Aiming to improve the reactive adsorption desulfurization(RADS) performances of Ni/Zn O adsorbents,ZnxAly(OH)2(CO3)z·x H2 O precursor is synthesized by coprecipitation of Zn2+,AlO-2,and CO2-3; the Zn OZn6A...Aiming to improve the reactive adsorption desulfurization(RADS) performances of Ni/Zn O adsorbents,ZnxAly(OH)2(CO3)z·x H2 O precursor is synthesized by coprecipitation of Zn2+,AlO-2,and CO2-3; the Zn OZn6Al2O9 composite oxides are obtained by the calcination of ZnxAly(OH)2(CO3)z·x H2 O precursor,and the Ni/Zn O-Zn6Al2O9(6.0 wt% Ni O) adsorbents are prepared by wetness impregnation method. The phase,acid strength,acid type and quantity,morphology,and thermal properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,pyridine-adsorbed infrared spectrum,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,and Thermo Gravimetry-Derivative Thermo Gravimetry(TG-DTG),respectively. The breakthrough sulfur capacities of six adsorbents are between 34.2 and 47.9 mg/gcat. The kinetic studies indicated that the active energy of RADS(49.4 k J/mol) could reach nano-sized Zn O,the particle size of is about 12.0 nm. All the excellent RADS performances can be due to the high SBET. Also,there are some extents of aromatization reactions that occur,which can be contributed to the B?nsted acid rooted in Zn6Al2O9 composite oxide,and the octane number of products can be preserved well.展开更多

The adsorbent was applied to the deep desulfur- ization of gasoline and showed a high breakthrough sulful capacity and a remarkably high volume hourly space velocity. The effects of coexisting olefins in gasoline as well as adsorptive conditions on the adsorptive perfor- mance were examined. It was found that olefins in gasoline had a slightly inhibiting effect on the desulfurization performance of the adsorbent. The optimum conditions were 673 K, 1.0 Mpa with a volume hourly space velocity of 60h^-1. Under the optimum conditions, ultralow sulfur gasoline could be produced and the breakthrough sulfur capacity of the adsorbent was 360 mg-s/g-sorb for the model gasoline.展开更多

The adsorption energies,molecular orbital analysis and structural changes at the adsorption site are indicative of covalent adsorption on the zigzag SWCNT surface,while the adsorption is physical on the armchair SWCNT surface. The density of states(DOS) Plot and the quantum molecular descriptors(QMD) are witness to the significant changes in the electronic properties of SWCNT systems after the attachment of adsorbed species to the tube surface. According to the calculated results,the single-walled carbon nanotubes are expected to be a potential efficient adsorbent for the adsorption of folic acid drug and also can be used as a suitable drug delivery vehicle within biological systems.展开更多

In...The waste gas evolved from biodegradation of animal urine contains ammonia causing environmental concerns. A new and effective method for removing ammonia from such waste gas using reactive adsorption is presented. In the process, activated carbon impregnated with H2SO4(H2SO4/C) is employed. Ammonia in the waste gas reacts with H2SO4 on the adsorbent instantaneously and completely to form (NIL)2SO4. The H2SO4/C adsorbent is high in NH3 adsorption capacity and regenerable. The NH3 removal capacity of this regenerable adsorbent is more than 30 times that of the adsorbents used normally in the industry. The spent H2SO4/C is regenerated by flowing low-pressure steam through the adsorbent bed to remove the (NH4)2SO4 from the adsorbent. The regeneration by-product is concentrated (NH4)2SO4 solution, which is a perfect liquid fertilizer for local use. Re-soaking the activated carbon with H2SO4 solution rejuvenates the activity of the adsorbent. Thus the H2SOJC can be reused repeatedly. In the mechanism of this reactive adsorption process, trace of H20 in the waste gas is a required, which lends itself to treating ammonia gas saturated with moisture from biodegradation of animal urine.展开更多

The effects of COS concentration, reaction temperature and relative humidity were closely examined. A breakthrough of 33.23 mg COS .gl adsorbent at 60℃, under 30% relative humidity and in presence of 1.0% oxygen was exhibited in the Cu-Co-K/AC adsorbent prepared. Competitive adsorption studies for COS in the presence of CS2, and H2S were also conducted. TPD analysis was used to identify sulfur-containing products on the carbon surface, and the results indicated that H2S, COS and SO2 were all evident in the effluent gas generated from the exhausted Cu-Co-K/AC. Structure of the activated carbon samples has been characterized using nitrogen adsorption, and their surface chemical structures were also determined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It turns out that the modification with Cu(OH)2CO3- CoPcS-KOH can significantly improve the COS removal capacity, forming SO2/4 species simultaneously. Regenera- tion of the spent activated carbon sorbents by thermal desorption has also been explored.展开更多
