CO2 Adsorption on Modified Mesoporous Silicas: The Role of the Adsorption Sites.

ABSTRACT: The post-synthesis procedure for cyclic amine (morpholine and 1-methylpiperazine) modified mesoporous MCM-48 and SBA-15 silicas was developed. The procedure for preparation of the modified mesoporous materials does not affect the structural characteristics of the initial mesoporous silicas strongly. The initial and modified materials were characterized by XRD, N2 physisorption, thermal analysis, and solid-state NMR. The CO2 adsorption of the obtained materials was tested under dynamic and equilibrium conditions. The NMR data revealed the formation of different CO2 adsorbed forms. The materials exhibited high CO2 absorption capacity lying above the benchmark value of 2 mmol/g and stretching out to the outstanding 4.4 mmol/g in the case of 1-methylpiperazin modified MCM-48. The materials are reusable, and their CO2 adsorption capacities are slightly lower in three adsorption/desorption cycles.

CO2 Adsorption on the N- and P-Modified Mesoporous Silicas.

Project description:SBA-15 and MCM-48 mesoporous silicas were modified with functionalized (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) by using the post-synthesis method, thus introducing N- and P-containing groups to the pore surface. The structure of the newly synthesized modifiers (aldimine and aminophosphonate derivatives of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and their grafting onto the porous matrix were proved by applying multinuclear NMR and FTIR spectroscopies. The content of the grafted functional groups was determined via thermogravimetric analysis. The physicochemical properties of the adsorbent samples were studied by nitrogen physisorption and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The adsorption capacity of CO2 was measured in a dynamic CO2 adsorption regime. The modified silicas displayed an enhanced adsorption capacity compared to the initial material. The 13C NMR spectra with high-power proton decoupling proved the presence of physically captured CO2. A value of 4.60 mmol/g was achieved for the MCM-48 material grafted with the Schiff base residues. The total CO2 desorption was achieved at 40 °C. A slight decrease of about 5% in CO2 adsorption capacities was registered for the modified silicas in three adsorption/desorption cycles, indicating their performance stability.

Toluene Adsorption by Mesoporous Silicas with Different Textural Properties: A Model Study for VOCs Retention and Water Remediation.

Project description:In this work, different mesoporous silicas were studied as potential sorbents for toluene, selected as a model molecule of aromatic organic fuel-based pollutants. Three siliceous materials with different textural and surface properties (i.e., fumed silica and mesoporous Santa Barbara Amorphous (SBA)-15 and Mobil Composition of matter (MCM)-41 materials) were considered and the effect of their physico-chemical properties on the toluene adsorption process was studied. In particular, FT-IR spectroscopy was used to qualitatively study the interactions between the toluene molecule and the surface of silicas, while volumetric adsorption analysis allowed the quantitative determination of the toluene adsorption capacity. The combined use of these techniques revealed that textural properties of the sorbents, primarily porosity, are the driving forces that control the adsorption process. Considering that, under real conditions of usage, the sorbents are soaked in water, their hydrothermal stability was also investigated and toluene adsorption by both the gas and aqueous phase on hydrothermally pre-treated samples was studied. The presence of ordered porosity, together with the different pore size distribution and the amount of silanol groups, strongly affected the adsorption process. In toluene adsorption from water, SBA-15 performed better than MCM-41.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry Study on the Adsorption of Myoglobin at Mesoporous Silicas: Effects of Solution pH and Pore Size.

Project description:In the present study, pore adsorption behavior of globular myoglobin (Mb) at mesoporous silicas was examined utilizing the low-temperature differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. The DSC method relies on a decrease in heat of fusion for the pore water upon adsorption of Mb. The amount and structure of Mb adsorbed into the mesoporous silica were examined by DSC and optical absorption spectroscopy. The results indicated that the pore adsorption behavior of Mb strongly depended on the solution pH and pore size of mesoporous silica. For the adsorption of Mb (diameter = 3.5 nm) into mesoporous silica with narrow pores (pore diameter = 3.3 nm) at a pH ranging from 7.0 to 3.7, the penetration of both folded and denatured Mb molecules was confirmed. The folded Mb could penetrate into large mesoporous silica pores (pore diameter = 5.3 and 7.9 nm), whereas the penetration of the denatured Mb molecules was completely inhibited. The distribution of folded Mb at mesoporous silica depended on the pore size; almost all folded Mb molecules located inside mesoporous silica pores of diameters 3.3 and 5.3 nm, whereas the Mb molecules distributed at bot internal and external pore surfaces of mesoporous silica with 7.9 nm in pore diameter. These pore adsorption behaviors suggest that aggregation or stacking of the Mb molecules at the pore entrance regions of the large pores affected the pore adsorption behavior.

Organically modified silicas on metal nanowires.

Project description:Organically modified silica coatings were prepared on metal nanowires using a variety of silicon alkoxides with different functional groups (i.e., carboxyl groups, polyethylene oxide, cyano, dihydroimidazole, and hexyl linkers). Organically modified silicas were deposited onto the surface of 6-μm-long, ∼300-nm-wide, cylindrical metal nanowires in suspension by the hydrolysis and polycondensation of silicon alkoxides. Syntheses were performed at several ratios of tetraethoxysilane to an organically modified silicon alkoxide to incorporate desired functional groups into thin organosilica shells on the nanowires. These coatings were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. All of the organically modified silicas prepared here were sufficiently porous to allow the removal of the metal nanowire cores by acid etching to form organically modified silica nanotubes. Additional functionality provided to the modified silicas as compared to unmodified silica prepared using only tetraethoxysilane precursors was demonstrated by chromate adsorption on imidazole-containing silicas and resistance to protein adsorption on polyethyleneoxide-containing silicas. Organically modified silica coatings on nanowires and other nano- and microparticles have potential application in fields such as biosensing or nanoscale therapeutics due to the enhanced properties of the silica coatings, for example, the prevention of biofouling.

Polyethylenimine-Modified Zeolite 13X for CO2 Capture: Adsorption and Kinetic Studies.

Project description:A class of high molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI)-modified zeolite 13X adsorbents were synthesized by varying the concentration of imines and screened for preliminary investigation of CO2 capture studies. The impregnated molecular amine zeolite composite was characterized and CO2 adsorption performance was investigated through TGA in the presence of atmospheric pure CO2 gas at 25, 50, 75, and 100 °C, respectively, using 20-80 wt % of PEI-loaded zeolite 13X adsorbents. This paper reports on the effects of temperature and amine (PEI) loading on CO2 adsorption capacity and estimated kinetic parameters through modeling of selected models which represent the reaction rate and diffusion rate models. The studied adsorbents showed the highest adsorption capacity at 75 °C with 60 wt % PEI loading. Thus, the optimum temperature of 75 °C and optimal loading of 60 wt % was observed from the current studies for CO2 capture. From modeling study, it was found that Avrami's fractional order and dual kinetic models (DKM) described well the adsorption behavior of CO2 on PEI-impregnated zeolite 13X at all temperatures accurately and up to 75 °C, respectively. Besides, intraparticle diffusion was found to be the rate-limiting step when compared with the film diffusion model.

Mechanisms and kinetics for sorption of CO2 on bicontinuous mesoporous silica modified with n-propylamine.

Project description:We studied equilibrium adsorption and uptake kinetics and identified molecular species that formed during sorption of carbon dioxide on amine-modified silica. Bicontinuous silicas (AMS-6 and MCM-48) were postsynthetically modified with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane or (3-aminopropyl)methyldiethoxysilane, and amine-modified AMS-6 adsorbed more CO(2) than did amine-modified MCM-48. By in situ FTIR spectroscopy, we showed that the amine groups reacted with CO(2) and formed ammonium carbamate ion pairs as well as carbamic acids under both dry and moist conditions. The carbamic acid was stabilized by hydrogen bonds, and ammonium carbamate ion pairs formed preferably on sorbents with high densities of amine groups. Under dry conditions, silylpropylcarbamate formed, slowly, by condensing carbamic acid and silanol groups. The ratio of ammonium carbamate ion pairs to silylpropylcarbamate was higher for samples with high amine contents than samples with low amine contents. Bicarbonates or carbonates did not form under dry or moist conditions. The uptake of CO(2) was enhanced in the presence of water, which was rationalized by the observed release of additional amine groups under these conditions and related formation of ammonium carbamate ion pairs. Distinct evidence for a fourth and irreversibly formed moiety was observed under sorption of CO(2) under dry conditions. Significant amounts of physisorbed, linear CO(2) were detected at relatively high partial pressures of CO(2), such that they could adsorb only after the reactive amine groups were consumed.

Synthesis of ordered Ca- and Li-doped mesoporous silicas for H2 and CO2 adsorption at ambient temperature and pressure.

Project description:Ca- and Li-doped mesoporous silicas have been prepared successfully using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant in basic media. Sol-gel synthesis and hydrothermal treatment produced highly ordered mesoporous Ca and Li loaded silica particles. The MCM-41 type mesostructures, the porosity, the pore sizes as well as the surface area of Ca- and Li-silicas have been thoroughly investigated using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N2 sorption analysis. Samples prepared with varying amounts of Li and Ca loading have been further analyzed using inductive coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with an energy dispersive spectral attachment (EDS), which confirmed quite a large amount of Ca while the amount of Li was not enough. Additionally, H2 and CO2 gas uptake studies of these metal-loaded silicas have been carried out using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) at normal temperature (25 °C) and pressure (1 atm). H2 uptake of up to 10 mmol g-1 by Ca-doped silica was recorded. CO2 and H2 selectivity were tested with both pure metal-MCM-41 and amine loaded silica using pure N2 gas and a mixed flow of CO2/N2 and H2/N2. The effect of temperature on CO2 uptake was also studied using Ca-MCM-41 materials.

Surfactant-assisted Nanocasting Route for Synthesis of Highly Ordered Mesoporous Graphitic Carbon and Its Application in CO2 Adsorption.

Project description:Highly ordered mesoporous graphitic carbon was synthesized from a simple surfactant-assisted nanocasting route, in which ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 maintaining its triblock copolymer surfactant was used as a hard template and natural soybean oil (SBO) as a carbon precursor. The hydrophobic domain of the surfactant assisted SBO in infiltration into the template's mesoporous channels. After the silica template was carbonized and removed, a higher yield of highly-ordered graphitic mesoporous carbon with rod-like morphology was obtained. Because of the improved structural ordering, the mesoporous carbon after amine modification could adsorb more CO2 compared with the amine-functionalized carbon prepared without the assistance of surfactant.

Study on novel modified large mesoporous silica FDU-12/polymer matrix nanocomposites for adsorption of Pb(II).

Project description:In this study, porous methacrylate-modified FDU-12/poly(methyl methacrylate) and amine-modified FDU-12/Nylon 6 nanocomposites were synthesized via a facile solution casting protocol. The physicochemical properties of the prepared materials were studied using various characterization techniques including Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. After characterization of the materials, the prepared nanocomposites were applied as novel adsorbents for the removal of Pb(II) from aqueous media. In this regard, the effect of various parameters including solution pH, adsorbent amount, contact time, and initial concentration of Pb(II) on the adsorption process was investigated. To study the mechanism of adsorption, kinetic studies were conducted. The kinetic models of pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion were employed. The results revealed that the adsorption of Pb(II) onto methacrylate-modified FDU-12/poly(methyl methacrylate) and amine-modified FDU-12/Nylon 6 adsorbents followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Also, different isotherms including Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich were applied to evaluate the equilibrium adsorption data. Langmuir isotherm provided the best fit with the equilibrium data of both adsorbents with maximum adsorption capacities of 99.0 and 94.3 mg g-1 for methacrylate-modified FDU-12/poly(methyl methacrylate) and amine-modified FDU-12/Nylon 6, respectively, for the removal of Pb(II).

Effects of morphology and pore size of mesoporous silicas on the efficiency of an immobilized enzyme.

Project description:An investigation is performed into the efficiency of the Streptomyces griseus HUT 6037 enzyme immobilized in three different mesoporous silicas, namely mesoporous silica film, mesocellular foam, and rod-like SBA-15. It is shown that for all three supports, the pH value changes the surface charge and charge density and hence determines the maximum loading capacity of the enzyme. The products of the enzyme hydrolytic reaction are analyzed by 1H-NMR. The results show that among the three silica supports, the mesoporous silica film (with a channel length in the range of 60-100 nm) maximizes the accessibility of the immobilized enzyme. The loading capacity of the enzyme is up to 95% at pH 7 and the activity of the immobilized enzyme is maintained for more than 15 days when using a silica film support. The order of the activity of the enzyme immobilized in different mesoporous silica supports is: mesoporous silica film > mesocellular foam > rod-like SBA-15. Furthermore, the immobilized enzyme can be easily separated from the reaction solution via simple filtration or centrifugation methods and re-used for hydrolytic reaction as required.
