Removal of cesium from synthetic aqueous solution through adsorption on vermiculite, under batch equilibrium experimental condition at six initial values of pH (3, 4, 6, 9, 11 and 12) and five temperatures (25, 50, 75, 85 and 95 °C) has been investigated. It is necessary to propose a suitable model for a better understanding of the mecha...

Using thermal desorption mass spectrometry, we have shown unambiguously that the adsorption of atomic hydrogen on Si(100)-s2 3 1d leads to hydrogen pairing on silicon dimers at surface temperatures as low as 150 K and coverages as low as 0.2 monolayer. A detailed study of the adsorption kinetics shows a high probability of an abstraction reaction together with a coverage-dependent adsorption pr...

   In the present study, CeO2/Fe2O3 nanocomposite was prepared by co-precipitation method and its application was investigated for arsenic removal from water. Characterization of the nano sized adsorbent particles was carried out using SEM and XRD techniques. Systemic adsorption experiments were performed in batch systems and the optimum conditions were obtained. The effects of p...

Fluoride removal from water is being investigated using a natural adsorbent derived from bark of pinus kesiya. Batch studies were performed to study the effect of adsorbent dose, contact time, initial fluoride concentration and pH on the removal efficiency. The fluoride adsorption varies over wide range of pH and best in between 3 – 8. The rate of adsorption was rapid and maximum removal took p...

We report the adsorption of dextranase on a Mg/Fe-layered double hydroxide (Mg/Fe-LDH). We focused the effects of different buffers, pH, and amino acids. The Mg/Fe-LDH was synthesized, and adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the effects. The maximum adsorption occurred in pH 7.0 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer, and the maximum dextranase adsorp...

Herein we report superior dye-adsorption performance for flower-like nanostructure composed of two dimensional (2D) MoS2 nanosheets by a facile hydrothermal method, more prominent adsorption of cationic dye compared with anodic dye indicates the dye adsorption performance strongly depends on surface charge of MoS2 nanosheets. The adsorption mechanism of dye is analyzed, the kinetic data of dye ...

Abstract: Metal organic framework (MOF) of MIL-101(Cr)-Silica (SiO₂) composites with highly mesoporous and uniform dispersions were synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method followed by the sol-gel technique. Water vapor adsorption experiments were conducted on the MIL-101(Cr)-SiO₂ composites for industrial adsorption chiller applications. The effects of MIL-101(Cr)-SiO₂ mixing ra...

Mechanism of Indigo carmine dye adsorption on palm wood cellulose activated carbon (PWCAC) was studied. The use of low cost ecofriendly adsorbent has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dye from aqueous solution. The study is done by batch adsorption techniques. The quantitative adsorption kinetic and equilibrium parameter for indigo carmine dy...

The addition of three N-terminal histidines to β-lactamase inhibitor protein was shown experimentally to increase its binding potency to an Au(111) surface substantially but the binding mechanism was not resolved. Here, we propose a complete adsorption mechanism for this fusion protein by means of a multi-scale simulation approach and free energy calculations. We find that adsorption is a three...
