Knowledge about the interactions between gas molecules and adsorption sites is essential to customize metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as adsorbents. The dynamic interactions occurring during adsorption/desorption working cycles with several states are especially complicated. Even so, the gas dynamics based upon experimental observations and the distribution of guest molecules under various cond...

We investigated the reaction mechanism of a metal-unloaded zeolite-plasma hybrid system for decomposition of toluene at room temperature. Short-lived radicals and fast electrons did not contribute substantially to the reaction mechanism of toluene decomposition in the zeolite-plasma hybrid system. The main factor enhancing the reaction mechanism was gas-phase O3 directly reacting with toluene a...

Recently, we found a single crystal host, [M(II)2(bza)4(pyz)]n (bza and pyz = benzoate and pyrazine, M = Rh and Cu), which is suitable for the study of gas-containing structure through gas adsorption. They generated gas inclusion crystals by transition from a closed to an open phase through the process of smooth physisorption; guest gases are adsorbed into the generated narrow channels of the l...

We evaluate the exact equilibrium distribution of gas molecules adsorbed on an active surface with an infinite number of attachment sites. Our result is a Poisson distribution having mean X=&mgr;PP(s)/P(e), with &mgr; the mean gas density, P(s) the sticking probability, P(e) the evaporation probability in a time interval tau, and P Smoluchowski's exit probability in time interval tau for the su...

H2S reduction over Pure and Sulphur doped TiO2 nanoparticles was studied in this work. The parameter was catalytic destruction of H2S gas under high temperature of 450C using fixed bed catalytic system under laboratory conditions. Under these conditions 99.97% reduction was achieved using S-doped TiO2. 2.89% Sulphur was adsorbed on S-doped TiO2 nanoparticles to form Ti(SO4)2. Comparatively, no ...

Study of the effect of atmospheric relative humity (RH) on the adsorption of paraformaldehyde-generated formaldehyde gas on various surfaces and the effect of the adsorbed formaldehyde on the death rate of bacterial spores showed that increasing the RH caused a corresponding increase of formaldehyde levels on all surfaces. The amount peaked at 83% RH. The levels obtained at 100% RH were slightl...

1. Introduction The combination of chromatographic method and moment analysis of the response peaks is one of the useful techniques to study adsorption equilibrium and adsorption rate [1]. Perturbation chromatography with the mixed multi component adsorbate gas carrier (two adsorbates) has been applied to several studies on adsorption [2][3]. In this work, perturbation chromatography with multi...
