Aims. Solid O2 has been proposed as a possible reservoir for molecular oxygen in dense clouds through freeze-out processes. The aim of this work is to characterize quantitatively the physical processes that are involved in the desorption kinetics of CO–O2 ices by interpreting laboratory temperature programmed desorption (TPD) data. This information is used to simulate the behavior of CO–O2 ices...

In recent years, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted wide attention for their enormous hydrogen storage potential, fast absorption kinetics, and a range of composition selectivity, the fact that with body-centered cubic (BCC) structure are considered to possess large capacity. Herein, three V30Nb10(TixCr1–x)60 HEAs different Ti contents (Ti25, Ti30, Ti35) forming BCC structures were desig...

Kinetics of the deposition process of k -mers in the presence of desorption or/and diffusional relaxation of particles is studied by Monte Carlo method on a one-dimensional lattice. For reversible deposition of k-mers, we find that after the initial "jamming," a stretched exponential growth of the coverage theta(t) toward the steady-state value theta(eq) occurs, i.e., theta(eq)-theta(t) is prop...

In this study, we prepared 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) functionalized sodium alginate (SA) porous membrane adsorbent (APTEOS/SA) and tested its adsorption performance for removing of Cr(III) ions. The physico-chemical properties of the pristine and Cr(III) ions loaded APTEOS/SA were investigated by FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TG, AFM, and contact angle goniometer methods. To investigate the adso...

The adsorption of Xe into carbon single walled nanotubes with both closed and open ends has been investigated using temperature programmed desorption and other surface analytical tools. It has been found that opening the ends of the nanotube by chemical cutting increases both the kinetic rate and the saturation capacity of the nanotubes for Xe at 95 K. Further enhancement in Xe adsorption kinet...

The adsorption, desorption, and equilibrium monomer exchange processes of sodium dodecanoate at the fluorite(CaF 2)-water interface have been studied. For the first time, we use in situ vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) to gain insights into the mechanism and kinetics of monolayer self-assembly at the mineral-water interface. By exploiting the nonlinear optical response of the adsor...

Column experiments were conducted to investigate U(VI) desorption and sorption kinetics in a sand-textured, U(VI)-contaminated (22.7 micromol kg(-1)) capillary fringe sediment from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Hanford site. Saturated column experiments were performed under mildly alkaline conditions representative of the Hanford site where uranyl-carbonate and calcium-uranyl-carbonate co...
