Abstract In this work, kaolinite clay was modified with magnetic magnetite nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 @MC) by co-precipitation ferrous and ferric ions as iron precursors to ameliorate its textural adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) dye uptake from synthetic wastewater at low concentrations. The adsorbents were characterized using XRD, BET surface area analysis, VSM, SEM HRTEM. after chemi...

The Flory–Huggins (FH) isotherm first appeared in the literature of water contaminant adsorption mid-2000s. It has come into limelight and received considerable attention recent years, large part due to regular coverage review articles. Here, we point out that a linear form FH is incompatible with original nonlinear version. We show conclusively was destroyed beyond recognition by linearization...

This article provides an analysis on published models used to calculate phase separation in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) based Flory-Huggins (FH) theory, terms of problem formulation and mathematical solving algorithm. An integrated algorithm is presented, showing different approaches using the FH theory. The involves estimation interchange energy, calculation compositions. Based experiment...

Effectiveness of furfural as an organic inhibitor in 5 percent hydrochloric acid which is used in acid pickling of steel was evaluated. Lungmuir, Frumkin and Flory-Huggins isotherms [1, 2] were used to determine the parameters of effective adsorption, free energy and entropy of adsorption. Furfural indicated an inhibition less than 17 percent in concentrations of 0.001 mole per liter for a dura...

By use of a combined experimental and theoretical approach, a model poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) brush system, prepared by spreading a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PEO-PnBA) amphiphilic diblock copolymer onto an air-water interface, was investigated. The polymer segment density profiles of the PEO brush in the direction normal to the air-water interface under various grafting dens...

Almost three-quarters of a century have elapsed since the Nobel Prize–winning discovery by Huggins and Hodges of the androgen dependence of prostate cancer, and blockade of the androgen receptor (AR)-signaling pathway remains a cornerstone of treatment.[1] As reviewed by Dr. Bastos and his colleagues in this issue of ONCOLOGY, it is now well established that castration-resistant disease can be ...

Despite the discovery over 60 years ago by Huggins and Hodges that prostate cancers respond to androgen deprivation therapy, hormone-refractory prostate cancer remains a major clinical challenge. There is now mounting evidence that solid tumours originate from undifferentiated stem cell-like cells coexisting within a heterogeneous tumour mass that drive tumour formation, maintain tumour homeost...
