Description
Summary:<p>ZIF-8, Co-ZIF-8, and Zn/Co-ZIF-8 are utilized in adsorbing nitrogen (N<sub>2</sub>), methane (CH<sub>4</sub>), and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) gases at temperatures between 25 and 55°C and pressures up to ~1 MPa. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics are studied. The dual-site Langmuir equation is employed to correlate the nonisothermal adsorption equilibrium behavior. Generally, N<sub>2</sub> showed the lowest equilibrium adsorption quantity on the three samples, whereas CO<sub>2</sub> showed the highest equilibrium adsorption capacity. Amid the ZIF samples, the biggest adsorption quantities of N<sub>2</sub> and CH<sub>4</sub> were onto Zn/Co-ZIF-8, whereas the highest adsorption quantity of CO<sub>2</sub> was on ZIF-8. The isosteric heats of adsorbing these gases on ZIF-8, Co-ZIF-8, and Zn/Co-ZIF-8 were examined. Moreover, the overall mass transfer coefficients of adsorption at different temperatures were investigated. </p> <h2>Other information </h2> <p>Published in: Journal of Nanomaterials<br> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br> See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2019/6130152" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2019/6130152</a></p>
