Efficient Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds by FAU-Type Zeolite Coatings.

ABSTRACT: Silicone and pure organic binders were used to develop FAU-type zeolite coatings applied on pre-treated aluminum substrates by using a spraying method and then cured under specific conditions. The influence of the amount of binder on adhesion properties of zeolite coatings was first investigated to determine the optimum ratio between zeolite and binder. Zeolite coatings were then elaborated with a high zeolite content (between 70 and 80 wt.%) to ensure high adsorption capacities. The amount of binders involved in different zeolite coatings was sufficient to achieve interesting adhesion and cohesion properties. The accessibility of zeolite microporosity was studied by nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, which revealed a very small or no loss of the micropore volume for the optimized coatings. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) adsorption measurements were carried out using n-hexane as probe molecule. FAU-type zeolite in powder form adsorbs 180 mg/ganhydrous zeolite, whereas the amounts of n-hexane adsorbed by zeolite coatings ranged from 131 to 175 mg/ganhydrous zeolite.

Nanostructured micro/mesoporous graphene: removal performance of volatile organic compounds.

Project description:In this study, we demonstrate an integrated synthesis strategy, which is conducted by the thermochemical process, consisting of pre- and post-activation by thermal treatment and KOH activation for the reduction of graphite oxide. A large number of interconnected pore networks with a micro/mesoporous range were constructed on a framework of graphene layers with a specific surface area of up to 1261 m2 g-1. This suggests a synergistic effect of thermally exfoliated graphene oxide (TEGO) on the removal efficiency of volatile organic compounds by generating pore texture with aromatic adsorbates such as benzene, toluene, and o-xylene (denoted as BTX) from an inert gaseous stream concentration of 100 ppm. As a proof of concept, TEGO, as well as pre- and post-activated TEGO, were used as adsorbents in a self-designed BTX gas adsorption apparatus, which exhibited a high removal efficiency of up to 98 ± 2%. The distinctive structure of TEGO has a significant effect on removal performance, which will greatly facilitate the strategy of efficient VOC removal configurations.

Volatile organic compounds in 169 energy-efficient dwellings in Switzerland.

Project description:Exposure to elevated levels of certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in households has been linked to deleterious health effects. This study presents the first large-scale investigation of VOC levels in 169 energy-efficient dwellings in Switzerland. Through a combination of physical measurements and questionnaire surveys, we investigated the influence of diverse building characteristics on indoor VOCs. Among 74 detected compounds, carbonyls, alkanes, and alkenes were the most abundant. Median concentration levels of formaldehyde (14 μg/m3 ), TVOC (212 μg/m3 ), benzene (<0.1 μg/m3 ), and toluene (22 μg/m3 ) were below the upper exposure limits. Nonetheless, 90% and 50% of dwellings exceeded the chronic exposure limits for formaldehyde (9 μg/m3 ) and TVOC (200 μg/m3 ), respectively. There was a strong positive correlation among VOCs that likely originated from common sources. Dwellings built between 1950s and 1990s, and especially, those with attached garages had higher TVOC concentrations. Interior thermal retrofit of dwellings and absence of mechanical ventilation system were associated with elevated levels of formaldehyde, aromatics, and alkanes. Overall, energy-renovated homes had higher levels of certain VOCs compared with newly built homes. The results suggest that energy efficiency measures in dwellings should be accompanied by actions to mitigate VOC exposures as to avoid adverse health outcomes.

Preparation and Adsorption Performance Study of Graphene Quantum Dots@ZIF-8 Composites for Highly Efficient Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds

Project description:Based on the large specific surface area and excellent adsorption potential of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) materials, a GQDs@ZIF-8 composite was constructed to achieve optimal matching of the microstructure and to acquire efficient adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). GQDs and ZIF-8 were synthesized and then compounded by the solution co-deposition method to obtain GQDs@ZIF-8 composites. GQDs were uniformly decorated on the surface of the ZIF-8 metal-organic framework (MOF), effectively restraining the agglomeration, improving the thermal stability of ZIF-8 and forming abundant active sites. Thus, the VOC removal percentage and adsorption capacity of the GQDs@ZIF-8 composites were significantly improved. Toluene and ethyl acetate were chosen as simulated VOC pollutants to test the adsorption performance of the composites. The results showed that, after the addition of GQDs, the adsorption property of GQDs@ZIF-8 composites for toluene and ethyl acetate was obviously improved, with maximum adsorption capacities of 552.31 mg/g and 1408.59 mg/g, respectively, and maximum removal percentages of 80.25% and 93.78%, respectively, revealing extremely high adsorption performance. Compared with raw ZIF-8, the maximum adsorption capacities of the composites for toluene and ethyl acetate were increased by 53.82 mg/g and 104.56 mg/g, respectively. The kinetics and isotherm study revealed that the adsorption processes were in accordance with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and the Freundlich isotherm model. The thermodynamic results indicated that the adsorption process of the GQDs@ZIF-8 composites was a spontaneous, endothermic and entropy increase process. This study provides a new way to explore MOF-based adsorption materials with high adsorption capacity which have broad application prospects in VOC removal fields.

Synthesis of ZSM-5/Siliceous Zeolite Composites for Improvement of Hydrophobic Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds.

Project description:In this research, we investigated the hydrophobicity and dynamic adsorption-desorption behaviors of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by applying different optimized coating dosage (25, 50, and 75%) on designed novel ZSM-5/MCM-41 and ZSM-5/Silicalite-1 hierarchical composites. The relatively large specific surface area and pore volume of adsorbents ZSM-5/MCM-41 and ZSM-5/Silicalite-1 composites with excellent stability were affirmed by ex-situ XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM, and water contact angle analyses. Regarding, toluene adsorption-desorption investigation, ZSM-5/MCM-41 composite lead a longer stable toluene breakthrough time no matter under dry or 50% humid conditions. However, under different loading dosage condition, the breakthrough time of 75% coating ratio was the longest, which was 1.6 times as long as that of pure ZSM-5 under wet adsorption. Meanwhile, the complete elimination of toluene for ZSM-5/MCM-41-75% was done by largest desorption peak area and the lowest desorption temperature of 101.9°C, while, the largest contact angle of ZSM-5/MCM-41-75% was 17.0° higher than pure ZSM-5 zeolite. Therefore, we believe that the present hydrophobic sorbent will provide new insight with great research potential for removing low concentration of VOCs at industrial scale.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Profile in Colorectal Cancer Patients and Healthy Controls.

Project description:Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are low molecular weight (<1 kDa) compounds which represent the final products of cell metabolism. Their composition can be affected by several factors including diet, hormones, environment and the presence of diseases, in particular, cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the commonest tumours and is an important cause of cancer-related mortality. The expression of VOCs in breath that are linked to a patient’s disease state could offers a powerful, non-invasive approach to identifying CRC patients.

Self-wetting triphase photocatalysis for effective and selective removal of hydrophilic volatile organic compounds in air.

Project description:Photocatalytic air purification is widely regarded as a promising technology, but it calls for more efficient photocatalytic materials and systems. Here we report a strategy to introduce an in-situ water (self-wetting) layer on WO3 by coating hygroscopic periodic acid (PA) to dramatically enhance the photocatalytic removal of hydrophilic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air. In ambient air, water vapor is condensed on WO3 to make a unique tri-phasic (air/water/WO3) system. The in-situ formed water layer selectively concentrates hydrophilic VOCs. PA plays the multiple roles as a water-layer inducer, a surface-complexing ligand enhancing visible light absorption, and a strong electron acceptor. Under visible light, the photogenerated electrons are rapidly scavenged by periodate to produce more •OH. PA/WO3 exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity for acetaldehyde degradation with an apparent quantum efficiency of 64.3% at 460 nm, which is the highest value ever reported. Other hydrophilic VOCs like formaldehyde that are readily dissolved into the in-situ water layer on WO3 are also rapidly degraded, whereas hydrophobic VOCs remain intact during photocatalysis due to the "water barrier effect". PA/WO3 successfully demonstrated an excellent capacity for degrading hydrophilic VOCs selectively in wide-range concentrations (0.5-700 ppmv).

Natural Cellulose-Based Multifunctional Nanofibers for the Effective Removal of Particulate Matter and Volatile Organic Compounds.

Project description:Multifunctional nanofibers for particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) removal from the indoor atmospheric environment were manufactured from eco-friendly natural cellulose materials via electrospinning using an optimized solvent system containing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimAC) and dimethylformide (DMF) in a 3:7 volume ratio. EmimAC improved the cellulose stability, whereas DMF improved the electrospinnability of the material. Various cellulose nanofibers were manufactured using this mixed solvent system and characterized according to the cellulose type, such as hardwood pulp, softwood pulp, and cellulose powder, and cellulose content ranging from 6.0-6.5 wt%. The correlation between the precursor solution alignment and electrospinning properties indicated an optimal cellulose content of 6.3 wt% for all cellulose types. The hardwood pulp-based nanofibers possessed the highest specific surface area and exhibited high efficiency for eliminating both PM and VOCs, with a PM2.5 adsorption efficiency of 97.38%, PM2.5 quality factor of 0.28, and toluene adsorption of 18.4 mg/g. This study will contribute to the development of next-generation eco-friendly multifunctional air filters for indoor clean-air environments.

Tracking the rearrangement of atomic configurations during the conversion of FAU zeolite to CHA zeolite.

Project description:In order to realize designed synthesis, understanding the formation mechanism of zeolites at an atomic level has long been aspired, but remains challenging due to the fact that the knowledge of atomic configurations of the species formed during the process is limited. We focus on a synthesis system that crystallizes CHA zeolite from FAU zeolite as the sole source of tetrahedral atoms of Si and Al, so that end-to-end characterization can be conducted. Solid-state 29Si MAS NMR is followed by high-throughput computational modeling to understand how atomic configurations changed during the interzeolite conversion. This reveals that the structural motif commonly found in FAU and CHA is not preserved during the conversion; rather, there is a specific rearrangement of silicates and aluminates within the motif. The atomic configuration of CHA seems to be influenced by that of the starting FAU, considering that CHA synthesized without using FAU results in a random Al distribution. A Metropolis Monte-Carlo simulation combined with a lattice minimization technique reveals that CHA derived from FAU has energetically favorable, biased atomic locations, which could be a result of the atomic configurations of the starting FAU. These results suggest that by choosing the appropriate reactant, Al placement could be designed to enhance the targeted properties of zeolites for catalysis and adsorption.

Heteroatom Manipulation of Zeolite Crystallization: Stabilizing Zn-FAU against Interzeolite Transformation.

Project description:The preparation of metastable zeolites is often restricted to a limited range of synthesis conditions, which is exemplified in commercial syntheses lacking organics to stabilize the crystal structure. In the absence of an organic structure-directing agent, interzeolite transformation is a common phenomenon that can lead to undesirable products or impurities. Many studies have investigated the substitution of Si and Al in zeolite frameworks with alternative elements (heteroatoms) as a means of tailoring the properties of zeolites; however, relatively few studies have systematically explored the impact of heteroatoms on interzeolite transformations and their concomitant effects on zeolite crystallization. In this study, we examine methods to prepare isostructures of faujasite (FAU), which is one of the most commercially relevant zeolites and also a thermodynamically metastable structure. A survey of multivalent elements revealed that zinc is capable of stabilizing FAU at high temperatures and inhibiting its frequent transformation to zeolite gismondine (GIS). Using combined experimental and computational studies, we show that zinc alters the chemical nature of growth mixtures by sequestering silicates. Zinc heteroatoms incorporate in the FAU framework with a loading-dependent coordination. Our collective findings provide an improved understanding of driving forces for the FAU-to-GIS interzeolite transformation where we observe that heteroatoms (e.g., zinc) can stabilize zeolite FAU over a broad range of synthesis conditions. Given the growing interest in heteroatom-substituted zeolites, this approach to preparing zinc-containing FAU may prove applicable to a broader range of zeolite structures.
