Currently there are significant amounts of natural gas that cannot be produced and treated to meet pipeline specifications, because that would not be economically viable. This work investigates a bench scale multistage fluidized bed (MSFB) with shallow beds for sour gas removal from natural gas using a commercially available supported amine sorbent. A MSFB is regarded as a promising adsorber ty...

We have previously described the application of novel porous organosilicate materials to the preconcentration of nitroenergetic targets from aqueous solution prior to HPLC analysis. The performance of the sorbents and the advantages of these types of materials over commercially available solid phase extraction sorbents have been demonstrated. Here, the development of systems for application of ...

a novel, simple, sensitive and effective method has been developed for preconcentration of hg(ii) on nano-fe3o4-dop-ed solid-phase extraction adsorbent. in this paper, dioctyl phthalate (dop) was used to encapsulate nano-fe3o4 and produce a nano-fe3o4-dop sorbent based new sorbent was prepared. this was treated with ethylenediamine (ed) in another solvent-free procedure for the formation of a n...

the interaction between proteins and membranes has an important role in biological pro-cesses.we have calculated energies of interaction between melittin and dmpc bilayer in differenttemperatures. we have used the charmm software for md simulation under the canonical (n,v, e) ensemble at different temperatures. the computations have shown that water moleculeshave more penetration into the bilay...

Solid-phase extraction permits the parallel processing of samples in large numbers. We have applied this technique to the isolation of retinol isotopomers from plasma of humans participating in a study of vitamin A stable isotope dilution. The isotopomers were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The extraction involves the separation of retinol from its aqueous matrix with a C18 s...

A novel Zn(II) imprinted polymer was synthesized via a co-precipitation method using graphene oxide/magnetic chitosan nanocomposite as supporting material. The synthesized imprinted polymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and applied as a sorbent for selective magnetic solid phase extraction of zinc followed by its deter...

The most essential limitation of batch-injection analysis (BIA) methodology compared to other flow methods (CFA, FIA, SIA) is the lack of possibility of on-line sample processing in the measuring system. Some procedures of on-line sample pretreatment in BIA are possible by changing the plastic tip of the automatic micropipette used for sample injection into a flow-through reactor, e.g. by packi...

Hot reformate gas produced by reforming of heavy fuels, such as JP-8, must be desulfurized prior to its use in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). This requires development of sorbent materials with high sulfur absorption efficiency and capacity at the SOFC operating temperature (650-800 C) to avoid heat exchanger penalties. Sorbent performance stability in cyclic operation of sulfidation and regen...

Equilibrium condition is attained when the concentration of the solute remains constant, as a result of zero net transfer of solute sorbed and desorbed from sorbent surface. The equili‐ brium sorption isotherms describe these relationships between the equilibrium concentra‐ tion of the sorbate in the solid and liquid phase at constant temperature. Experimental data may provide different isother...
