Unique adsorption and desorption behaviour of ammo

项目类型

项目简介

Nanoparticles (NPs) of Zinc hexacynanocobaltate (ZnHCCo) were synthesised and characterized by analytical measurements. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed great thermal stability of the ZnHCCo NPs up to ~350 °C, even under ambient air conditions including water and oxygen. Ammonia (NH3) adsorption isotherms revealed that the ZnHCCo NPs exhibited a great adsorption capacity at room temperature. This was maintained at the heating temperatures 100–250 °C, in which the isotherm displayed special hysteresis curves in the adsorption/desorption processes. Based on these results, the ZnHCCo NPs were applied to NH3 gas adsorption/desorption in pressure (PSA) and temperature (TSA) swing adsorption processes by using a gas cell of FTIR, to confirm that both processes are possible. Characterisation before/after NH3 exposure, by in-situ FTIR and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) spectroscopy under dry or humid conditions, provided an understanding of the unique NH3 adsorption/desorption behaviour. The PXRD measurements suggested a crystal structure change of the ZnHCCo NPs after NH3 adsorption. Obtained results suggested a strong NH3 affinity of ZnHCCo, even though the structure was altered by the process. Owing to its high and unique ability, usage of non-rare metals, and cost-effectiveness of zinc, ZnHCCo shows a possibility as an adsorbent for NH3 in practical applications.
