The ion exchange of Na for Cr/K, Cr/Mg and Cr/Ca in Y and X zeolites was studied using breakthrough curves. It was observed that Cr ions were able to remove some competitive ions that had already been exchanged at the zeolitic sites, producing a sequential ion exchange. Some mass transfer parameters such as length of unused bed, overall mass transfer coefficient, operational ratio and dimension...

In the preceding companion article, we reported high-temperature molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to trace single-molecule as well as collective mean square displacements over a range of temperatures (6001500 K) and loadings (infinite dilution to four benzenes per supercage) to evaluate respectively the selfdiffusivities and cooperative (alternatively Maxwell-Stefan) diffusivities of benzene...

Many efforts have been made to develop amine-based solid adsorbents for capture of CO2 by adsorption. Compared with the traditional process of absorption in aqueous solutions of amines, the adsorbents with amine immobilized in solids generally result in processes with lower capital and energy costs. The literature contains some experimental studies of CO2 adsorption in impregnated materials; ho...

A variety of different isoforms of voltage-sensitive Na+ channels have now been identified. The recent three-dimensional analysis of Na+ channels has unveiled a unique and unexpected structure of the Na+ channel protein. Na+ channels can be classified into two categories on the basis of their amino acid sequence, Nav1 isoforms currently comprising nine highly homologous clones and Nax that poss...

The removal of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Naproxen (NAX) in water by hydroxyl radicals (•OH) was performed electrochemical advanced oxidation processes either with Pt or BDD anodes and a 3D carbon felt cathode. degradation NAX (•OH vs electrolysis time) well fitted to pseudo-first-order reaction rate kinetic. detected intermediates (aromatic compounds carboxylic acids) wer...
