| Zusammenfassung: | Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to correlate the band shift of the nu2 vibrational band of carbon dioxide with the density of the fluid. Upon adsorption of CO2 on mesoporous silica and a nonporous SiO2 film, additional bands were detected due to interactions of CO2 with SiO2. Near the saturation pressure for the porous samples, the absorbance of the nu2 band increased strongly, which was concluded to be caused by liquidlike CO2 inside the pores. Integration of single-beam-sample-reference spectra between bulk CO2 and CO2 adsorbing on the mesoporous silica coated on one part of the internal reflection element revealed excess adsorption type isotherms with sharp maxima at 21 degrees C. A flatter curve shape could be observed at 25 degrees C, which allowed estimating the pore critical temperature. Moreover, the density of the fluid inside and outside the pores could be compared. Over the investigated ranges of pressure, temperature, and pore size, the results evidenced that the CO2 density was always higher in the silica pores than in the bulk, even under supercritical conditions. This has important consequences on the pressure dependence of dissolution power and diffusivity of fluids in mesoporous solids. An overview is given on the influences of fluid phase behavior in the bulk and in the pores at various conditions on solubility and diffusivity |
