Adsorption Behaviors of f-Elements on Quaternary Pyridinium Resin

Adsorption of superheavy elements on metal surfaces.

Fully relativistic four-component density functional theory with the general gradient approximation calculations have been performed to determine the adsorption energy and position of the superheavy element 112 on a Au surface. Extended cluster as well as embedded cluster calculations were used to simulate the surface which allow for the top, bridge, and hollow adsorption sites without losing t...

Microstructure and chemical changes of sepiolite and vermiculite clays on the effect of elements adsorption

One of the applicable methods to control the pollution of heavy metals is the use of an adsorbent mineral. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of Nickel and Zinc elements on microstructure properties of sepiolite and vermiculite clay minerals. To address the absorption experiment studies, four treatments (vermiculite, vermiculite + sand soil, sepiolite and sepiolite + sand soi...

Quaternary Ammonium Bacterial Cellulose for Adsorption of Proteins

Bacterial cellulose (BC) has attracted attention for preparing advanced materials due to its microfibrous structure. In this study, quaternary ammonium bacterial cellulose (QABC) as well as quaternary ammonium plant cellulose (QAPC) as adsorbents for proteins have been prepared. Introduction of the quaternary ammonium group was conducted under different conditions to determine the best conditio...

Adsorption of Quaternary Ammonium Compounds onto Activated Sludge

The performance of activated sludge in the removal of tetradecyl benzyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (C14BDMA) by adsorption from aqueous solution was investigated with different PH, contact time, ionic strength and temperature. Equilibrium was achieved within 2 h of contact time. The adsorption capacity increased largely with increasing solution pH and remained constant above pH 9. The ionic str...
