Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Harkins-Jura Isotherms Studies of H2 Adsorption on Porous Adsorbents

Abstract

The hydrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms of multiwalled carbon nanotube sample (MWCNT), an iron loaded multiwalled carbon nanotube (Fe_MWCNT), two zeolites (Na_Y_Zeo and NH4_Y_Zeo) and MCM-41 were measured at 77 K and atmospheric pressure by using the volumetric adsorption apparatus. The adsorption data were evaluated by several isotherm equations such as Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Harkins-Jura isotherm models but were best described by the Freundlich isotherm model as it gave the highest correlation. The amount of adsorbed hydrogen by weight depended on the micropore volume of the sample, except for MWCNT and Fe_MWCNT. The porous samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N 2 adsorption isotherms. The maximum hydrogen storage of 1.96 wt % at 77 K was achieved by Fe_MWCNT. Microporous Na_Y_Zeo and NH 4 _Y_Zeo showed higher hydrogen adsorption capacities than the mesoporous MCM-41. The hydrogen adsorption properties of these porous adsorbents may be further enhanced by different metal doping, thus paving the way for further study.

Removal of Cd2+ from aqueous solution by zeolite synthesized from Egyptian kaolin

“…These results reveal that the Cd 2+ ions adsorption on SEZ is against the rule of multilayer adsorption (Erdogan, 2019). The sorption capacity followed the trend of CEC values; however, the synthetic zeolite-Y has a high value of CEC (401.09 meq/100g clay) (Singh et al, 2000).…”

“…The adsorption isotherms are very important for describing the adsorption mechanism of metal ions onto the adsorbent and plays an important role in the identification and evaluation of the maximum capacity onto adsorbents, three adsorption isotherms models namely Langmuir, Freundlich and Harkins-Jura isotherms models (Yuna, 2016;Erdogan, 2019). For Langmuir adsorption isotherm model is an example of a favorable isotherm and is applicable under an assumption: a uniform surface of the solid, the absence of interaction between the different adsorbed molecules, adsorption in a monolayer and adsorption occurs on a structurally homogeneous adsorbent (Mishra & Patel, 2009).…”

Removal of methylene blue from wastewater using hydrogel nanocomposites: A review

“…K F and n are the sorption capacity and sorption intensity. 67 n determines the non-linear relation between adsorption and the concentration of the solution. 67 Temkin isotherm.…”

“…67 n determines the non-linear relation between adsorption and the concentration of the solution. 67 Temkin isotherm. The Temkin isotherm theory ignores the concentration values and assumes that the decrease in heat of adsorption concerning the temperature is linear instead of decreasing logarithmically as suggested in the Freundlich equation.…”

Selection of the Activated Carbon Type for the Treatment of Landfill Leachate by Fenton-Adsorption Process

“…The Freundlich; Langmuir; Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) and Temkin models, among others, are used to describe the experimental isotherms. The information provided by the models is about the surface properties, the adsorption mechanism and the interaction between the adsorbent and the adsorbate [ 21 , 23 ].…”
