The measured dynamic surface tension of a water drop in air saturated by heptane vapor shows a sharp decrease from about 60 mN m−1 to 40 mN m−1, and less after a certain adsorption time. The observed adsorption kinetics is analyzed by a theoretical model based on multilayer adsorption of alkanes from the vapor phase at the water surface. The model assumes a dependence of the kinetic coefficient...

A batch adsorption equation was derived by integrating an irreversible rate equation obtained by neglecting the desorption term of the Langmuir adsorption-rate equation. The integrated equation was in reasonably good agreement with experiment and provided a means for determining from the data the parameters gQ and ku These constants, namely, the adsorptive capacity and the adsorption rate const...

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS In the oil industry, asphaltenes are known for their tendency to aggregate in solution and to deposit on surfaces, with both properties being connected with operational problems associated with recovery, production and refining. Interactions involving asphaltenes and other crude oil components have been a major aspect of investigation in attempting to understand the fu...

This paper investigates the bioseparation of binary protein mixtures using polystyrene based anion exchange resin. Adsorption experiments were conducted in batch mode using draft-tube internally recirculate dair lift biocontactor in comparison with the conventional shake flask batch adsorption equilibrium experiments. Binary protein mixtures contained bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine haemo...

In this paper the time dependence of adsorption at solid-Iiquid interface is discussed for both the mass-transport and intrinsic kinetic control of the adsorption process. It has been shown that the time dependence of adsorption of the mass-transport control' of the adsorption process is mostly dependent on the strength of adsorption (natur al diffusion) and sametimes on the mass-transport coef...

In this study, adsorption of ten environmentally halogenated aliphatic synthetic organic compounds (SOCs) by a pristine graphene nanosheet (GNS) and a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was examined, and their adsorption behaviors were compared with those of a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and a granular activated carbon (GAC). In addition, the impacts of background water components (i.e., na...

As one of the most important soil components, kaolinite plays an important role in transport and fixation of organic pollutants in soils. P-Aminoazobenzene (PAAB) is a sort of the carcinogenic aromatic amine which is commonly used as the intermediates of azo dyes. It can cause mutations and cancer of aquatic biota as well as humans. In this study, adsorption of PAAB on kaolinite in aqueous solu...

The adsorption properties of water molecules on TiO₂ nanotubes (TiO₂NT) and the interaction mechanisms between water molecules are studied by first principles calculations. The adsorption preferences of water molecules in molecular or dissociated states on clean and H-terminated TiO₂NT are evaluated. Adsorption of OH clusters on (0, 6) and (9, 0) TiO₂ nanotubes are first studied. The smallest a...

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 ...

In this study, the adsorption of synthetic landfill leachate onto four kinds of activated carbon has been investigated. From the equilibrium and kinetics experiments, it was observed that coal based PAC presented the highest organic pollutants removal efficiency (54%), followed by coal based GAC (50%), wood based GAC (33%) and wood based PAC (14%). The adsorption equilibrium of PAC and GAC was ...
