Abstract
The use of adsorbents for direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 is regarded as a promising and essential carbon dioxide removal technology to help meet the goals outlined by the 2015 Paris Agreement. A class of adsorbents that has gained significant attention for this application is ultramicroporous metal organic frameworks (MOFs). However, the necessary data needed to facilitate process scale evaluation of these materials is not currently available. Here, we investigate TIFSIX-3-Ni, a previously reported ultramicroporous MOF for DAC, and measure several physicochemical and equilibrium adsorption properties. We report its crystal structure, textural properties, thermal stability, specific heat capacity, CO2, N2, and H2O equilibrium adsorption isotherms at multiple temperatures, and Ar and O2 isotherms at a single temperature. For CO2, N2, and H2O, we also report isotherm model fitting parameters and calculate heats of adsorption. We assess the manufacturability and process stability of TIFSIX-3-Ni by investigating the impact of batch reproducibility, binderless pelletization, humidity, and adsorption-desorption cycling (50 cycles) on its crystal structure, textural properties, and CO2 adsorption. For pelletized TIFSIX-3-Ni, we also report its skeletal, pellet, and bed density, total pore volume, and pellet porosity. Overall, our data enable initial process modeling and optimization studies to evaluate TIFSIX-3-Ni for DAC at the process scale. They also highlight the possibility to pelletize TIFSIX-3-Ni and the limited stability of the MOF under humid and oxidative conditions as well as upon multiple adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
The toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), especially formaldehyde (FA), released from decoration materials pose a great threat to human health. In this study, formaldehyde adsorption performance of the specially formulated nanocellulose/chitosan aerogel (CNFCA) was investigated in simulated atmosphere. The physicochemical property of the composite aerogel was characterized, which had a large specific surface area (153.67 m2/g), a rough surface and an ultra-thin and porous structure. The composite aerogel showed excellent adsorption capacity for the formaldehyde, its theoretical maximum adsorption capacity was as high as 83.89 mg/g, and the adsorption process was more in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetics. The chromogenic reaction between the 4-amino-3-benzo-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazolium (AHMT) and CNFCA was found that the color of the composite aerogel was depended on the free formaldehyde concentration. Based on this phenomenon, a colorimetric card was proposed and built to detection the formaldehyde in the atmosphere. Moreover, the adsorption mechanism research was found that the CNFCA with a multilayer structure belonged to physicochemical complex adsorption.

Abstract
Direct air capture (DAC) using solid adsorbents has gained significant attention as a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology to help limit global temperature rise to below 2 °C. One large area of focus is the development of new adsorbent materials for DAC. However, the necessary data needed to employ these materials in process models for adsorbent screening are rarely available. Here, we showcase Purolite A110, a commercially available amine-functionalized polymeric resin, as a new candidate adsorbent for DAC and compare its properties to a current benchmark, Lewatit VP OC 1065. For both materials, we report their chemical features and composition, skeletal, particle, and bed density, total pore volume, particle porosity, BET area, thermal stability, and specific heat capacity. We determine their equilibrium sorption properties by measuring the volumetric CO2 isotherms at 288, 298, 308, 333, 343, 353, and 393 K, N2 and H2O isotherms at 288, 298, and 308 K, and Ar and O2 isotherms at 298 K. For CO2, N2, and H2O, we also present the corresponding isotherm model fitting parameters and heats of adsorption. These data can help facilitate process modeling and optimization studies to properly assess these adsorbents at scale.

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL AND ENGINEERING DATA 2023; 68:3512-3524. [PMID: 38115914 PMCID: PMC10726315 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jced.3c00504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 09/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
The equilibrium adsorption of CO2, N2, and H2 on commercially available Zeolite H-Y, Na-Y, and cation-exchanged NaTMA-Y was measured up to 3 MPa at 298.15, 313.15, 333.15, 353.15, and 393.15 K gravimetrically using a magnetic suspension balance. The chemical and textural characterization of the materials was carried out by thermogravimetric analysis, helium gravimetry, and N2 (77 K) physisorption. We report the excess and net isotherms as measured and estimates of the absolute adsorption isotherms. The latter are modeled using the simplified statistical isotherm (SSI) model to evaluate adsorbate-adsorbent interactions and parametrize the data for process modeling. When reported per unit volume of zeolite supercage, the SSI model indicates that the saturation capacity for a given gas takes the same value for the three adsorbents. The Henry's constants predicted by the model show a strong effect of the cation on the affinity of each adsorbate.
