The statistical rate theory (SRT) fundamental kinetic equation for the Langmuir model of adsorption reveals some features which are difficult to understand. These are the infinitely high adsorption rate for zero coverage limit, infinitely high desorption rate at full saturation of the surface and dependence of the desorption rate on the adsorbate pressure. These features do not allow for a corr...

Herein, magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) synthesized from altered basalt were used to develop a composite with H2O2–activated bentonite (BE) and fibrous sawdust (SD). The as-prepared BE/SD–MNPs characterized by FTIR, FESEM, TEM, TGA, DSC, Zeta potential techniques utilized as an effective multifunctional for removing methylene blue (MB). adsorption isotherms of MB at 25–55 °C analyzed via kinetic...

in this study, the removal of as (v) from water resources by using aluminum-coated pumice as a new adsorbent was assessed. the features of the adsorbent coating layer were observed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the effects of various parameters such as adsorbent doses, ph, contact time, arsenate initial concentration and interfering ions in arsenic adsorpt...

Being sustainable and producing little waste products, the renewable energy knows a rapid deployment. Unfortunately, the intermittent characteristic of these energies makes them difficult to control. The influence of this aleatory character can be reduced with the coupling of two or more sources of renewable energy and secondly with a sound management of storage systems. This new configuration ...

the modeling of kinetic and isotherm curves acquired in adsorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) as a model compound (phenanthrene) on activated carbons in the organic solvent. all the runs were carried out in a batch system at atmospheric pressure, process temperature of 24±2°c, and using the 100 ml phenanthrene in cyclohexan. this experimental work was mainly focused on the study...

As the power of scientific computing continues to grow, detailed models for complex chemical-transport phenomena play a more significant role in the design process of advanced energy conversion devices (Hwang et al. 2008). As a result, there have been substantial research efforts devoted to the construction and further development of detailed chemical models for conventional and alternative fue...

the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...

in this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene (cnb) from aqueous solutions onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) was surveyed. the effect of some key parameters such as ph (2-10), carbon nanotubes dosage (0.02-0.1 mg/250ml), cnb concentration (2- 16 mg/l), and temperature (20,30,40,50°c) were investigated. the results showed that, the variation of initial ph and cnb concentration ex...

The nonlinear phenomena that occur in the electric double layer (EDL) that forms at charged surfaces strongly influence electrokinetic effects, including electro-osmosis and electrophoresis. In particular, saturation effects due to either dielectric decrement or ion crowding effects are of paramount importance. Dielectric decrement significantly influences the ionic concentration in the EDL at ...
