Abstract
The static differential pressure method is used to study the cryogenic adsorption of hydrogen isotopes on the carbonaceous adsorbents, including activated carbon(AC), carbon molecular sieve(601) and carbon nanofibers(CNF). Experimental results indicate that the adsorption capacity of hydrogen isotopes on 601 is higher than that on AC or CNF at liquid nitrogen temperature and CNF has the smallest adsorption capacity. Isotopic effects of H2 and D2 adsorption on all these adsorbents are also observed. It is demonstrated that hydrogen gas adsorption capacity is numerically related to the surface active sites of carbonaceous adsorbents and concentrated HNO3 can be used to carry out surface modification to increase the number of active sites.
