Sorption-based heat transformation and storage appliances are very promising for utilizing solar heat and waste heat in cooling or heating applications. The economic and ecological efficiency of sorption-based heat transformation depends on the availability of suitable hydrophilic and hydrothermally stable sorption materials. We investigated the feasibility of using the metal-organic frameworks...

Excess intake of boron containing water can pose serious problems on human beings. Traditional technologies are limited by insufficient efficiency especially for trace boron removal. In this study, a novel sorbent was developed. A series of batch sorption experiments was conducted to investigate the boron sorption behaviors of the synthesized chitosan based sorbent. Our results show, comparing ...

Batch sorption isotherms of 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene, and tetracycline to organic-free montmorillonites and soils receiving heat treatment (375°C for 24 h) were compared with those to unheated sorbents. Sorption of the nonpolar 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene to soil was lowered after the removal of humus by heating, consistent with the mechanism of hydrophobic partition into organi...

We present a software-tool for the simulation of a transport and reaction model for a potential waste scenarios of a radioactive waste-disposals. We introduce the complex model for the transport-, reactionand sorption-processes. The model is based on systems of linear convection-diffusiondispersion-reaction equations with equilibrium sorption. The discretisation is done with finite volume discr...

it seems that the presence of soil organic matter (som) increases p availability to plants. this effect has commonly been ascribed as competition between the decomposition products of som and p for soil sorption sites resulting in p concentrations increase of soil solution. this study was carried out to obtain information about soil organic matter (som) influence on kinetics and thermodynamics ...

the sorption and desorption behaviors of eu(iii) from aqueous solutions with cation exchange resins containing carboxyl groups (d155 resin) were studied in terms of varied eu(iii) concentration, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time and temperature. batch shaking sorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of d155 resin in the removal of eu(iii) from aqueous solutions. the lo...

IRMOF-3 nano/microcrystals with controllable morphologies and sizes were successfully obtained by a simple solvothermal method. The shape evolution of IRMOF-3 crystals from cube to truncated cube, cuboctahedron, truncated octahedron and finally to octahedron was achieved by adjusting the amount of surfactant. The surfaces of the IRMOF-3 nano/microstructures are affected by the reaction temperat...

Sorption of dissolved strontium on kaolinite, amorphous silica, and goethite was studied as a function of pH, aqueous strontium concentration, the presence or absence of atmospheric CO(2) or dissolved phosphate, and aging over a 57-day period. Selected sorption samples ([Sr(aq)](i) approximately 0.5-1x10(-3) m) were examined with synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at low (13-23 K) ...

Batch sorption and column breakthrough studies were conducted to investigate the potential of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) to remove bacteriophage MS2 from contaminated waters. All four of the LDHs evaluated in this study had very high retention capacities for MS2. Sorption results showed that MS2 could be completely removed from 5.2 x 10(2) plaque-forming units (pfu)/mL solution by Mg-Al L...
