background: the rapid increase in agricultural and industrial development has made heavy metal pollution a serious environmental problem and public health threat; therefore, removal of heavy metals from water is important. the current study prepared dnph@sds@fe3o4 nanoparticles as a novel and effective adsorbent for removal of hg(ii) ions from an aqueous solution. methods: a selective adsorbent...

the kinetics of zn sorption by ten calcareous soils of iran were measured and fitted to several equations (zero-, first-, second-, third-order, parabolic diffusion, simple elovich, and exponential equations). two initial concentrations of zinc i.e. 20 and 80 mg zn l-1 were used and observations were carried out for 100 hours. the time required to reach the near equilibrium state was about 24 ho...

We present a study of equilibrium chain-exchange kinetics of a well-defined model system for starlike polymeric micelles. The results show that the kinetics follows a logarithmic time dependence. The same feature has been confirmed for two other micellar systems. This is in sharp contrast to theoretical predictions and hints towards strongly coupled chain dynamics within the micellar cores indu...

The adsorption study was conducted on three Japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of Arsenic (As). Double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on As adsorption. For this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. The As adsorption showed two phase kinetics. An initial and rapid adsorpt...

A synthesis method for the production of amorphous metallic foam is introduced. This method utilizes the thermodynamic stability and thermoplastic formability of the supercooled liquid state to produce low-density amorphous metallic foams in dimensions that are not limited to the critical casting thickness. The method consists of three stages: the prefoaming stage, in which a large number of sm...

Some dynamic properties of a fourteen-vertex model defined on the bcc(001) surface are investigated with Glauber kinetics. Exact results are given for small-size versions of the model. Using Monte-Carlo simulations on large systems and the Becker-Doering law behaviour of the growth rate in the 2D-nucleation theory, a non-equilibrium phase diagram is

Reactive absorption — i.e., the absorption of gases in liquid solutions accompanied by chemical reactions — is an important industrial operation for the production of basic chemicals (e.g., sulfuric or nitric acid) and for the removal of harmful substances (e.g., H2S) from gas streams. In recent decades, this process has become especially important for the purification of gases to high purities...
