Published: October 2009

In the present work, honeycomb-shaped monoliths were easily extruded using local natural clays without the need of chemical binders. This finding allows significant cost reduction, in terms of not only additives and solvents but also the energy consumption required for their elimination by thermal treatment. The extruded monoliths were subject to mechanical strength testing in addition to the study of their thermal behavior, structural and textural properties. Moreover, one of their potential uses as VOCs adsorbents was evaluated in comparison with conventional packed bed by investigating their dynamic adsorptive and desorption behavior towards a model VOC of o-xylene type.

Background: Driven by emission regulations, the technology of emission control catalysts has been under increasing need for development. Understanding the deactivation mechanism of aged or spent automobile exhaust catalysts is the key to extending their service lifetime. However, the lack of comprehensive microstructural characterization results in an incomplete understanding of their physicochemical properties.

Experimental Study on the Kinetics of CO and HO Adsorption on Honeycomb Carbon Monoliths under Cement Flue Gas Conditions.

The main challenge of adsorption consists in the production of materials that can be used in real situations. This study comprehensively describes the CO and HO adsorption behavior of honeycomb-shaped sorbents commonly used in rapid pressure swing adsorption cycles (RPSA). With this purpose, the kinetics and equilibrium of adsorption of CO/HO/N mixtures on three honeycomb carbon monoliths (793, 932, and AM03) were assessed in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) under different postcombustion capture scenarios (temperature of 50 °C and several concentrations of CO).

Honeycomb-shaped cordierite monoliths are widely used as supports for a large number of industrial applications. However, the high manufacturing cost of cordierite monoliths only justifies its use for high temperatures and aggressive chemical environments, demanding applications where the economic benefit obtained exceeds the manufacturing costs. For low demanding applications, such as the preferential oxidation of CO (CO-PrOx), alternative materials can be proposed to reduce manufacturing costs.
