A rapid, sensitive immunoassay based on a surface plasmon resonance sensor in a flow system for the determination of alkylphenol polyethoxylate (APEO) is described. The method is based on an indirect competitive reaction between an anti-APEO antibody in the sample solution and APEO immobilized on a sensor chip and APEO in the same sample solution. A sensor chip was prepared by immobilizing an A...

A Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy study of the photodegradation of adsorbed bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) on porous TiO2 films was carried out. The experiments were performed in a flow-through cell in water at concentrations of 10-6 mol/L at room temperature. The curve fitting method of the second derivative spectra allowed us to explore details of th...

3-Hydroxypropionaldehyde (3HPA), a potential C3-platform chemical for a biobased industry, is produced from glycerol using Lactobacillus reuteri through its glycerol dehydratase activity. However, the process is characterized by low yield and productivity due to toxic effects of 3HPA on the biocatalyst activity. In this study, a semicarbazide-functionalized resin was prepared, evaluated for ads...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are commonly used to obtain adsorption properties of gas molecules inside porous materials. In this work, we discuss various optimization strategies that lead to faster MC simulations with CO2 gas molecules inside host zeolite structures used as a test system. The reciprocal space contribution of the gas-gas Ewald summation and both the direct and the reciprocal gas...

In the present study, Cd(2+) adsorption on polyacrylate-coated TiO(2) engineered nanoparticles (TiO(2)-ENs) and its effect on the bioavailability as well as toxicity of Cd(2+) to a green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were investigated. TiO(2)-ENs could be well dispersed in the experimental medium and their pH(pzc) is approximately 2. There was a quick adsorption of Cd(2+) on TiO(2)-ENs and a s...

The solubility values determined by voltammetry have been overestimated because of adsorption on electrodes...

Biosensors based on landscape phages immobilized by physical adsorption on the surface of a quartz crystal microbalance was used for detection of beta-galactosidase from Escherichia coli. The sensor had a detection limit of a few nanomoles and a response time of a approximately 100 s over the range of 0.003-210 nM. The binding dose-response curve had a typical sigmoid shape and the signal was s...

A novel, simple numerical method to determine the pore and surface diffusivities in adsorbents from a single experimental concentration decay curve obtained using batch adsorption technique was investigated this study. The diffusion coefficients were determined based on conventional parallel model its dimensionless form theoretical correlation. assumed that film mass transfer resistance negligi...

Coal and gas outburst is the result of comprehensive action in situ stress, mechanical properties coal rock. The coupling effect loading adsorption eventually leads to rock failure. Based on principle strain equivalence considering stress loading, an adsorption-loading damage model established which breaks through bottleneck only a single influencing factor. Taking briquette samples with contro...
