Abstract:In this study, the preparation of the composite material consisting of expanded vermiculite (EV) and potassium carbonate (K2CO3) was conducted using a solution impregnation method. Sorption and desorption experiments were undertaken to investigate the dynamic and thermodynamic properties of the EV/K2CO3 composites with varying salt contents. The findings suggest that the EV/K2CO3 composites effectively address the issues of solution leakage resulting from the deliquescence and excessive hydration of pure K2CO3… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
