A low-cost activated carbon (XSBLAC) prepared from XanthocerasSorbifoliaBungehull via chemical activation was investigated to determine its adsorption and desorption properties for zinc(II) ions from aqueous solutions. XSBLAC was characterized based on its N₂-adsorption/desorption isotherm, EDX, XRD, SEM and FTIR results. An adsorption study was conducted in a series of experiments to optimize ...

In order to develop an efficient method by which eliminate NOx pollution, several new catalyst systems including different heteropolyacids (HPAs) and supported phosphotungstic acids (HPWs) (HPW/SiO2, HPW/SnO2, HPW/USY HPW/ZSM-5) for adsorption-decomposition of were prepared studied. The obtained catalysts characterized using a Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) measurement Fourier transform infrared ...

We undertake steps to overcome four challenges that have hindered the understanding of ZnO/biomolecule interfaces at atomic scale: parametrization a classical force field, ZnO surface termination and amino acid protonation state in methanol, convergence enhanced sampling molecular dynamics simulations. predict adsorption free energies for histidine, serine, cysteine, tryptophan remarkable agree...

silicon and aluminum sources are most important reactants in the synthesis of zeolite. the use of the silicon source has an important effect on the crystallization of zeolites. also, it can change the properties of the end product. this work reports the influence of three common commercial silica sources such as colloidal silica (ludox am-30), fumed silica and water glass on the crystallinity o...

Silica aerogels are frequently employed as solid desiccants in enthalpy wheels for dehumidifying the supply stream in air-conditioning systems. These desiccant materials possess good moisture adsorption and desorption characteristics due to their porous structure. Analysis of adsorption and desorption isotherms is critical for performance characterization and is often performed to evaluate the ...

The research on network marketing performance evaluation, including evaluation indicator system and methods, lies in the core status in marketing performance management system. A new evaluation indicator system and wavelet BP neural network algorithm are presented to evaluate food network marketing performance. First, the evaluation indicator system of food network marketing performance is cons...

Most of the biological processes in living systems involve molecular adsorption and transport at biomembranes. It is highly desired to study the time-resolved transport kinetics through living cell membranes. In this thesis, an experimental means based on a nonlinear optical phenomenon, Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) has been demonstrated to detect the molecular adsorption and transport throu...
