Permporometry as well as nitrogen adsorption-desorption techniques have been applied to study the pore size distribution in y-alumina membranes with a pore radius ranging from about 2 nm to 10 nm. The permporometry technique measures the active pores only, while nitrogen adsorption-desorption measures the active as well as the passive pores. The pore size distribution in the porous ceramic memb...

The adsorption performance of Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst has been investigated in the SCR of NOx with propylene as the reducing agent. Freudlich equation was found to fit the adsorption isotherm satisfactorily if the system dispersion is considered. Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst showed reasonable NO adsorption capacity. The study on the influence of reaction temperature, gas space velocity and gas composition on th...

Pd/SSZ-13 catalysts were investigated for the simultaneous storage of NO and C3H6 at 100 °C. The effects state Pd species on co-adsorption release studied under simulated exhaust conditions. characterized by NH3-TPD, XRD, TEM Pd2+ PdO species. adsorption/release behavior is impacted nature reactants capacity °C was enhanced NO+C3H6 adsorption. DRIFTs results showed that provides adsorption site...

In this work, the continuum model for focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is generalized to account for multilayer adsorption processes. Two types of adsorption energies, describing both physisorption and spontaneous chemisorption, are included. Steady state solutions under no diffusion are investigated and compared under a wide range of conditions. The different growth regimes obs...

Oil spills are the significant sources of hydrocarbons entering in the receiving aquatic environment. An efficient method to remove hydrocarbons from water resources is adsorption. In this study, water soluble N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NO-CS) was synthesized by carboxymethylation of chitosan in a hydro-alcoholic medium at 50°C by chloroacetic acid. The polymer was characterized through degree...

Boron is a plant nutrient essential for adequate plant growth, yet the range between B deficiency and toxicity levels is rather narrow. Boron adsorption reactions with soil components, particularly sesquioxides, most often regulate the amount of B in the soil solution. The reaction mechanisms of B adsorption on oxides have not been fully characterized, however. Pressure-jump relaxation experime...

We present a Boltzmann equation-based model for transport and reaction in micrometer-scale features such as those found in integrated circuit fabrication. We focus on the adsorption and desorption of one species to understand the transient responses to step changes at the reactor scale. The transport model has no adjustable parameters; the assumptions are detailed. Adsorption and desorption rea...

Removal of perchlorate using either acid-washed zero-valent aluminum or aluminum hydroxide was studied in batch reactors under ambient temperature and pressure. Approximately 90-95% of perchlorate was removed within 24h in the presence of 35 g L(-1) aluminum at acidic pH (4.5+/-0.2). Although aluminum is a strong reductant, this study indicated no explicit evidence to support perchlorate reduct...

Casein micelles in skim milk were either untreated (untreated milk) or were cross-linked using transglutaminase (TGA-milk). Added lactoferrin (LF) bound to the casein micelles and followed Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The adsorption level was the same in both milks and decreased the micellar zeta potential, indicating charge neutralization and the formation of complex coacervate-type interact...

The hygroscopic behavior of atmospheric aerosols has a significant effect on the global climate change. In this study, a physisorption analyzer was used to measure the water adsorption capacity of Al(2)O(3), NaCl, NH(4)NO(3), and (NH(4))(2)SO(4) particles at 273.6 K. Qualitative and quantitative information about water adsorption on these particles was obtained with changing the temperature and...
