In this research, adsorption of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a model of sulfur containing material has been studied by Pb exchanged Y-zeolite under different experimental conditions. The adsorption was kinetically fast and high adsorption capacity was obtained. The equilibrium adsorption data were analyzed using Langmuir and Freunlich isotherm models. The corresponding parameters and correlation c...

A growing realization of the importance of stochasticity in cell and molecular processes has stimulated the need for statistical models that incorporate intrinsic (and extrinsic) variability. In this chapter we consider stochastic kinetic models of reaction networks leading to a Markov jump process representation of a system of interest. Traditionally, the stochastic model is characterized by a...

We suggest kinetic models of dissipation for an ensemble of interacting oriented particles, for example, moving magnetized particles. This is achieved by introducing a double bracket dissipation in kinetic equations using an oriented Poisson bracket, and employing the moment method to derive continuum equations for magnetization and density evolution. We show how our continuum equations general...

We introduce and discuss certain kinetic models of (continuous) opinion formation involving both exchange of opinion between individual agents and diffusion of information. We show conditions which ensure that the kinetic model reaches non trivial stationary states in case of lack of diffusion in correspondence of some opinion point. Analytical results are then obtained by considering a suitabl...

Application of agriculture residue especially in biochar form seems to be effective in the removal of contaminants such as nitrate pollution. The effectiveness of biochar produced from palm leaf residues (pyrolyzed at 600 ˚C) in the removal of nitrate from aqueous solution was studied at different pH. The pH value at the point of zero charges (pHpzc) and surface functional groups...

sorption reactions in many heterogeneous systems are important. adsorption is a time dependent process and knowing the adsorption rate is essential for designing, evaluating and recovering the adsorbents. at the present study, an ammonium adsorption kinetic experiment by some soils series of golestan provice, which is varying in mineralogical and textural properties was conducted using solution...

background: investigating the performance of naturally operated treatment plants may be due to the fact that they cannot be operated as desired, or that they should be modified to achieve good performance e.g. for nutrients removal. the advantage of kinetic coefficient determination is that the model can be adjusted to fit data and then used for analyzing alternatives to improve the process. th...

pollution of water resources by various pollutants is nowadays a global environmental issue. among the different type of water pollutants, dye represents a major polluting group. in this study, azolla filiculides roots have been used for adsorption of malachite green (mg), a cationic dyed from aqueous solution. in this study, effects of operating parameters such as initial concentration of dye ...

introduction: discharging of industrial colored wastewaters especially into aqueous environments can cause adverse effects on aquatic life due to their toxic natures. in this study, montmorillonite modified by hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (hdtma-mt) was used for the adsorption of methylene blue (mb). materials and methods: the influence of surfactant loading rate, contact time, ph, adsor...

The remarkably successful quantitative description of the action potential introduced by Hodgkin and Huxley (1952) is still widely used over 40 years since its introduction. The classical Hodgkin-Huxley description was not only accurate, it was also readily extensible to many other voltage-dependent currents. More recent single channel recording techniques (Sakmann and Neher, 1995) have been us...
