Herein we report superior dye-adsorption performance for flower-like nanostructure composed of two dimensional (2D) MoS2 nanosheets by a facile hydrothermal method, more prominent adsorption of cationic dye compared with anodic dye indicates the dye adsorption performance strongly depends on surface charge of MoS2 nanosheets. The adsorption mechanism of dye is analyzed, the kinetic data of dye ...

We demonstrate a model for determining the adsorptive and catalytic properties of strained metal surfaces based on linear elastic theory, using first-principles calculations of CO adsorption on Au and K surfaces and CO dissociation on Ru surface. The model involves a single calculation of the adsorption-induced surface stress on the unstrained metal surface, which determines quantitatively how ...

unmodified zeolites show little affinity for anions due to the fact that their surfaces are negatively charged. however modification of zeolites with amines turns their negative surface charge to positive and creating higher adsorption capacity for anions. in this study, polyaniline-clinoptilolite composite was prepared by polymerization of anilinium on the surface of zeolite. the composite was...

The adsorption and desorption properties of SQD-85 resin for Cu(II) had been investigated. A series of experiments were conducted in a batch system to assess the effect of the system variables, i.e. initial pH, contact time and temperature. The results show that the optimal pH for the adsorption was 5.99 in the HAc-NaAc system, and the maximum adsorption capacity was estimated to 324 mg/g a...

A model of “hot”-dimer deposition in one dimension, introduced by Pereyra and Albano, is modified to have an unbounded dissociation range. The resulting dynamical equations are solved exactly. A related k-mer dissociation model is also introduced and its solution obtained as a quadrature. PACS numbers: 68.10.Jy and 82.65.-i Recent experimental studies [1] reported deposition processes in which ...

Nickel and cadmium usually enter the environment and water resources through wastewater, released by various industries, and may have adverse effects. The current study employs α–Fe2O3 nanoparticles of 20-40 nm in order to remove nickel and cadmium from the wastewater of Saba Battery Company. Also, it investigates the influence of effective parameters on adsorption process, including pH, contac...

A new type of thiourea cross-linked chitosan with Fe(III) as template (TCCTS template) was synthesized. The adsorption of Fe(II) and Fe(III) on this TCCTS template was studied. The factors affecting adsorption such as pH and contact time were considered. The results showed that the optimum pH value for adsorption was pH = 5.0 and the adsorption equilibrium time was about 60 min. The adsorption ...

The objective of this work was to compare the effectiveness of four commercially available granular activated carbons (GACs); coconut (CGAC), wood (WGAC), lignite (LGAC) and bituminous (BGAC) for the removal of dichloromethane (DCM) from aqueous solution by batch process. Various parameters such as thermodynamics, kinetics, pH, concentration of adsorbate, dosages of adsorbent and competitive io...

One of the limiting factors for the production of bio-ethanol from agricultural waste is its cost of recovery after fermentation. Adsorption has been proposed for this separation and an adsorbent screening study has been done previously (Jones et al., 2006). In this study, ethanol adsorption experiments were performed with selected activated carbon adsorbents in an adsorption packed column. A m...
