Adsorption equilibrium and kinetics of dibenzothiophene from n-octane on bamboo charcoal

The adsorption of the model sulfur compound dibenzothiophene (DBT) from n-octane solution on to bamboo charcoal (BC) was investigated. The equilibrium and kinetics of DBT adsorption on BC were examined. Adsorption isotherm of DBT on BC was determined and correlated with two well-known isotherm equations (Langmuir and Freundlich). The equilibrium data for DBT adsorption fitted the Freundlich model well. Two simplified kinetic models including pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order equations were selected to follow the adsorption processes. The adsorption of DBT on BC can be best described by a pseudo second-order equation. The parameters of this best-fit kinetic model were calculated and discussed.     

水分子在Yn (n=2-8)团簇表面的分子吸附与解离吸附

运用密度泛函理论,对H2O在Yn (n=2-8) 团簇表面的分子吸附与解离吸附两种模式进行了结构优化,电子性质分析。结果表明：分子吸附中H2O倾向于O端吸附于Y-Y原子桥位,而解离吸附中H2O解离的H, O原子倾向于吸附于Yn团簇的面位。两种吸附模式都导致了（解离吸附n=4, 5除外）主团簇Y原子平均键长增大。分子吸附和解离吸附的吸附强度和化学活性都随尺寸增加而增大。解离吸附中体系的稳定性明显高于分子吸附,且与体系的电子壳层效应密切相关。

Comparison of Activated Carbon,Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes,and Cadmium Hydroxide Nanowire Loaded on Activated Carbon as Adsorbents for Kinetic and Equilibrium Study of Removal of Safranine O

Activated carbon (AC), multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT), and cadmium hydroxide nanowire loaded on activated carbon (Cd(OH)₂-NW-AC) have been used for the removal of safranine O (SO) from wastewater. The effects of various parameters including pH, temperature, concentration of the dye, amount of adsorbents, and contact time on the SO adsorption efficiency for all adsorbents has been investigated. Graphical correlation of fitting experimental data to various adsorption isotherm models like those of Langmuir, Freundlich, Tempkin, and Dubinin–Radushkevich for all adsorbents have been calculated. It was found that safranine O adsorption on all adsorbents was endothermic and feasible in nature. Fitting the experimental data to different kinetic models suggests that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with involvement of the particle diffusion mechanism.     

Adsorption behavior of protein onto siloxane microspheres

The siloxane microspheres with core-shell structure (PMMA/PMPS) (MMA, methyl methacrylate; MPS, 3-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane) have been prepared by dispersion polymerization as described in our previous work. In this paper, the developed poly(MMA-MPS) microspheres, as a carrier, are used to investigate the adsorption behavior of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on them. The Langmuir and Freundlich models have been applied to describe the adsorption behavior. The experimental results indicated that the presence of PMPS evidently increases the adsorption rate and the amount of protein, and it also influences the interaction of BSA molecules. The adsorption of BSA on the poly(MMA-MPS) microspheres seems to be sensitive to pH and ionic strength. The fittings curves from Langmuir and Freundlich models showed that the adsorption was actually more complicated than ideal situation because one or more interactions were involved in the process. For understanding the electronic contribution, the Zeta potential was used to measure the reactive system before and after protein adsorption.

Xe and Kr adsorption on the Si(111) 7 × 7 surface

A study of adsorption of Xe and Kr on the Si(111) 7 × 7 surface is presented. Low energy electron diffraction indicates the substrate structure is not appreciably modified by the adsorption. The data consist primarily of isobars, i.e. the amount adsorbed as a function of temperature at fixed pressure. The stepwise adsorption of each of the first several adatoms per surface unit mesh is resolved. This indicates a sequence of distinguishable adsorption sites in the mesh each of which can be occupied by a single atom. There are appreciable differences in the measured binding energies between the various sites. Pairwise sums of 6–12 potentials have been used to estimate binding energies expected for sites presented by proposed structural models of the surface. The observed sequence of sites seems to exclude buckled models and those models which involve only arrays of identical entities. No presently published model is consistent with these data in detail. The triangular island models with some modifications might present sufficiently large binding energies and rich sequences of sites. Whatever the actual structure, it must be more complex than those which have usually been considered.     

On the structure of CO adlayers on Cu(100) and Cu(111)

Alternative models for the high coverage compressed overlayers of CO on copper (100) and (111) are proposed in which the LEED patterns previously attributed to out-of-registry, uniformly compressed structures are re-interpreted in terms of adsorption on linear and bridged sites. The models provide a simpler explanation for the small influence of compression on the frequency of the infrared adsorption bond near 2000 cm^?1 compared with the large change of surface potential.     

Diffusive growth of a single droplet with three different boundary conditions

We study a single, motionless three-dimensional droplet growing by adsorption of diffusing monomers on a 2D substrate. The diffusing monomers are adsorbed at the aggregate perimeter of the droplet with different boundary conditions. Models with both an adsorption boundary condition and a radiation boundary condition, as well as a phenomenological model, are considered and solved in a quasistatic approximation. The latter two models allow particle detachment. In the short time limit, the droplet radius grows as a power of the time with exponents of 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 for the models with adsorption, radiation and phenomenological boundary conditions, respectively. In the long time limit a universal growth rate as is observed for the radius of the droplet for all models independent of the boundary conditions. This asymptotic behaviour was obtained by Krapivsky [#!krapquasi!#] where a similarity variable approach was used to treat the growth of a droplet with an adsorption boundary condition based on a quasistatic approximation. Another boundary condition with a constant flux of monomers at the aggregate perimeter is also examined. The results exhibit a power law growth rate with an exponent of 1/3 for all times.

Cluster and periodic DFT calculations of adsorption and activation of CO2 on the Cu(hkl) surfaces

The adsorption behavior and thermal activation of carbon dioxide on the Cu(1 1 1), Cu(1 0 0), and Cu(1 1 0) surfaces have been investigated by means of density functional theory calculations and cluster models and periodic slabs. According to the cluster models, the optimized results indicate that the basis set of C and O atoms has a distinct effect on the adsorption energy, but an indistinct one on the equilibrium geometry. For the CO₂/Cu(hkl) adsorption systems studied here, the final structure of adsorbed CO₂ is near linear and the preferred modes for the adsorption of CO₂ onto the Cu(1 1 1), Cu(1 0 0), and Cu(1 1 0) surfaces are the side-on adsorption at the cross bridge site with an adsorption energy of 13.06 kJ/mol, the side-on adsorption at the short bridge site (13.54 kJ/mol), and the end-on adsorption on the on-top site with C–O bonds located along the short bridge site (26.01 kJ/mol), respectively. However, the calculated adsorption energies from periodic slabs are lower as compared to the experimental data as well as the cluster model data, indicating that the periodic slab approach of generalized gradient approximation in the density function theory may be not suitable to obtain quantitative information on the interaction of CO₂ with Cu(hkl) surfaces.     

第一性原理研究O2和H2O在ZnO (101 ̅0)表面上的吸附行为

运用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的第一性原理方法研究了O2和H2O单分子在ZnO (101 ̅0)表面上的吸附行为。吸附位点主要考虑了表面的Zn顶位和Zn桥位,同时也考虑了其它可能的吸附行为。对于O2在ZnO (101 ̅0)表面上的吸附设计了9个模型,H2O在ZnO (101 ̅0)表面上的吸附设计了12个模型。通过形成能计算发现,O2在表面上的吸附为正值,H2O的吸附为负值。O2和H2O单分子在表面上发生分子吸附,未见解离形态。对于O2吸附最稳定的结构是O2分子与表面相邻的Zn原子形成了Znslab1-Oads1-Oads2-Znslab2桥连键。其它较为稳定的结构是Oads1原子迁移到下一个表面重复晶胞的O原子位置附近,在表面上形成了Znslab1-Oads1键,同时Oads2原子扩散至表面沟渠上方。对于H2O吸附,不论以何种方式吸附结构都比较稳定。其中最稳定的构型是Oads迁移到下一个表面重复晶胞的O原子位置附近,形成了Znslab1-Oads键以及Oslab3-H氢键。另外较稳定的构型是Oads迁移到ZnO (101 ̅0)表面台阶上方,形成了Znslab1-Oads键以及Oslab1-H氢键。

Study on the adsorption behavior of γ-GPS on low carbon steel surfaces using RA-IR, EIS and AFM

The adsorption behavior of γ-GPS on low carbon steel surfaces was systematically investigated by reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RA-IR), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and atomic force microscopic (AFM), focusing on the changes in γ-GPS chains alignment during the adsorption process and the influence of assembly time on the chemical structures, three-dimension morphology and corrosion resisting property of γ-GPS films. The results indicated that the adsorption of γ-GPS exhibited an oscillatory phenomenon, which experienced rapid adsorption firstly, then reached maximum adsorption capacity, subsequently suffered extensive desorption, finally went through irreversible slow adsorption. The growth behavior and protective performance of γ-GPS films was closely related to the adsorption capacity and the alignment of silanol monomers. As more silanol monomers were adsorbed, the stronger the intermolecular van der Waals interactions between the γ-GPS chains would be, resulting in highly ordered γ-GPS films with excellent performance. The proposed adsorption models were used to simulate the experimental phenomena and determine the adsorption mechanisms taking place on the low carbon steel surfaces.     

The origins of multifractality in financial time series and the effect of extreme events

In this paper, we study the impacts of noise and time delay in the monomer-dimer (MD) surface reaction model by using theoretical analysis. The MD models for various dimer adsorption mechanisms (namely, local and random adsorption models), which exhibit the first- and second-order phase transitions (PTs), are analyzed. By comparison with two various dimer adsorption, it is found that the qualitative predictions of the well-known first- and second-order PTs are better for the random adsorption model than that for the local adsorption model. The validity of approximate analytic results is checked by numerical simulations.     

Evaluation of adsorption energy distribution of microporous materials by a multivariant identification

The applicability of new BET-like adsorption models (uLBET and LBET formulas) for the examination of microporous materials of irregular structure is discussed. The models are intended to handle the main effects of random pore geometry on the adsorption isotherm shape. They are based on a generalized BET theory and employ simple (but realistic) adsorption energy-pore geometry relationships. To overcome numerical problems inherent in fitting any more advanced adsorption model, a multivariant identification procedure is proposed with a subset of parameters being fixed in each variant. The reliability assessment of the system parameters evaluation is stressed. The paper outlines formal and numerical bounds for adsorption measurements-based identifiability of irregular porous structures. The LBET-type formulas are recommended for the examination of such materials, as a relatively simple alternative versus DFT-based techniques. Numerous simulation results and exemplary examinations of an empirical isotherm are discussed.     

Adsorption of Hydrogels Based on Cellulose for Cu(II) and Ni(II): Behaviors and Mechanisms

Hydrogels based on cellulose-graft-poly (acrylic acid) copolymers (C-g-AA) were synthesized by graft copolymerization in a phosphoric acid solvent. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra confirmed the structure of the C-g-AA. The adsorption behaviors of the hydrogels for Cu(II) and Ni(II) were investigated. The results showed that their adsorption capacity increased as the initial concentrations of metal ions and the pH value of the solution increased. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were employed to analyze the data from batch adsorption experiments. The results indicated that there were very good correlation coefficients for their linearized equations. The maximum adsorption amounts of the hydrogels for the metal ions, based on the Langmuir model, were 182 and 200 mg/g for Cu(II) and Ni(II), respectively. When the initial concentration of metal ions was 1000 mg/g the actual adsorption amounts of the hydrogels for Cu(II) and Ni(II) were 181 and 183 mg/g, respectively.     

Chemisorption and catalytic oxidation of CO on palladium

The adsorption of CO on clean, low index crystal faces of palladium is analyzed in terms of the fixed site and mobile models. Isotherms give evidence of adsorbed molecule interaction or heterogeneity, although in the case of Pd(111) the Clausius-Clapeyron heats do not, and partial mobility is indicated. The oxidation mechanism in the mixed-Langmuir formulation is analyzed in terms of the absolute rate theory, and in terms of the isolated domain or island model for mixed adsorption. The data, which are qualitatively similar on all crystal faces can be adequately accounted for on the basis of a non-equilibrium mixed-Langmuir adsorption on a surface with long-range heterogeneity.
