A thermodynamic investigation of adsorbate‐adsorbate interactions of carbon dioxide on nanostructured carbons

A thermodynamic study of carbon dioxide adsorption on a zeolite‐templated carbon (ZTC), a superactivated carbon (MSC‐30), and an activated carbon (CNS‐201) was carried out at temperatures from 241 to 478 K and pressures up to 5.5•106 Pa. Excess adsorption isotherms were fitted with generalized Langm...

Description
Summary:A thermodynamic study of carbon dioxide adsorption on a zeolite‐templated carbon (ZTC), a superactivated carbon (MSC‐30), and an activated carbon (CNS‐201) was carried out at temperatures from 241 to 478 K and pressures up to 5.5•106 Pa. Excess adsorption isotherms were fitted with generalized Langmuir‐type equations, allowing the isosteric heats of adsorption and adsorbed‐phase heat capacities to be obtained as a function of absolute adsorption. On MSC‐30, a superactivated carbon, the isosteric heat of carbon dioxide adsorption increases with occupancy from 19 to 21 kJ•mol−1, before decreasing at high loading. This increase is attributed to attractive adsorbate–adsorbate intermolecular interactions as evidenced by the slope and magnitude of the increase in isosteric heat and the adsorbed‐phase heat capacities. An analysis of carbon dioxide adsorption on ZTC indicates a high degree of binding‐site homogeneity. A generalized Law of Corresponding States analysis indicates lower carbon dioxide adsorption than expected. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 1026–1033, 2018
