Abstract:Conventional methanol recovery and purification processes
are highly
energy-intensive; processes using selective adsorbents that consume
low energy are preferable. However, conventional adsorbents have low
methanol selectivity under humid conditions. In this study, we develop
a selective methanol adsorbent, manganese hexacyanocobaltate (MnHCC),
which enables the efficient removal of methanol from waste gas and
its subsequent reuse. MnHCC adsorbs 4.8 mmol-methanol/g-adsorbent
at 25 °C in a humid gas containing … Show more
Manganese hexacyanoferrate, a Prussian blue analog, exhibits superior methanol adsorption capacity from aqueous solutions compared to existing adsorbents.
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.
