Carbon dioxide, adsorption/storage

Adsorption microcalorimetry, finally, allows to check the differential enthalpies of adsorption derived from various adsorption isotherms through the isosteric method. What is more, it is much safer and meaningful in the first, raising, part of the isotherm, specially when it is close to the ordinate, such as for instance for carbon dioxide adsorption. This part is probably the most interesting from the viewpoint of specific interactions and gas separation or storage. 

The aim of this woric is to contribute to the design and devdopmmt of adsorbmts for a hyrhogen storage system suitable for mobile qi cations. To fins md, miphasis is put on the exploitation of the results of nitrogen, hydro n and carbon dioxide adsorption at very low relative pressures in order to evaluate the miooporDus structure of two alumina-pillared clays treated at several temperatures. 

The TRM runs of N02 adsorption in the presence of C02 on the ternary Pt—Ba/Al203 catalyst at 350°C (Figure 6.8a) showed that, like in the absence of C02, (see Figure 6.3), the NO adsorption occurred via N02 disproportionation with evolution of NO. Also in the presence of carbon dioxide, the NO storage is accompanied by N02 decomposition on Pt sites, with evolution of NO and 02. 

The activation of char, obtained from the pyrolysis of post-consumer PET bottles, with carbon dioxide at 925°C leads to highly porous materials. After a burn-off of 76% a BET area of 2500 m is reached. This material shows similar or better hydrogen adsorption properties than high-tech carbon materials such as nanotubes [40]. It was possible to charge the carbon with 2.3 wt% hydrogen at — 196°C. This fact opens the way for the use of this low-cost material as hydrogen storage. 

Handling, Storage, and Precautions conversion of the freshly distilled amine to its hydrochloride salt is a convenient way to store and handle the compound. The free amine reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce the respective carbonate. The free amine should be stored tightly sealed under argon or nitrogen immediately after distillation to avoid CO2 adsorption. 

Ceria and alumina, which form the intermediate porous layer (the washcoat) between the mechanical support and the supported metals and promotors, are important components in three-way catalysts (TWC) used for car exhaust gas cleaning. Although basie studies have been published on such systems [1], the interactions which can exist between alumina and eeria and which in turn may affect the interactions between the supported metal and the washcoat [2], are not fully understood. In particular, the multiple roles attributed to ceria, like stabilization of the alumina [3], of the supported metals [4], like storage and release of oxygen [2], are veiy probably dependent on preparation methods, activation and reaction conditions. Therefore, selective characterization of each oxide in ceria-alumina can be useful for a better imderstanding of the role played by both alumina and ceria in TWC. The present work describes two "ehemical methods", the adsorption of carbon dioxide followed by IR spectroseopy and the temperature-progranuned reduction (TPR), which lead to an estimation of the surface extent of alumina and ceria respectively. 

Microporous materials have been proved to have the potential application in gas storage and separation by physical adsorption during last decades [46]. Such application is usually based on the presence of a large permanent surface area, suitable pore size distribution, and suitable enthalpy of adsorption between micropore and gas molecules of porous sorbents. Recent research revealed that microporous materials are considered as potential carbon capture media due to their relatively weak physical interaction with carbon dioxide, which renders the recovery of the gas and recycling of the sorbent less energy...
