Performance of ferrite nanoparticles in inductive heating swing adsorption (IHSA): how tailoring material properties can circumvent the design limitations of a system.

Abstract

Inductive heating swing adsorption (IHSA) using hybrid adsorbents incorporating a porous material and ferrite nanoparticles holds promise to be a performant, electrified alternative for conventional gas separation. Successful implementation of hybrid adsorbents in IHSA depends on achieving a maximal specific absorption rate (SAR) in the conditions and at the frequency of the induction setup. This paper outlines and demonstrates successful strategies for optimization of the particle composition, tailoring the coercivity and susceptibility of the ferrite particles to optimal performance in a given alternating magnetic field.
