In this paper, multiscale composites formed by grafting N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNs) on the surface of polyamide (PAN)-based activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were investigated and their adsorption performance for CO₂ was determined. The spaghetti-like and randomly oriented CNs were homogeneously grown onto ACFs. The pre-immersion of cobalt(II) ions for ACFs made the CNs grow above with a large ...

The uses of MCM-41 as adsorbent have been studied as an alternative substitution of activated carbon for theremoval dyes. This adsorbent was prepared at laboratory by authors. Adsorption of safranine on MCM-41was studied to examine adsorption thermodynamics. In this study was investigated the effect of proccesparameters like pH, initial dye concentration, temperature and adsorbent mass. MCM-41,...

In polymer chromatography, chain molecules are separated by molecular weight, size, and chemical composition due to adsorption and exclusion in nanoporous substrates. Three regimes of separation are distinguished depending on the adsorption strength and the pore size. In the regime of size exclusion chromatography, the adsorption energy is weak and the separation is entropy-driven with larger m...

The heat of adsorption and sticking probability of methanol were measured on clean Pt(111) at 100, 150, and 210 K and on oxygen-precovered Pt(111) at 150 K by single-crystal adsorption calorimetry (SCAC). On clean Pt(111) at 100 K, the heat of methanol adsorption was found to be 60.5 ± 0.8 kJ/mol in the limit of low coverage, resulting in a standard enthalpy of formation (ΔH(f)°) of CH(3)OH(ad)...

Batch experiments were conducted to study the adsorption of hazardous azocoumarinonto low cost activated carbon made from rice straw (ACRS) in aqueous solution with respect to concentration of adsorbate, adsorbent dosage, contact time, solution pH and temperature. Surface modification of rice straw using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was obtained. Surface area and pore volumes of ACRS were...

Different authors investigated the effects of geometric and energetic heterogeneities on adsorption and on carbon characterization methods. In most theoretical studies carbon structure is modeled as parallel infinite graphite walls that form ideal slit-shaped pores of the fixed widths. In the literature there is the lack of systematic studies showing the influence of pore structural and Lennard...

The object of present study was to examine the adsorption potential of nanozeolite clinoptilolite (CP) for the removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous phase in a batch equilibrium system. SEM, EDX, XRF, XRD and FT-IR techniques of characterization of zeolite were applied. The effects of initial pH solution, adsorbent dose, temperature, contact time and initial MG concentration on adsorptio...

In this study, removal of Acid blue 62 from aqueous solution by mesoporous silicate MCM-41 modified by Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) composite was studied. Properties of synthesized composite were analyzed and confirmed by SEM, EDX and FTIR. Results show that Langmuir adsorption isotherm has the best compatibility with the results of experiments. Kinetic analysis using pseudo-first-order m...
