Separation factors at desorption of deuterated and tritiated water from molecular sieves.

Preparation of Carbon Molecular Sieves from Pistachio Shell and Walnut Shell for Kinetic Separation of Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen, and Methane

In this study, two Carbon Molecular Sieves using Pistachio shell (CMS P) and Walnut shell (CMS W) were prepared by a chemical vapor deposition method and used for pressure swing adsorption and separation of CO/H2 and CO/CH4. Adsorption isotherms of gases obtained for both CMS’s. The Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model was used for comparing pore volum...

Infrared vibration spectra of hydrogenated, deuterated, and tritiated amorphous silicon

This article presents infrared absorption data of amorphous silicon alloys in which the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium have been substituted for hydrogen. Silicon–deuterium and silicon– tritium vibration frequencies are related to silicon–hydrogen vibration frequencies by simple mass relationships. The silicon–deuterium wagging vibration is broadened and blueshifted due to strong coupl...

Effect of water on the ionothermal synthesis of molecular sieves.

AlPO4-11 and AlPO4-5 molecular sieves are ionothermally prepared without addition of water by using anhydrous starting materials, such as NH4H2PO4, pseudoboehmite (AlOOH), and NH4F. The synthesis appears to be an autocatalytic process. Water has a remarkable effect on the synthesis process. Addition of reagent quantities of water (H2O/Al = 1, molar ratio) can enhance the crystallization kinetic...

Magnetic Separation of Giardia Cysts from Water

Background: Giardia is one of the infectious agents that can be transmitted by surface water and cause a disease. We designed and fabricated a magnetic system to separate the giardia cysts from water. Materials and Methods: In this study, giardia cysts were concentrated by sucrose floatation method. The cysts were mixed with physiological saline and their concentration was adjusted to 100,000 c...
