background: the removal of toxic metals from sewage and wastewaters is one of the most important concerns in the twenty first century. the removal of poisonous cr(vi) from aqueous solution by different low-cost available nanoporous adsorbents was investigated in the present study.  methods: fumed silica, bentonite (bn), hydrotalcite (ht), mcm-41, na-y, mordenite (mor) and sapo-34 were used at d...

Oil-water emulsion flow behaviour was characterized with respect to surface chemistry. A state of the art stirred tank experimental set up was constructed that measured dynamic droplet size evolution with varying impeller speed. This technique was demonstrated with model Nexbase oil (with and without SPAN 80 surfactants) and water emulsions. Further, a CFD model for droplet size prediction was ...

This exercise is designed to acquaint the students with the basic principles of surface chemistry. It is suitable for advanced undergraduate students. Surface chemistry provides the key conceptual framework for both lifeand nanoscience, where, following the decreased size of the systems under study, the properties are extensively determined by the interfacial chemistry of such systems. The rapi...

Supramolecular chemistry has evolved from molecular chemistry over the last half century as the science of “chemistry beyond the molecule.” Supramolecular organic chemistry can be described in a number of ways, such as: (1) chemistry of molecular complexes; (2) chemistry of noncovalent bonds; (3) chemistry of the intermolecular bond; and (4) chemistry of molecular recognition. These are appeali...
