Background & Aims of the Study: Nitrogenous compounds could directly create many problems for human's health and the environment. Thus, removal of nitrogenous compounds is necessary. Among the most important problems, decreasing dissolved oxygen, toxicity for aquatics, eutrophication, converting aerobic medium into anaerobic one and corrosion could be noted. The aim of this stu...

To investigate the effect of hydration on the diffusion of sodium ions through the aluminum-doped zeolite BEA system (Si/Al ) 30), we used the grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method to predict the water absorption into aluminosilicate zeolite structure under various conditions of vapor pressure and temperature, followed by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate how the sodium dif...

cadmium oxide rhombus-shaped nanostructure was synthesized using hydrothermal process followed by heating treatment. clearly, x-ray diffraction pattern demonstrated the formation of cdo crystalline phase. scanning electron microscopy (sem) showed that the obtained rhombus-like structure is composed of nanoparticles with the average size of 29 nm. in addition, we evaluated adsorption of organic ...

The dielectric consCa,rlt E' and dielectric loss E ' of human cortical bone have heen measured for frequencies of 1, 10, 50 and 100 kc and for hydrations ( h ) from 0 t o 65 mg-H,O,'g-bone. The absorption isotherm has also been detcrmined. Curves of E' and E" vs h are found to alter sharply at a particular value of the hydration, I t , . defining the ' critical hydration ' of bone. The quantity...

The ability of sheep wool to remove Pb(II) ions and safranin dye from aqueous solutions through the adsorption process was investigated at room temperature. The metal ions concentration was determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer method. The influence of pH, contact time, amount of adsorbent, temperature and initial metal...

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...

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...
