in this paper, the development of a new potassium carbonateon alumina support sorbent prepared byimpregnating k2co3 with an industrial grade of al2o3 support was investigated. the co2 capturecapacity was measured using real flue gas with 8% co2 and 12% h2o in a fixed-bed reactor at atemperature of 65 °c using breakthrough curves. the developed sorbent showed an adsorptioncapacity of 66.2 mgco2/...

The case of a sorption process considered here involves a solid phase (sorbent) and a liquid phase (solvent, normally water) containing a dissolved species to be sorbed (sorbate, e.g. metal ions). Due to the higher ‘affinity’ of the sorbent for the sorbate species the latter is attracted into the solid and bound there by different mechanisms. This process takes place until an equilibrium is est...

A novel porous organosilicate material was evaluated for application as a solid phase extraction sorbent for preconcentration of nitroenergetic targets from aqueous solution prior to HPLC analysis. The performance of the sorbent in spiked deionized water, groundwater, and surface water was evaluated. Targets considered included 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene, 2,4-dinitrotoluene, RDX, HMX, and nitroglyce...

Consider how these problems could be solved by using a solid phase (such as a chromatographic sorbent) instead of the second liquid phase. There are still two distinct phases that can be readily segregated. Also, by proper selection of pH and type of solid phase sorbent, one could optimize the conditions to selectively partition the component(s) of interest on the solid phase. After removal of ...

The ability to use imprinted polymers for solid-phase extraction is demonstrated in a model pre-concentration of bupivacaine from human plasma samples prior to gas chromatography. Imprinting of the structural analogue pentycaine yielded a sorbent which efficiently extracted analyte and internal standard, while possible interference on analyte quantification from leakage of remaining template mo...

Methods to monitor contamination of workplaces with antineoplastic drugs have been developed and validated. Cyclophosphamide (CP) was used as a model compound as it is one of the most commonly used antineoplastic drugs. A wipe sampling method to detect contamination with CP at surfaces was developed. A personal air sampling method to sample gas and vapour on solid sorbent tubes and particles wi...

The paper presents our new results about efficiency of wastes based on hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile textile fibers (HPAN) as sorbents in removal of some dyes from textile effluents. The effect of some experimental variables such as initial dye concentration, sorbent mass, pH, temperature, and contact time were investigated. The sorbent dye sorption systems are described using Freundlich, Langmu...

in this project, eggshell membrane was used as a solid phase extraction sorbent for extraction of morphine followed by hplc analysis. at first, raw eggshell membrane was used and then, because of low adsorption of morphine on untreated eggshell membrane (

Halloysite sorbent was added to liquid urine (dose 10 g/dm) and solid faeces (unmodified structure, dose 50 g/kg) being a subject of anaerobic fermentation in a hermetic system for 20 days. Identification of surface morphology and elementary chemical composition in microregions of the spent sorbent were done using scanning electron microscope Zeiss Supra 35 equipped with EDS detectors. Both gra...

By combining thermodynamic database mining with first principles density functional theory and phonon lattice dynamics calculations, a theoretical screening methodology to identify the most promising CO2 sorbent candidates from the vast array of possible solid materials has been proposed and validated. The ab initio thermodynamic technique has the advantage of allowing identification of thermod...
