Abstract

This chapter discusses the fundamental principles for designing nanoporous adsorbents and recent progress in new sorbent materials. For sorbent design, detail discussion is given on both fundamental interaction forces and the effects of pore size and geometry on adsorption. A summary discussion is made on recent progress on the following types of materials as sorbents: activated carbon, activated alumina, silica gel, MCM-41, zeolites, π-complexation sorbents, carbon nanotubes, heteropoly compounds, and pillared clays.
