dc.description.abstract

Adsorbents are widely used in gas separation and storage processes. Performance improvements are largely achieved through the continual development of new materials with unique sorption properties. Adsorption characterization techniques, therefore, play a central role in material research and development. Here, in-situ Raman spectroscopy is presented as a multi-purpose laboratory tool for analyzing adsorption performance. In contrast to conventional laboratory techniques requiring macroscopic samples, adsorption analysis via Raman spectroscopy can be performed on samples of less than 1 mg. Furthermore, simultaneous Raman multi-phase measurements of the adsorbent structure as well as the free and bound adsorbate, are shown to provide molecular insights into the operation of functional adsorbents at conditions representative of industrial applications, which are often not attainable in conventional crystallography. Firstly, a Raman-based method is demonstrated for directly quantifying absolute adsorption capacity within individual particles. The technique is validated for Raman measurements of carbon dioxide on silica gel and compared to gravimetric and volumetric analyses. Secondly, Raman spectroscopy is applied to study a novel functional material, ZIF-7, and directly probe its pressure-regulated gate-opening mechanism, which was only observed through indirect means. These Raman measurements confirm that the sharp increase in capacity corresponds to a structural transition in the material and reveal that multiple adsorption sites contribute to the overall capacity. The Raman methods presented here can be applied to a wide range of adsorbent-adsorbate systems and present a basis for further studies into the kinetics of sorption processes.
