Selective adsorption of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen using resorcinol-formaldehyde-xerogel activated carbon by Awadallah, Ahmed

“…Adsorption/desorption isotherms of CO2, CH4, and N2 gases onto RF-ACX adsorbent were measured gravimetrically by a magnetic suspension microbalance at five different temperatures (20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 °C) in the pressure range of 0–1 MPa. All adsorption/desorption isotherms were found to be favorable and well correlated with dual site Langmuir’s model. …”

Prospects Of Amino Acids And Ionic Liquids As Natural Gas Hydrate Inhibitors For Offshore Flow Assurance by Qureshi, M. Fahed Aziz

“…The inhibitors tend to show better hydrate inhibition effect at low pressures (40 bars) and their inhibition effect decreases as the pressure rises. At the same concentration (10 wt%), the ammonium-based ionic liquid [EA][Of] provided the inhibition effect similar to MEG and at the higher concentration (20 wt%) the amino acid glycine provided better hydrate inhibition effect than the MEG. …”
