The pore and wetting characteristics of bituminous coal and anthracite treated with different proportions of tetrasodium iminodisuccinate (IDS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) were measured. The pore structure characteristics of the coal were studied via low-temperature nitrogen adsorption analysis and the Frenkel-Halsey-Hill fractal theory. Zeta potential measurements were conducted to quantitatively analyze the degree of aggregation or dispersion of coal particles dissolved in solution. Changes in the coal surface morphology were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that when the ratio of IDS:SDS is 1:3, the specific surface area (SSA) values of bituminous coal and anthracite are the lowest. The composite reagent has a greater effect on improving the pore structure of anthracite than bituminous coal. Compared with bituminous coal, anthracite has better pore connectivity and a wider pore network. The absolute zeta potentials of bituminous coal and anthracite reach the maximum at an IDS:SDS ratio of 1:3, with values of 91.08 mV and 91.35 mV, respectively. The electrostatic potential distributions of the molecules show that the advantages of the electrostatic potential difference with water molecules enable IDS and SDS molecules to effectively attract water molecules and form hydrogen bonds, thus revealing the optimization mechanism of coal wettability .

A rapid and efficient synthesis strategy of MgAl-LDH was proposed. MgAl-LDH with high specific surface area was synthesized in situ by using η -Al 2 O 3 as carrier, and the synthesis time was greatly shortened by both increasing temperature and introducing ethanol as co-solvent. Besides, the growth process of MgAl-LDH on the surface of η -Al 2 O 3 is also revealed. Under optimized conditions, the specific surface area of the MgAl-LDH is as high as 172.4 m 2 /g, the crystalline size is as small as 12.82 nm, and the basicity can reach 1.795 mmol/g. The urea wastewater was degraded from 8000 mg/L to 6.85 mg/L over the catalyst synthesized by the rapid method, and the catalyst still maintains high activity after four uses. Also, it was found that there is a good linear relationship between the urea removal rate and the basicity of MgAl-LDH.

Adsorption isotherms of pure C2H4 and C3H6 were measured on 11 adsorbents and at pressures up to 0.8 MPa using a volumetric method. The Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area of the adsorbents had a significant effect on adsorption capacities of both C2H4 and C3H6. The metal organic framework MIL-101 had the highest BET surface area and the highest adsorption capacity. For zeolite molecular sieves 5A, the C2H4 adsorption capacity was higher than that of C3H6, which is opposite to the results for most adsorbents. The isosteric heats of C3H6 on AC-1, 5A, MIL-101, ZIF-8, and SG-1 were higher than those of C2H4. The C3H6/C2H4 separation selectivities were calculated using the ideal solution theory, and the activated carbon AC-1 had the highest separation selectivity of 8.8.

MIL-101(Cr), one of the best investigated and widely used metal–organic frameworks, has been easily synthesized with particle diameters in the range from 387(28) nm to 90(10) nm by using acetic acid as a modulator . The particle size of MIL-101(Cr) decreased with increasing acetic acid concentration. The decrease of size in high concentration of acetic acid may be explained with the efficient suppression of the framework extension. In a selected condition, MIL-101(Cr) possessing an average diameter of about 90 nm can be prepared easily and reproducibly in gram-scale, with high BET-surface areas (3200–3500 m 2 /g) and fairly good yield (60–75%).

Lignocellulosic biomass aerogels with relatively high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and pore volume were prepared directly from bagasse solutions in the present study. Bagasse was dissolved in DMSO/LiCl, treated with cyclic freezing-thawing processes, and regenerated with water. The resulted bagasse hydrogels were solvent-exchanged to t-butanol and subjected to freeze-drying to obtain the lignocellulosic aerogels. The structure of the aerogels was studied with FTIR, nitrogen absorption, SEM, and XRD. The results showed that the aerogels had sheet-like skeletons interconnected with one another to form three-dimensional networks. The highest BET surface area and total pore volume of the aerogels were 185 m 2 /g and 0.46 cm 3 /g, respectively. By adjusting the concentration of bagasse solution in DMSO/LiCl, the structure of the aerogels could be controlled to some extent.

In this study, activated carbons were prepared from bamboo via carbonization and successive KOH activation by tuning the post-treatment procedure. The resultant carbons possessed high surface area, high oxygen doping, and 3D hierarchical porous structure with interconnected micro-, meso- and macropores. These features resulted in ultra-excellent adsorption capacity for rhodamine B (> 1200 mg/g). Furthermore, the kinetic and isotherm experimental data were best described by pseudo-second kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. The adsorption of RhB onto the as-synthesized carbons was a spontaneous endothermic process. The π–π stacking, hydrogen bond, and acid-base interaction were proposed to account for the adsorption mechanism. Moreover, SiO 2 in bamboo-based carbon functioned as frameworks and its removal via alkali treatment led to the collapse of porous structure, decreasing surface area, pore volume, and O heteroatom doping, consequently dropping the adsorption performance. Overall, bamboo as an abundant and renewable biomass could be considered as a potential precursor for the production of excellent adsorbent for wastewater purification.

In this article, MIL-101(Cr) powder material was successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and combined with different mass fractions of CaCl 2 by immersion method to obtain MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 composite materials. The physical properties of the adsorbent were determined by X-ray powder diffraction, N 2 adsorption/desorption isotherm, TGA and FTIR. The water vapor adsorption performance of MOFs was tested by a gravimetric instrument to analyze the underlying mechanism. Results indicated that the specific surface area, total pore volume, and pore size distribution of micropores and mesopores of MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 composites decreased with increasing CaCl 2 content. When P/P 0 = 0.9, the water vapor equilibrium adsorption capacities of MIL-101(Cr), MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -10%, MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -20%, and MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -30% were 1.05, 0.88, 1.13, and 1.35 g/g, respectively. MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -30% agglomerated after water absorption, so MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -20% was selected as the final experimental material. The water vapor adsorption heat of MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -20% was 42–58 kJ/mol, which is close to the evaporation enthalpy of water (44 kJ/mol at 25 °C). The analysis of the adsorption kinetics showed the relatively uniform adsorption rate of MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -20%. Overall, MIL-101(Cr)/CaCl 2 -20% exhibited superior water vapor adsorption performance and have great potential for application to adsorption heat pumps.

Ethylamine modified vermiculite (Ethyl-VER) with high specific surface area and excellent pore structure was prepared to remove cesium from aqueous solution. The physic-chemical properties of the pristine and modified vermiculite were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), specific surface area (BET) and scanning electron microscopy/energy disperse spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The corroding effect of ethylamine increased the specific surface area of vermiculite from 4.35 to 15.59 m 2 g −1 , and the average pore diameter decreased from 6.8 to 5.34 nm. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted as a function of pH, initial Cs + concentration, contact time, coexisting cations (K + , Na + , Ca 2+ ) and low-molecular-weight organic acids (acetic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid) to illustrate the adsorption behavior. The study found that the adsorption capacity of cesium in aqueous solution was improved from 56.92 to 78.17 mg g −1 after modification. The formation of micropores and mesopores and the increased surface area played a critical role in the enhancement of cesium adsorption. Kinetic experiments indicated that the adsorption process can be simulated well with a pseudo-second-order model. The presence of cations or low-molecular-weight organic acids inhibited cesium adsorption in different degrees. On the basis of our results, Ethyl-VER with good surface characteristics and high adsorption capacity is a suitable adsorbent for cesium removal from aqueous solution.

Highly crystalline mesoporous anatase TiO2nanospheres with high surface area (higher than P25 and anatase TiO2) are prepared by a soft-template method. Despite the high specific surface area, these samples have three times lower equilibrium adsorption (<2%) than Degussa P25. The rate constant of the mesoporous anatase TiO2(0.024 min−1) reported here is 364% higher than that of P25 (0.0066 min−1), for the same catalytic loading. The results of oxidation-extraction photometry using several reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers indicated that mesoporous anatase TiO2generates more ROS than P25 under UV-light irradiation. This significant improvement in the photocatalytic performance of mesoporous spherical TiO2arises from the following synergistic effects in the reported sample: (i) high surface area; (ii) improved crystallinity; (iii) narrow pore wall thicknesses (ensuring the rapid migration of photogenerated carriers to the surface of the material); and (iv) greater ROS generation under UV-light.Keywords:mesoporous anatase TiO2;high surface area;photocatalytic

In this study, the influences of nano γ-Al2O3 on the thermal storage performance of LiCl were experimentally investigated. The XRD results show that a complex of lithium aluminium oxychloride (LiAlOCl2) was formed through the LiCl·H2O and γ-Al2O3 composites preparation process. The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy measurement reveals that the addition of γ-Al2O3 accelerated the hydration rate of LiCl composites, concentrated the spectrum utilization range, and promoted the desorption rate of physical adsorbed H2O and low-frequency structural –OH in the materials. The highest specific surface area of the composite is 34.5 times higher than that of pure LiCl. The addition of γ-Al2O3 can increase the conversion rate of LiCl·H2O to approximately 100% at the hydration time of 1 h and the addition content of γ-Al2O3 at 15 wt%. A maximum heat storage density (HSD) for the LiCl·H2O-γ-Al2O3 composite can reach 714.7 kJ kgLiCl·H2O−1 in 1 h when the addition content of γ-Al2O3 was 15%wt and its water uptake can reach 0.26 g g−1 in 1 h. It also can be found that the addition of Al2O3 in LiCl resulted in a decrease of the activation energy from 90.89 kJ mol−1 to 79.76 kJ mol−1. However, the thermal conductivity of the LiCl·H2O-γ-Al2O3 composite slightly decreased with the increase of nano γ-Al2O3 content.

CuO-CeO 2 -ZrO 2 /cordierite catalysts have been successfully prepared by the impregnation reduction method. The effects of processing parameters such as the condition of reduction process, calcination temperature, the addition of surfactant on the size and shape of catalyst particles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET surface area measurements, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalytic performance of the as-prepared catalysts for CO oxidation were evaluated by using a microreactor-GC system. The results indicate that the processing parameters influence greatly the size and shape of catalyst particles. Fragmental shape catalysts were formed when the impregnated samples were reduced in the thermostat water bath. However, spherical-like particles were obtained by ultrasonic-assisted in the reduction process. Tiny flower-like catalyst particles were found when the surfactant were used. When the calcination temperature decreased, the grain size of catalysts has reduced, and the catalytic activity for CO oxidation has been improved. The introduction of ultrasonic and surfactant resulted in larger specific surface area and better catalytic performance.

Carbon deposition on nickel powders in methane involves three stages in different reaction temperature ranges. Temperature programing oxidation test and Raman spectrum results indicated the formation of complex and ordered carbon structures at high deposition temperatures. The values of I (D)/ I (G) of the deposited carbon reached 1.86, 1.30, and 1.22 in the first, second, and third stages, respectively. The structure of carbon in the second stage was similar to that in the third stage. Carbon deposited in the first stage rarely contained homogeneous pyrolytic deposit layers. A kinetic model was developed to analyze the carbon deposition behavior in the first stage. The rate-determining step of the first stage is supposed to be interfacial reaction. Based on the investigation of carbon deposition kinetics on nickel powders from different resources, carbon deposition rate is suggested to have a linear relation with the square of specific surface area of nickel particles.
