Abstract
A theoretical and experimental study was conducted to accurately determine the amount of adsorption and desorption of methane by various Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) under different physical conditions. To carry out the experiments, the volumetric method was used up to 500 psia at constant temperature of 25 °C. In these experiments, adsorption as well as desorption capacities of four different GAC in the adsorption of methane, the major constituent of natural gas, at various equilibrium pressures and a constant temperature were studied. Also, various adsorption isotherm models were used to model the experimental data collected from the experiments. The accuracy of the results obtained...
Investigation on Parameters of Carbon Nanotubes Growth and Effect of Interaction between H2 Gas and their Surfaces and Determining Capacity of Hydrogen Storage
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Moshfegh, Alireza (Supervisor) ; Nozad, Ahmad (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this study, growth of MWCNTs in form of thin film and powder for hydrogen storage was investigated. Different analytical techniques including SEM, TEM, STA, XRD, XPS, BET, BJH and Raman spectroscopy were applied to characterize the samples. The results showed that substrate, catalyst thickness and type of catalyst are influenced in yield of the growth, structure and quality of MWCNTs. The study has also indicated that MWCNTs grown on Fe-Pd bimetallic catalyst with 25-75 proportion had the highest growth yield. Moreover, decreasing of the growth temperature from 970 to 920 oC produced single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with high quality (IG/ID = 15.8) and low growth yield....

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Taghikhani, Vahid (Supervisor) ; Ghotbi, Siroos (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this project, theoretical and experimental study of methane adsorption on Multiwall Carbon Nano-Tubes (MWCNT) has been performed. This study has been conducted in the way to achieve a suitable method for methane storage and transportation. To carry out the experiments, the volumetric method was used up to 500 psia at various temperatures of 298.15 K, 303.15 K, 308.15 K. The effect of moisture was also studied at 298.15 K. Also, various adsorption isotherms were used to model the experimental data collected in this work. The results showed that the amount of methane adsorbed on the MWCNT can decrease with increasing the moisture and temperature of the adsorption cell. In order to...
