The decomposition of dolomite into CaO and MgO was performed at 1073 K in vacuum and at 1273 K in an Ar atmosphere. The dolomite calcined in vacuum was found to have a higher specific surface area and a higher micropore volume when compared to the dolomite calcined in the Ar atmosphere. These pyrolysis products of dolomite were reacted with CO2at 673 K for 21.6 ks. On the absorption of CO2, the formation of CaCO3was observed. The degree of absorption of the dolomite calcined in vacuum was determined to be above 50%, which was higher than the degree of absorption of the dolomite calcined in the Ar atmosphere. The CO2absorption and release procedures were repeated three times for the dolomite calcined in vacuum. The specific surface area and micropore volume of calcined dolomite decreased with successive repetitions of the CO2absorption and release cycles leading to a decrease in the degree of absorption of CO2.

In order to study the effects of a messmate heartwood extraction process on its cell wall pore structure and its drying ability, its nanopore structure was explored after via gas adsorption technology. Specifically, the messmate heartwood particles were extracted with methanol, and then the cell wall pore structure of the original and extracted samples were evaluated by N2 and CO2 sorption and pycnometer methods, respectively. Overall, compared with the original samples, the cell wall porosity, micropore volume, mesopore volume, BET specific surface area, and specific surface area of the micropores of the extracted messmate heartwoods increased by 2.55%, 0.007 cm3/g, 0.0014 cm3/g, 0.24 m2·g-1, and 21.9 m2·g-1, respectively. The cell wall pore volume measured via the gas adsorption method was smaller than the measurement from the pycnometer method. The results indicated that the presence of extractives made the messmate cell wall have a decreased pore volume and porosity, which may be one of the reasons messmate wood is difficult to dry. Messmate extractives primarily were present in the micropores of the cell wall in the range of 0.4 nm to 0.7 nm. However, gas sorption technology could not detect all the pores in the cell wall of the messmate heartwood sample.

Diffuse Reflectance Infrared

This study focused on natural materials such as clinoptilolite (CLI), metakaolin (MK), marlstone (MRL) and phonolite (PH). Clinoptilolite is one of the most known and common natural minerals (zeolites) with a unique porous structure, metakaolin is calcined kaolin clay, marlstone is a sedimentary rock and phonolite is an igneous rock composed of alkali feldspar and other minerals. These natural materials are mainly used in the building industry (additions for concrete mixtures, production of paving, gravels) or for water purification, but the modification of their chemical, textural and mechanical properties makes these materials potentially usable in other industries, especially in the chemical industry. The modification of these natural materials and rocks was carried out by leaching using 0.1 M HCl (D1 samples) and then using 3 M HCl (D2 samples). This treatment could be an effective tool to modify the structure and composition of these materials. Properties of modified materials were determined by N2 physisorption, Hg porosimetry, temperature programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) and CO2 adsorption using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results of N2 physisorption measurements showed that that the largest increase of specific surface area was for clinoptilolite leached using 3M HCl. There was also a significant increase of the micropore volume in the D2 samples. The only exception was marlstone, where the volume of micropores was zero even in the leached sample. Clinoptilolite had the highest acidity and sorption capacity of CO2. TGA showed that the amount of CO2 adsorbed was not significantly related to the increase in specific surface area and the opening of micropores. Hg porosimetry showed that acid leaching using 0.1 M HCl and 3 M HCl resulted in a significant increase in the macropore volume in phonolite, and during leaching using 3M HCl there was an increase of the mesopore volume. From the better properties, cost-efficient and environmental points of view, the use of these materials could be an interesting solution for catalytic and sorption applications.

Sterilization Process

Activated carbon cloth dressing is an appropriate wound healing material due to its biocompatibility and adsorption characteristics. The influence of gamma radiation as a sterilization process on the adsorption and mechanical properties of activated carbon cloth was investigated. The specific surface area, micropore volume, pore size distribution, surface chemistry as well as the breaking load of activated carbon cloth before and after gamma radiation were examined. Characterization by nitrogen adsorption showed that the activated carbon cloth was a microporous material with a high specific surface area and micropores smaller than 1 nm. Gamma radiation decreased the specific surface area and micropore volume but increased the pore width. The sterilization process changed the surface chemistry quantitatively, but not qualitatively. In addition, the breaking load decreased but without any influence considering the further application of this material.

This paper reported the production of precursor PAN/MnO2 nanofibers via electrospinning method and studying its microstructural properties. The nanofibers were prepared by electrospun the polymer solution of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and Manganese Oxide (MnO2) in, N, N-Dimethylformamide as its solvent. The factors considered in this study were polymer PAN/ MnO2 concentration which will significantly affect the specific surface area, nanofibers morphology, micropore volume and diameter of the nanofibers. The nanofibers were characterized using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area, and Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The addition of MnO2 in polymer solution increased the specific surface area of the nanofibers up to 3.5 wt % which found to be its optimum loading. In conclusion, the precursor PAN/ MnO2 -based ACNF were successfully produced with the optimization of metal oxide loading resulting to nanofibers with higher specific surface area which will further increased its adsorption performance.

AbstractNitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms were obtained for microcrystalline, platy crystals of synthetic Al-substituted goethites synthesized from the ferrous system and heated to 260°C. Specific surface area, cumulative pore area and frequency of mesopore wall-separations of 2–15 nm in size increased as Al substitution increased. Nanometre-size micropores developed at heating temperatures between 200 and 240°C and decreased during the growth of hematite crystals between 240 and 260°C. Aluminium substitution had little effect on micropore development and a moderate effect on mesopore development. The increases in micropore volume and specific surface area due to heating are much smaller than is reported in the literature for large, lath-like crystals of goethite that develop abundant slit-shaped micropores.

Foam Composite

Characterization of porous materials is essential for predicting and modeling their adsorption performance, strength, and durability. However, studies on the optimization of the pore structure to efficiently remove pollutants in the atmosphere by physical adsorption of construction materials have been insufficient. This study investigated the pore structure characteristics of foam composites. Porous foam composites were fabricated using foam composite with high porosity, open pores, and palm shell active carbon with micropores. The content was substituted 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by volume of cement. From the measured nitrogen adsorption isotherm, the pore structure of the foam composite was analyzed using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) theory, Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) analysis, and Harkins-jura adsorption isotherms. From the analysis results, it was found that activated carbon increases the specific surface area and micropore volume of the foam composite. The specific surface area and micropore volume of the foam composite containing 15% activated carbon were 106.48 m2/g and 29.80 cm3/g, respectively, which were the highest values obtained in this study. A foam composite with a high micropore volume was found to be effective for the adsorption of air pollutants.
