This study utilized Swietenia mahagoni bark–a wood processing industry waste, for the preparation of activated carbon, and then investigated for the removal of methyl orange (MO) dye by the Swietenia mahagoni bark activated carbon (SMBAC). The effect of pH (3–10), adsorbent dose (1–30 g/L), initial MO dye concentration (10–100 mg/L), and contact time (1–240 min) were evaluated...

Five adsorbents based on fly ash treated with NaOH for the adsorption of cadmium ion from aqueous solutions were investigated. The materials characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area methods. results demonstrated that specific was improved after treatment, by new reached equilibrium in les...

The shale nanopore size (diameter <100 nm) distribution heterogeneity (SNDH) is one of the important factors affecting gas production. However, quantitative analysis SNDH and applicability single multifractal models need to be further studied. Here, based on low-temperature liquid nitrogen carbon dioxide tests organic-rich in Qinshui Basin, dimension variation micropores (<2 mesopores (2–100 ar...

An explicit example where the cusps in the plots of the . f(a ) spectrum appear is given. An analysis is provided which gives the support for the claim that these cusps are not a computer artefact and they are a signal of the breakdown of the scaling law. In recent years progress has been made in describing the strange (fractal) sets occurring in many areas of physics, in particular in the theo...

TO THE EDITOR: In the first half of 2016 I was asked to review a manuscript for the Journal of Neurophysiology. Having reviewed only a handful of times for your journal, I started my review assignment by reading the Information for Authors and Information for Reviewers sections of your website. I noted that when preparing their manuscript, authors are encouraged to consult an editorial entitled...

To study the microscopic pore characteristics of marine–continental transitional shale, we studied Daning–Jixian block Shanxi Formation using low-pressure CO2 adsorption (LP-CO2A) and low-temperature N2 (LT-N2A) methods in conjunction with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), geochemistry, mineral composition analysis order to obtain structure characteristic parameters. The fra...

Localization of function within the brain has been a cornerstone for understanding an array of communication disorders. Scientific study of the link between focal brain regions and human behaviors now spans two centuries. However, our ability to observe the brain ‘‘in action’’ is a relatively recent event. Early studies of cognitive-related change in blood flow began to populate the literature ...

This paper presents an estimation of the adsorptive potential multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and modified poly (acrylonitrile-co-styrene) with activated for uptake reactive red 35 (RR35) dye from aqueous solution by a batch system. MWCNT adsorbent was synthesized encapsulation via in situ polymerization. The copolymer material (acrylonitrile-styrene) P (AN-co-ST) prepared ratio 2:1 V/V p...
