Temperatur adsorption

Low-temperature adsorption of weak CH proton-donating molecules such as CHFj, acetylene and its derivatives or HCN, enables one to chai acterize the basicity of surface electron-donating sites. 

For a supported metal catalyst, the BET method yields the total surface area of support and metal. If we perform our measurements in the chemisorption domain, for example with H2 or CO at room temperature, adsorption is limited to the metallic phase, providing a way to determine the dispersion of the supported phase. 

The features due to adsorbed water and carbonates observed on the boehmite and y-alumina deserve further attention as they differ from results published by previous investigators. Figure 4 shows a series of difference spectra for adsorption on y-alumina. Spectra were taken after drying the y-alumina at 350 C, cooling to room temperature and carrying out room temperature adsorption. The spectra are the difference of the sample before and after adsorption. Spectrum 4e is the spectrum for the as received alumina differenced with the dried alumina. The positive band at 3400 cm" is due to adsorbed water, and the small negative feature at 3740 cm" is due to isolated hydroxyls on the dried surface. Besides the three... 

Figure 7. Total internal reflection sum frequency generation (TIR-SFG) vibrational spectroscopy of high-pressure room temperature adsorption of carbon monoxide on PVP-protected Pt cube monolayers and calcined (373 K, 3h) monolayers [27], The infrared spectra demonstrate CO is adsorbed at atop sites, but is considerably red-shifted on the PVP-protected Pt cubes. After calcination, the atop frequency blueshifts to 2085 cm in good agreement with CO adsorption on Pt(l 0 0) at high coverages [28], (Reprinted from Ref [27], 2006, with permission from American Chemical Society.)...

Figure 2 represents specific surface area of composites obtained as measured by low-temperature adsorption-desorption of argon in comparison to that calculated by the additive model. Over the entire range of sucrose content, excluding the end points corresponding to individual components the measured specific area of the composites obtained exceeds the values calculated by the additive model. The higher the amorphous carbon content... 

At low temperatures, adsorptive separation becomes important for zeolite membranes as sorption of one species can effectively hinder permeation of other species. 

Existence of a large amount of mesopores usually results in the appearance of capillary condensation hysteresis loop. Type II AIs transform to type IV, and type III AIs transform to type V Type VI AIs are characteristic to low-temperature adsorption of some noble gases over energetically homogeneous surfaces.

Surface diffusion has been extensively studied in literature. An overview of experimental data is given in Table 6.1. Okazaki, Tamon and Toei (1981), for example, measured the transport of propane through Vycor glass with a pore radius of 3.5 nm at 303 K and variable pressure (see Table 6.1). The corrected gas phase permeability was 0.69 m -m/m -h-bar, while the surface permeability was 0.55 m -m/m -h-bar, and so almost as large as the gas phase permeability (Table 6.1). It is clear from Table 6.1, that the effects of surface diffusion, especially at moderate temperatures, can be pronounced. At higher temperatures, adsorption decreases and it can be expected that surface diffusion will become less pronounced.

At a given temperature adsorption isotherms measure the number of adsorbed molecules as a function of pressure for the fluid that is in contact with the zeolite. The simplest form is the Langmuir isotherm which treats the zeolite as a collection of equivalent adsorption sites in the absence of adsorbate-adsorbate... 

The sorption process generally is studied by plotting the equilibrium concentration of a compound on the adsorbent, as a function of equilibrium concentration in the gas or solution at a given temperature. Adsorption isotherms are graphs obtained by plotting measured adsorption data against the concentration value of the adsorbate. Several mechanisms may be involved in the retention of contaminants on... 

In order to have localized adsorption with only physical interaction it is clear that either the interaction must be strong, or the kinetic energy of the adsorbed molecules must be small. As an example of the latter condition we have the work of Keesom and Schweers (24, 25) for low temperature adsorption of hydrogen and neon on glass. They assumed that the actual area of the glass was equal to the apparent area, and the results in Table IX were worked out for = 3 on that basis. The... 

When using the continuous flow method, however, some additional versatility is available in chemisorption measurements. For example, when data is required at an adsorbate pressure of 0.1 atm, a 10 % mixture of adsorbate, mixed with an inert carrier gas, is passed through the apparatus with the sample cooled to a temperature at which no chemisorption can occur. Upon warming the sample to the required temperature, adsorption occurs producing an adsorbate-deficient peak that is calibrated by injecting carrier gas into the flow stream. Equation (15.9) is then used to calculate the quantity adsorbed. This process is repeated for each concentration required. Caution must be exercised to avoid physical adsorption when the sample is cooled to prevent chemisorption. Should this occur, the adsorption peak due to chemisorption can be obscured by the desorption peak of physically bound adsorbate when the sample is heated. 

The complexity of the adsorption process, in particular its duality as illustrated above as well as in more recent data of Wicke (12), also shows in the irregular behavior of zinc oxide as a catalyst for the hydrogen-deuterium exchange (13). Thus this reaction proceeds at measurable rates at temperature as low as 14O K., indicating that at least part of the low-temperature adsorption is of the dissociating type. The apparent activation energy at low temperatures is low, but in the temperature... 

Room-temperature adsorption on finely divided metal catalysts has been shown in several cases (Ni/Si02 and Pt/Si02) to give rise to dissociative adsorption as alkylidynes and other products. It is therefore very clear that, contrary to often-expressed views, C-H bonds within the alkanes can readily be broken by interaction with metal catalyst surfaces. Methane is a very important feedstock and, although this may be the most resistant to chemisorption, there is clearly much further of interest to be discovered in this area involving interactions of light alkanes with different metals. 

Grassian and Pimentel (210) prepared such surface groups by thermal decomposition of cis- and frans -dichloroethenes at temperatures >200 K or by their photolysis at 110 K on Pt(lll). An ethyne type B spectrum was obtained, as had also been obtained from the direct low-temperature adsorption of ethyne on this surface (Section II.B.l).
