UiO-66 (UiO for University of Oslo) is a zirconium-based metal–organic framework with reverse shape selectivity, which gives an alternative way to produce high-purity n-heptane (nHEP) used for the manufacture of high-purity pharmaceuticals. A couple of studies have shown that UiO-66 gives a high selectivity on the separation of n-/iso-alkanes. However, the microporous structure of UiO-66 causes poor mass transport during the desorption process. In this work, hierarchical-pore UiO-66 (H-UiO-66) was synthesized and utilized as an adsorbent of nHEP and methyl cyclohexane (MCH) for systematically studying the desorption process of n-/iso-alkanes. A suite of physical methods, including X-ray diffraction patterns, verified the UiO-66 structures, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy showed the existence of hierarchical pores. N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms further confirmed the size distribution of hierarchical pores in H-UiO-66. Of particular note, the MCH/nHEP selectivity of H-UiO-66 is similar to that of UiO-66 under the same adsorption conditions, and the desorption process of nHEP/MCH from H-UiO-66 is dramatically enhanced; namely, the desorption rates for nHEP/MCH from H-UiO-66 is enhanced by 30%/23% compared with UiO-66 at most. Moreover, desorption activation energy (Ed) derived from temperature-programmed desorption experiments indicate that the Ed for nHEP/MCH is lower on H-UiO-66; that is, the Ed of MCH on H-UiO-66 is ∼37% lower than that on UiO-66 at most, leading to a milder condition for the desorption process. The introduction of hierarchical structures will be applicable for the optimization of the desorption process during separation on porous materials.

Desorption is a critical process in the recovery or post-treatment of adsorbents saturated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In this study, the thermal desorption behaviors for eight VOCs on hypercrosslinked polymeric resin (HPR) and macroporous polymeric resin (MPR) were investigated through isothermal desorption and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Compared with MPR, HPR with more micropores exhibited a lower desorption rate constant, lower desorption efficiency and higher desorption activation energy due to the strong binding energy generated between VOCs molecules and narrow micropores. As the polarizability of VOCs increased, the desorption rate constants on two porous polymeric resins decreased, while the desorption activation energy showed an incremental trend. Excellent linear correlations were observed between VOC polarizability and desorption rate constants ( R 2 = 0.957 for HPR and R 2 = 0.940 for MPR) as well as between VOC polarizability and desorption activation energy ( R 2 = 0.981 for HPR and R 2 = 0.969 for MPR). Furthermore, a polyparameter linear free energy relationship (PP-LFER) was developed to explore the influences of intermolecular interactions on desorption behaviors of VOCs on porous polymeric resins. The results indicated that the dispersive interaction, which is directly related to polarizability of VOCs, was the primary factor influencing the desorption activation energy of VOCs on porous polymeric resins. The find from this study helps evaluate fleetly and availably the desorption properties of VOCs based on their polarizability.

Boron has a high applied value from the past to now. It can be used in composite material, aerospace industry, semiconductor industry, and many other areas. Nonetheless, boron resources are only located in some countries, so it is strenuous to acquire. To obtain more boron and reach the goal of resources circulation, boron was recovered from the desalination brine through Amberlite IRA 743 resin in this study. Because extreme climate change makes people have insufficient freshwater, desalination technology has matured since the 20th century. Although it can cope with freshwater scarcity, the by-product, brine, is detrimental to the environment. The only merit of brine is that it is a concentrated solution, so the boron concentration in brine is higher than in some ores. This recovering system then uses the characteristics of brine to get boron. The research could be divided into three parts. First, the adsorption isotherm model was investigated, and the saturated adsorption capacity of boron through Amberlite IRA 743 resin was 74.34 mg/g and conformed to the Langmuir model. The second part surveyed the optimal parameters of boron adsorption through Amberlite IRA 743 resin. The results revealed that 18.9 mg/L of boron could be fully adsorbed from brine under pH 10, L/S ratio of 200, contacting period of 128 min, and temperature at 328 K. On the other hand, different agents would be tested to desorb the boron from the resin, and the boron product could be generated. In a nutshell, through this research, people can reduce the side effect of brine and circulate boron resources in an eco-friendly method.

As a prominent catalyst in the development of MgH 2 hydrogen storage materials, MXene can significantly enhance hydrogen storage performance. In this study, we investigated the impact of using molten salts instead of HF to treat Ti 2 NTi x and its impact on the hydrogen storage properties of MgH 2 . MgH 2 -10 wt% Ti 2 NTi x composite has been prepared via ball milling. The results showed that adding 10 wt% Ti 2 NTi x largely lowered the initial dehydrogenation temperature of MgH 2 from 300.2 ℃ to 173.5 ℃. Under isothermal conditions at 350 ℃, the composite released 6.11 wt% H 2 within 4 minutes. Furthermore, after dehydrogenation, the MgH 2 -10 wt% Ti 2 NTi x composite absorbed 3.4 wt% H 2 in 60 minutes at 100 ℃ and 30 bar hydrogen pressure. EPR found that there is a large number of oxygen vacancies on the Ti 2 NTi x surface introduced by molten salt treatment, providing abundant active sites and accelerating electron transfer. Additionally, the in-situ formation of titanium nitride compounds, the synergistic multivalent catalytic effect of titanium, and the multiphase interfaces in MgH 2 -10 wt% Ti 2 NTi x contributed to the composite’s improved catalytic activity and stability. This work provided valuable insights into the application of oxygen vacancy-rich, incompletely etched Ti 2 NTi x materials in magnesium-based hydrogen storage, demonstrating their great potential in hydrogen storage technologies.

Aiming at the issue of poor selectivity in metal oxide gas sensors, a novel MEMS gas sensor structure was designed, comprising an adsorption unit and a sensing unit. Based on this design, a gas-sensing method utilizing on-chip programmable temperature analysis technology was developed. By quantifying the gas-sensitive response, we successfully extracted the peak signal of temperature-dependent resistance with high selectivity. The performance results show that ZSM-5, as the adsorbent material, exhibits desorption peak positions at different temperatures for four types of alcohol gases, and the peak height is correlated with the adsorption concentration. The essence of its high selectivity lies in the fact that materials have different desorption activation energies for different gases under the same conditions. This study proposes a new selective MEMS device testing method for identifying gas types and concentrations.

Catalytic desorption can reduce the activation energy of the reaction and increase the desorption reaction rate, and is one of the most promising technologies to solve energy consumption problems of CO 2 capture technology for organic amine solutions. In order to further reduce desorption energy consumption, we propose a new method of utilizing the photothermal effect of catalysts to increase desorption temperature and accelerate reaction kinetics, and coupling the proton transfer ability of the catalyst itself to form multifunctional catalysis. In this work, we synthesized Ru x Mn 1-x OOH catalyst by introducing Ru atoms at the Mn vacancies on the MnOOH surface, grasping the advantages of the photothermal and proton transfer ability of Ru-dopants. The results showed that the CO 2 desorption capacity increased by 43.1% with adding MnOOH compared to without a catalyst. The Ru-doped catalyst demonstrated a 54.7% increase in CO 2 desorption efficiency, with an additional 98.2% surge attributed to the in-situ photothermal effect generated by the catalyst under light irradiation. Characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that Ru doping significantly enhanced the proton transfer ability while simultaneously weakens the adsorption capacity of monoethanolamine (MEA) on the catalyst surface. Moreover, the stronger photothermal effect introduced by Ru leads to an increase in the surface temperature of the catalyst, which is key to the faster and efficient desorption of CO 2 . This work provides a new approach to improve the proton transfer ability of catalysts and offers a novel photothermal coupled catalytic scheme for CO 2 desorption in organic amine carbon capture technology.

Zeolite imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) have been applied to gas adsorption, but there remain no reports detailing the adsorption–desorption process for lanthanum metal ion (LMI). This work first testifies that ZIF-8 has a better adsorption property than ZIF-90 for remediation of LMI from water. Adsorption results demonstrate that ZIF-8 removes 100.0% of the metals ions, whose concentrations are below 20 mg L–1, and the saturated adsorption capacity is 385 mg g–1. Characterization by P-XRD, ICP, and FT-IR indicates that the main structure of ZIF-8 remained unchanged to a large extent during the adsorption process. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations illustrated that the adsorption process is spontaneous, and the adsorption site is in the center of two imidazole rings. La-ZIF-8 was subjected to two polar desorbents, acetonitrile and methyl alcohol, possessing a desorption ratio of 94.4% and 61.0%, respectively. Recycling the adsorption/desorption process using acetonitrile resulted in significant crystal structure collapse after three recycles reducing the adsorption capacity to 150 mg g–1. However, acetonitrile still maintains a desorption ratio of over 90.0%. Our work shows that ZIF-8 can be used as an efficient adsorbent in the removal of aquatic LMI, especially at trace concentration levels.

Thermal desorption (TD) is known as an effective technique to remediate PAHs-contaminated sites. However, effectively removing PAHs using TD while saving time, and energy, and minimizing soil damage remains a challenge. In this study, we examined the combined effects of various factors on the removal efficiency of pyrene (PYR) by TD and developed an optimal numerical model based on conducting a series of soil experiments. The results showed that temperature (T) and time (t) promoted the desorption of PYR, while water ( S w ) and organic matter ( f om ) were just the opposite. Besides, water and organic matter had a synergistic effect proportionally. It was found that adjusting the soil-water ratio (which can be controlled by organic matter) maximized the desorption rate of PYR. An ideal S w / f om 1.56 and a minimized recommended temperature (173 °C) were proposed based on the model. Finally, the efficacy of the optimized scheme was validated in real-world site soil. These findings not only mechanistically revealed the desorption behavior of PYR under the influence of various factors, but also provided an optimized scheme for efficiently removing PAHs using TD, thereby accelerating the remediation process and reducing energy consumption. The modeling ideas and conclusions obtained may be applicable to other PAHs, guiding the effective remediation of PAHs-polluted sites.

Although homogeneous acid catalysts have been widely utilized in the production of solketal from glycerol, a significant aspect of the biodiesel industry, challenges remain, including the high corrosiveness of the catalysts and their excessive usage. In this study, a composite material of wCo(NO 3 ) 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 was synthesized through an adsorption–desorption approach based on wet impregnation, achieving a Co(II) loading of only 1.8 wt%, which demonstrated a solketal yield of 84 % at 80 °C, significantly outperforming the catalytic activity of Co(NO 3 ) 2 . Even when the amount of Co(NO 3 ) 2 was increased to 22-fold that of the Co(II) content in wCo(NO 3 ) 2 /γ-Al 2 O 3 , the solketal yield only reached 67 %. Through systematic physicochemical characterization and theoretical calculations, it is revealed that Co(NO 3 ) 2 can be uniformly dispersed in an amorphous state on the surface of γ-Al 2 O 3 . Furthermore, γ-Al 2 O 3 facilitates a reduction in the orbital binding energy of Co and N within Co(NO 3 ) 2 . The synergistic effects of Co(II), NO 3 − , and γ-Al 2 O 3 contribute to decreasing the rate-determining energy of the ketalization reaction, thereby promoting the dehydration reactions of glycerol and acetone. Furthermore, this strategy is equally applicable to other soluble Co, Ni, and Cu salts, demonstrating universality. This method effectively reduces the usage of metal salts in the solketal synthesis process, enhancing the acid catalytic activity of the metal salts, providing an adsorption–desorption approach based on wet impregnation for the development of low-dose, highly active, and low-corrosive acid catalytic materials.

The luminescence thermal enhancement (LTE), in lanthanide-doped upconverting nanocrystals (UCNCs), has attracted extensive attention for its applications in anticounterfeiting, temperature sensing, and so on. Some mechanisms for LTE were proposed, including thermally induced water desorption from the surface of UCNCs, but conclusive evidence is absent for any of the mechanisms. Here, vacuumizing is employed in the experiment for the LTE in NaYF4:Ho3+/Yb3+ UCNCs, and significantly promoted LTE is observed. The 300–450–300 K temperature cycling experiment in vacuum shows continuous luminescence enhancement without luminescence intensity recovery as in the cooling process in moisture air, indicating the effect of water desorption because water readsorption is blocked in vacuum. It is found that the Ho3+ 5I6 level can be deexcited by direct long-range energy transfer to water adsorbed at the surface of nanocrystals due to resonant coupling between the Ho3+ 5I6 → 5I7 transition and the −OH vibration of water. As a result, water desorption suppresses the 5I6 depopulation and thus enhances the luminescence of Ho3+. Finally, the regulation of upconversion LTE is realized by adjusting the size of nanocrystals and Ho3+ or Yb3+ concentrations. Our findings indicate that the vacuumizing technique is an effective method to distinguish water-desorption-induced LTE. This work deepens the understanding of LTE and offers insights into the regulation of LTE.

Iodine is one of the key elements that must be removed from the off-gas systems of nuclear fuel reprocessing. This study systematically investigates the iodine vapor adsorption performance of the metal–organic framework (MOF) material HKUST-1(1-(2-methyl-4-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)phenyl)-3-morpholino-5,6-dihydropyridin-2(1H)-one), with particle sizes of 100 nm and 20 μm. HKUST-1 samples with varying particle sizes were synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The experimental results show that the 20 μm HKUST-1 exhibits superior crystallinity, a more intact pore structure, and a higher iodine adsorption capacity, reaching 700 mg/g, which is significantly greater than the 300 mg/g capacity of the 100 nm HKUST-1. Kinetic analysis reveals that the adsorption process follows the pseudo-second-order model, with physical adsorption as the predominant mechanism, where iodine molecules are accommodated within the pores. FTIR and XRD further confirm the structural stability of the HKUST-1 framework after iodine adsorption. However, desorption experiments show that iodine molecules are easily volatilized into the air, with a 20% weight loss observed within 10 h and a color change from black to green. The results provide experimental evidence for optimizing the application of HKUST-1 materials in iodine capture and suggest that material modification could enhance the long-term stability of iodine fixation.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) pollution in aqueous environments has become a matter of significant concern due to its adverse effects on the environment and ecosystems. In the pursuit of an efficient PFOA removal method, ion exchange membranes have been employed as adsorbents using the electrosorption technique. This study investigates the electrosorption capacity of PFOA, focusing on factors such as the types of ion exchange membranes, applied potential, residual time, and PFOA concentration. Among the various membranes tested, the polyvinylidene chloride membrane with quaternary ammonium groups demonstrated an impressive 92.5 % removal ratio under an initial concentration of 100 ppm. However, the desorption of PFOA poses a challenge due to its surfactant nature and the strong electrostatic interaction with the quaternary ammonium groups on the membrane surface. Our research findings indicate that using a protic CH 3 OH solution with NaCl enables efficient PFOA desorption. Additionally, the membrane exhibits a remarkable retention of 99.2 % capacity over five electrosorption-desorption cycles. In conclusion, the innovative electrosorption-desorption methods presented in this study offer a promising direction for effective PFOA removal.
