There are many who believe that combined heat and power (CHP) will be the norm in building design for the next generation of engineers. A discussion about CHP is not complete until one considers the ...

Adsorption is a phenomenon in which molecules or ions from a fluid phase (gas or liquid) are attracted and retained on the surface of a solid phase (adsorbent). Adsorption is different from absorption ...

A new microwave-assisted method creates nitrogen-doped ultramicroporous carbon from coal in minutes, dramatically cutting energy use while achieving high CO2 capture performance.

A research team has made a breakthrough in surface science by introducing a new active mechanism of adsorption. Such adsorption-based phenomena, in which molecules are attracted onto a solid surface, ...

Scientists have developed a fast and energy efficient way to produce advanced carbon materials capable of capturing carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas driving climate change. The new method ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...

Gas physisorption is an important tool for the characterization of porous solids and fine powders. The initial IUPAC report on gas physisorption, published in 1985, was dedicated to the determination ...
