CO₂ Adsorption Enhanced by Tuning the Layer Charge in a Clay Mineral.

ABSTRACT: Due to the compact two-dimensional interlayer pore space and the high density of interlayer molecular adsorption sites, clay minerals are competitive adsorption materials for carbon dioxide capture. We demonstrate that with a decreasing interlayer surface charge in a clay mineral, the adsorption capacity for CO₂ increases, while the pressure threshold for adsorption and swelling in response to CO₂ decreases. Synthetic nickel-exchanged fluorohectorite was investigated with three different layer charges varying from 0.3 to 0.7 per formula unit of Si₄O₁₀F₂. We associate the mechanism for the higher CO₂ adsorption with more accessible space and adsorption sites for CO₂ within the interlayers. The low onset pressure for the lower-charge clay is attributed to weaker cohesion due to the attractive electrostatic forces between the layers. The excess adsorption capacity of the clay is measured to be 8.6, 6.5, and 4.5 wt % for the lowest, intermediate, and highest layer charges, respectively. Upon release of CO₂, the highest-layer charge clay retains significantly more CO₂. This pressure hysteresis is related to the same cohesion mechanism, where CO₂ is first released from the edges of the particles thereby closing exit paths and trapping the molecules in the center of the clay particles.

Project description:Plastics contribute a magnificent role to modern civilization, but the waste becomes a huge burden to ecology and remains intact for a thousand years. Hence, the recent movement is shifted to biodegradable plastic. In this study, an attempt was made to introduce an added value to the environment where the bio-plasticized materials were used for phosphate removal. A G-plasticized magnetic starch-based Fe3O4 clay polymer nanocomposite (PNC) was synthesized to remove phosphate from the aqueous solution. It was synthesized from activated carbon (AC), coated iron oxide nanoparticles (CIONP), nanoclay (NC), and glycerol (G) as a plasticizer. The synthesized adsorbents were characterized with UV-Vis, SEM, XRD, and FTIR. The PNC and constituent (CIONP) were tested for phosphate removal through batch adsorption experiments. The adsorption capacity increases with increasing the adsorbent dose and decreases with an increase in phosphate concentration. The synthesized PNC effectively raised the constituent optimum phosphate ion adsorption pH from acidic (pH = 3) to slightly acidic (pH = 6). At the optimal pH, the CIONP and PNC maximum phosphate adsorption capacity (MPAC) was 3.12 and 2.31 mg P/g, respectively. In addition, the phosphate removal efficiency of PNC (45-95% at pH 6) was comparable to CIONP (58-97% at pH 3) under an initial 2-100 mg P/L. The adsorbents adsorption kinetics and isotherm study best described by the pseudo-second-order and Freundlich model, in turn. The SEM images support the conclusion, in which the PNC shows a heterogenous porous surface. Therefore, the adsorption mechanisms were mainly described by multilayer and chemical adsorption, such as electrostatic and ion exchange. It can be concluded that there is a positive synergistic effect between the biopolymer (starch) and nanomaterials that form the PNC. This study results propose the multiple added values of modified bio-plasticized material (with adsorbent) for environmental (phosphate) remediation.
