Analysis of the Micropore Structure of Various Microporous Materials from Nitrogen Adsorption at 77 K

The micropore structure of four microporous materials (two zeolites, ZSM-5 and Y-82; an activated carbon and an alumina pillared clay) and their binary physical mixtures (50-50 wt%) have been examined by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. Various micropore sizes have been considered from the stages on the micropore filling mechanism in the microporous materials. The application of the Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) equation to characterize and obtain the adsorption potential distributions of the microporous materials is presented.     

Cobaltporphyrin‐adsorbed carbon black: highly efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction

meso‐Substituted cobalt porphyrins adsorbed on carbon black were prepared as catalysts for the electroreduction of O₂. The catalyst, which was prepared by using a homogenizer in mixing cobalt tetraethylporphyrin and carbon black, gave rise to electroreduction of O₂ at a remarkably positive potential (E_p = 0.45 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE)) and showed a high selectively for the four‐electron reduction (n = 3.8). Electrochemical study and extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analysis revealed that the adsorbed face‐to‐face dimeric aggregates of cobalt porphyrin molecules were highly efficient catalysts for electroreduction of O₂.

The effect of the amphiprotic nature of human hair keratin on the adsorption of high charge density cationic polyelectrolytes

Adsorption of the cationic polymers poly(methacrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride) (PMAPTAC) and poly(1,1-dimethylpiperidinium-3,5-diallylmethylene chloride) (PDMPDAMC) on human hair was studied by measurements of the amount of polymer adsorbed and by the streaming potential method. Results reflect the amphoteric nature of the keratin surface and show that the excess of anionic sites at pH values above 4 is the main driving force for the adsorption of cationic polyelectrolytes. Lowering the pH below 4 or addition of neutral salt (KCl) reduces the amount of adsorbed polymer. It was shown that the adsorption of cationic polymer in the concentration range 0.01 to 0.1 % and at neutral pH reverses the overall character of the surface from anionic to cationic. Keratin fibers modified in this manner do not exhibit amphoteric character and bear excess positive charge in the pH range 2–9.5. The value of the amount of the polymer adsorbed at saturation concentration (2 mg/g) as well as the lack of molecular weight effect in the range (5 · 10⁴ – 10⁶) on the amount of polymer adsorbed suggest that polymer chains adopt a rather extended conformation on the fiber surface. Some data concerning the formation of a complex between adsorbed cationic polymer and anionic detergents or polyelectrolytes are also presented.     

Negative adsorption due to electrostatic exclusion of micelles

Interactions of surfactants with solid substrates are important in the controlling of processes such as flotation, coating, flocculation and sedimentation. These interactions usually lead to adsorption on solids, but can also result in an exclusion of the reagents with dire consequences. In this work electrostatic exclusion of negatively charged dodecylbenzene sulfonate micelles from quartz/water, Bio-Sil/water and alumina/water interfaces has been investigated as a function of pH and ionic strength. Measurable negative adsorption of these surfactants from similarly charged solid/liquid interface was observed in the micellar region. In the case of porous samples with large surface area, comparison of pore size with the micelle size is necessary to avoid any erroneous conclusions regarding the role of electrostatic exclusion in a given system. A theoretical model for the electrostatic exclusion of micelles is developed and used to calculate the adsorption of negatively charged dodecylbenzene sulfonate on negatively charged quartz (pH 7), silica (Bio-Sil A, pH 3) and alumina (pH 11) in the micellar concentration region. The micellar exclusion values calculated using the model are in excellent agreement with the experimental results.     

Physicochemical aspects of microbial adhesion — Influence of antibody adsorption on the deposition ofStreptococcus sobrinus in a parallel-plate flow chamber

Deposition of the oral bacteriumStreptococcus sobrinus HG977 onto glass (water contact angle 0°) and onto FEP-Teflon (fluoroethylenepropylene; water contact angle 110°) was studied in a parallel-plate flow chamber in the presence and absence of polyclonal antibodies (pAb) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) adsorbed onto the cells. The zeta potentials of the bacteria ranged from −7.1 to −8.5 mV at pH 6.8 and were not affected by the presence of pAb or mAbs. Hydrophobicity (by water contact angles) increased from 30° (no antibodies) to 88° in the presence of pAb adsorbed onto the bacterial cell surface. The untreatedS. sobrinus had a greater tendency to adhere to glass (44.5 × 10⁶ cm⁻²) than to FEP-Teflon (18.3 × 10⁶ cm⁻²), in accordance with thermodynamic modelling. After preincubation ofS. sobrinus with pAb, its clear preference for adhesion to glass disappeared as expected from its increased hydrophobicity. Although forS. sobrinus preincubated with OMVU10 no difference was found in hydrophobicity in comparison to the untreated bacteria, the number of bacteria adhering to glass decreased to 10.2 ¢ 10⁶ cm⁻². Formation of bacterial aggregates was found whenS. sobrinus, preincubated with pAb or OMVU10, adhered to glass and FEP. This was also observed when untreated bacteria adhered to glass coated with OMVU10, or to FEP coaled with OMVU10 or pAb. Adhesion in these experiments is therefore thought to occur via near-neighbour collection induced by the presence of pAb or mAbs. Low numbers of bacteria were removed from glass after draining the flow cell, whereas high numbers of untreated bacteria and bacteria preincubated with OMVU10 were removed from FEP.S. sobrinus cells preincubated with pAb were not removed but piled up. It was concluded that the adhesion of untreatedS. sobrinus andS. sobrinus preincubated with pAb is in accordance with thermodynamic modelling, based on the overall wettability of the cell surfaces, whereas the adhesion ofS. sobrinus preincubated with OMVU10 may be through localized interactions, not expressed in overall surface properties.

The effect of the exchangeable metallic cation on the colloid properties of laponite treated with acridine orangea spectrophotometric study

The adsorption of the cationic dye acridine orange (AO) by different monoionic laponites leads to changes in the colloid properties of this synthetic mineral in aqueous solutions. The organic cation is adsorbed by the mechanism of cation exchange. Small amounts of adsorbed dye keep the clay in a peptized state with all metallic cations. Greater amounts of AO result in the neutralization of the electric charge of the clay, and its flocculation. In excess AO the charge of the clay platelets becomes positive and the clay is peptized. The colloid properties are studied by absorbance curves in which the absorbance is described as a function of the degree of saturation with constant clay concentrations or with constant dye concentrations. In the absorbance curves three regions can be identified. The transition between the first and second or the second and third regions depend on the exchangeable metallic cation initially present in the clay. The spectrophotometric method is useful in identifying the presence of tactoids and flocculation mechanism, whether it results in card-house or in book-house flocs.     

Effect of Inorganic Ions on Oleate Adsorption at a Nigerian Hematite–Water Interface

Using “pure” natural hematite selected from a high silica Nigerian hematitic ore, oleate adsorption densities at the hematite–water interface were determined in the presence of various inorganic ions (anions and cations) of different charges and at varying concentrations. Adsorption density was determined using electrical conductivity measurements. The specific surface area of the hematite particles was determined using the method of adsorption of paranitrophenol in aqueous solution. Inorganic ions in solution depressed oleate adsorption at the aqueous hematite surface. The charge of the ion proved to be the dominant factor determining the depression of oleate adsorption. Ionic strength also was an influence, up to a limiting value at which monolayer oleate coverage of the hematite surface occurred. The inorganic ions in solution are considered to function through nonspecific adsorption in the diffuse region of the electric double layer.     

A Branched Pore Model Analysis for the Adsorption of Acid Dyes on Activated Carbon

A new branched-pore adsorption model has been developed using an external mass transfer coefficient, K _f, an effective diffusivity, D _eff, a lumped micropore diffusion rate parameter, K _b, and the fraction of macropores, f, to describe sorption kinetic data from initial adsorbent-adsorbate contact to the long-term adsorption phase. This model has been applied to an environmental pollution problem—the removal of two dyes, Acid Blue 80 (AB80) and Acid Red 114 (AR114), by sorption on activated carbon. A computer program has been used to generate theoretical concentration-time curves and the four mass transfer kinetic parameters adjusted so that the model achieves a close fit to the experimental data. The best fit values of the parameters have been determined for different initial dye concentrations and carbon masses. Since the model is specifically applicable to fixed constant values of these four parameters, a further and key application of this project is to see if single constant values of these parameters can be used to describe all the experimental concentration-time decay curves for one dye-carbon system.The error analysis and best fit approach to modeling the decay curves for both dye systems show that the correlation between experimental and theoretical data is good for the fixed values of the four fitted parameters. A significantly better fit of the model predictions is obtained when K _f, K _b and f are maintained constant but D _eff is varied. This indicates that the surface diffusivity may vary as a function of surface coverage.
