Adsorption of poloxamine 908, a tetrafunctional polyethylene oxide (PEO)-polypropylene oxide ethylenediamine block copolymer, onto the surface of monodispersed polystyrene nanoparticles (232 +/- 0.33 nm) follows a bimodal pattern. Initially, the isotherm follows a Langmuir profile with a plateau observable over a very narrow equilibrium poloxamine concentration (0.0018-0.0031 mM). The isotherm ...

liquid-phases adsorption equilibrium of phenol onto two naturally available soils namely kalathur soil (kr) and adhanur soil (ar) were studied. the experimental data were analyzed using fourteen isotherm models, ranging from single-parametric model to multi-parametric models (up to 5 parameters) of the system. results show that in general the accuracy of models to fit experimental data improve...

The development of new, cheaper, and more effective technologies to decrease the amount wastewater containing heavy metals improve quality is indispensable. Adsorption has become one alternative treatment methods. A small number studies focusing on batch technique for nickel ion removal by new generation exchangers are described in literature. In this paper, Ni(II) from aqueous solutions using ...

ethyl benzene used increasingly each year is the raw material of producing styrene monomer. this substanceis produced from benzene alkylation with ethylene or ethanol, depending on the availability and cost of rawmaterials. in this study benzene alkylation in the presence of ethanol in a catalytic fixed bed reactor inthree states of isotherm, adiabatic and non-isotherm-non-adiabatic is mathemat...

isotherm equation is one of the important scientific bases for adsorbent selection. there are different isotherms that do not account for an adsorbate, different chemisorption geometries on the nanoporous surface. it is interesting to introduce a general isotherm, which considers different chemisorption geometries of an adsorbate on nanoporous surfaces. in this study, an isotherm for non-dissoci...

The main objective of this research is stability determination of activated carbon adsorbent at fixed bed adsorption column for desulfurization of diesel fuel by mathematical modeling. This model is based on mass balances. Equations that are the outcome of mass balances are known as the second degree of partial differential equations, and they must be solved together simultaneously...

factors that affect stability. The interaction of pharmaceutical solids with water can affect their chemical stability as well as their physical and mechanical properties. The influence of moisture on solid-state stability has therefore been extensively documented. It is important now to understand and to anticipate the behaviour of a product exposed to a variety of environmental conditions (e....

Sorption of P to the bed sand medium is a major removal mechanism for P in subsurface flow constructed reed beds. Selecting a sand medium with a high P-sorption capacity is therefore important to obtain a sustained P-removal. The objective of this study was to evaluate the P-removal capacities of 13 Danish sands and to relate the removal to their physico-chemical characteristics. The P-removal ...

A previous study involving lead(II) [Pb(II)] sorption onto ferrihydrite over a wide range of conditions highlighted the advantages of combining molecular- and macroscopic-scale investigations with surface complexation modeling to predict Pb(II) speciation and partitioning in aqueous systems. In this work, an extensive collection of new macroscopic and spectroscopic data was used to assess the a...
