Influence of acid and heavy metal cation exchange treatments on methane adsorption properties of mordenite
Influence of acid and heavy metal cation exchange treatments on methane adsorption properties of mordenite
In this study, the adsorption of methane (CH4) capacities onto natural mordenite obtained from ˙Izmir, Turkey, and its cationic forms (CuM, AgM, FeM, and HM samples) were investigated at the temperatures of 0 and 25 ◦ C up to 100 kPa. Natural and modified samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetry (TG-DTG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersi
