A monoethanolamine/1-propanol aqueous biphasic absorbent with rapid absorption rate and low regeneration energy was proposed to enhance the CO 2 capture technology. 1-propanol was used as a physical solvent and phase splitter, which increased the mass transfer coefficient from 1.83 to 2.36 × 10 −10 mol cm −2 s −1 Pa −1 and triggered the liquid–liquid phase separation due to the salting-out effect. CO 2 capture process was modeled using an Aspen plus simulator by incorporating a decanter according to experimental results of phase separation. Energy consumption was analyzed considering the solvent circulation rate, lean loading, operating pressure, and biphasic solvent concentration. Because only the CO 2 -rich phase was required to be regenerated, a decreased stripping volume and high m CO2 /m H2O were achieved. Sensible and vaporization heats substantially decreased by 80% and 75%, respectively, and the total regeneration energy decreased by 39.85%. Moreover, the cyclic capacity was increased from 1.01 to 2.51 mol/kg, which substantially reduced the equipment footprint. This study provides new insights into biphasic solvents with considerable energy saving for CO 2 capture.

In the present work, we report an investigation of using an anionic surfactant sulfonated lignin (SL) to promote gas hydrate formation for CO 2 capture from a CO 2 /CH 4 gas mixture. The experiments were performed at 277.15 K in a stirred tank reactor. The initial overpressure (driving force) for hydrate formation was fixed at Δ P = 2.5 MPa. The impacts of the SL presence on hydrate growth behavior and CO 2 separation efficiency were elucidated. The results indicated that hydrate nucleation was prolonged in the presence of SL but this stage was accelerated when adding 1.0 mol% tetrahydrofuran (THF) into the SL solution. Compared to THF/SL and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions, CO 2 recovery obtained in SL solutions was increased to 63.5 ± 2.9% and the separation factor was 4.0 ± 0.8. Gas consumption obtained in SL solutions was higher than that obtained in other systems like liquid water, SDS solution, THF solution, and tetra- n -butyl phosphonium bromide (TBPB) solution. Therefore, sulfonated lignin can be used as a promising surfactant to improve hydrate formation kinetics as well as the efficiency of CO 2 capture from CO 2 /CH 4 gas mixture, but there still exists a space to increase the CO 2 selectivity in the presence of SL.

A hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) gas sensor based on copper (Cu) nanoparticle deposited graphene oxide (GO) composite membrane with two waist-enlarged tapers is proposed. Three segments of the single-mode fibres (SMFs) are sequentially fused to obtain two waist-enlarged bitapers of Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI). When the light of a broadband light source transmits through the first bitaper, some light enters the fiber cladding; the lights of core mode and cladding mode are coupled at the second taper and an MZI is successfully fabricated. The copper/graphene oxide (Cu/GO) composite sensing film is coated on the surface of the second SMF, and the effective refractive index of the coating is changed when the sensitive film adsorbs the target gas. The correlation between the gas concentration and the wavelength shift is achieved and the H 2 S can be measured effectively. The results show that a uniform Cu/GO film is successfully coated on the surface of the fiber, and when the thickness of the sensitive film is about 1.2 μm, the sensor has a sensitivity of 4.42 pm/ppm and a good linearity and selectivity for H 2 S in the range of 0–60 ppm, and the limit of detection is 2.79 ppm. The response time and recovery time are approximately 31 and 48 s, respectively. The sensor has the advantages of small volume, low cost, simple structure, and easy manufacture and so on, which is suitable for on-line monitoring of H 2 S.

The preparation process and gas sensitivity test of three-dimensional sphere spinel ferrites with well-assembled macroporous structures have been reported in this paper. The three-dimensional ZnFe 2 O 4 macroporous spheres (3D ZnFe 2 O 4 MPs) were prepared by one-step ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP), in which self-assembly sulfonated polystyrene (S-PS) spheres were employed as sacrificial template. The as-prepared samples possessed interconnected macroporous with pore diameters about 200 nm can be observed in TEM characterization, which provided more reactive active sites. The catalyst Pd was doped in 3D ZnFe 2 O 4 MPs with the attempt of enhancing gas-sensing performance, which has been confirmed existed as Pd 2+ formation by XRD and XPS analysis. In a comparison with pure 3D ZnFe 2 O 4 MPs, the 0.5% PdO-dopded 3D ZnFe 2 O 4 MPs exhibited a 2 times higher response (18.9) to 100 ppm acetone at 275 °C. Furthermore, the PdO- dopded 3D ZnFe 2 O 4 MPs-based sensor also presented excellent selectivity and good long-term stability towards acetone. The outstanding sensing performance can be attributed to the 3D spheres with interconnect macroporous structure, electronic sensitization and catalytic effects of PdO. The relative sensing mechanism has been discussed in detail.

The useful functionalization and self-assembly of two-dimensional layered materials like hydrotalcite (LDH) are critical for the wide application of nanomaterials. In this work, some self-assembled Langmuir films of ion-exchanged LDH and dyes with different molecular structures were prepared by the Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) technique. The aggregation states of used dye molecules on the surface of the obtained membrane and the structures/properties of the membrane were studied. The hydroxyethyl sulfonate-inserted LDH (LDH-Ise) nanosheets were able to induce the dye formation of highly ordered H- and/or J-aggregate structures. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy results demonstrated the uniformity and repeatability of the film. Interestingly, the good acid–base gas response characteristics of present LDH-Ise/dye LB films were investigated by UV–vis and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The present research work provides new clues for the development of gas sensors and chemical switches as well as the preparation of effective functional self-assembled films.

Zeolite (ZSM-5), as a kind of carbon-free sorbent or catalyst, has been widely applied in many fields due to its big surface area, good chemical and thermal stability, and excellent adsorption performance. In this study, Mn-Fe modified ZSM-5 are synthesized via sol-gel approach and employed for elemental mercury (Hg 0 ) removal from simulated flue gas at low temperature. The results show that pure ZSM-5 shows poor mercury capture ability with Hg 0 removal efficiency of ~8.5–18.8% at 100–300 °C. Mn or Fe modification can both efficiently enhance the Hg 0 removal efficiency of the ZSM-5. The sorbent with Mn/Fe molar ratio of 1:2 exhibits the optimal mercury capture ability with the highest Hg 0 removal efficiency near 100% at temperatures of 200 and 250 °C due to the significant synergy effect between Mn 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 . The presence of NO has a negligible effect on the Hg 0 removal performance of Mn/ZSM-5 and Mn1Fe2/ZSM-5, while the existence of SO 2 considerably degrades the Hg 0 capture performance of Mn/ZSM-5 owing to competing adsorption and side reactions. Fe addition can protect Mn active sites from SO 2 poisoning and thereby enhancing the SO 2 resistance of Mn/ZSM-5 to some extent.

Nitrogen and/or sulfur doped carbons were extensively investigated as CO 2 adsorbents, however their performance in CO 2 capture from combustion flue gas, which is the largest stationary emission source, was less promising. Herein, potassium was used as a dopant for carbon, and a new series of materials, namely potassium intercalated carbons (PICs), were prepared sequentially by oxidation of mesoporous carbon, potassium ion exchange, and calcination. Based on results from FT-IR, XPS, TG-MS, etc., it was found the pre-loaded potassium interacted with the carbon matrix during calcination, enabled great flexibility in: (1) porosity adjustment by “in-situ activation”, and (2) surface chemistry manipulation by potassium intercalation. Taking together, the optimized sample (PIC-700) showed fast and stable CO 2 uptake of 5.23 wt.% in flue gas conditions (40 °C, 1 bar, 15%CO 2 ), which is among the highest for carbon-based adsorbents. Such promising performance is directly related to the enhanced CO 2 affinity due to the presence of potassium dopants. Dynamic separation of CO 2 from 15%CO 2 /85%N 2 showed similar adsorption capacity, and no performance decay could be observed during temperature swing cycles, demonstrating the great potential for the PICs for practical CO 2 capture applications.

Dihydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (diOH-PBDEs) can be natural products of marine organisms or the metabolites of PBDEs. The optimal determination method and concentration of diOH-PBDEs in seafood are unknown due to a lack of commercially available standards. In the present study, diOH-PBDEs were synthesized, and an efficient measurement method for OH-PBDEs and diOH-PBDEs in sea fish muscle samples, including extraction, clean-up and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) analysis, was established. Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) followed by partitioning with a KOH solution and florisil cartridge clean-up proved to be a reliable and robust method for detecting all OH-PBDEs/diOH-PBDEs. GC-MS/MS with an electron ionization (EI) source analysis was a sensitive analytical instrument for OH-PBDEs/diOH-PBDEs. The recovery using this method ranged from 19% to 101%, 28%–88% and 42%–90% for 10 ng, 20 ng and 40 ng spiking levels, respectively. The equipment detection limits (EDLs) were in the range of 0.31–2.78 pg/μL, and the limits of detection (LOD) for the method were in the range of 5.07–38.74 pg/g wet weight. Concentrations of diOH-PBDEs in the marine fish muscle samples were in the range of 32.43–1528.63 pg/g wet weight. Similar compositions of OH-PBDEs/diOH-PBDEs were found within the same family of marine fish.

For an ideal absorbent for CO 2 capture from flue gas, there are some key features including easy preparation, high stability, low absorption enthalpy, high capacity at high temperature and excellent reversibility. Herein, several polyamine-functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) were easily prepared from cheap polyamines and lithium salts, which exhibited significantly improved stability due to the presence of multisite coordinating interactions. The viscosity was reduced by introducing polyalcohol-based ILs, leading to polyamine-based hybrid ILs. Interestingly, these polyamine-based hybrid ILs exhibited high CO 2 capacity (4.09 mmol/g, 0.1 bar) at high temperature (80°C) and excellent reversibility in the presence of H 2 O and O 2 , which is superior to many other good absorbents. Moreover, these ILs also showed good performance for CO 2 capture from stimulated air (2.10 mmol/g, 380 ppm). We believe that this method with easy preparation, low cost, high efficiency and excellent reversibility has a great potential in the industrial capture of CO 2 from flue gas.

Pure In 2 O 3 nanowires (PINW) and CdO–In 2 O 3 composited beaded porous nanotubes (CIBPNT) were successfully prepared by conventional electrospinning method and followed by calcination. The peculiar surface morphological images of as-synthesized nanomaterials were observed via scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) from which we could observe a series of irregular holes distributed on the surface of beaded nanotubes. The inner structure of the samples was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results reveal that the element composition of the samples are in conformity with the CdO–In 2 O 3 materials. In addition, the average crystallite size of CIBPNT (17.5 nm) can be estimated from XRD which accords with the TEM images, and XPS analysis supports the oxygen vacancy principle by proving the oxygen vacancies concentration of CIBPNT is more than in PINW. The formaldehyde sensing performances of the samples were evaluated at different temperatures. The result shows that the sensor based on CIBPNT exhibits a excellent response (72–50 ppm formaldehyde) at a low operation temperature of 132 °C, and the value is eight times that of the response of PINW (9 to 50 ppm formaldehyde).The sensor based on CIBPNT could detect 0.1 ppm formaldehyde with a response of 2. In addition, good selectivity and a short response and recovery time (6 s, 12 s) are exhibited. The enhancement of gas sensitivity is attributed to not only the unique beaded shape of hollow and porous 1D nanostructures, but also the high catalytic activity of the CdO additive.

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) attract great attention due to their outstanding gas separation performance. The compatibility between the fillers and the polymer matrix is one of the key points for the preparation of high-performance MMMs. In this work, MMMs consisting of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of amine-modified Cu-BTC (NH2-Cu-BTC; BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid) and submicrometer-sized amine-modified Cu-BTC (sub-NH2-Cu-BTC) incorporated into a Pebax-1657 polymer were fabricated for the gas separation. The SEM image and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra showed an increase in the surface roughness of MOFs and the presence of amino groups on the surface of Cu-BTC after the amination modification, and a decrease in the size of MOFs crystals after the submicrometer-sized aminated modification. Gas adsorption analysis indicated that NH2-Cu-BTC and sub-NH2-Cu-BTC had a higher gas adsorption capacity for CO2compared to the unmodified Cu-BTC. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image showed that NH2-Cu-BTC and sub-NH2-Cu-BTC, especially sub-NH2-Cu-BTC, had a better compatibility with a polyether-block-amide (Pebax) matrix in the MMMs. The gas separation performance indicated that the Pebax/sub-NH2-Cu-BTC MMMs evidently improved the CO2/N2and CO2/CH4selectivity at the expense of a slight CO2permeability. The results reveal that modified MOF-filled MMMs possess great potential for applications in the CO2separation field.Keywords:mixed matrix membranes;metal–organic framework;gas separation;amination;submicron

Microfabricated semi-packed gas chromatography (GC) columns coated with two kinds of mesoporous silica (MS) stationary phase have been explored and compared in this paper. The micro GC (μGC) columns are fabricated by microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technique. MSs with pore size of 2 and 5 nm are prepared using two different soft-templates and deposited on the inner surface of the μGC columns by dip-coating. For the first time, the influence of pore size of MS stationary phase on the separation performance in a μGC column has been investigated. As demonstrated, the mixtures of light alkanes (C1–C4) or heavy alkanes (C5–C10) can be well separated in both columns, where the separation resolution is always higher than 1.25 except for C1–C2 and C5–C6. Considering the pore size effect on the separation performance, it is shown that analytes, especially those with bigger size, display longer retention time in the column with larger pore size. For C10, the retention time in 5 nm-MS column is 200% longer than that in 2 nm-MS one.
