Results on the adsorption of MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions in fixed-bed dynamics obtained on AC-400 and AC-600 adsorbents beds indicated that the AC-400 bed appears to be the most efficient in removing MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions in acidic media. Indeed, the adsorbed amounts, the adsorbed capacities at saturation and the elimination percentage of MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions obtained with AC-400 (31.24 mg;52.06 mg·g<sup>-1</sup> and 41.65% respectively) were higher compared to those obtained with AC-600 (9.87 mg;16.45 mg·g<sup>-1</sup> and 17.79% respectively). The breakthrough curves kinetic modeling revealed that the Thomas model and the pseudo-first-order kinetic model were the most suitable models to describe the adsorption of MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions on adsorbents studied in our experimental conditions. The results of the intraparticle diffusion model showed that intraparticle diffusion was involved in the adsorption mechanism of MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions on investigated adsorbents and was not the limiting step and the only process controlling MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions adsorption. In contrast to AC-400, the intraparticle diffusion on AC-600 bed plays an important role in the adsorption mechanism of MnO<sub>4</sub>-</sup> ions.展开更多

The process of adsorption follows the pseudo second-order kinetic equation and the adsorption behavior is fitted with a Freundlich isotherm. The removal rate of Cd is slightly dependent on the initial pH value over a wide range of 4-11. The addition of Zn2+ and Cu2+ ions hardly affects the Cd adsorption, whereas the coexisting Pb2+ ion greatly interferes with the adsorption. The adsorption mechanism is supposed as a cation-exchange process between Cd2+ and calcium and Mg2+ present on the surface of BF, and somewhat as adsorption in a hydrolyzed form. The adsorbed Cd ions are desorbed effectively by a 0.1 mol/L HCl solution.展开更多

The adsorption properties of CFBC ash-cement pastes were studied, and ordinary pulverized coal combustion （PCC） fly ash-cement pastes were used as control. The water-adsorption and superplasticizer （SP）-adsorption properties of the pastes were evaluated by water demand and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy respectively. The results show that CFBC ash-cement system has greater compressive strength as compared with PCC fly ash-cement system at a given curing age, although the water demand of the former is significantly higher than that of the latter. CFBC ash-cement pastes possess higher adsorption ability of aliphatic SP than PCC fly ash-cement pastes and the adsorption amount increases with an increase in ash replacement ratio. CFBC ash- cement pastes exhibit lower workability with higher slump loss. It is concluded that CFBC ash can be potentially used as supplementary cementitious material in concrete production, but the mix design of CFBC ash concrete needs to be appropriately adjusted. It is suggested that CFBC ash is used for the production of the concrete needing low flowability.展开更多

The results of contact angle and in-situ AFM demonstrated that IPXPO adsorbed on chalcopyrite increases surface hydrophobicity and roughness. It was found by CV experiments that a layer passive film was formed. The results of XPS spectra further revealed that the thiol S atom, oxime N atom, and O atom in the IPXPO molecule might react with copper atoms to form Cu-S, Cu-N, and Cu-O bonds, respectively. An artificial mixed minerals flotation test indicated that under the condition of pH=6.79 and IPXPO initial concentration 5×10^(-5)mol/L, the flotation recovery of chalcopyrite reached about 90%, while for pyrite only 25%, suggesting that IPXPO is an excellent collector for flotation separation and enrichment of chalcopyrite.展开更多

This theoretical study snpported the reaction mechanism provided by Kovalev et al, The results were also a base for further investigation of some more complex systems such as the oxida.tion on porous silicon surface.展开更多

It is one of the excellent and efficient renewable bioproducts. Consequently, a number of bioactive compounds have been identified including bioactive peptides, collagen, chitosan, and gelatin which are commercially marketed. The current study involves the extraction and generation of chitosan nanoparticles from fish scales. The synthesized chitosan nanosubstances were categorized by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The viability of utilizing fish scales as an economical bio-adsorbent for elimination of textile dye was studied on industrial effluent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to study the dye adsorption of chitosan nanoparticles before and after the dye treatment. With chitosan nanoparticle treatment of the textile effluents, removal of COD was improved to 80% and the turbidity removal efficiency was improved up to 90%. Thus, the present study provides an excellent bio-adsorbent chitosan nanoparticle generated from fish scales which have potential application as an adsorbent in bioremediation like wastewater treatment.展开更多

The non-bonded interaction effects of the molecule GRS with BN(7,7-7) nanotube on chemical shift tensors, natural charge and electronic properties such as the energy gap between HOMO and LUMO, global hardness, electronegativity and electronic chemical potential have been also detected. The natural bond orbital(NBO) analysis suggested that charge transfer depended between GRS and nanotube and induces a dipole moment in the complex. Then, the possibility of the use of BN(7,7-7) nanotube for GRS delivery to the diseased cells has been established.展开更多

Aeetonitrile and methanol were used as the porogen with ethylene glycol dimethaerylate （EGDMA） as the erosslinker and 2,2＇-azobis （ isobutyronitrile ） （ AIBN ） as the initiator. The experimental parameters of the equilibrium isotherms were estimated via linear and nonlinear regression analyses. The linear equadon as the functions of the adsorption concentration of the single compound in its solution and the competitive adsorption of the single compound in its mixed compounds solution was then expressed, and the adsorption equilibrium data were correlated to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The mixture compounds show competitive adsorption on the specific binding sites of quereetin-MIP. Furthermore, the competitive Langmnir isotherms were applied to the mixture compounds. The adsorption concentrations of quercetin, （＋）eatechin（＋C）, and （-）epieateehin（EC） on the quercetin molecular imprinted polymer were compared. The quercetin-imprinted polymer shows extraordinarily higher adsorption ability for quercetin than for the two eateehin compounds that were also assessed.展开更多
