Abstract
The adsorption of the tertiary aromatic amide alachlor by Na-montmorillonite and Al-polyhydroxy-montmorillonite was investigated by DTA, XRD, SEM and Thermo-FTIR Spectroscopy. This molecule is adsorbed into the interlayer space of the montmorillonite, replacing interlayer water. In this organo-clay complex the interlayer water forms hydrogen bonds with N or O atoms of the tertiary amide group. Samples which were aged during six months degraded by hydrolysis to give mainly secondary amide. This reaction was catalysed by Al-polyhydroxy-montmorillonite more than by Na-montmorillonite.
Abstract
Jntti introduced a method to reduce the time required for the stepwise measurement of adsorption isotherms. After each pressure change he measured the adsorbed mass three times and calculated its equilibrium value at the new pressure. In the present paper, we discuss the applicability of this method in a broader scope without starting from a given combination of sorptive and adsorbent and the influence of measuring inaccuracies. The method is applied to detect whether the adsorption process is based on more than one adsorption mechanism or not.
Abstract
The influence of microporous carbon surface oxidation on energetics of methane adsorption at 308 K is discussed. Obtained adsorption heats and integral molar entropies of the adsorbate show that microporous carbon surface oxidation changes the methane adsorption process. This is probably resulted by the existence of an endothermic effect during adsorption in oxidized carbon micropores.
Abstract
Adsorption of n-pentane, triethylamine, diethyl ether, acetonitrile and chloroform has been investigated on pyrogenic alumina (S=140 m2 g−1). The results of our studies have shown the presence of active sites on the surface of pyrogenic alumina with irreversible adsorption of electron-donating molecules and CHCl3 and the dependence of energetic surface properties on electronic structure of adsorbate, quantity of adsorbed substance and hydration degree of the surface. On the hydrated oxide surface the water molecules screen the active sites of the surface, which resulted in changing of interaction energy of adsorbent-adsorbate and decreasing the region of irreversible adsorption of organic bases and CH-acid.
Abstract
A new adsorption isotherm equation based on the extension of the potential theory of adsorption on microporous fractal solids and corresponding thermodynamic functions were formulated and applied for description of the experimental data of adsorption on a microporous carbon. The comparison of the obtained results with the original Dubinin-Astakhov equation is presented. In this paper the dependence of thermodynamic functions (the differential molar enthalpy of adsorption ΔH and the differential molar entropy of adsorption ΔS) on the fractal dimension D are discussed, as well.
Abstract
DSC and TG-DTA techniques were used to investigate micro-sized silver powder particles and the adsorption of ethyl cellulose on these particles in a solution of ethyl acetate. The apparent specific heat of the silver particles was determined, and the kinetics of temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) of these adsorbed silver particles was investigated. Results show that the apparent specific heat and desorption kinetic parameters obtained by thermal analysis techniques could be used to characterize certain physico-chemical properties of such a particulate system.
Abstract
Jntti introduced a method to calculate the adsorption equilibrium by measuring the actual adsorbed amount three times after a change to the gas pressure. By this method the experimental time for adsorption measurement can be considerably shortened. The procedure was developed for use in adsorption measurements where the adsorbed masses are directly measured with a balance. In the present paper we will demonstrate that the method is particularly useful in volumetric (manometric) measurements.
Abstract
The interaction of a powder with vapours or their wettability by liquids are involved in many industrial processes and then needs to be studied by simple and reproducible methods. Two microcalorimetric methods, one for the simultaneous measurement of adsorption isotherm and enthalpy and the other for the determination of wetting or immersion energy, are described. A few examples are given for the adsorption and wetting of powders by water and organic vapours.
