Simulation of chemical element adsorption, release, and transport is possible without the need to perform time consuming, detailed adsorption studies on multiple samples by incorporating prediction equations into chemical speciation–transport models before simulating. Adsorption models also assume that the chemical species in a mixture is at chemical equilibrium which is the state in which the ...

Background: Synthetic dyes are serious pollutants and wide ranges of methods have been employed for their removal from aquatic systems. We studied the adsorption of "Nile blue A" (NBA), an anionic dye, from aqueous solution by oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Methods: Scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize ...

Grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations and adsorption experiments are conducted to understand the adsorption of CO2 onto bundles of 3D aligned double-walled carbon-nanotubes of diameter 5 nm at 303 K. The simulation of partial adsorption isotherms, i.e., only inner tube volume, only interstices between tubes, and unrestricted, allows a breakdown of the experimental adsorption isotherms into co...

An experimental study of Xe and Kr adsorption in metal-organic frameworks CPO-27-Ni, CPO-27-Mg, and ZIF-8 was carried out. In situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction experiments allowed precise determination of the adsorption sites and sequence of their filling with increasing of gas pressure at different temperatures. Structural investigations were used for interpretation of gas adsorption m...

Adsorption is the net accumulation of a chemical species at the interface between a solid phase and an aqueous solution phase, leading to a loss from the solution phase (Sposito, 1989). Adsorption reactions can be described by various models. Empirical models provide descriptions of adsorption data without theoretical basis. Examples are the distribution coefficient, the Freundlich adsorption i...

Thermodynamic equations are de®eloped for adsorption of multicomponent gas mixtures in microporous adsorbents based on the principles of solution thermodynamics. The con®entional spreading pressure and surface area ®ariables, which describe 2-D films, must be abandoned for adsorption in micropores, in which spreading pressure cannot be measured experimentally or calculated from intermolecular f...

in this study adsorption of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene on single walled carbon nanotubes has been investigated.  the effect of contact time, ph, initial concentration of 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, adsorbent dosage and temperature on its adsorption has been carried out in order to find optimum adsorption conditions. adsorption isotherms and related constants were also determined. results showed that ...
