Moisture Diffusion in Cementitious Materials Adsorption Isotherms

چکیده
This article describes an improvement on a previous model proposed by Ba~ant and Najjar, in which moisture diffusivity and moisture capacity are treated as separate parameters. These parameters are evaluated from independent test results, and are shown to depend on the water:cement ratio, curing time, temperature, and cement type. The moisture capacity is obtained as the slope of the adsorption isotherm. A mathematical model is developed and is shown to predict experimental adsorption isotherms of Portland cement paste very well. In the present form, the model is not applicable to high temperatures.

Adsorption and Desorption Isotherms Of Desiccants for Dehumidification Applications: Silica Aerogels and Silica Aerogel Coatings on Metal Foams
Silica aerogels are frequently employed as solid desiccants in enthalpy wheels for dehumidifying the supply stream in air-conditioning systems. These desiccant materials possess good moisture adsorption and desorption characteristics due to their porous structure. Analysis of adsorption and desorption isotherms is critical for performance characterization and is often performed to evaluate the ...
متن کاملDiffusion-Controlled Hysteresis
A new model of time-dependent sorption-desorption hysteresis is presented. This type of hysteresis is not related to transitions between metastable adsorption states, which are a common cause of capillary condensation hysteresis in mesoporous materials. We show that time-dependent hysteresis is a consequence of slow kinetics and failure to reach equilibrium at given experimental conditions. The...
متن کاملApplication of Nelson's Sorption Isotherm to Wood Composites and Overlays'
Equilibrium moisture content (EMC) as a function of relative humidity (RH) was measured in oriented strandboard. particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, hardboard, high pressure laminates, and solid wood. The measurements were made in both adsorption and desorption at 2 9 2 . The EMCRH data were fit to Nelson's sorption isotherm. It was found that Nelson's model can be used to describe the ex...
متن کاملInvestigation of Hexagonal Mesoporous Silica-Supported Composites for Trace Moisture Adsorption
Moisture control is an important part of effective maintenance program for gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). Herein, hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) materials were synthesized by adopting dodecylamine as a structure directing agent, which was then employed as a host for supporting polyethylenimine (PEI) without further calcinations or extraction treatment. The physicochemical properties of the ...
متن کاملEquilibrium, Kinetics and Thermodynamic Studies for Adsorption of Hg (II) on Palm Shell Powder
Palm shell obtained from coastal part of southern India was studied for the removal for the adsorption of Hg (II) ions. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out as a function of pH, concentration of Hg (II) ions, time, temperature and adsorbent dose. Maximum removal was seen in the range pH 4.0pH 7.0. The palm shell powder used as adsorbent was characterized for its surface area, SEM, PXRD...
