Better Adsorbing Capacity Of Cpm-5 In The Light Of Its Equilibrium Kinetics

The adsorption equilibrium kinetics is one of the important factor in evaluating the stability of the adsorbent for the gas adsorption application, because it controls the time of a fixed bed adsorption system and has an impact on the amount of adsorbent required. The adsorption equilibrium kinetics of CO2 on CPM-5 was measured at two different temperatures of 298 K and 318 K using Freundlich adsorption isotherm. CPM-5, a MOF is highly porous having high specific surface area, high thermal and chemical stabilities &low densities was found to be better adsorbent for the adsorption of CO2 gas. The amount of CO2 adsorbed was calculated by weighing CPM-5 before and after experiment.
