Kinetics of oxygen sorption-desorption processes in manganites of La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.9Fe0.1O3-δ composition

Characterization of U(VI) Sorption-Desorption Processes and Model Upscaling

Effects of temperature on sorption-desorption processes of imidacloprid in soils of Croatian coastal regions.

Sorption-desorption behavior of imidacloprid in six soils collected from five coastal regions in Croatia at 20, 30 and 40°C was investigated using batch equilibrium technique. Isothermal data were applied to Freundlich, Langmuir and Temkin equations, and the thermodynamic parameters ΔH°, ΔG°, ΔS° were calculated. The sorption isotherm curves were non-linear and may be classified as L-type, sugg...

Direct observation of oxygen superstructures in manganites.

We report the observation of superstructures associated with the oxygen 2p states in two prototypical manganites using x-ray diffraction at the oxygen K edge. In the stripe order system Bi0.31Ca0.69MnO3, hole-doped O states are orbitally ordered, at the same propagation vector as the Mn orbital ordering, but no oxygen charge stripes are found at this periodicity. In La7/8Sr1/8MnO3, we observe a...

Kinetics and Mechanisms of Pb(II) Sorption and Desorption at the Aluminum Oxide-Water Interface

The fate of Pb in the environment is highly dependent on sorption and desorption reactions on solid surfaces. In this study Pb sorption and desorption kinetics on γ-Al2O3 at pH 6.50, I ) 0.1 M, and [Pb]initial ) 2 mM were investigated using both macroscopic and spectroscopic measurements. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy revealed a Pb-Al bond distance of 3.40 Å, consistent wi...

Oxygen transport in nanostructured lanthanum manganites.

Methods and models describing oxygen diffusion and desorption in oxides have been developed for slightly defective and well crystallised bulky materials. Does nanostructuring change the mechanism of oxygen mobility? In such a case, models should be properly checked and adapted to take into account new material properties. In order to do so, temperature programmed oxygen desorption and thermogra...
