This article presents the results of the study on the effect of nanomagnetite modification on textural characteristics of clay matrices, adsorption properties, and parameters of the spent sorbents separation. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption method has shown that the obtained magnetic nanocomposite sorbents have large specific surface areas (in 1.2–2 times more) than the initial clays due to the formation of the secondary porous structure on the surface and in macropores of clay matrices. The best adsorption properties with respect to dyes belong to magnetic sorbents with nanomagnetite content of 7 wt.%. The additional modification of the third phase of graphene-like molybdenum disulphide into magnetic sorbents leads to the significant increase in the sorption capacity of both cationic (up to 1100 mg/g) and anionic (up to 1830 mg/g) dyes. The conducted investigations of the total acidity and acid-base sites on the surface of clay, magnetite-modified clay, and molybdenum disulfide-modified magnetic sorbent indicate the significant influence of the Lewis base cites on the adsorption properties of these materials.

Titania-silica membranes on a porous quartz substrate are prepared by its direct contact with metal silicate sol at various Ti/Si ratios in the conditions of coagel sedimentation and presence of cetylpyridinium chloride. The study of textural and adsorption properties of membranes is conducted by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption, including methods of t-plots and DFT theory. It was shown that obtained membranes have mesoporous structure with the specific surface area and pore hydraulic diameter varied in intervals of 64–217 m2 /g and 4–11 nm, respectively. Developed values of surface area remain up to molar ratio of Ti/Si = 50/50.

CuO–Al2O3 catalysts containing various amounts of copper oxide have been prepared by precipitation. The phase changes were studied by X-ray diffraction. The results obtained revealed that the thermal treatment of solid CuO–Al2O3 at 700 °C produced only crystalline CuO. Heating to 900 °C led to the formation of copper alumina spinel together with unreacted CuO and γ-Al2O3. The spinel content was found to increase with increasing copper content. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms on the calcined samples have been measured. Surface areas have been calculated and the pore structure analysed. The textural properties of the system were found to depend on both the copper content and the calcination temperature. Key words: CuO, Al2O3 catalysts, structure, surface area, pore structure.

Abstract In this study, MIL-101(Fe), MIL-101(Fe,Cu), and Graphene Oxide (GO) /MIL-101(Fe,Cu) were synthesized to compose a novel sorbent. The adsorption properties of these three MOFs-based composites were compared toward the removal of phosphate. Furthermore, the influencing factors including reaction time, pH, temperature and initial concentration on the adsorption capacity of phosphate on these materials as well as the reusability of the material were discussed. The structure of fabricated materials and the removal mechanism of phosphate on the composite material were analyzed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis and zeta potential. The results show that the maximum adsorption capacity of phosphate by the composite GO/MIL-101(Fe,Cu)-2% was 204.60 mg·g− 1, which is higher than that of MIL-101(Fe,Cu) and MIL-101(Fe). likewise the specific surface area of GO/MIL-101(Fe,Cu)-2% is 778.11 m2/g is higher than that of MIL-101(Fe,Cu) and MIL-101(Fe),which are 747.75 and 510.66m2/g respectively. The adsorption mechanism of phosphate is electrostatic attraction, form coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds. The fabricated material is a promising adsorbent for the removal of phosphate with good reusability.

The changes in the pore structure and adsorption properties of sepiolite from Goles resulting from treatment with 4MHCl for various periods of time were investigated. The BET method specific surface areas, pore volumes and f ? plots were determined by nitrogen adsorption. The surface area progressively increased during the 70 hours of acid treatment, when a maximum was attained. The differences in the adsorption properties of the original and the acid treated sepiolite were evaluated by comparison of adsorption isotherms obtained with benzene, n-hexane, methanol and isooctane. The enhanced adsorption of isooctane was of great interest, since the sorption of this compound on natural sepiolites is generally very limited. The results suggest that chemical treatment of sepiolite with 4MHCl for 70 h produces an adsorbent of optimal porosity and other adsorption properties.

AbstractThree types of AlFePILCs pillared clays have been prepared from Algerian clay precursors. They have been characterized and tested in the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of cyclohexanone to caprolactone using benzaldehyde and oxygen as oxidant at room temperature. The structural and textural properties of the catalyst have been determined by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Mössbauer spectroscopy.The different activities of the clays have been related to their Fe contents and accessible surface areas. The induction period observed before the reaction started has been attributed to the dissolution of a portion of the Fe3+ cations, mediated by either the perbenzoic acid intermediate or the benzoic acid co-product. The reaction was indeed catalysed by a few ppm of dissolved iron cations and the catalysis of the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation reaction should mechanistically be considered as homogeneous.

The present paper studies a kind of mesoporous carbon (MC) with high electrochemical performance, which was prepared by vapor infiltration method. The microstructure and electrochemical properties of the mesoporous carbon were investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, cyclic voltammetry (CV), constant current charge–discharge cycling (CD), and the long-term stability test. The results indicated that the mesoporous carbon has an ordered mesoporous structure, with pore size of about 3.87 nm and surface areas of 1087 m2 ⋅ g-1. The cyclic voltammetry curve reveals typical electrical double-layer capacitor property. After 200 cycles, the CV curves can almost be overlapped, which indicates excellent cycling stability. From the charge/discharge cycling, the specific capacitance of MC is 117 F ⋅ cm-1 in 1.0 M KNO3 electrolyte media at a scan rate of 1.0 mV ⋅ s-1, which decays with increasing current density. The charge–discharge efficiency also decays with it.

The surface area is an important parameter in setting any biorefining technology. The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of sorption of methylene blue to characterize the surface of the main biomass carbohydrates: α-cellulose, sigmacell cellulose, natural gum, β-glucan, and starch. The morphology of particles of the model objects was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms demonstrate that the selected carbohydrates are macroporous adsorbents. The monolayer capacities, the energy constants of the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) equation, and specific surface areas were calculated using the BET theory, the comparative method proposed by Gregg and Sing, and the Harkins–Jura method. The method of methylene blue sorption onto biomass carbohydrates was adapted and mastered. It was demonstrated that sorption of methylene blue proceeds successfully in ethanol, thus facilitating surface characterization for carbohydrates that are either soluble in water or regain water. It was found that the methylene blue sorption values correlate with specific surface area determined by nitrogen adsorption/desorption and calculated from the granulometric data. As a result of electrostatic attraction, the presence of ion-exchanged groups on the analyte surface has a stronger effect on binding of methylene blue than the surface area does. Sorption of methylene blue can be used in addition to gas adsorption/desorption to assess the accessibility of carbohydrate surface for binding large molecules.

The aims of this work were to make use of carbonic materials to remove nitrobenzene in wastewater and investigate adsorption mechanism. The adsorption ability of different carbonic materials for nitrobenzene was compared. It was found that carbon nanotubes and carbon black exhibited higher adsorptive capacity than coconut activated carbon and granular activated carbon at the same experimental conditions. The specific surface areas and pore distribution was obtained by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption-desorption. We concluded that the capillary condensation in mesopores played an important role in the adsorption process owing to special nanostructure of carbon nanotubes and carbon black.

In this study, pillared layered clays were prepared by modifying Vietnamese bentonite with polymeric Al and Fe. The obtained materials were characteristic of X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal analysis, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms. The results indicated that hydroxy-aluminum ([Al13O4(OH)24(H2O)12]7+) and poly-hydroxyl-Fe or polyoxo-Fe cations were intercalated into layers of clay, resulting in an increase of d001 values and of the specific surface areas compared with those of initial bentonite. Modified bentonites were employed to adsorb As(V) from aqueous solution. The adsorption of As(V) was strongly dependent on solution pH, and the maximum adsorption of modified bentonites was obtained in the pH 3.0 for Fe-bentonite and the pH 4.0 for Al-bentonite. The equilibrium adsorption study showed that the data were well fit by the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of As(V) at 30°C derived from the Langmuir equation was 35.71 mg/g for Al-bentonite and 18.98 mg/g for Fe-bentonite. Adsorption kinetics, thermodynamics, and reusability of modified bentonites have been addressed.

The influence of the compensating cation (Na+, Li+, Mg2+) nature on the water adsorption properties of LTA and FAU-type zeolites was investigated. Cation exchanges were performed at 80 °C for 2 h using 1 M aqueous solutions of lithium chloride (LiCl) or magnesium chloride (MgCl2). XRF and ICP-OES analyses indicate that the cation exchange yields reach values between 59 to 89% depending on the number of exchange cycles and the nature of the zeolite and cation, while both zeolites structures are preserved during the process, as shown by XRD and solid state NMR analyses. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments indicate a higher available microporous volume when sodium cations are replaced by smaller monovalent lithium cations or by divalent magnesium cations because twice less cations are needed compared to monovalent cations. Up to 15% of gain in the available microporous volume is obtained for FAU-type zeolites exchanged with magnesium cation. This improvement facilitates the adsorption of water with an increase in the water uptake up to 30% for the LTA and FAU type zeolites exchanged with magnesium. These exchanged zeolites are promising for uses in water decontamination because a smaller amount is needed to trap the same amount of water compared to their sodium counterparts.
