two models, namely, the pseudo-first-order and the pseudo-second-order models. Part 2: study of Adsorption isotherms. The results of CHNS analysis shows the elemental analysis that 51.795% of C, 0.763% of H, 1.634% of N and 0.654 % of S and the result of BET Analysis shows the surface area is 372.4 m2/g and pore volume of adsorbents is 0.315 cm3. From plotting between qt(mg/g) and time (t) shows the dynamics of the adsorption of atrazine onto the biochar at 15 ppm of initial atrazine concentrations. In general, atrazine was adsorbed quickly around 1-30 min. This could be due to fast mass transfer of solute from the solution to surface of adsorbent s as a result of concentration gradient of the solute. The study of the kinetics adsorption showed that the pseudo-second-order model best described the adsorption which agrees with chemisorption as the rate controlling mechanism.

Thermal maturity has a considerable impact on hydrocarbon generation, mineral conversion, nanopore structure, and adsorption capacity evolution of shale, but that impact on organic-rich marine shales containing type II kerogen has been rarely subjected to explicit and quantitative characterization. This study aims to obtain information regarding the effects of thermal maturation on organic matter, mineral content, pore structure, and adsorption capacity evolution of marine shale. Mesoproterozoic Xiamaling immaturity marine oil shale with type II kerogen in Zhangjiakou of Hebei, China, was chosen for anhydrous pyrolysis to simulate the maturation process. With increasing simulation temperature, hydrocarbon generation and mineral transformation promote the formation, development, and evolution of pores in the shale. The original and simulated samples consist of closed microspores and one-end closed pores of the slit throat, all-opened wedge-shaped capillaries, and fractured or lamellar pores, which are related to the plate particles of clay. The increase in maturity can promote the formation and development of pores in the shale. Heating can also promote the accumulation, formation, and development of pores, leading to a large pore volume and surface area. The temperature increase can promote the development of pore volume and surface area of 1–10 and 40-nm diameter pores. The formation and development of pore volume and surface area of 1–10 nm diameter pores are more substantial than that of 40-nm diameter pores. The pore structure evolution of the sample can be divided into pore adjustment (T < 350°C, EqRo < 0.86%), development (350°C < T < 650°C, 0.86% < EqRo < 3.28%), and conversion or destruction stages (T > 650°C, EqRo > 3.28%). Along with the increase in maturity, the methane adsorption content decreases in the initial simulation stage, increases in the middle simulation stage, and reaches the maximum value at 650°C, after which it gradually decreases. A general evolution model is proposed by combining the nanopore structure and the adsorption capacity evolution characteristics of the oil shale.

Boron nitride, also known as white graphene, has attracted extensive attention in the fields of adsorption, catalysis and hydrogen storage due to its excellent chemical properties. In this study, a phosphorus-doped boron nitride (P-BN) material was successfully prepared using red phosphorus as a dopant for the preparation of porous boron nitride precursors. The phosphorus content in the P-BN was adjusted based on the addition rate of phosphorus. The specific surface area of P-BN first increased and then decreased with increasing addition rate of phosphorus. The maximum specific surface area was 837.8 m 2 g −1 when the phosphorus addition rate was 0.50. The P-BN prepared in the experiments was used as an adsorbent, and its adsorption capacity for heavy metals from flue gas was investigated. In particular, P-BN presented a stronger adsorption selectivity for zinc compared with other heavy metals, and its adsorption capacity for zinc was 5–38 times higher than for other heavy metals. The maximum adsorption capacity of P-BN for zinc and copper in a single heavy metal atmosphere was 69.45 and 53.80 mg g −1 , respectively.

La-B-TiO2photocatalysts were prepared using tetrabutyl titanate, tributyl borate, and lanthanum chloride as the precursors by solvothermal method. The prepared sample is composed of irregular particles with fairly rough surface in the size within 5 μm. Large surface area and pore volume are benefit to adsorption and photocatalytic degradation activity of the materials. Pore size of the 1%La-3%B-TiO2sample mainly distributes in the range between 5-35 nm. Specific surface area of the material is 101.45 m2/g. The sample containing 0.5% La presents the maximum decoloration efficiency. When La content is 0.5%, methyl orange adsorption rate on the material is less than 5%, and photocatalytic degradation rate is 39.9%.

The Relationship

The enrichment of coalbed methane (CBM) and the outburst of gas in a coal mine are closely related to the nanopore structure of coal. The evolutionary characteristics of 12 coal nanopore structures under different natural deformational mechanisms (brittle and ductile deformation) are studied using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and low-temperature nitrogen adsorption. The results indicate that there are mainly submicropores (2~5 nm) and supermicropores (<2 nm) in ductile deformed coal and mesopores (10~100 nm) and micropores (5~10 nm) in brittle deformed coal. The cumulative pore volume (V) and surface area (S) in brittle deformed coal are smaller than those in ductile deformed coal which indicates more adsorption space for gas. The coal with the smaller pores exhibits a large surface area, and coal with the larger pores exhibits a large volume for a given pore volume. We also found that the relationship betweenSandVturns from a positive correlation to a negative correlation whenS>4 m2/g, with pore sizes <5 nm in ductile deformed coal. The nanopore structure (<100 nm) and its distribution could be affected by macromolecular structure in two ways. Interconversion will occur among the different size nanopores especially in ductile deformed coal.
