Abstract
To effectively remove the harmful methyl chloride (CH3Cl) via an adsorption technique, it is crucial to enhance the surface characteristic of adsorbent. In this study, we prepared various heteroatom-substituted MWW-type zeolitic adsorbents through a simple hydrothermal treatment and investigated the effect of CH3Cl adsorption according to the substituted hetero elements. We systematically investigated the structural properties, chemical state of framework atoms, concentrations of hydroxyl groups, and amounts and strength of Lewis acid sites of the prepared zeolitic adsorbents. Among the studied adsorbents, the aluminosilicate Al-MWW exhibited the highest concentration and the strongest strength of Lewis acid site, coupled with moderate hydrophilicity. Despite its moderate hydrophilicity, this Al-MWW showed the highest CH3Cl adsorption capacity primarily due to its highest Lewis acidic properties. When the differences in Lewis acid concentrations were not significant, hydrophilicity played the second role in CH3Cl adsorption. Furthermore, the superior amount and strength of Lewis acid site of Al-MWW compared to the other x-MWW adsorbents resulted in the highest concentration and strongest affinity for chemisorbed CH3Cl.
