Adsorption Deformation of Microporous Carbon Adsorbent Fas at Adsorp-Tion of Water and Acetone Vapors

Abstract

For the first time, complex studies were carried out on adsorption deformation – sorbostriction of microporous carbon adsorbent FAS at adsorption of water and acetone vapors from the flow of carrier gas – nitrogen in non-equilibrium conditions. The results of this phenomenon were analyzed and the laws of the sorption of the microporous carbon adsorbent FAS during the adsorption of substances of different classes and different purposes in non-equilibrium conditions are established. In work a microporous carbon adsorbent FAS, obtained on the basis of furfural was used. Active coals on the basis of thermosetting plastics grades of FAS are significantly better than commercially-produced carbon adsorbents based on coal and peat on their mechanical properties and low ash content at a much greater development of the volume of the adsorbent micropores. We used the facility for studies of adsorption deformation of a solid adsorbent, manufactured in the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of RAS. For the measurements we used a flow dilatometer, allowing measuring the adsorption deformation of the adsorbent while passing through it portions of the test substance or mixture in the carrier gas flow. It is shown that exit time of curves of sorbostriction to the maximum is individually for each of the studied substances, which enables you to use the effect of sorbostriction to detect the presence of certain substances in the mixture. The results of the wave sorbostriction of microporous carbon adsorbent FAS at adsorption of water and acetone vapors from the flow of carrier gas - nitrogen allow to conclude on the high selectivity of adsorption and the possibility of using the adsorbent as a sensor to control the content of these substances in a flow of nitrogen.
