Rice husk ash as an adsorbent for methylene blue—effect of ashing temperature

Utilization of one waste material to control pollution caused by another is of high significance in the remediation of environmental problems. Rice husk, an abundantly available agricultural waste, can be used as a low cost adsorbent for dyes and heavy metals in effluent streams. The possible utilization of rice husk ash as an adsorbent for methylene blue dye from aqueous solutions has been investigated. Ash samples from husks of two origins were prepared at different temperatures and their physical, chemical spectroscopic and morphological properties were determined. XRD, FTIR and SEM were some of the techniques adopted for the characterization. The samples were also analyzed for bulk density, pH, nitrogen adsorption properties and lime reactivity. Experiments of methylene blue adsorption on the ash samples were conducted using batch technique and a comparative study was made. Results were analyzed using linear, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The values of separation factor indicate that most of the ash samples do adsorb the dye molecules, but in varying quantities. Calcination at 900^∘C reduces the adsorption capacity of the ash to a great extent. Regression analysis shows that the experimental data fits both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms for certain concentration limits. The adsorbate species are most probably transported from the bulk of the solution into the solid phase through intra-particle diffusion process. Kinetics of adsorption was found to follow pseudo second order rate equation with R ²∼ 0.99. The highest adsorption capacity (Q ₀) achieved is found to be ∼690 mg/g, which is even higher than the values reported for activated carbon from rice husk. The adsorption capacity of the ash samples are in good agreement with their surface area and pore volume.     

全硅MCM-41担载的加氢脱硫催化剂的TPR研究

用TRP技术研究了以全硅MCM-41(Si-MCM-41)和HNO3交换的全硅MCM-41(H-MCM-41)为载体制备的Ni-Mo、Co-Mo和Ni-W加氢脱硫(HDS)催化剂的还原性能，并以0．8(wt)％二苯并噻吩(DBT)的十氢萘溶液为模型化合物，在高压固定床反应器上考察了上述催化剂的加氢脱硫(HDS)反应性能。结果表明，Si-MCM-41经稀HNO3交换后，所担载的Ni-Mo和Ni-W催化剂还原性能、HDS活性和加氢活性有显著变化，但对Co-Mo催化剂影响不大。这说明在Ni-Mo／H-MCM-41和Ni-W／H-MCM-41中可能存在氢溢流现象，DBT的HDS活性与载体表面酸性和氢溢流有关。

A characterization of Chebyshev curves inR n

Given a totally ordered setT containing at leastn+1 elements (say a subset ofR ¹), the graph of the functiona:TR ⁿ is called a Chebyshev curve (inR ⁿ) if the determinant of the matrix (a(t ₁),a(t ₂), ...,a(t _n)) is either positive whenevert ₁<t ₂<...<t _n or negative whenevert ₁<t ₂<...<t _n. For finiteT a characterization of these curves (sequences) has been given by the author.In this paper the result is extended to non-finiteT. The characterization proved here is an improved (reformulated) version of that given by the author for infiniteT.     

A discrepancy theorem concerning polynomials of best approximation inL w p [−1, 1]

Letw be a suitable weight function,B _n,p denote the polynomial of best approximation to a functionf inL _w ^p [–1, 1],v _n be the measure that associates a mass of 1/(n+1) with each of then+1 zeros ofB _n+1,p–B _n,p and be the arcsine measure defined by . We estimate the rate at which the sequencev _n converges to in the weak-^* topology. In particular, our theorem applies to the zeros of monic polynomials of minimalL _w ^p norm.This author gratefully acknowledges partial support from NSA contract #A4235802 during 1992, AFSOR Grant 226113 during 1993 and The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation during both of these years.     

The lower estimate for linear positive operators,I

A method to prove lower estimates for linear operators is introduced. As a result the best lower estimate for certain convolution operators, for the multivariate Bernstein-Durrmeyer operators in part I and the Bernstein polynomial operators in part II (see [10]), are obtained.Communicated by Hubert Berens     

Shape-preserving approximation inL p

We prove a direct theorem for shape preservingL _p -approximation, 0p, in terms of the classical modulus of smoothnessw ₂(f, t _p ¹ ). This theorem may be regarded as an extension toL _p of the well-known pointwise estimates of the Timan type and their shape-preserving variants of R. DeVore, D. Leviatan, and X. M. Yu. It leads to a characterization of monotone and convex functions in Lipschitz classes (and more general Besov spaces) in terms of their approximation by algebraic polynomials.Communicated by Ron DeVore.     

Degree of approximation of analytic functions by “near-best” polynomial approximants

We study the rate of approximation of a functionfA(K) in the interior of the compact setK by polynomials, that are close to best polynomial approximants on the whole setK. Lower and upper estimates of possible improvement of convergence (depending on the geometry ofK) are obtained.Communicated by Vilmos Totik.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for mean convergence of orthogonal expansions for Freud weights

A classic 1970 paper of B. Muckenhoupt established necessary and sufficient conditions for weightedL _p convergence of Hermite series, that is, orthogonal expansions corresponding to the Hermite weight. We generalize these to orthogonal expansions for a class of Freud weightsW ²:=e ^–2Q , by first proving a bound for the difference of the orthonormal polynomials of degreen+1 andn–1 of the weightW ². Our identical necessary and sufficient conditions close a slight gap in Muckenhoupt's conditions for the Hermite weight at least forp>1. Moreover, our necessary conditions apply whenQ(x)=|x|, >1 while our sufficient conditions apply at least for =2,4,6,....Communicated by Vilmos Totik.
