Abstract

Hollow carbon nano-polyhedrons (HCNPHs) supported on Engelhard Titanosilicate-10 (ETS-10) were synthesized by wet impregnation technique using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent. Synthesized HCNPHs/ETS-10 nanosorbent was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, N₂-adsorption–desorption isotherm, BET surface area, and scanning electron microscopy to confirm the morphology and uniformity of carbon particles ranging from 50 to 70 nm in diameter. Sorption characteristics of this nanosorbent for krypton at various carbon loadings were determined using a bench-scale column apparatus. The dynamic sorption capacity of HCNPHs/ETS-10 nanosorbent calculated from the breakthrough curve, 0.75 mmol/kg, which was ~15 % higher than for that of activated carbon. The effect of temperature on the adsorption capacity was studied between 263–293 K. Operational capacity of the nanosorbent was found to be 0.45 mmol/kg at 263 K. The experimental results indicate that 10 wt% HCNPHs/ETS-10 nanosorbent showed promising results for krypton adsorption, indicating its potential as an economical and active sorbent for krypton removal from the off-gas streams resulting from operations for recycle of used nuclear fuel.
