Evaluation of cadmium hexacianoferrate(III) as a microporous material

The properties of cadmium hexacyanoferrate(III), Cd-3[Fe(CN)(6)](2), as a microporous material were evaluated from adsorption data Of CO2, N-2 and water vapor. The adsorption isotherms were interpreted according to the Dubinin-Radushkevich and Dubinin-Astakhov models. The adsorbate-adsorbent interactions during the activation and the adsorption processes were monitored by XRD, IR and Mossbauer techniques where the adsorption of propanol, ethanol and diethyl ether was also considered. As a measure of the adsorbate-adsorbent interactions, calculations of the adsorption isosteric heats were also carried out. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Inc.
