Amine functionalized activated carbon fibers as effective structured adsorbents for formaldehyde removal

Lioubov Kiwi, Guillaume Bastien Baur, Jonathan Spring

Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) with surface modified by a diethylene triamine (DETA) are synthesized for the abatement of formaldehyde in gas phase at low concentration. Adsorbents with several DETA loadings were tested and characterized. The amount of DET ...

Activated carbon fibers for efficient VOC removal from diluted streams: the role of surface functionalities

Lioubov Kiwi, Guillaume Bastien Baur, Oliver Anthony Beswick, Jonathan Spring

The effect of surface functionalities, specific surface area and pore size of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on the adsorption of toluene and acetaldehyde, two volatile organic compounds (VOC), at low concentrations (similar to 80 ppmv) and short contact t ...

Activated carbon fibers modified by metal oxide as effective structured adsorbents for acetaldehyde

Lioubov Kiwi, Guillaume Bastien Baur

Novel efficient adsorbents for acetaldehyde removal from diluted gas streams (similar to 1300 ppmv) have been developed. The adsorbents combine the properties of activated carbon fibers (ACF) and nanoparticles (NPs) of basic metal oxides (La2O3, CaO, MgO, ...

Activated carbon fibers for efficient VOC removal from diluted streams: the role of surface morphology

Lioubov Kiwi, Albert Renken, Guillaume Bastien Baur

The effect of the micropore structure of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on the adsorption of toluene at low concentration (10-80 ppmv) was studied over two types of ACFs. Both adsorbents presented similar surface chemistry but different porous structure: o ...

Development of Adsorbents for Selective Volatile Organic Compounds Removal from Diluted Gas Streams

Guillaume Bastien Baur

Contamination of the environment by anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOC) became of major concern during the last decades. Present in gas streams of many industrial exhausts, they are harmful and detrimental for both human health and environment e ...

Hydrothermally-treated Na-X as efficient adsorbents for butadiene removal

Lioubov Kiwi, Jeremy Luterbacher, Guillaume Bastien Baur, Jonathan Spring, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel

An efficient adsorbent for butadiene was synthesized via soft hydrothermal treatment (2 h in boiling water followed by 1 h calcination at 573 K) of industrial Na-X. The adsorption capacity of the zeolite was studied in the low concentration range (20–300 p ...

Propene oligomerization over Ni-exchanged Na-X zeolites

Guillaume Bastien Baur

The oligomerization of propene was investigated over a series of nickel ion-exchanged Na-X zeolites with varying Ni loadings. Catalyst characterization by temperature-programmed reduction, elemental analysis, and XANES indicates that all of the exchanged N ...
