Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N2O), the third most important greenhouse gas, is discharged from various anthropogenic sources and causes severe environmental problems. Herein, the natural mordenite zeolite is demonstrated to be an effective adsorbent to capture low-concentration N2O (below 30 ppm). An adsorption capacity of 0.076 mmol g−1 can be achieved at −7 °C with 1 ppm N2O in the dynamic adsorption test, 6.3 times as high as that at 25 °C. The density functional theory calculations reveal that the Ca-exchanged MOR-type zeolite has stronger interactions with N2O compared with the Na-exchanged one. However, as evidenced by the isosteric adsorption enthalpy analysis and the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the natural mordenite zeolite with both Na+ and Ca2+, as well as the synthesized analogue, demonstrates stronger and distinctive interactions with trace N2O in comparison to the MOR-type zeolites with single kind of extra-framework cation. These results provide experimental and theoretical foundations for the establishment of efficient N2O removal system using well designed zeolite-based adsorbents under proper operating conditions.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
