Hybridization of a macroporous sponge and spherical microporous adsorbents for high throughput separation of ionic solutes.

Chromatographic Characterization and Process Performance of Column-Packed Anion Exchange Fibrous Adsorbents for High Throughput and High Capacity Bioseparations

Fibrous materials are prominent among novel chromatographic supports for the separation and purification of biomolecules. In this work, strong anion exchange, quaternary ammonium (Q) functional fibrous adsorbents were evaluated with regards to their physical and functional characteristics. A column packed with Q fibrous adsorbent illustrated the good column packing efficiency of theoretical pla...

Preparation and Application of Carboxylated Graphene Oxide Sponge in Dye Removal

Spongy graphene is a newly developed adsorbent of high performance for water treatment. Proper functionalization is an efficient approach to improve the adsorption capacity of graphene adsorbents. In this study, we prepared graphene oxide (GO), functionalized it with carboxyl groups to produce carboxylated GO (GO-COOH) dispersion, and lyophilized the GO-COOH dispersion to obtain the GO-COOH spo...

A New and Efficient Method for the Adsorption and Separation of Arsenic Metal Ion from Mining Waste Waters of Zarshouran Gold Mine by Magnetic Solid-Phase Extraction with Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles

Widespread arsenic contamination of mining wastewater of Zarshouran (West Azerbaijan province) has led to a massive epidemic of arsenic poisoning in the whole of surrounding areas. It is estimated that approximately all agriculture fields are being irrigated with the water that its arsenic concentrations elevated above the World Health Organization’s standard of 10 parts per billion. A novel ad...

Central composite experimental design applied to fabrication of LLDPE microporous membrane via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) method

Physical Adsorption of Gases: the Case for Absolute Adsorption as the Basis for Thermodynamic Analysis

We discuss the thermodynamics of physical adsorption of gases in porous solids. The measurement of the amount of gas adsorbed in a solid requires specialized volumetric and gravimetric techniques based upon the concept of the surface excess. Excess adsorption isotherms provide thermodynamic information about the gas-solid system but are difficult to interpret at high pressure because of peculia...
