Surface chemistry of active carbon: Specific adsorption of phenols

Surface chemistry of carbon dioxide

The review discusses how CO 2 surface chemistry has developed since the early 1950s. Emphasis is given to studies of well-characterized surfaces of metals, oxides and some more complex systems involving in particular alkali modified surfaces and also of coadsorbed molecules.

Adsorption of hydrogen sulfide onto activated carbon fibers: effect of pore structure and surface chemistry.

To understand the nature of H2S adsorption onto carbon surfaces under dry and anoxic conditions, the effects of carbon pore structure and surface chemistry were studied using activated carbon fibers (ACFs) with different pore structures and surface areas. Surface pretreatments, including oxidation and heattreatment, were conducted before adsorption/desorption tests in a fixed-bed reactor. Raw A...

Aqueous Solution Surface Chemistry of Carbon Nanotubes

Chemistry-specific surface adsorption of the barnacle settlement-inducing protein complex.

Gregarious settlement in barnacle larvae (cyprids) is induced by a contact pheromone, the settlement-inducing protein complex (SIPC). The SIPC has been identified both in the cuticle of adult barnacles and in the temporary adhesive secretion (footprint) of cyprids. Besides acting as a settlement inducer, the presence of the SIPC in footprints points to its additional involvement in the adhesion...

Investigation of Molecular Selenium ‎Adsorption to the Outer Surface of Single ‎Wall Carbon Nanotubes

   In this study the adsorption of selenium molecule (Se2) on the outer surface of zigzag (5,0), (8,0) and (10,0) carbon nanotubes has been investigated. We examined number adsorbed orientations as well as different adsorption sites on nanotubes. The adsorption energies, equilibrium distances, energy differences between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest uno...
