Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of NH4NO3 modification and calcination pretreatment on the hydrogen adsorption properties of Gördes clinoptilolite (CLN). The H+ form (H-CLN) was obtained by modification with 1.0 M NH4NO3 for 12 h followed by calcining at 450 °C for 6 h. The cation-exchanged samples of the H-CLN were obtained with 0.1 and 0.5 M of NaNO3, KNO3, LiNO3, AgNO3, Ni(NO3)2, Ca(NO3)2, Cu(NO3)2 and Mg(NO3)2 solutions. XRD analysis demonstrated that the pretreatment used did not lead to the loss of the crystalline structure of the samples. XRF results indicated a slight increase in the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, from 5.35 for CLN to 5.45–5.84 for H-CLN and its cation-exchanged forms. The BET surface areas (35.68–259.18 m2 g−1) and hydrogen adsorption capacities of the CLNs (0.244–0.726 wt% at 77 K) demonstrated that the applied NH4NO3 exchange and calcination pretreatment markedly enhanced the textural and gas adsorption properties. The 0.5-Li-CLN exhibited the highest hydrogen adsorption capacity of 0.726 wt%.
期刊介绍:
The objective of the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy is to facilitate the exchange of new ideas, technological advancements, and research findings in the field of Hydrogen Energy among scientists and engineers worldwide. This journal showcases original research, both analytical and experimental, covering various aspects of Hydrogen Energy. These include production, storage, transmission, utilization, enabling technologies, environmental impact, economic considerations, and global perspectives on hydrogen and its carriers such as NH3, CH4, alcohols, etc.
The utilization aspect encompasses various methods such as thermochemical (combustion), photochemical, electrochemical (fuel cells), and nuclear conversion of hydrogen, hydrogen isotopes, and hydrogen carriers into thermal, mechanical, and electrical energies. The applications of these energies can be found in transportation (including aerospace), industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.
