the study aimed to investigate the adsorption mechanism of di-n-butyl phthalate (dbp) onbrown soil and red soil in shenyang and hunan province, respectively, china. adsorption kinetics andisotherms experiments were conducted at 288, 298 and 308 k, respectively. results of kinetics showed thatadsorption of dbp exhibited a two-step process in both brown and red soil. different models were used to...

Automated fiber placement (AFP) process includes a variety of energy forms and multi-scale effects. This contribution proposes a novel multi-scale low-entropy method aiming at optimizing processing parameters in an AFP process, where multi-scale effect, energy consumption, energy utilization efficiency and mechanical properties of micro-system could be taken into account synthetically. Taking a...

The biosorbent was obtained from municipal solid waste (MSW) of the Mostaganem city. Before use the MSW was dried in air for three days and washed several times. The sorption of yellow procion reactive dye MX-3R onto biomass from aqueous solution was investigated as function of pH, contact time and temperature. The adsorption capacity of MX-3R was 45.84 mg/g at pH 2-3 and room temperature. MX-3...

The ability of cynodon dactylon based thermally activated carbon to remove fluoride from aqueous solution has been investigated. The batch adsorption studies were carried out at neutral pH as the functions of contact time, adsorbent dose, adsorbate concentration, temperature and effect of co-anions, which are commonly present in water. The rate of adsorption was rapid during initial 105 minutes...

Light membranes composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can serve as efficient nanoscale vessels for encapsulation of tetrafluoromethane at 300 K and operating external pressure of 1 bar. We use grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation for modeling of CF4 encapsulation at 300 K and pressures up to 2 bar. We find that the amount of adsorbed CF4 strongly depends on the pore size in nanot...

Here, we report a facile approach, by the photochemical reduction technique, for in situ synthesis of Au-reduced graphene oxide (Au-RGO) nanohybrids, which demonstrate excellent adsorption capacities and recyclability for a broad range of dyes. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data confirm the successfu...

Elements 112 through 118 are expected to be very volatile due to strong relativistic effects on their valence electrons. Their volatility is to be studied via the gas-phase thermochromatography technique by measuring the adsorption enthalpy, ∆Hads, on gold plated detectors located along the chromatography column (see results for elements 112 and 114 [1,2]). The obtained ∆Hads is then related to...

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...

A new activated carbon was produced from pulp and paper mill sludge as a low cost precursor via chemical activation by zinc chloride. The activated carbon was successfully used for the adsorption of phenol and two of its derivatives, i.e. 2-chlorophenol and 4-nitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The characterization of the prepared activated carbon demonstrated high textural properties for the s...
