The objective of this research is to study the performance of an inexpensive high-surface-area nanoporous titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) on the CO 2 /H 2 separation and resulting pre-combustion CO 2 capture. The experiments were carried out at different temperatures (25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 °C) and pressures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 bar) using a fixed-bed adsorber. The data obtained for the pure component isotherms and binary gas mixtures were correlated using Sips and Langmuir−Freundlich binary-component-expanded isotherm adsorption (LFBE) models, respectively. Also, the deactivation model was used to simulate the observed CO 2 sorption breakthrough curves. Experimental results show that the capture capacities of the sorbent for both H 2 and CO 2 were improved with the increase in the pressure and decrease in the temperature. The maximum sorption capacities for pure CO 2 and H 2 were found to be 14.4 and 5.2 mmol/g of TiO 2 at 35 bar and 25 °C, respectively. The increase in the temperature and decrease in the pressure improve the sorption selectivity of TiO 2 for CO 2 . The selectivity value of TiO 2 reached 9.87 at 125 °C and 5 bar for a CO 2 /H 2 molar ratio of 50:50. TiO 2 also shows great stability and regenerability. This study indicates that nanoporous TiO 2 is potentially a cost-effective and robust CO 2 /H 2 separation agent and provides the knowledge needed for further demonstration of the nanoporous TiO 2 -based pre-combustion CO 2 separation technology.
This paper reports the investigation on non-fragile state feedback control for stochastic Markovian jump systems with uncertain parameters and mode-dependent time-varying delays. The resulted closed-loop system is stochastic stabilization by virtue of an improved L-K functional. By free-weight-matrix technique, the non-fragile state feedback controller is designed and novel conditions for robust stochastic stabilization are acquired in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Two examples including a take-off and landing guidance system are employed to show the effectiveness and validity of the proposed approach.INDEX TERMS Non-fragile controller, Itô stochastic system, parametric uncertain Markovian jump system, stochastic stabilization, mode-dependent time-varying delays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
