A new method has been used to obtain pore size characteristics of MCM-41 catalyst supports and vanadiumsubstituted MCM-41 catalysts. The approach is based on the nonlocal density functional theory (NLDFT) model for nitrogen and argon adsorption in MCM-41, proposed recently. Samples with pore sizes varying from ca. 25 to 37 Å were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. Two synthesis procedures empl...

In chromatographic separations involving elutes with large differences in the molecular size, the adsorption saturation capacities of the elutes may differ because of the differences in the degree of size exclusion. With uneven saturation capacities, isotherm crossovers may occur, which often results in selectivity reversal. In this work, a new multicomponent isotherm has been developed for thi...

this study was designed to evaluate the effect of argon laser irradiation on development and progress of enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets.fifty caries-free, intact human premolars were randomly assigned to one of the following five equal groups: groups 1 (control) and 2: the brackets were bonded using conventional halogen light for 40s and argon laser for 10s, respectively. t...

A favorable isotherm open to the right to some extent is better than a linear isotherm to give shorter column height in pressure swing adsorption(PSA). We face to a problem how favorable isotherm is actually favorable in PSA operation. The purpose of this paper is to propose how to construct such a custom made isotherm which optimizes the PSA processes. The PSA mod...

We report results of nitrogen and argon adsorption experiments performed at 77.4 and 87.3 K on novel micro/mesoporous silica materials with morphologically different networks of mesopores embedded into microporous matrixes: SE3030 silica with worm-like cylindrical channels of mode diameter of approximately 95 angstroms, KLE silica with cage-like spheroidal pores of ca. 140 angstroms, KLE/IL sil...

Potassium-argon analysis by stqwise dissolution provides a way to measure in detail the distribution of argon isotopes and potassium in rock salt. The method can be used for salt that contains only trace amounts of potassium, because the potassium and argon in detrital silicates within the salt are not released during the dissolution. Water may be used as the solvent when relatively large a...

Comparison analysis of linear least-square method and non-linear method of three widely used isotherms (Langmuir, Freundlich, and Redlich-Peterson) were examined to experiment with Remazol Red (C.I. 18221) onto pistachio nut shells at a solution temperature of 293 K. All three isotherm equations showed a better fit to the experimental equilibrium data. The results show that the Langmuir model s...

The sorption isotherm is important information for evaluating the ability of an adsorption system to treat the industrial waste water. In this study, eleven datasets from literatures were selected and three two-parameter and threeparameter equations were used to evaluate adsorption systems. Quantitative criteria included six error functions, and the quantitative criterion was residual plots. Is...
