Field ionization of trimethylamine and of N,N-dimethylaniline doped into xenon is presented as a function of xenon number density up to the density of the triple point liquid, both at noncritical temperatures and along the critical isotherm. These data exhibit a decrease in the xenon induced shift of the dopant ionization energy near the xenon critical point. The energy of the quasi-free electr...

We use the Percus-Yevick approximation to study indirect correlation functions in the sticky hard-sphere model introduced by Baxter. The model has a critical point below which there is a liquid gas transition. We illustrate the changes in the structure of the correlation function as the density increases on the critical isotherm and on supercritical and subcritical isotherms. We also examine th...

The adsorption behavior of chlorendic acid (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7-hexachlorobicyclo-(2, 2, 1) -hept-5-ene-2, 3dicarboxylic acid) onto hydrophilic fumed TiO2 (P-25, Degussa) in aqueous suspension was investigated. Results indicate that chlorendic acid adsorbed strongly in short times (2-5 mins) onto TiO2. Adsorption data is consistent with LangmuirHinshelwood isotherm model for monolayer adsorption a...

A total of 206 wheat and 200 barley farmers were interviewed in northeastern Syria to understand farmer perceptions and practice relating to modern varieties, seed sources and seed quality. Wheat farmers had better awareness and grew modern varieties (87%), applied fertilizers (99.5%), herbicides (93%), seed treatment (90%) or insecticides (41%). In contrast barley growers had low awareness (36...

Equilibrium moisture content (EMC) as a function of relative humidity (RH) was measured in oriented strandboard. particleboard, medium-density fiberboard, hardboard, high pressure laminates, and solid wood. The measurements were made in both adsorption and desorption at 2 9 2 . The EMCRH data were fit to Nelson's sorption isotherm. It was found that Nelson's model can be used to describe the ex...

to investigate the relationship between different traits, discover factors affecting this relationship and to identify components of seed yield in cultivated and wild safflower genotypes, this investigation was conducted at isfahan university of technology research farm under two different water regimes during 2008. significant differences were observed between genotypes belonged to the two spe...

In this study, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm has been coupled with activity coefficient models for prediction of surface tension of single and mixed electrolyte solutions. Various activity models such as Meissner, Pitzer and extended UNIQUAC have been used and coupled with Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The model parameters were determined through mathematical optimization using experimental ...

The ability of coconut husk to remove methylene blue from solution was investigated. Factors such as initial dye concentration, contact time, adsorbent dosage and pH of solution were studied. Results show that Langmuir isotherm can be successfully applied to the methylede blue coconut husk system and that coconut husk is a suitable adsorbent for such a dye. Maximum adsorption capacity is 99 mg ...

This study explored the feasibility of using granular ferric hydroxide as adsorbent for the removal of NO3-N. Optimum conditions for NO3-N removal were found to be pH 5.0 and equilibrium time 80min. The equilibrium sorption isotherm was better described by Langmuir sorption isotherm model. The maximum sorption capacity of granular ferric hydroxide was 4.254mg/g at 298K. A comparison of four kin...
