Abstract
Zeolites have been widely used as catalysts, ion exchangers, and adsorbents since their industrial breakthrough in the 1950s and continue to be state-of the-art adsorbents in many separation processes. Furthermore, their properties make them materials of choice for developing and emerging separation applications. The aim of this review is to put into context the relevance of zeolites and their use and prospects in adsorption technology. It has been divided into three different sections, i.e., zeolites, adsorption on nanoporous materials, and chemical separations by zeolites. In the first section, zeolites are explained in terms of their structure, composition, preparation, and properties, and a brief review of their applications is given. In the second section, the fundamentals of adsorption science are presented, with special attention to its industrial application and our case of interest, which is adsorption on zeolites. Finally, the state-of-the-art relevant separations related to chemical and energy production, in which zeolites have a practical or potential applicability, are presented. The replacement of some of the current separation methods by optimized adsorption processes using zeolites could mean an improvement in terms of sustainability and energy savings. Different separation mechanisms and the underlying adsorption properties that make zeolites interesting for these applications are discussed.

Abstract
Cenospheres (CS) are spherical shaped inorganic frameworks present in with fly ash which is generated from coal-fired thermal power plants. These spherical structures were functionalized with imidazole and amine moieties to capture CO2 selectively from flue gases at elevated temperature. The functionalized CS have shown a high selectivity for CO2 adsorption (4.68 mmol g-1) over N2 (0.46 mmol g-1) at 333 K/1 bar from a simulated flue gas (0.15 CO2 and 0.85 N2, v%) composition of thermal power plants. When the moisture content reached to 30 vol% the adsorption capacity of CS materials was reduced to 20 vol% as compared to dry flue gas. The functionalized CS can be used repeatedly for 50 cycles without losing its adsorption capacity. The cost estimate for CO2 capture by using the proposed adsorption system would be $12.01/ton of CO2 which is lower as compared to amine absorption system and zeolite-based adsorption system reported in the literature. The CS materials are prepared from solid wastes reduce the cost of production and their large scale manufacturing is technically feasible to capture CO2 from industrial flue gases efficiently in near future.

Abstract
![]()
For large-scale screening studies
there is a need to estimate the
diffusion of gas molecules in nanoporous materials more efficiently
than (brute force) molecular dynamics. In particular for systems with
low diffusion coefficients molecular dynamics can be prohibitively
expensive. An alternative is to compute the hopping rates between
adsorption sites using transition state theory. For large-scale screening
this requires the automatic detection of the transition states between
the adsorption sites along the different diffusion paths. Here an
algorithm is presented that analyzes energy grids for the moving particles.
It detects the energies at which diffusion paths are formed, together
with their directions. This allows for easy identification of nondiffusive
systems. For diffusive systems, it partitions the grid coordinates
assigned to energy basins and transitions states, permitting a transition
state theory based analysis of the diffusion. We test our method on
CH4 diffusion in zeolites, using a standard kinetic Monte
Carlo simulation based on the output of our grid analysis. We find
that it is accurate, fast, and rigorous without limitations to the
geometries of the diffusion tunnels or transition states.

Non-Linear Enthalpy-Entropy Correlation for Nitrogen Adsorption in Zeolites. Molecules 2018; 23:molecules23112978.

Abstract
The thermodynamics of dinitrogen adsorption in faujasite-type zeolites, Na-Y, Ca-Y and Sr-Y, were investigated by means of variable-temperature infrared spectroscopy, a technique that affords determination of the standard adsorption enthalpy (ΔH⁰) and entropy (ΔS⁰) from an analysis of the IR spectra recorded over a range of temperatures. The results obtained, taken together with previously reported values for N₂ adsorption on protonic zeolites, revealed a non-linear correlation between ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰. Implications of such a correlation for gas separation and purification by adsorption in porous solids are highlighted.

Abstract
Amine-impregnated adsorbents are promising candidates for the selective capture of CO2 from flue gas. The key is to develop suitable supports possessing large pore sizes and very large pore volumes, and the material has to be facilely synthesized from readily available reagents. In this work, hierarchical carbon nanosheet (CNS) featuring large pore width (30-100 nm) and extraordinarily huge pore volume (8.41 cm3/g) was prepared through controlled carbonization of glucose and dicyandiamide. The CNS was physically impregnated with pentaethylenehexamine (PEHA) to act as adsorbents for selective capture of CO2. Owing to the unique porosity of CNS, the amount of amine loading in CNS can be ultrahigh (6 g PEHA/g CNS) in comparison with those of known amine-impregnated adsorbents, and the CO2 capacity in a flow of 15 v/v % of CO2 balanced in N2 was up to 5.0 mmol/g at 75 °C. The synthesized PEHA-CNS composite materials perform well in capturing CO2 under humid condition and display good stability in a test of 10 adsorption-desorption cycles. It is believed that the CNS synthesized in this work has great potential to act as a support material for CO2 adsorption.

Abstract
The current state of the art in the application of variable-temperature IR (VTIR) spectroscopy to the study of (i) adsorption sites in zeolites, including dual cation sites; (ii) the structure of adsorption complexes and (iii) gas-solid interaction energy is reviewed. The main focus is placed on the potential use of zeolites for gas separation, purification and transport, but possible extension to the field of heterogeneous catalysis is also envisaged. A critical comparison with classical IR spectroscopy and adsorption calorimetry shows that the main merits of VTIR spectroscopy are (i) its ability to provide simultaneously the spectroscopic signature of the adsorption complex and the standard enthalpy change involved in the adsorption process; and (ii) the enhanced potential of VTIR to be site specific in favorable cases.

Abstract
Zeolites and structurally related materials (zeotypes) have received considerable attention as potential adsorbents for selective carbon dioxide adsorption. Within this group, zeotypes with aluminophosphate composition (AlPOs) could be an interesting alternative to the more frequently studied aluminosilicate zeolites. So far, however, only a few AlPOs have been characterised experimentally in terms of their CO2 adsorption properties. In this study, force-field based grand-canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations were used to evaluate the potential of AlPOs for CO2/N2 separation, a binary mixture that constitutes a suitable model system for the removal of carbon dioxide from flue gases. A total of 51 frameworks were considered, all of which have been reported either as pure AlPOs or as heteroatom-containing AlPO derivatives. Prior to the GCMC simulations, all structures were optimised using dispersion-corrected density-functional theory calculations. The potential of these 51 systems for CO2/N2 separation was assessed in preliminary calculations (Henry constants and CO2 uptake at selected pressures). On the basis of these calculations, 21 AlPOs of particular interest were selected, for which 15 : 85 CO2/N2 mixture adsorption isotherms were calculated up to 10 bar. For adsorption-based separations using an adsorption pressure of 1 bar (vacuum-swing adsorption), AlPOs with GIS, ATN, ATT, and SIV topologies were predicted to be most attractive, as they combine high CO2/N2 selectivities (75 to 140) and reasonable CO2 working capacities (1 to 1.7 mmol g-1). Under pressure-swing adsorption conditions, there is a tradeoff between selectivity and working capacity: while highly selective AlPOs like GIS reach only moderate working capacities, the frameworks with the highest working capacities above 2 mmol g-1, AFY, KFI, and SAV, have lower selectivities between 25 and 35. To gain atomic-level insights into the host-guest interactions, interaction energy maps were computed for selected AlPOs. The computational assessment presented here can guide future experimental efforts in the development and optimisation of AlPO-based adsorbents for selective CO2 adsorption.
