Abstract:
SEM and N(2) adsorption tests show that the surface area is 3.0 m(2)g(-1) for K(2)CO(3) with structure of monoclinic crystal (PC#1) while that of K(2)CO(3) with structure of hexagonal crystal (PC#2) is 0.95 m(2)g(-1), and the pore volume of PC#1 and PC#2 are 8.0 x 10(-3) and 2.8 x 10(-3)cm(3)g(-1), respectively. Their pore size distribution curves show almost the same trends. Compared with PC#2, the particle morphology of PC#1 is better for the carbonation reaction. However, the carbonation reaction activity of PC#2 is better than that of PC#1. In order to find out the reason, the crystal structure characteristics of these sorbents are investigated with XRD and Inorganic Crystal Structure Database searching. It is shown that the difference in crystal structure causes the difference of carbonation reactivity between PC#1 and PC#2. The present work provides basic data for the technology of CO(2) capture from flue gas using dry potassium-based sorbents.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
