The adsorption of malachite green from aqueous solution using a local low cost adsorbent, acid activated Ntezi clay, was investigated. The low cost adsorbent was activated with different concentrations of sulphuric acid and the physicochemical properties of the adsorbent were determined and the structural properties were analyzed using XRF and XRD. The adsorption process was studied as a functi...

We present a detailed description of the structural characteristics MICCAI 2021 Diffusion Simulated Connectivity (DiSCo) Challenge synthetic dataset. The DiSCo dataset are one kind numerical phantoms for simulation diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) via Monte-Carlo diffusion simulations. microscopic and macroscopic complexity substrates allows evaluation processing pipelines estimation quantitati...

This paper presents the feasibility of removal of MB dye from aqueous solution using activated carbon prepared from Usoro fiber (Adenia lobata). FTIR analysis revealed that many functional groups were present on the surface of the adsorbent. The adsorption Kinetics was analyzed by pseudo first order, pseudo second order and intra particle diffusion kinetics models. Results showed that MB adsorp...

The adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of ethanol-water systems on starch-based adsorbents prepared from cassava were undertaken. These include modified cassava starch (MS), cassava starch (CS), cassava pellet (CP), and Cassava shred (AB). The adsorption equilibrium data were best represented by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The adsorption kinetics was found to follow second order kinetics...

Removal of Pb 2+ from aqueous solutions using coconut shell carbons produced by KOH activation is performed in this paper. Morphology and pore structure characteristic of coconut shell carbons are analyzed by SEM and nitrogen adsorption techniques. Effects of adsorbent concentration, agitation time and initial ion concentration on the adsorption behavior are investigated, and adsorption isother...

The Serbian natural zeolite is moderately effective in removing the zinc(II) ions from aqueous solutions. At 298 K the sorption capacity varies from 13 to 26% for the initial Zn(II) solution concentration of 100 and 600 mg Zndm(-3), respectively. The sorption isotherm at 298-338 K is best represented by the Langmuir model and the sorption kinetics by the pseudo-second-order model. The sorption ...

Regulation of biomolecular transport in cells involves intra-protein steps like gating and passage through channels, but these steps are preceded by extra-protein steps, namely, diffusive approach and admittance of solutes. The extra-protein steps develop over a 10-100 nm length scale typically in a highly particular environment, characterized through the protein's geometry, surrounding electro...

L = 1 2∇ · a∇ + b · ∇ on D ⊆ R and whose spatially dependent branching term is of the form β x z − α x z2, x∈D where β satisfies a very general condition and α > 0. In the case that α and β are bounded from above, we show that the measurevalued process can also be obtained as a limit of approximating branching particle systems. We give criteria for extinction/survival, recurrence/transience of ...

A two-dimensional (2D) single particle model for the copolymerization of propylene-ethylene with heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst is developed. The model accounts for the effects of the initial shape of the catalyst and carck/ pore patterns on the copolymer composition, polymerization rate and the average molecular weight properties. The spherical and oblate ellipsoidal shapes of catalyst p...
