We present a new class of sequential adsorption models in which the adsorbing particles reach the surface following an inclined direction (shadow models). Capillary electrophoresis, adsorption in the presence of a shear, and adsorption on an inclined substrate are physical manifestations of these models. Numerical simulations are carried out to show how the new adsorption mechanisms are respons...

A novel sewage-sludge derived composite material was developed for the adsorptive removal of organic pollutants from water. In this study a batch adsorption study was carried out to examine the kinetics of antibiotics adsorption by this composite material. A pseudo-second order kinetics model fits the data extremely well, suggesting that chemical adsorption, rather than physical adsorption, is ...

Adsorption equilibria were analyzed on the basis of general equilibrium constant expression for the development of fundamental adsorption equations (Freundlich, Langmuir, and BET) in connection with the establishment of a general approach towards physical interpretations of adsorption parameters. Theoretically it was proved that Freundlich plot analysis cannot be used to find useful parameters ...

Activated carbon prepared from Euphorbia tirucalli L wood (ETAC) by chemical activation with phosphoric acid has been analysed for the removal of Reactive Red and Reactive Blue dyes from aqueous solutions through batch adsorption technique. Lower solution pH favours the adsorption of reactive dyes. The amount of dye adsorbed per unit mass of adsorbent increases with the increase in temperature ...

The significant structure theory of quantum liquids such as hydrogen, deuterium, and helium has been applied to the physical adsorption occurring in the submonolayer region. The partition function for the two-dimensional adsorbed fluid has been derived. The properties of isothermal and isosteric heat show good agreement with the available data from the literature.

in this paper we have down three theoretical study by using monte carlo simulation and mm+,amber and opls force field. the calculations were carried out using hyper chem professional,release 7.01 package of program. first we have studied the interaction of h2 molecule and he atomwith single-walled carbon nanotube at different temperature. for doing this study we placed h2 andhe in the center an...

The paper proposes a novel nano bearing formed by the physical adsorption of the confined fluid to the solid wall. The bearing is formed between two parallel smooth solid plane walls sliding against one another, where conventional hydrodynamic lubrication theory predicted no lubricating effect. In this bearing, the stationary solid wall is divided into two subzones which respectively have diffe...

In this investigation, the selected activated carbon is treated in NaOH solution or gas fluid with ozone from an ozone generator. FTIR, BET specific surface area and element analysis instruments were used to identify the difference in the chemical and physical characteristics between the activated carbon and oxidized activated carbon. The system of adsorption apparatus consists of a fixed adsor...

Adsorption and desorption mechanisms of methylene blue (MB) removal with iron-oxide coated porous ceramics filter (IOCPCF) were investigated in batch and column mode. The results revealed that MB removal mechanisms included physical adsorption and chemical adsorption, of which chemical adsorption by surface ligand complex reaction played a dominant role after infrared spectrum analysis. Recycli...
