The electronic sensitivity and adsorption behavior toward cyanogen halides (X-CN; X = F, Cl, and Br) of a B12N12 nanocluster were investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. The X-head of these molecules was predicted to interact weakly with the BN cluster because of the positive σ-hole on the electronic potential surface of halogens. The X-CN molecules interact somewhat st...

The adsorption of citrate, at 10 4_10 -3 M initial concentration, by pseudoboehmite suspended in 0.02 M NaC104 was investigated at varying pH. Citrate shows a strong affinity for the pseudoboehmite surface, as seen in the adsorption isotherm at pH 6. Adsorption envelopes of adsorbed citrate vs. pH for a given initial citrate concentration are characteristic for the adsorption ofa polyprotic aci...

jute modified has been used for adsorption of cr (vi), cd (ii) and pb (ii) ions over a range ofinitial metal ion concentration. adsorption process is done in batch mode. adsorption isotherms ofthe heavy metals on adsorbents prepared were determined and correlated with common isothermequations. it was found that the freundlich isotherm is better than langmuir for explaining thebehavior of adsorp...

the objective of this work focuses on the use of a new natural lignocellulosic material based on palm stems for adsorbing of hexavalent chromium (cr(vi)) in water. the palm stems powder (psp) was characterized using different techniques. the influencing factors on the adsorption of cr(vi) ions was investigated such as ph. the results show that the increase of the temperature and the initial ads...

fractional flow analysis confirms the advantages of surfactant alternative gas injection (sag) in enhanced oil recovery, but an adsorption phenomenon that has been affected by several factors, weakens the effectiveness of sag injection. in this study, the effects of sacrificial agent, gas phase, and surfactant concentration on adsorption density on silica mineral were investigated by static and...

fine particles silicoaluminophosphate-34 were synthesized by hydrothermal sol-gel method. the effect of crystallization time, as one of the important synthesis factors on particle size and crystallinity, kinetic and equilibrium adsorption, and selectivity of co2 / ch4 has been studied in this work. the adsorption isotherms are obtained at moderate gauge pressures (100-3000 kpa) and temperatures...
