The understanding of methane adsorption is important for many industrial applications, especially for the shale gas production, where it is critical to understand the adsorption/desorption of methane in pores even as small as a few nanometers. Using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), we have studied the adsorption of deuterated methane (CD4) into one model mesoporous material, SBA-15, with ...

A Cu−carborane-based metal−organic framework (MOF), NU-135, which contains a quasi-spherical para-carborane moiety, has been synthesized and characterized. NU-135 exhibits a pore volume of 1.02 cm/g and a gravimetric BET surface area of ca. 2600 m/g, and thus represents the first highly porous carborane-based MOF. As a consequence of the unique geometry of the carborane unit, NU-135 has a very ...

Gas hydrates are non-conventional materials offering great potential in capturing, storage, and sequestration of different gases. The weak van der Waals interactions between a gas molecule the pore walls stabilize these non-stoichiometric structures. present article reports an ab initio improved density functional (vdW-DF2) study devoted to associated with H2, CH4, CO2 adsorption sI clathrate h...

increase in the surface area, demonstrating that the Fe(III) ions work by making the resin porous. The use of these two metal ions enables efRcient NO adsorption. The polymeric resin as well as the metal complex itself greatly affects the adsorbing ability for the target gas molecules as described in the case of CO, C2H4, and NO adsorption. It has been demonstrated clearly that large surface ar...

In this research, the effects of B, O and B&O−doped on the SO2 gas adsorption on the surface of the (4, 4) armchair AlNNTs are investigated by using DFT method. From optimized structures the geometrical and electrical properties, adsorption energy, gap energy, global hardness, electrical potential, HOMO−LUMO orbitals, density of states (DOS) plots, electrostatic potential (ESP) plots and NMR pa...

rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. in order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...

Porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) represent a new type of functional materials and have recently become a hot research field due to their great potential in various applications. In this review, recent progress of gas adsorption applications of porous MOFs, mainly including hydrogen storage, methane storage, and selective gas adsorption will be briefly summarized.

The knowledge gap on adsorption of complex mixtures in the literature relative to single component data represents a persistent obstacle developing accurate process models for separations. collection mixed gas is an imminent need improved understanding behavior adsorbent systems these diverse applications. Current approaches mixture using predictive theories based pure experiments often fail ca...

We present experimentally measured adsorption isotherms of CO2, H2, and N2 on a phenol-formaldehyde resin-based activated carbon, which had been previously synthesized for the separation of CO2 in a precombustion capture process. The single component adsorption isotherms were measured in a magnetic suspension balance at three different temperatures (298, 318, and 338 K) and over a large range o...

Gas transport in unconventional shale strata is a multi-mechanism-coupling process that is different from the process observed in conventional reservoirs. In micro fractures which are inborn or induced by hydraulic stimulation, viscous flow dominates. And gas surface diffusion and gas desorption should be further considered in organic nano pores. Also, the Klinkenberg effect should be considere...
