Abstract
A high-pressure gravimetric sorption analyzer incorporating a magnetic suspension balance was set up for simultaneous density and sorption measurements in the temperature range of (273.15–368.15) K and pressures up to 15 MPa. The reliability of the apparatus was first examined by density measurements of four pure gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, and methane) at temperatures of (283.15–333.15) K with pressures up to 12 MPa. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) were estimated to be 60 mK for temperature, 0.2 or 3.0 kPa for pressure, and 0.1 % for pure fluid density determination. The density data measured with the newly commissioned apparatus were compared to values calculated with reference equations of state as implemented in the NIST REFPROP database version 10.0, with relative deviations mostly within 0.1 % after calibration. The apparatus was further validated through methane sorption measurements on ZIF-7, showing excellent agreement with data obtained from another well-calibrated gravimetric adsorption analyzer that has been extensively used for accurate measurements. Following this validation, the adsorption of six pure refrigerant gases (R-32, R-125, R-1234yf, R-134a, R-1234ze(E), and R-290) on ZIF-7 and ZIF-8 was studied to explore their potential for refrigerant blend separation (e.g., R-410A and R-513A). The results indicate that ZIF-8 could effectively separate R-32 from R-410A, while ZIF-7 has the potential to separate both R-32 from R-410A and R-1234yf from R-513A.
期刊介绍:
Fluid Phase Equilibria publishes high-quality papers dealing with experimental, theoretical, and applied research related to equilibrium and transport properties of fluids, solids, and interfaces. Subjects of interest include physical/phase and chemical equilibria; equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermophysical properties; fundamental thermodynamic relations; and stability. The systems central to the journal include pure substances and mixtures of organic and inorganic materials, including polymers, biochemicals, and surfactants with sufficient characterization of composition and purity for the results to be reproduced. Alloys are of interest only when thermodynamic studies are included, purely material studies will not be considered. In all cases, authors are expected to provide physical or chemical interpretations of the results.
Experimental research can include measurements under all conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition, including critical and supercritical. Measurements are to be associated with systems and conditions of fundamental or applied interest, and may not be only a collection of routine data, such as physical property or solubility measurements at limited pressures and temperatures close to ambient, or surfactant studies focussed strictly on micellisation or micelle structure. Papers reporting common data must be accompanied by new physical insights and/or contemporary or new theory or techniques.
