Abstract The wood-water interactions of modified beech wood ( Fagus sylvatica L.) were studied. Specimens thermally at 180 (TM 1 ), 200 2 ) and 220 °C 3 acetylated (Acet), melamine formaldehyde (MF) resin (Mel) modified. Afterwards, the water vapour characteristics, i.e. sorption isotherms, equilibrium moisture content (EMC), dimensional stability specimens conditioned 30, 65 90% RH liquid abso...

Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1005. 74 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-554-6020-8 The dissociative and non-dissociative hydrogen uptake in carbon nanostructures and metallic films were investigated by measurements and anal...

In this article, the sorption of vapors various alcohols by cellulose samples has been studied. Isotherms all studied have a sigmoid shape combining multilayer surface adsorption and absorption with capillary condensation at final stage. To separate from condensation, thermodynamic equation was used describing only process. It found that methanol vapor performed via alcohol molecules accessible...

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 study was deter...

We have developed a cryogenic pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system to deposit lithium films onto a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at 4 K. Adsorption isotherms of 4He on lithium were measured in the temperature range between 1.42 K and 2.5 K. The isotherms are qualitatively different from isotherms on strong substrates such as gold and weak substrates such as cesium. There is no evidence of t...

The effect of temperature on the equilibrium sorption of Pb 2+ from aqueous solution onto a low-cost electric furnace slag was investigated. In this paper, two-parameter isotherm models namely the Langmuir and the Freundlich and three-parameter isotherm model namely Redlich–Peterson were applied to describe the isotherms and to calculate their constants. The best estimation of the parameters of...

Carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms have been computed for the Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) Fe2(dobdc), where dobdc4− = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate. A force field derived from quantummechanical calculations has been used to model adsorption isotherms within a MOF based on a parameterization scheme. Restricted Open-shell Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (ROMP2) calculati...

As part of our efforts to model enhanced coalbed methane recovery and CO2 sequestration in coalbeds, we have investigated the pure adsorption isotherm behavior of five dry coals namely, Illinois #6, Wyodak sub-bituminous, Pocahontas, Beulah Zap, and Upper Freeport coal. Using a volumetric technique, isotherms of pure methane, nitrogen, CO2 and ethane were measured at a temperature of 328.15 K (...

The hydrogenation characterizations of the hydrogen storage alloy MmNi4.22Co0.48Mn0.15Al0.15 (Mm= mischmetal), and the effect of hydrogenation/dehydrogenation (H/D) cycling on its structural and morphological properties are investigated. The results indicate that after several H/D cycles the alloy was pulverized into fine particles, but it kept its hexagonal CaCu5-type structure. The pressure-c...
