concentrations in saline soils are often caused by lack of drainage and are associated with elevated salinity. Prediction of B adsorption and transport has required detailed The narrow range between deficiency and toxicity studies of B adsorption and subsequent determination of model panecessitates accurate quantification of soil solution B rameters. In this study we tested a general regression...

The adsorption of fluorine ions from aqueous solutions by oxihydroxides of aluminum was studied. The equilibrium sorption was explained by using the Lengmuire, Freundlich, Bet and Redlich-Peterson models of isotherms. The results obtained allow one to conclude that the mathematical model of adsorption Freundlich is the best for describing the measured experimental data, which testifies to the h...

The present work investigates the equilibrium adsorption of Chrysene on multi-walled carbon nanotubes at 293, 303 and 313°K, and determines the equilibrium adsorption isotherms and thermodynamic parameters (ΔG, ΔH and ΔS). The values of ΔH and ΔG suggested that the adsorption of Chrysene onto MWCNTs was endothermic and nonspontaneous.The experimental data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlic...

Rigorous mathematical modeling of adsorption processes in packed beds involves time-consuming computations which are considered as the fundamental weakness of such thorough mathematical models. Thus, reducing the computation time was a key factor in improving adsorption mathematical models. In order to achieve this goal, an attempt was made to know how much using different numerical methods inf...

The aim of this study is to determine the adsorption performance of three types of adsorbents for removal of As(V) from water: Bayoxide® E33 (granular iron(III) oxide), Titansorb® (granular titanium oxide) and a suspension of precipitated iron(III) hydroxide. Results of As(V) adsorption stoichiometry of two commercial adsorbents and precipitated iron(III) hydroxide in tap and demineralized wate...

This study investigates the capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) for the storage of methane through the equilibrium adsorption. An experimental apparatus consist of a dual adsorption vessel was set up for the measurement of equilibrium adsorption of methane on GAC using volumetric technique (pressure decay). Experimental isotherms of methane adsorption were determined by the measurement ...

Volumetric techniques were employed to study the adsorption of CO2 on a purified multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNT’s) sample, as a mesoporous material, at isothermal conditions of 288, 293 and 298 K and pressures ranging from 30 to 150 kPa. Langmuir, Freundlich and Sips equations were used to represent the isotherms. Also the parameters of these fitted isotherm models have been determined. The ...

Moisture adsorption rates for stored grains are important for accurate modeling of drying and storage. Wheat and barley samples at initial moisture contents typical of grain storage were exposed to several levels of higher humidity at two temperatures to measure adsorption rates. The best fit to the data was achieved with the Page equation and the cellular diffusion equations. The adsorption ra...

We consider the mean field kinetic equations describing the relaxation dynamics of a lattice model of a fluid confined in a porous material. The dynamical theory embodied in these equations can be viewed as a mean field approximation to a Kawasaki dynamics Monte Carlo simulation of the system, as a theory of diffusion, or as a dynamical density functional theory. The solutions of the kinetic eq...

The adsorption rate constants of Ra and Th were estimated from empirical data from a freshwater lake and its feeding saline springs. We utilized the unique setting of Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee, northern Israel) in which most of the Ra and Th nuclides are introduced into the lake by saline springs with high Ra activities and a high Ra/Ra ratio of 1.5. The mixing of the Ra enriched saline wat...
