x-ray photoelectron and electron energy loss spectroscopic (xps-eels) studies reveal that the following species are present when a mixture of co2 and water vapour is exposed to the clean mg(100) surface at 110k: co3(a), c(a) ch(a), oh(a). the reactive chemisorptions of co2 and h2o vapour coadsorbed on a mg surface leads to the formation of ch bond. increasing the temperature to 400 k shows the ...

In this work we have evaluated the H2O and CO2 adsorption characteristics of Lewatit VP OC 1065 in view of the potential application of solid sorbents in post combustion CO2 capture. Here we present single component adsorption isotherms for H2O and CO2 as well as co-adsorption experiments. It was concluded that the sorbent material shows a high affinity in the adsorption of H2O. The adsorption ...

Introduction An understanding of how CO2 and H2O interact and affect each other’s behavior on adsorbent surfaces is essential for both theoretical study and industrial processes especially CO2 capture from wet flue gas streams. There are few reported studies on adsorption equilibrium for such a binary system. Rege and Yang [1] measured very low concentration of CO2/H2O vapor (<4.1% relative hum...

The infrared photodissociation spectra of [(CO2)n(H2O)m] (n = 1–4, m = 1, 2) are measured in the 3000–3800 cm range. The [(CO2)n(H2O)1] spectra are characterized by a sharp band around 3570 cm except for n = 1; [(CO2)1(H2O)1] does not photodissociate in the spectral range studied. The [(CO2)n(H2O)2] (n = 1, 2) species have similar spectral features with a broad band at ≈3340 cm. A drastic chang...

Electron-stimulated desorption of F and Cl from submonolayer CF2Cl2-covered Ru(0001) is strongly affected by coadsorption of polar molecules (H2O and NH3) and nonpolar rare-gas atoms (Xe, Kr, and Ar). Giant anionic enhancements (up to 102-104) are observed for polar molecules, which are several orders of magnitude higher than by nonpolar atoms. The giant enhancements are attributed to enhanced ...

Context. H2O is the most abundant component of astrophysical ices. In most lines of sight it is not possible to fit both the H2O 3 μm stretching, the 6 μm bending intensities with a single pure H2O spectrum. Recent Spitzer observations have revealed CO2 ice in high abundances and it has been suggested that CO2 mixed into H2O ice can affect the positions, shapes and relative strengths of the 3 μ...
