Preparation and adsorption / desorption performance of hydrogel-based composite sorbent driven by low-temperature

doi:10.11949/0438-1157.20201759

Abstract

Abstract:

A novel hydrogel-based composite sorbent was prepared by in-situ polymerization with acrylamide monomer, carbon nanotubes and anhydrous lithium chloride. The sorbent was characterized by scanning electron microscope and synchronous thermal analyzer. The dynamic adsorption / desorption performance and equilibrium adsorption performance of the composite adsorbent were tested in a constant temperature and humidity chamber. The results showed that the equilibrium adsorption capacity of the hydrogel-based sorbent was as high as 1.75 g/g at 25℃ and 75% relative humidity, more than 2.5 times of silica-based sorbent; moreover, hydrogel-based sorbent could desorb 70% of the adsorbed water under 45℃; the dynamic adsorption rate of hydrogel-based sorbent was calculated by fitting linear driving force model under the same conditions. Compared with other composite adsorbents at home and abroad, the adsorption rate coefficient and adsorption capacity of the adsorbent were greatly improved.

摘要：

以丙烯酰胺单体、碳纳米管和无水氯化锂为原材料，通过原位聚合法制备了一种新型复合吸附剂，该吸附剂呈水凝胶形式。采用扫描电子显微镜和同步热分析仪对吸附剂进行表征，并用恒温恒湿箱测试了复合吸附剂的动态吸附/解附性能以及平衡吸附性能。研究表明，凝胶复合吸附剂在25℃和75%RH下，平衡吸附量高达1.75 g/g，是硅胶基复合吸附剂的2.5倍以上；并在45℃环境中解吸出70%的吸附水量；采用线性驱动力模型拟合计算了相同工况的动态吸附速率，与国内外其他复合吸附剂相比，本文吸附剂的吸附速率系数和吸附量均有很大提升。
