The equilibrium moisture content of red beetroot has been studied and the corresponding sorption- desorption curves have obtained at temperature 20°C. strain measurement method used to establish sorption curves. Analytical dependence describing also derived. Values contents for temperatures higher than 20°C by Pass Slepchenko’s method. results are presented in graphical table form.

Equilibrium Moisture sorption isotherms are very important in drying and storage analysis. Experimental moisture equilibrium data (adsorption desorption) of Aspirin were determined using the static method saturated salt solutions that by exposing material to different conditions temperatures water activities. Three (25, 30, 40Cº) activities range (6.3- 83.6%) used. The results showed content in...

An extension of the Lagrange{Galerkin approach is developed for advection-dominated problems with nonlinear adsorption, either being in equilibrium or in non{equilibrium, possibly with isotherms of the Freundlich type. The scheme should be feasable also for the hyperbolic limit case. The basic problems to deal with are the possibility of non{unique characteristics due to the nonlinear isotherms...

The knowledge of sorption processes of nonelectrolytes in solution by solid adsorbents implies the study of kinetics, equilibrium, and thermodynamic functions. However, quite frequently the equilibrium isotherms are studied by comparing them with those corresponding to the Giles et al. classification (1); these isotherms are also analyzed by fitting them to equations based on thermodynamic or k...

The adsorption behaviour of Methyl violet and Auramine yellow from aqueous solution onto Stishovite clay was investigated as a function of parameters such as initial dye concentration, contact time, p and temperature. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms. Adsorption followed pseudo-second order model. The experimental data fitted well ...

We discuss the thermodynamics of physical adsorption of gases in porous solids. The measurement of the amount of gas adsorbed in a solid requires specialized volumetric and gravimetric techniques based upon the concept of the surface excess. Excess adsorption isotherms provide thermodynamic information about the gas-solid system but are difficult to interpret at high pressure because of peculia...

abstract herbicides are the main sources of soil and water pollution in paddy fields. herbicides mobility to the surface and ground water is a major concern for human health and the environment. it is, therefore, necessary to investigate their fate and their interactions in natural ecosystems. to meet this purpose, field experiments were conducted to measure kinetic of thiobencarb dissipation i...

This study investigates the capacity of granular activated carbon (GAC) for the storage of methane through the equilibrium adsorption. An experimental apparatus consist of a dual adsorption vessel was set up for the measurement of equilibrium adsorption of methane on GAC using volumetric technique (pressure decay). Experimental isotherms of methane adsorption were determined by the measurement ...
