Twelve well-characterized activated carbons with average micropore widths between 0.7 and 2 nm, total surface areas of 378–1270 m2 g−1 and specific capacitances C up to 320 F g−1 have been investigated, using H2SO4 2 M as electrolyte. Some of the carbons have also been oxidized with (NH4)2S2O8, which leads to specific oxygen contents between 0.4 and 7.1 mol m−2 of carbon surface area. It appear...

Nanopore-based DNA sequencing and biomolecule sensing have attracted more and more attention. In this work, novel sensing devices were built on the basis of the chips containing nanopore arrays in polycarbonate (PC) membranes and micropores in Si3N4 films. Using the integrated chips, the transmembrane ionic current induced by biomolecule's translocation was recorded and analyzed, which suggeste...

Changes in normal polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) motility after membranebinding and internalisation of IgG aggregates (a model of soluble immune complexes) have been studied by the micropore filter assay. The results have confirmed that IgG aggregates stimulate as well as inhibit PMN chemotaxis. These effects are dependent on the size and concentration of the IgG aggregates in solution as we...

Experimental data of methane adsorption on two types of activated carbon have been carried out at pressures up to 35 bar and at ambient temperature. Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics data at high pressure were measured using a volumetric method. A theoretical model has been presented to calculate the amount of adsorbed gas on adsorbents in a cylindrical tank. In the model, gas enters the bed ...

The sorption of mercury vapor by adsorbed sulfur in the zeolites CaA (=5A) and NaX (= 13X) and two types of active carbon has been measured at a temperature of 50°C. With increasing degree of micropore filling by sulfur the fraction of sulfur accessible to mercury atoms decreased for CaA and NaX. The sulfur chemisorbed on carbon (only less than 0.05 g sulfur per g) is not very active for mercur...

This paper describes the effects of igneous intrusions on pore structure and adsorption capacity of the Permian coals in the Huaibei Coalfield, China. Twelve coal samples were obtained at different distances from a ~120 m extremely thick sill. Comparisons were made between unaltered and heat-affected coals using geochemical data, pore-fracture characteristics, and adsorption properties. Thermal...

Improvements in micropore arterial line filter designs used for extracorporeal circulation are still needed because microbubbles larger than the rated pore sizes are being detected beyond the filter outlet. Linked to principles governing the function of micropore filters, fluid pressures contained in extracorporeal circuits also influence the behavior of gas bubbles and the extent to which they...

Abstract Fractal dimension can be used to the pore surface characterize. For structures in different sizes, calculation models of fractal theory should distinguished due principles gas adsorption experiments. To further study adaptability model for experimental data, author collected shale samples Longmaxi formation from Well JY1, then CO 2 and N provided PSD curves. In addition, dimensions mic...
