A temperature-controlled device for volumetric measurements of Helium adsorption in porous media
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a set-up for studying adsorption of helium in silica aerogels, where the adsorbed amount is easily and precisely controlled by varying the temperature of a gas reservoir between 80 K and 180 K. We present validation experiments and a first application to aerogels. This device is well adapted to study hysteresis, relaxation, and metastable states in the adsorption and desorption of fluids in porous media.

Lattice Gas Automata Simulation of Adsorption Process of Polymer in Porous Media
Lattice gas automata (LGA) model is developed to simulate polymer adsorption process by adding some collision rules. The simulation result of the model is matched with batch experiment and compared with accepted isothermal adsorption equations. They show that the model is viable to perform simulation of the polymer adsorption process. The LGA model is then applied for simulating continuous poly...

An innovative Volumetric Current Meter (VCM) was designed in order to allow quick velocity measurements in open channels. At first, the coefficient of velocity (Cv) of the device was determined through calibration under different water velocities in the laboratory. The measurement performance was verified by measurements performed in similar flows in irrigation channels using an ordinary curren...
متن کاملLight scattering study of collective effects during evaporation and condensation in a disordered porous material
We combine high-resolution isotherms measurements and light scattering technics to study over a broad temperature range collective effects during the condensation and evaporation of helium from Vycor, a prototypic disordered porous material. For evaporation, our results provide the first direct evidence for a crossover from a percolation collective mechanism at low temperature to a local cavita...

The mesoporous carbon (CMK-3) functionalized with ethylenediamine (EDA) has been synthesized (CMK-3-EDA) and applied as a new mesoporous adsorbent for removal of Cu(II) and Pb(II) cations from aqueous solutions. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements (BET) show that surface area, pore size and pore volume of CMK-3 were significantly changed after amine modification. The BET surface area an...
