Study of the Temperature-Programmed Desorption of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) on Zeolites X Modified with Bivalent Cations

Study of physisorbed and chemisorbed carbon dioxide (CO2) species was carried out on the NaX zeolite modified by cationic exchanges with bivalent cations (Ca2+ and Ba2+) by temperature-programmed desorption of CO2 (CO2-TPD). Others results were obtained by infrared to complete the study. The results of this research showed, in the physisorption region (213 - 473 K), that the cationic exchanges on NaX zeolite with bivalent cations increase slightly the interactions of CO2 molecule with adsorbents and/or cationic site. Indeed, the desorption energies of physisorbed CO2 obtained on the reference zeolite NaX (13.5 kJ·mol-1) are lower than that of exchanged zeolites E-CaX and E-BaX (15.77 and 15.17 kJ·mol-1 respectively). In the chemisorbed CO2 region (573 - 873 K), the desorption energies related to desorbed species (bidentate carbonates: CO32-) on the exchanged zeolites E-CaX and E-BaX are about 81 kJ·mol-1, higher than the desorbed species (bicarbonates: HCO32-) on the reference R-NaX (62 kJ·mol-1). In addition, the exchanged E-BaX zeolite develops the secondary adsorption sites corresponding to bicarbonates species with desorption energies of 35 kJ·mol-1 lower to desorption energies of bicarbonates noted on the reference zeolite NaX.

废烟气脱硝催化剂中TiO_(2)资源化回收实验研究

采用高温碱浸和酸洗的方法对废选择性催化还原(SCR)脱硝催化剂进行处理,研究碱浸和酸洗对催化剂各组分的浸出效果,考察温度对催化剂浸出行为的影响规律。结果表明,碱浸温度的提高促进V和W的浸出,210℃时V和W的浸出率分别为82.38%和74.92%。经高温碱浸和酸洗处理后,Al、Ca、Na等杂质的最高浸出率均可达98%以上,回收TiO_(2)的纯度较高,可用于生产新催化剂。高温碱浸会破坏催化剂的结构,有利于后续HCl处理对杂质的去除,除杂效果优于直接酸洗处理。高温碱浸过程中会生成Na_(2)TiO_(3),经HCl反应并水解后会形成新的TiO_(2)颗粒,形成更多的小孔,比表面积增大。

As a prevailing cathode material of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),LiCoO_(2)(LCO)still encounters the tricky problems of structural collapse,whose morphological engineering and cation doping are crucial for surmounting the mechanical strains and alleviating phase degradation upon cycling.Hereinafter,we propose a strategy using a zeolitic imidazolate framework(ZIF)as the self-sacrificing template to directionally prepare a series of LiNi_(0.1)Co_(0.9)O_(2)(LNCO)with tailorable electrochemical properties.The rational selection of sintering temperature imparts the superiority of the resultant products in lithium storage,during which the sample prepared at 700℃(LNCO-700)outperforms its counterparts in cyclability(156.8 mA h g^(-1)at 1 C for 200 cycles in half cells,1 C=275 mA g^(-1))and rate capability due to the expedited ion/electron transport and the strengthen mechanical robustness.The feasibility of proper Ni doping is also divulged by half/full cell tests and theoretical study,during which LNCO-700(167 mA h g^(-1)at 1 C for 100 cycles in full cells)surpasses LCO-700 in battery performance due to the mitigated phase deterioration,stabilized layered structu re,ameliorated electro nic co nductivity,a nd exalted lithium sto rage activity.This work systematically unveils tailorable electrochemical behaviors of LNCO to better direct their practical application.

Evaluation of Particle Properties of MgO/TiO2 Material by Monte Carlo Simulation Method

The simulation by the Monte Carlo method executed by the software PyPENELOPE proved effective to specify the particle propagation characteristics by calculating the absorption fractions, backscattering and transmission of electrons and secondary photons under the incidence of 0.5 to 20 KeV range of primary electrons. More than 99.9% of the primary electrons were transmitted in the 125 nm thick MgO/TiO2 material at 20 KeV. This occurred because several interactions took place in the transmitted primary irradiation such as characteristic, fluorescence, and bremsstrahlung produced when of the occupation of the KL3, KL2, KM3, and KM2 shell and sub-shell of titanium and magnesium which are the elements with a high atomic number in the material. The transmission particle characteristic of this material is therefore an indicator capable of improving the electrical performance and properties of the sensor.

TiO2-PES Fibrous Composite Material for Ammonia Removal Using UV-A Photocatalyst

This study focused on the development and characterization of TiO2-PES composite fibers with varying TiO2 loading amounts using a phase inversion process. The resulting composite fibers exhibited a sponge-like structure with embedded TiO2 nanoparticles within a polymer matrix. Their photocatalytic performance for ammonia removal from aqueous solutions under UV-A light exposure was thoroughly investigated. The findings revealed that PeTi8 composite fibers displayed superior adsorption capacity compared to other samples. Moreover, the study explored the impact of pH, light intensity, and catalyst dosage on the photocatalytic degradation of ammonia. Adsorption equilibrium isotherms closely followed the Langmuir model, with the results indicating a correlation between qm values of 2.49 mg/g and the porous structure of the adsorbents. The research underscored the efficacy of TiO2 composite fibers in the photocatalytic removal of aqueous under UV-A light. Notably, increasing the distance between the photocatalyst and the light source resulted in de-creased hydroxyl radical concentration, influencing photocatalytic efficiency. These findings contribute to our understanding of TiO2 composite fibers as promising photocatalysts for ammonia removal in water treatment applications.

In-situ incorporation of halloysite nanotubes with 2D zeolitic imidazolate framework-L based membrane for dye/salt separation

Layered assembled membranes of 2D leaf-like zeolitic imidazolate frameworks(ZIF-L)nanosheets have received great attention in the field of water treatment due to the porous structure and excellent antibacterial ability,but the dense accumulation on the membrane surface and the low permeate flux greatly hinder their application.Herein,we synthesized m HNTs(modified halloysite nanotubes)/ZIF-L nanocomposites on modified m HNTs by in situ growth method.Interestingly,due to the different size of m HNTs and ZIF-L,m HNTs were packed in ZIF-L nanosheets.The hollow m HNTs provided additional transport channels for water molecules,and the accumulation of the ZIF-L nanosheets was decreased after assembling m HNTs/ZIF-L nanocomposites into membrane by filtration.The prepared m HNTs/ZIF-L membrane presented high permeate flux(59.6 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1)),which is 2-4 times of the ZIF-L membranes(14.8 L·m^(-2)·h^(-1)).Moreover,m HNTs/ZIF-L membranes are intrinsically antimicrobial,which exhibit extremely high bacterial resistance.We provide a controllable strategy to improve 2D ZIF-L assembles,and develops novel membranes using 2D package structure as building units.

Fabrication of lithium silicates from zeolite for CO2 capture at high temperatures

Li4Si O4 has been regarded as one of the most promising high-temperature CO2 sorbents.However,for practical applications,its CO2sorption kinetics,cycling stability and sorption properties at lower temperatures or lower CO2 concentrations have to be improved.In this contribution,four Li4Si O4 sorbents were synthesized from zeolite precursors MCM-41,MCM-48,TS-1,and ZSM-5.The CO2 uptake,cycling stability and the optimal CO2 sorption conditions were investigated.Among the samples,MCM-41-Li4Si O4 showed the best cycling stability at 650°C,with a stable reversible CO2 uptake of 29.1 wt%under 100 vol%CO2 during 20 cycles.But its sorption kinetics and CO2 uptakes at lower temperatures and lower CO2 concentrations need to be improved.We then demonstrated that the sorption kinetics can be improved by modifying the MCM-41 precursor with metals such as Al,Ti,Ca,and Na.The Na-MCM-41-Li4Si O4 sample exhibited the highest sorption rate,and reached the equilibrium sorption capacity close to the theoretical value of 36.7 wt%within 20 min.In addition,we proved that coating the MCM-41-Li4Si O4with Na2CO3and K2CO3can significantly increase the CO2uptakes at lower temperatures(e.g.550℃)and lower CO2concentrations(10–20 vol%).At 550℃ and under 20 vol%CO2,15 wt%K2CO3-MCM-41-Li4Si O4 and 10 wt%Na2CO3-MCM-41-Li4Si O4 sorbents resulted in a CO2 uptake of 32.2 wt%and 34.7 wt%,respectively,which are much higher than that of MCM-41-Li4Si O4(11.8 wt%).These two sorbents also showed good cycling stability.The promoiting mechasnim by alkali carbonate coating was discussed by a doubleshell model.

Preparation of Calcium Cross-linked Nano-Fe3O4 Modified Zeolite Microspheres for Cu^2+ Adsorption from Wastewater

Artificial zeolite was modified by nano-Fe3O4 for development of functional adsorbents.Subsequently,adsorbents such as calcium cross-linked nano-Fe3O4 microspheres (Ca-MS),calcium cross-linked nano-Fe3O4 modified zeolite microspheres (Ca-MZS) and iron cross-linked nano-Fe3O4 modified zeolite microspheres (Fe-MZS) were prepared and compared for their adsorption performance.The effects of adsorbent dosage,solution pH,initial concentration and ion content on the removal of Cu^2+ from wastewater are investigated,and the adsorption kinetics and isotherms for the adsorbent materials were analyzed.The experimental results indicate that for the initial concentration of Cu^2+ of 30 mg/L,the adsorption is noted to be most stable.The optimal initial pH for adsorbing Cu^2+ is observed to be 5.5.At an optimal dosage of Ca-MZS of 900 mg/L,the adsorption capacity is measured to be 28.25 mg/g,along with the removal rate of 72.49%.The addition of Na+ and K+ affects the adsorption of Cu^2+.For the Na^+ and K^+ concentration of 0.2 mmol/L,the Cu^2+ removal rate by Ca-MZS drops to 11.94% and 22.12%,respectively.As compared with the adsorbents such as Natural Zeolite (NZ),Ca-MS and Fe-MZS,Ca-MZS demonstrates the best removal effect in solution,where the removal rate reaches 84.27%,with the maximum adsorption capacity of 28.09 mg/g.The Cu^2+ adsorption kinetics of Ca-MZS is observed to follow the Elovich kinetic model,with the adsorption isotherm data fitting the Freundlich isotherm model by using the non-linear method.

Boosting Zn||I_(2) Battery’s Performance by Coating a Zeolite‑Based Cation‑Exchange Protecting Layer

The intrinsically safe Zn||I_(2) battery,one of the leading candidates aiming to replace traditional Pb-acid batteries,is still seriously suffering from short shelf and cycling lifespan,due to the uncontrolled I_(3)^(−)-shuttling and dynamic parasitic reactions on Zn anodes.Considering the fact that almost all these detrimental processes terminate on the surfaces of Zn anodes,modifying Zn anodes’surface with protecting layers should be one of the most straightforward and thorough approaches to restrain these processes.Herein,a facile zeolite-based cation-exchange protecting layer is designed to comprehensively suppress the unfavored parasitic reactions on the Zn anodes.The negatively-charged cavities in the zeolite lattice provide highly accessible migration channels for Zn^(2+),while blocking anions and electrolyte from passing through.This low-cost cation-exchange protecting layer can simultaneously suppress self-discharge,anode corrosion/passivation,and Zn dendrite growth,awarding the Zn||I_(2) batteries with ultra-long cycle life(91.92%capacity retention after 5600 cycles at 2 A g^(−1)),high coulombic efficiencies(99.76%in average)and large capacity(203–196 mAh g^(−1) at 0.2 A g^(−1)).This work provides a highly affordable approach for the construction of high-performance Zn-I_(2) aqueous batteries.

Stellerite-seeded facile synthesis of zeolite X with excellent aqueous Cd^(2+)and Ni^(2+)adsorption performance

Zeolite X was synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method using natural stellerite zeolite as the silicon seed,and its adsorption performance for Cd^(2+)and Ni^(2+)ions was experimentally and comprehensively investigated.The effects of p H,zeolite X dosage,contact time,and temperature on adsorption performance for Cd^(2+)and Ni^(2+)ions over were studied.The adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous,and followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm models.The maximum adsorption capacitiesfor Cd^(2+)and Ni^(2+)ions at 298 K were 173.553 and 75.897 mg.g-1,respectively.Ion exchange and precipitation were the principal mechanisms for the removal of Cd^(2+)ions from aqueous solutions by zeolite X,followed by electrostatic adsorption.Ion exchange was the principal mechanisms for the removal of Ni^(2+)ions from aqueous solutions by zeolite X,followed by electrostatic adsorption and precipitation.The zeolite X converted from stellerite zeolite has a low n(Si/Al),abundant hydroxyl groups,and high crystallinity and purity,imparting a good adsorption performance for Cd^(2+)and Ni^(2+)ions.This study suggests that zeolite X converted from stellerite zeolite could be a useful environmentally-friendly and effective tool for the removal of Cd^(2+)and Ni^(2+)ions from aqueous solutions.

Preparation and characterization of Ag^+ ion-exchanged zeolite-Matrimid~5218 mixed matrix membrane for CO_2/CH_4 separation

In this work, the zeolite-Y was ion-exchanged by introducing silver cations into the framework of microsized nano-porous sodium zeolite-Y using a liquid-phase ion exchanged method. The Ag+ion-exchanged zeolite, was then embedded into the Matrimid5218 matrix to form novel mixed matrix membranes(MMMs). The particles and MMMs were characterized by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV–vis DRS), N2adsorption–desorption isotherm, X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). Furthermore, the effects of filler content(0–20wt%) on pure and mixed gas experiments, feed pressure(2–20 bar) and operating temperature(35–75 oC)on CO2/CH4transport properties of Matrimid/Ag Y MMMs were considered. Characterization results confirmed an appropriate ion-exchange treatment of the zeolites. The SEM results confirmed the superior interfacial adhesion between polymer and zeolites, particularly in the case of Matrimid/Ag Y membranes.This is due to the proper silverous zeolite/Matrimid functional groups’ interactions. The gas permeation results showed that the CO2permeability increased about 123%, from 8.34 Barrer for pure Matrimid to18.62 Barrer for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The CO2/CH4selectivity was improved about 66%, from 36.3 for Matrimid to 60.1 for Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%). The privileged gas separation performance of Matrimid/Ag Y(15 wt%) was the result of a combined effect of facilitated transport mechanism of Ag+ions as well as the intrinsic surface diffusion mechanism of Y-type zeolite. In order to survey the possibility of using the developed MMMs in industry, the CO2-induced plasticization effect and mixed gas experiment were accomplished. It was deduced that the fabricated MMMs could maintain the superior performance in actual operating conditions.

Structural Changes of Y Zeolites with Different Initial SiO_2/Al_2O_3 Ratios during Hydrothermal Treatment

The effects of the initial framework SiO2/Al2O3 ratio and temperature on the structural changes of NaY zeolites during hydrothermal treatments are studied. Two samples with different framework SiO2/Al2O3 ratios are subjected to hydrothermal treatment at four different temperatures. For zeolite with a lower initial SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 4.2, mesopores are easily formed because more framework aluminum is detached. Moreover, two kinds of mesopores are produced at a higher temperature due to the interconnection of vacancies and smaller mesopores. For zeolite with a higher initial SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 6.0, there are less mesopores formed as compared with the lower initial SiO2/Al2O3 ratio sample, but there are some macropores formed. This may be attributed to the isolation of vacancies and the different distributions of aluminum in the crystal lattice of the zeolite. The experiment data show that NaY with the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio of 6.0 retains a high relative crystallinity during the hydrothermal treatment. This proves that a high framework SiO2/Al2O3 ratio benefits the stability of zeolite.

Improved Stability and Shape Selectivity of 2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene by Methylation of Naphthalene with Methanol on Modified Zeolites

2,6-Dimethylnaphthalene (2,6-DMN) is a key intermediate for polyethylene naphthalate synthesis. The selective synthesis of 2,6-DMN from naphthalene and methanol was carried out over different zeolites (HZSM-5, Hβ, HUSY and SAPO-11) modified by 0.1wt% PdO under atmospheric pressure. Among the adopted zeolites, SAPO-11 exhibits exceptional shape-selectivity and stability to synthesize 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene from methylation of naphthalene, due to the special pore structure of SAPO-11 which inosculated better with 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene than with 2,7-dimethylnaphthalene.
