The competitive adsorption of lung surfactant (LS) and albumin at the air-liquid interface and the ability of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to mediate LS adsorption are analyzed using pressure-area isotherms and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction (GIXD). The addition of albumin drastically reduces the amount of LS on the interface and slightly increases the LS lattice spacing. The addition of PEG ...

Madrid, L. and De Arambarri, P., 1978. Adsorption isotherms and hysteresis of proton adsorption by goethite. Geoderma, 21: 199-208. The adsorption of H+ions by goethite is only partially reversible and the adsorption process is faster than desorption. The adsorptian isotherm shows two inflexion points at pH y,alues 7.5 and 9.5, which can be attributed to the existence of two ar more types of OH...

By combining experimental adsorption isotherms, microcalorimetric data, infrared spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations the adsorption behaviour of the CPO-27/MOF-74 series (Ni, Co, Mg, Cu, and Zn) in the desulfurization of fuels is evaluated. The results show a clear influence of the metal ion on the adsorption capacity and affinity for S-heterocyclic compounds, with CPO-27(Ni) being t...

isotherm equation is one of the important scientific bases for adsorbent selection. there are different isotherms that do not account for an adsorbate, different chemisorption geometries on the nanoporous surface. it is interesting to introduce a general isotherm, which considers different chemisorption geometries of an adsorbate on nanoporous surfaces. in this study, an isotherm for non-dissoci...

We have developed a cryogenic pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system to deposit lithium films onto a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at 4 K. Adsorption isotherms of 4He on lithium were measured in the temperature range between 1.42 K and 2.5 K. The isotherms are qualitatively different from isotherms on strong substrates such as gold and weak substrates such as cesium. There is no evidence of t...

Adsorption on activated carbon is one of the most reliable and efficient technologies for the remediation of water polluted by heavy metals. In groundwater remediation, it actually found practical application in both pump-and-treat systems and permeable adsorbing barriers. One of the most significant limits to the practical adsorption of heavy metals in water streams is the absence of experimen...

Thermally treated egg shell materials were prepared at different temperatures. The samples were investigated by means of FT-IR and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption behaviour of malathion on egg shell and its thermally treated samples was studied using batch method and gave uptake capacities up to 0.964 mmol/g. Adsorption kinetics as well as the adsorption isotherms were discusse...

Treatment of dyes from wastewater is obligatory in order to avoid water pollution. Batch adsoprtion studies were carried out to evaluate the potentiality of ba-gases. Various parameters such as initial dye concentration, pH as well as temperature of the system were studied. The adsorption was found to fallow first order kinetics and intraparticle difussion is the date controlling step. The adso...
