Objective
The objectives of the proposed project are:
to develop new methods for the preparation of activated carbons based on
porous lignosulphonate resins and fruit and olive stones;
using methods of computer modelling to study the formation of porosity in
the prrsors and activated carbons;
computer modelling of methane adsorption on microporous carbons in order to
choose the optimal parameters of carbon porous structure and rational
technological regimes for gas separation and storage;
to study methane separation and concentration from gaseous mixtures of
variable composition on microporous carbons.9To achieve these aims the following research activities will be performed:
preparation of microporous prrsors of activated carbons;
development and tailoring of microporosity of activated carbons by pyrolysis
and activation of prrsors and sequent carbon depositing;
testing of the microporous materials prepared for methane separation,
concentration and storage;
comprehensive studies of the porous structure of the prrsor materials and
activated carbons;
computer modelling of methane, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide
adsorption on carbonaceous materials.9An iterative approach will be used to fulfil the tasks of this project. The results of adsorption, structural and computer modelling studies obtained at every step of the project will be used as guidelines for the improvement of the adsorbent characteristics and optimisation of adsorption processes at the following steps. 9The main expected results of the project are:
synthesis of activated carbons capable of separation, concentration and
storage of methane;
understanding of fundamental relationships between the porosity of activated
carbons and mollar dimensions of adsorbate;
understanding of fundamental relationship between the porosity of activated
carbons and their prrsors;
development of computer simulation methods for dynamic adsorption processes.
