The isotherms recorded for CH4 and N2 follow a typical type-Ι behavior, which were fitted well with the Sips model(R2>0.999) and the selectivity was calculated using IAST theory. The results reveal that Chabazite-K has the highest selectivity(SCH4/N= 5.5).2 SSZ-13 has the largest capacity, which can adsorb up to a maximum of 30.957 cm3·g-1(STP) of CH4, due to it having the largest pore volume and surface area, but the lowest selectivity(SCH4/N2= 2.5). From the breakthrough test, we can conclude that SSZ-13 may be a suitable candidate for the recovery of CH4 from low concentration methane(CH4<20%) based on its larger pore volume and higher CH4 capacity. Chabazite-K is more suited to the separation of high concentration methane(CH4>50%) due to its higher selectivity.展开更多

XRD, FT-IR and DRS UV-Vis techniques were used to characterize the samples. The results indicate incorporation of Cr into the MCM-41 framework, and dispersion of some CrsO3 on the surface or/and in the bulk of the MCM-41. Test of catalytic properties of the series of samples for the topic reaction was carried out using a continuous-flow fixed-bed quartz reactor. Factors influencing the catalytic performance for this title reaction, such as Cr/Si ratio in MCM- 41 and reaction temperature were investigated. The experimental results indicate that over the 5%CrMCM-41 a 43.27% conversion of ethane and a 86.70% selectivity for ethylene were achieved in the ethane dehydrogenation with COs to ethylene at 973 K. It is suggested that both Cr^6＋ and Cr^3＋ are the catalytic activity center.展开更多

Technical parameters of preparation for Ti/13X were determined by removal efficiency of simulation dyeing wastewater containing reactive bright-red X-3B （shorted by X-3B）. In various preparation parameters, the influence of Ti loaded on 13X molecular sieves on X-3B removal efficiency is most important. The optimum condition for volume of TiCI4 loaded on 13X molecular sieves is 8 ml at 95.9%, produced sample referred as M8. M8 was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction （XRD）, Scanning Electron Microscope （SEM）. XRD patterns of M8 revealed the incorporation of titanium into framework of 13X molecular sieves, due to the presence ofTiO2 anatase phase. SEM image showed that M8 has a large number of wormhole-like channels, in comparison with that of 13X molecular sieves. The photocatalytic tests were carried out for degradation of X-3B. The results showed that the dosage of Ti/13X, reaction time, pH, and concentration of X-3B influence the X-3B removal efficiency. The optimum conditions of photodegradation as the following： MS/X-3B ratio, Conc. is 0.3 g/l, reaction time is 120 rain, pH is 2-6. The photodegradation reaction of Ti/13X with X-3B followed first order kinetics. The rate constants and t1/2 for M8 sample at 0.3 g/l M8/ X-3B solution ratio were 430 min^-1 and 16 min, respectively.展开更多

A silica sol was mixed with nanocrystals of zeolite 4A in a suitable proportion, then the supported membranes was prepared by dip-coating method. The composite membranes prepared in first step was treated hydrothermally again, so nanocrystal zeolite 4A formed and located in the mesopores of the membranes, and the microstructure and pore size distribution of the membrane were modified greatly. The thermal stability, mineral phase, microstructure, and pore size distribution were examined via DTA-TG, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and BET equipment. The structure of the composite membranes remains high stability below 800 ℃. Its average pore size in a very limited range is smaller than that in the untreated membranes in hydrothermal condition, and the peak bands of the membrane pores are 4×10 -10 m, 1.8×10 -9 m, respectively.展开更多

Effects of the supports regarding pore structures and pore properties, the PEI loading amount as well as the sorption temperature were examined. Furthermore, polyethylene glycol（PEG） was introduced as an additive into the sorbents and its effect was investigated at different PEI loadings and sorption temperatures. The results suggest that the pore properties of MBS（after PEI loading） play a more important role in the COsorption capacity, rather than those of the supports alone.MBS with 3D pore structure exhibits higher COsorption capacity and amine efficiency than those with 2D-structured support. Among the sorbents studied, fumed silica（HS-5） based MBS showed the highest COsorption capacity in the temperature range of 30-95 °C, probably due to its unique interstitial pores formed by the aggregation of polymer-loaded SiOparticles. It was found that the temperature dependence is directly related to the PEI surface coverage layers. The more PEI surface coverage layers, the higher diffusion barrier for COand the stronger temperature dependence of COcapacity. 3D MBS exceeds 2D MBS at the same PEI coverage layers due to lower diffusion barrier. Adding PEG can significantly enhance the COsorption capacity and improve amine efficiency of all MBS, most likely by alleviating the diffusion barrier within PEI bulk layers through the inter-molecular interaction between PEI and PEG.展开更多
