Adsorption Kinetics of Methane Reformer Off-Gases on Aluminum Based Metal-Organic Framework

Abstract

Solvothermal synthesis of aluminum based metal-organic frameworks (MIL-53(Al)s) were conducted by considering the effects of crystallization and activation temperatures, and the solvent at purification step. Adsorption kinetics of Steam Methane Reformer off gas components at 34, 70 and 100 °C temperatures was measured by using ZLC method. Henry constant decreases as diffusion coefficient of the gases increases with increasing temperature; It was determined that the CO gas has the highest activation energy. Adsorption kinetics of gases were controlled with electrostatic interaction. © 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
