Abstract:

Modified carbon molecular sieve is an excellent porous adsorbent,which is mostly used in fields such as air separation and nitrogen production.However,the development of adsorbents restricts the application range of pressure swing adsorption process,and excellent adsorbents require superior separation performance.A series of modified CMS were prepared by equal volume impregnation method with magnesium nitrate as modifier based on industrial CMS.The adsorption characteristics of methane and nitrogen on these adsorbents were measured by the volumetric method under PSA process conditions(303 K,0~0.7 MPa,200 s).The adsorption isotherm experimental data and kinetic curve data were fitted by using the Sips model and the LDF model,respectively,and the separation performance and adsorption characteristic parameters were obtained.The results showed that the modified carbon molecular sieves treatment reduced the specific surface area,micropore volume and average pore size of CMS,while making the pore size distribution more concentrated.The modified CMS with narrow pore size distribution exhibited better nitrogen selectivity owing to regulating the pore size distribution of CMS,and the excellent CMS-0.5 sample had a separation ratio of 12.20 at 303 K and 0.4 MPa.
