Nickel 2-ethylimidazolate was obtained and characterized, which is used in this work as a sorbent for the removal of copper (II) ions. The sample characterization was carried out by scanning electron microscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption. It was found that the obtained sorbent is a microheterogeneous material with the size of individual particles in the range of 0.4-0.7 μm. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms in the pores of nickel 2-ethylimidazolate were obtained. It was found that when processing the experimental data in linear coordinates of TVFM, linearization is reached in coordinates lnV-lnPs/P, which indicates the predominance of mesopores in the structure of nickel 2-ethylimidazolate. The total pore volume was determined from the TVFM linear coordinates. It was 0.21 cm3/g. According to obtained differential pore size distribution, the most probable average pore radius corresponds to 7.5 nm. One of the main characteristics of nickel 2-ethylimidazolate as a sorbent, the surface area was determined by the A.V. Kiselev method and amounted to 703.56 m2/g. The efficiency verification of using nickel 2-ethylimidazolate in the heavy metal ions sorption processes was carried out by removal of copper(II) ions from aqueous solutions by the limited solution volume method at different contact times. The copper(II) sorption kinetics in the presence of nickel 2-ethylimidazolate was studied by processing experimental data in the first and second orders linear coordinates. It was found that the adsorption kinetics of copper(II) ions is described by a second order model, which indicated ion-exchange adsorption. Equilibrium adsorption capacity in the sorbent-solution system is reached at a contact time of 90-120 min.

Activity test and regeneration of NiMo/active natural zeolite catalyst for hydrocracking of waste plastic fraction of polyprophylene (PP) type have been carried out. The catalysts was prepared by loading Mo followed by Ni Metals onto the natural zeolite (Z) sample, then calcined at 500oC, oxidized and reduced at 400oC under nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen stream, respectively. The characterization of catalysts including spesific surface area, average pore radius, and total pore volume were performed by gas sorption analyzer, amount of total acid sites was determined by gas sorption method, and acid site strength was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. The hydrocracking process was carried out in a semi-flow reactor system at 360 oC and catalyst:feed ratio 0.5 under hydrogen stream (150 mL/hour). The feed was vaporized from the pyrolisis reactor into the hydrocracking reactor. A liquid product was collected and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The characterization results showed that spesific surface area, average pore radius, and total pore volume of the Z sample decreased after loading of the Ni and Mo metals. Amount of total acid sites of the NiMo/Z catalyst was higher than that of the Z sample. The activity of NiMo/Z catalyst decreased after several continously runs. Its regeneration produced the NiMo/Z reg catalyst with similar activity and selectivity to the fresh catalyst (NiMo/Z). The activity of catalysts at the optimum condition followed the order of NiMo/Z reg>NiMo/Z>Z (conversion of hydrocarbon C>12) and NiMo/Z reg>NiMo/Z>Z (total yield of gasoline fraction). The selectivity of catalysts for C7-C8 product followed the order of Z>NiMo/Z>NiMo/Z reg. Keywords: activity, polyprophylene, catalyst, gasoline fraction.

A three-factor-three-level experiment was developed by the central composite design (CCD) and Response surface methodology to discuss the effects of concentration of K2CO3, activation temperature and time on the adsorption capacity of the activated carbon (AC) derived from the rice husk and to identify the key preparation parameters. The performance of the AC was characterized by nitrogen adsorption isotherm as Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The optimal parameters were obtained: Rice husk was soaked in K2CO3 solution (2.32 mol/L) with an impregnation ratio (rice husk: K2CO3=1:3) (wt. %), activated at 1239 K for 0.48 h. The results showed that iodine adsorption capacity of the AC was 1268.52 mg/g, the error between the models predicted (1356.98 mg/g) was only 6.2%. The AC has a large apparent surface area (SBET = 1312 m2/g), total pore volume (0.78 cm3/g) and average pore diameter (11.92 Å).

CuO/Fe2O3 (1:1) was prepared by co-precipitation. Six thermal products (I–VI) were obtained by calcination in the temperature range 300–800°C. The structures of I–VI were determined from XRD patterns and they were also identified from electrical conductivity measurements in the temperature range 313–523 K. The textural properties were determined from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and the acidities of the thermal product were measured by pyridine chemisorption at 423 K. The decomposition of H2O2 over the catalysts I–VI was followed in the temperature range 303–323 K. Conversion of 2-propanol was investigated at 523 K. Calcination of CuO/Fe2O3 at 600°C resulted in partial transformation to CuFe2O4, this transformation predominating at 700°C and being complete at 800°C. Two mechanisms of electrical conduction are involved for catalysts calcined at 600–800°C depending on the temperature at which σ is measured. The surface area decreases and the average pore radius increases with increasing calcination temperature due to sintering and spinel formation. A mechanism is suggested for H2O2 decomposition and the activity and selectivity of the catalysts towards the conversion of 2-propanol are discussed.

It is shown that the open pore volume within carbon blacks can be calculated from nitrogen adsorption isotherms (77°K) on the blacks. From this volume and a helium density, the apparent density of a black can be calculated. Other properties of the blacks which then can be calculated are free surface area, internal surface area, surface roughness factor, and the average pore diameter of the internal surface. These data are presented for five selected carbon blacks.

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.

AbstractAnhydrous sol-gel condensation of triethyl phosphate [(CH3CH2O)3PO] with boron trichioride (BCl3), triethyl aluminum [(CH3CH2)3Al] or silicon tetrachloride [SiCI4] in organic solvents led to rigid gels. The pore fluid of the gels was removed under supercritical conditions in a pressurized vessel to form porous solids. The condensation chemistry prior to the gel point was monitored by solution 1H, 13C, 31P, and 11B NMR. The materials were then calcined at progressively higher temperatures to produce high surface area phosphates. Nitrogen gasphysisorption was used to determine the surface areas, total pore volume, and average pore radius of the products. FT-IR was used to determine functional groups in the materials. The microstructure was also examined by scanning electron microscopy.

Two series of MoO3/Al2O3 solids, having the nominal compositions 0.2MoO3: Al2O3 and 0.5MoO3:A12O3, were prepared by impregnating finely powdered Al(OH)3 samples with calculated amounts of ammonium molybdate solutions. The solids thus obtained were dried at 120°C and then calcined in air at temperatures varying between 400°C and 1000°C. The doped samples were prepared by treating Al(OH)3 with LiNO3 solutions prior to impregnation with ammonium molybdate. The dopant concentrations employed were 1.5 and 6.0 mol% Li2O, respectively. The surface characteristics, viz. the specific surface area (SBET), the total pore volume (VP) and the mean pore radius (r) of the various pure and doped solids were measured from nitrogen adsorption isotherms conducted at -196°C. The SBET data measured for different adsorbents calcined at various temperatures enabled the apparent activation energy for sintering (ΔE3) to be determined for all the adsorbents investigated. The results obtained reveal that the SBET value of the pure and doped solids decreased on increasing the calcination temperature in the range 400–1000°C. The decrease was, however, more pronounced when the calcination temperature increased from 500°C to 700°C due to the formation of Al2(MoO4)3. Lithium oxide doping decreased the SBET value of the solid samples investigated and also decreased the activation energy for sintering to an extent proportional to the amount of dopant present. The sintering process for the pure and doped solids proceeds, mainly, via a particle adhesion mechanism.
