The physical adsorption of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide gases on the zigzag (5,0) carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen was investigated through the application of B3LYP/6-31G* at the level of theory on Gaussian 03 software. A variety of stable and high abundance structures of nitrogen doped carbon nanotubes were considered in order to study the interaction between the mentioned gases in ...

presence of heavy metals in the aquatic systems has become a serious problem. as a result, therehas been a great deal of attention given to new technologies for removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. adsorption is one of the effective methods for removal of toxic heavy metal such as chromium (vi). in the present study, adsorbent is prepared from rice husk, a low cost by product f...

the study aimed to investigate the adsorption mechanism of di-n-butyl phthalate (dbp) onbrown soil and red soil in shenyang and hunan province, respectively, china. adsorption kinetics andisotherms experiments were conducted at 288, 298 and 308 k, respectively. results of kinetics showed thatadsorption of dbp exhibited a two-step process in both brown and red soil. different models were used to...

In this study, carbon was made from walnut wood as a low-cost and non-toxicnatural adsorbent.Walnut wood(WC), were successfully synthesized by an in chemical vapor deposition methodthen characterized using FT-IR techniques and used for the removal of trihalomethanes(THMs) from aqueous solution. The trihalomethanes(THMs) removal by the developed adsorbent was investigated using batch adsorption ...

Mass-sensitive electro-acoustic devices such as surface acoustic wave (SAW)micro-balances, capable to operate with aqueous media are particularly favorable for thedevelopment of biosensors. Their dimensions and physical properties offer a large potentialin biological fluid investigations, especially for measuring physical phenomenon (massdeposition, adsorption, pressure...). In this work, we pr...

Berlin, E. (U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.), H. R. Curran, and M. J. Pallansch. Physical surface features and chemical density of dry bacterial spores. J. Bacteriol. 86:1030-1036. 1963.-Gas-displacement and gas-adsorption techniques were used to determine the chemical density and physical surface properties of the spores of Bacillus subtilis 15U, B. cereus 720, and B. stearoth...

A nanocomposite of titanium dioxide (TiO(2)) and polyaniline (PANi) was synthesized by in-situ chemical polymerization using aniline (ANi) monomer and TiCl(4) as precursors. SEM pictures show that the nanocomposite was created in the form of long PANi chains decorated with TiO(2) nanoparticles. FTIR, Raman and UV-Vis spectra reveal that the PANi component undergoes an electronic structure modif...
