Hydrogen absorption and desorption isotherms have been measured on ballmilled mixtures of LiH+Si powders to evaluate the thermodynamic parameters of these reversible reactions. The phase compositions at the various stages of reaction have been examined by Magic Angle Spinning-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS-NMR) of the Li, H, and Si nuclei and powder x-ray diffraction (XRD). The initial mixture...

in this study, iron oxide nanoparticles (maghemite) were used to remove ni (ii) and cr (vi) from mine’s waste water. first, by using novel single step, maghemite nanoparticles (?-fe2o3) produced at room temperature, without the use of natural solvents and oxides. the average particle size of the maghemite was estimated to be 14 nm, by transition electron microscope (tem(. various factors influe...

Fundamental experimental data for moisture absorption of non-ionic polydisperse surfactants with differing ethylene oxide (EO) content and variable aliphatic portions were measured at relative humidities between 0 and 95% at 25 °C. Remarkable differences in moisture absorption were observed between surfactant classes but also within one series of surfactants differing in either EO content or th...

We tune the thermodynamics of hydrogen absorption in Mg by means of elastic clamping. The loading isotherms measured by hydrogenography show that Mg films covered with Mg-alloy-forming elements, such as Pd and Ni, have hydrogen plateau pressures more than 2 orders of magnitude higher than bulk Mg at the same temperature. An elastic model allows us to interpret the Mg thickness dependence of the...

The thermal stability of 200 nm thick plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited a-C:H and a-C:D layers ranging from soft to hard layers has been studied and compared to that of deposits collected on the Tore Supra tokamak plasma facing components by means of insitu Raman spectroscopy. Linear ramp heating and long term isotherms (from several minutes to 21 days) have been performed and correlatio...

a new category of hybrid organic-inorganic zirconium phosphonate, zr[(o3pch2)2nc6h4co2h].2h2o was synthesized and the applicability of the prepared sorbent as an ion-exchanger for removal of ni2+, cu2+ and zn2+ from aqueous solutions was evaluated. the characterization of the synthesis product was done using tg-dtg, sem, xrd, ft-ir techniques. study of the sorption isotherms and its kinetic par...

The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...

The absorption characteristics of Cd(2+) by 10- to 12-day-old soybean plants (Glycine max cv Williams) were investigated with respect to influence of Cd concentration on adsorption to root surfaces, root absorption, transport kinetics and interaction with the nutrient cations Cu(2+), Fe(2+), Mn(2+), and Zn(2+). The fraction of nonexchangeable Cd bound to roots remained relatively constant at 20...
