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 correlate the experimental data collected in this work a large variety of adsorption isotherms were used. The accuracy of each isotherm in correlate the experimental data was discussed.
