Abstract
A graphitized adsorbent of CO2, CH4 and H2 gases is prepared from pre-treated olive mill waste using pyrolysis method under N2 atmosphere. This organic adsorbent is found to have a large surface area of 1571 m2/g and high pore volume of 1.04 cm3/g. The isotherms analysis by using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method revealed that the aforementioned adsorbent exhibits mesopore structure coexisting with a microporous framework. Thanks to these textural properties, gases uptakes of this adsorbent at 298 K and 20 bars reach 5.62, 12.72 and 0.08 mmol/g for CH4, CO2 and H2, respectively, which are among the highest levels compared to other solids (zeolites, metal organic framework). The adsorption–desorption cycles performed for CH4, CO2 and H2 gases were found to be reversible indicating a possible and easily regeneration of the adsorbent. Considering all these advantages about low costs graphitization, great uptake of various gases, good physicochemical stability and reversibility, this adsorbent can be a promising candidate for gases storage.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
