Efficient processing, handling, and storage of corn stover, a major crop‐based biomass, require an understanding of the moisture sorption thermodynamic properties of its fractions. Moisture sorption thermodynamic properties of the major corn stover fractions such as leaf, stalk skin, and stalk pith were determined, utilizing the static gravimetric sorption isotherms data in the temperature rang...

TiO2 nanotubes attract much attention because of their high photoelectron-chemical and photocatalytic efficiency. But their large band gap leads to a low absorption of the solar light and limits the practical application. How to obtain TiO2 nanotubes without any dopant and possessing visible light response is a big challenge nowadays. Orthorhombic titanic acid nanotubes (TAN) are a special prec...

The objective of this study was to explore the influence of pyrolysis temperature on the physicochemical properties of biochar synthesized from durian wood (Durio zibethinus) sawdust. Surface morphological features, including the porosity and BET surface area of biochars, provide appropriate dimensions for growing clusters of microorganisms with excellent water retention capacity in soil. Oxyge...

Copper, zinc, and cerium oxide adsorbents supported on alumina were used to remove silane gas (SiH4). The adsorbents were prepared using a coprecipitation method and characterized by the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, X-ray powder diffractometer, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET). The silane removal efficiency and adsorption capacity of the adsorbents were investigated in t...

Five nanoporous carbons (NPCs) were prepared by polymerizing and then carbonizing carbon precursor of furfuryl alcohol accommodated in a porous metal–organic framework (MOF-5, [Zn4O(bdc)3], bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) template. The Brunauer–Emmett– Teller (BET) surface areas for five NPC samples obtained by carbonizing at the temperatures from 530 to 1000 C fall into the range from 1140 to ...

Specific surface area is an important property of porous materials and a crucial index in multiple disciplines, which mainly measured using nitrogen isotherms the Brunauer–Emmett-Teller (BET) equation. The BET remarkably higher than geometric area, defined as crystal geometry structure. However, many studies directly use area. We proposed simple, general, accurate method that only needs adsorpt...

In this study, Eu-doped CdSe nanoparticles with variable Eu3+ content were synthesized by a simple sonochemical method. Eu3+ substitution into the structure of CdSe resulted in a material with new physical properties, composition and morphology. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscop...

aqueous solutions. Clay and zeolite-clay-based monoliths (40 holes in 18 mm diameter) were obtained by extruding the material with water. This research aimed to investigate compare capacities kinetics of two adsorbents, zeolite-clay, clay-based monoliths, identify most effective adsorbent adsorbing mercury(II) ions. The ZCBM CBM crystal structures characterized using a scanning electron microsc...

In the field of adsorptive water remediation, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) equation is often used to describe sigmoid type II isotherm data. A standard a composite curve that comprises I and III at low high concentrations, respectively. The BET uses Langmuir-like function unique represent curve. However, ability this mathematical combination fit atypical isotherms somewhat limited. has been mod...

LTA Zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. The as-synthesized LTA zeolite particles were characterized by powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy, </e...
