The hydrogen adsorption and desorption properties of a microporous metal-organic framework, magnesium formate, are investigated. The material has channel-like pores of approximately 3.4 A diameter. The pore size is below the kinetic diameter of nitrogen and causes a breakdown of the linear relationship between maximum hydrogen uptake and specific surface area measured by nitrogen adsorption. From the experimental isotherms the isosteric heat of adsorption for hydrogen is calculated with very high accuracy over a wide range of surface coverage, up to 80 %. The isosteric heat of adsorption is 6.5-7 kJ mol(-1) which is one of the highest values ever observed over the whole range of surface coverage.

Increasing demand for high-purity fine chemicals and a drive for process intensification of large-scale separations have driven significant work on the development of highly engineered porous materials with promise for sorption-based separations. While sorptive separations in porous materials offer energy-efficient alternatives to longstanding thermal-based methods, the particulate nature of many of these sorbents has sometimes limited their large-scale deployment in high-throughput applications such as gas separations, for which the necessary high feed flow rates and gas velocities accrue prohibitive operational costs. These processability limitations have been historically addressed through powder shaping methods aimed at the fabrication of structured sorbent contactors based on pellets, beads or monoliths, commonly obtained as extrudates.

In this study, the interaction of waste snake skin (Periostracum serpentis), a keratin-based biowaste composite material, with uranyl ions, the predominant form of uranium in aqueous solutions, was investigated to determine whether it could be used as an adsorbent. SEM, FTIR, BET and EDX analyses were performed to elucidate the material's surface and structural properties. The effects of the amount of adsorbent, uranyl ion concentration, pH, temperature, and adsorption time were investigated to optimize uranium removal with this material.

We have studied the performance changes of Cu-BTC, Cu-MBTC and Cu-EBTC under different water-containing conditions. GCMC studies shows that, compared with Cu-BTC, the water absorption properties of Cu-MBTC and Cu-EBTC have a certain degree of decline, which is consistent with the experimental results.

This study aims to explore the mechanism behind the influence of stress on gas adsorption by coal during deep mining and improve the accuracy of gas disaster prevention and control. To achieve this aim, thermodynamic analysis was conducted on the process of gas adsorption by loaded coal, and modified thermodynamic model proposed by previous scholars. It is found that stress plays an important role in gas adsorption by coal.

CO capture from the flue gas is a promising approach to mitigate global warming. However, regulating the carbon-based adsorbent in terms of textural and surface modification is still a challenge. To overcome this issue, the present study depicts the development of cost-effective and high-performance CO adsorbents derived from petroleum coke, an industrial by-product, using a two-step process involving thiourea modification and KOH activation.
