Adsorption of H2 and N2 on ionic liquid-enhanced activated carbon
Entity:
The use of porous materials such as activated carbon is well known and used to capture and store gases through the adsorption process. To increase the concentration of stored gases, the surface of the porous material can be impregnated with ionic liquids, which also have the ability to selectively capture and store gases. The CREVER group has a device to measure gas absorption on different adsorbent and/or absorbent materials, based on a volumetric method. It can be worked at different temperatures and pressures.
Challenges met
- Increasing the amount of hydrogen that can be stored per unit mass of activated carbon.
Scope of application
Centre service to collaborate with companies in the gas storage and distribution sector.
