Aqueous-phase diffusion in geologic media is very important in agricultural production, contaminant transport and remediation, risk assessment, and waste disposal. This review was undertaken to investigate (1) the components of effective diffusion coefficients, (2) diffusion as a function of water content and diffusion models, as well as the effects of temperature, compactness, and sorption on ...

Particle-based reaction-diffusion algorithms facilitate the modeling of the diffusional motion of individual molecules and the reactions between them in cellular environments. A physically realistic model, depending on the system at hand and the questions asked, would require different levels of modeling detail such as particle diffusion, geometrical confinement, particle volume exclusion or pa...

In the treatment of industrial polluted sites and construction landfill sites, anti-pollution barriers are usually used to prevent diffusion pollutants. this paper, adsorption characteristics Zn ions by rock-bentonite barrier were observed means static equilibrium dynamic tests. The experimental results showed that stone chips—bentonite was close nonlinear Freundlich Langmuir models. When conce...

Submitted for the MAR12 Meeting of The American Physical Society Diffusion in Dense Inhomogeneous Colloid Suspensions in Narrow Channels BINHUA LIN, EMILY WONDER, STUART A. RICE, Univ. of Chicago — We report the results of a study of single particle diffusion in dense colloid fluids confined in a ribbon channel geometry that is intermediate between quasi-one-dimensional (q1D) and quasi-two-dime...

In this study, we prepared 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) functionalized sodium alginate (SA) porous membrane adsorbent (APTEOS/SA) and tested its adsorption performance for removing of Cr(III) ions. The physico-chemical properties of the pristine and Cr(III) ions loaded APTEOS/SA were investigated by FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TG, AFM, and contact angle goniometer methods. To investigate the adso...

quantum dots of cds with hexagonal phase were prepared at relatively low temperature (60 oc) and short time by micro-emulsion (o/w) under ultrasound. this study was focused on the particle size distribution and the growth kinetics. the particle size distribution obtained from the optical absorption edge. it was relatively symmetrical with sonication time. in addition, an agreement was observed ...

The applications of supported metal catalysts vary widely, from selective hydrogenation in the fine chemicals industry to the control of vehicle emissions. Yet many basic questions about the structure, activity, and durability of these catalysts remain unanswered. For example, there is still much uncertainty about the mechanism of metal particle growth, or sintering, which is a major cause of c...

Diffusion coefficient measurements are important for many biological and material investigations, such as studies of particle dynamics and kinetics, and size determinations. Among current measurement methods, single particle tracking (SPT) offers the unique ability to simultaneously obtain location and diffusion information about a molecule while using only femtomoles of sample. However, the te...

Optical microscopy and multi-particle tracking are used to investigate the cross-correlated diffusion of quasi two-dimensional colloidal particles near an oil-water interface. The behaviors of the correlated diffusion along longitudinal and transverse direction are asymmetric. It is shown that the characteristic length for longitudinal and transverse correlated diffusion are particle diameter d...
