Theoretical Study on Relaxation Processes of Biopolymers in Aqueous Solution

Gelation of aqueous pectin solutions: a dynamic light scattering study.

We report the dynamic light scattering study of the gelation of aqueous solutions of the biopolymer, pectin, induced by the addition of calcium chloride. The time correlation function data are analyzed under the framework of the coupling model. As the solution enters the semidilute regime where gelation sets in, the relaxation process shows a stretched exponential behavior. The stretching expon...

Thermodynamic study of dioxovanadium (V) Complexes with p-sulphonato-calix [6] arene in aqueous solution

2-Chlorophenol Removal of Aqueous Solution Using Advanced Oxidation Processes Resulting from Iron/ Persulfate and Ultra Violet/ Persulfate

Background: Advanced oxidation processes are used to remove toxic aromatic compounds with low biodegradability, such as 2-chlorophenol. This study investigates the use of Sulfate (SO4-) and persulfate (S2O82-) radicals, as one of the advanced oxidation methods, to remove 2- chlorophenol from aquatic solutions. Materials and Methods: This experimental and pilot-scale study was carried out usi...

Study of the adsorption of methyl orange from aqueous solution using nickel oxide nanoparticles: Equilibrium and Kinetics Studies

Methyl orange is one dye resulted from the textile industry. The aim of this study is to test theadsorption capacity of nickel oxide nanoparticles for removing the methyl orange from aqueoussolution. The parameters studied were the effect of temperature, contact time and initial pH ofsolution. Results indicate that the removal efficiency of nickel oxide nanoparticles increases withincreasing co...

Thermodynamic study of Ion pairing in Aqueous solution of 〖BaF〗_2 by (_^19)F-NMR

The ion-pair association constant values, related to the reaction +  were determined by means of the NMR spectroscopy. The values of the thermodynamic functions of the ion pairing process were calculated on the basis of the NMR results. In addition, the association entropy was found to be dependent on the temperature. Comparing the experimental data and the Fuoss theory it is found that  ion-pa...
