ABSTRACT

Molecular sieving carbon (MSC) for separating O2-N2 and CO2-CH4 has been prepared through chemical vapor deposition(CVD) of methane and benzene on activated carbon spheres (ACS) derived from polystyrene sulfonate beads. The validity ofthe material for assesment of molecular sieving behavior for O2-N2 and CO2-CH4 pair of gases was assessed by the kineticadsorption of the corresponding gases at 25oC. It was observed that methane cracking on ACS lead to deposition of carbonmostly in whole length of pores rather than in pore entrance, resulting in a reduction in adsorption capacity. MSC showinggood selectivity for CO2-CH4 and O2-N2 separation was obtained through benzene cracking on ACS with benzene entrantmentof 0.40×104 g/ml at cracking temperature of 725oC for a period of 90 minutes resulting in a selectivity of 3.31:1.00 for O2-N2and 8.00:1.00 for CO2-CH4 pair of gases respectively.
