Characterization of active carbons by combined preadsorption and immersion techniques

Abstract: The preadsorption of n-nonane or n-undecane to various degrees of micropore filling, followed by immersion calorimetry into different liquids, has been examined for a set of well characterized active carbons. This approach provides a refined picture of the structural and chemical properties of the carbons, in particular the change in the hydrophilic character following the preadsorption of an organic vapour. The accessibility of triethylenediamine (TEDA), after preadsorption, is also examined.

“…Also discussions are reported in the literature about the size of the micropores that are filled or blocked by n-nonane [3,4]. Because of the importance of micropores in many processes like separation, adsorption and so, since long scientists are trying to determine the micropore size distribution.…”

“…However, the model may be refined by considering a variable density and/or a correlation between the adsorption centres. This requires further information on the carbon and the use of techniques such as immersion calorimetry combined with the preadsorption of an nalkane [32]. The model of ideally slit-shaped micropores and the exact location of the oxygen atoms may be questioned and must be examined again, in particular in the light of new structural models for the micropores, as put forward recently by Py et al [33].…”

“…For carbons DCG-5-ox and CMS-ox, this amounts to, respectively, 2.59 and 6.34 atoms per nm 2 . However, variations of the surface density cannot be ruled out, and in the case of carbon DCG-5-ox an even better agreement can be obtained for the initial part of the isotherm if one assumes a density of 2. immersion into water, following the preadsorption of increasing amounts of n-nonane or n-undecane [32] (For a uniform density, the enthalpy shows a linear decrease with preadsorption). However, the origin of the change in density cannot be explained at this stage.…”

“…As shown by Lavanchy et al (1996), the binary adsorption of vapours by microporous solids can be described by a combination of the theories of Myers and Prausnitz (Myers and Prausnitz 1965;Valenzuela and Myers 1989) and of Dubinin (Dubinin 1989;Stoeckli 1993Stoeckli , 1995. The new approach, called the MPD theory, provides a useful basis for the calculation of the adsorption under static and dynamic conditions .…”
