We studied the exchange between the adsorbed state and free solution when polyelectrolyte chains, adsorbed to a solid surface of opposite charge, were displaced by chains of higher charge density. Metastable states of surface composition were extremely long-lived ~.2–3 days!. The system was a family of poly~1,4 vinyl!pyridines ~PVP! with different fractions of charged segments ~14%, 48%, and 98...

Ion-induced desorption is a serious luminosity limitation for high current and low charge state heavy ion accelerators [1]. In order to find low desorbing materials for the loss regions of SIS18 a dedicated experimental program was started measuring desorption yields of different materials, which are in-situ well characterized using UHV Elastic Recoil Detection Analysis (ERDA). Two targets, wit...

In this work, adsorption kinetics were investigated in order to remove the acid blue 62 off the aqueous solutions using mesoporous silicate SBA-15 loaded with tannic acid (tannin-SBA-15). Nitrogen adsorption and desorption test (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis characterize synthesized composite. The impacts of some parameters such as P...

Realizing rapid and stable hydrogen sorption at low temperature is critical for magnesium-based storage materials. Herein, liquid channels are built in magnesium hydride by introducing lithium borohydride ion conductors as an efficient route improving its sorption. For instance, the 5 wt% LiBH4-doped MgH2 can release about 7.1 wt.% H2 within 40 min 300 °C but pure only desorbs less than 0.7 H2,...

Copper vanadate nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple coprecipitation method in an aqueous medium and the products were used as adsorbents for eliminating methylene blue (MB) from water. The structure and morphology of the produced nanoparticles were evaluated through X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis. The results...

This study reports the capacities and mechanisms of live biomass of an ascomycetes strain, Aspergillus niger HM11 biomass preparations in removing a textile dye Reactive blue 140 from aqueous solution was investigated with different parameters, such as adsorbent dosage, pH, initial dye concentrations and equilibrium time. pH study and desorption profile proved that adsorption process was suppor...

We study the effects of generalised surface disorder on the mon-omer-monomer model of heterogeneous catalysis, where disorder is implemented by allowing different adsorption rates for each lattice site. By mapping the system in the reaction-controlled limit onto a kinetic Ising model, we derive the rate equations for the one and two-spin correlation functions. There is good agreement between th...

The flexibility and structure transition behaviour of ZIF-8 in a series of samples with different particle size has been studied using a combination of high-resolution N2 gas adsorption isotherms and, for the first time, a broad in situ PXRD and Rietveld analysis. During the stepped adsorption process, large particles showed a narrow adsorption/desorption pressure range with a shorter equilibri...

The formation process of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of decanethiol (C10SH) on Au(111) single crystal electrode has been investigated for wide range of C10SH concentration (0.1 M ∼ 500 M) and temperature (253 K ∼ 298 K). The amount and quality of C10SH SAM were determined from area and position, respectively, of reductive desorption peak of the SAM modified Au(111) electrode measured in 0....

The measured dynamic surface tension of a water drop in air saturated by heptane vapor shows a sharp decrease from about 60 mN m−1 to 40 mN m−1, and less after a certain adsorption time. The observed adsorption kinetics is analyzed by a theoretical model based on multilayer adsorption of alkanes from the vapor phase at the water surface. The model assumes a dependence of the kinetic coefficient...
