Degradation of Coke due to Alkali Adsorption

Removal of residual phenols from coke wastewater by adsorption.

After biological treatment, coke wastewater contains small amounts of phenolic compounds resistant to such treatment. The removal of phenols and COD from coke wastewater subjected to biological treatment was studied. The adsorbents used were granular activated carbon and the resins XAD-2, AP-246 and OC-1074. Equilibrium, kinetics and column assays were carried out, fitting the equilibrium data ...

Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide on Alkali Metal Exchanged Zeolites

"Textbook" adsorption at "nontextbook" adsorption sites: halogen atoms on alkali halide surfaces.

Density-functional theory and second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory calculations indicate that halogen atoms bond preferentially to halide substrate atoms on a series of alkali halide surfaces, rather than to the alkali atoms as might be anticipated. An analysis of the electronic structures in each system reveals that this novel adsorption mode is stabilized by the formation of textbo...

Degradation of protein disulphide bonds in dilute alkali.

The degradation of S--S bonds in 0.2 M-NaOH at 25 degrees C was studied for a series of proteins and simple aliphatic disulphide compounds, by using cathodic stripping voltammetry, ion-selective-electrode potentiometry, spectrophotometry and ultrafiltration. The disulphide bonds that dissociated in 0.2 M-NaOH were usually those that are solvent accessible and that can be reduced by mild chemica...
