A mathematical model describing dynamic adsorption in columns with spherical bidisperse perfusive or spherical bidisperse purely diffusive adsorbent particles is used to study the effects of the structural parameters of the adsorbent particles and of the parameters of the adsorption mechanism on the performance of chromatographic systems involving the adsorption of bovine serum albumin onto anion-exchange porous adsorbent particles. Four structural parameters are studied: the particle diameter, d(p), the macropore void fraction, ε(p), the microparticle diameter, d(m) and the parameter φ which affects the value of the permeability of the adsorbent particle. Two parameters of the adsorption mechanism are studied: …

Journal of Electrochemistry
Good quality potential-dependent surface Raman spectra of pyridine were obtained for the first time from a series of transition metals,e. g.,Fe,Co,Ni,Ru,Rh,Pd and Pt,which were electrodeposited on non-SERS-active substrates.The influences of the applied potential and the nature of metal on the adsorption behaviors were discussed briefly.This result illustrates that Raman spectroscopy is becoming a more general and powerful tool to study various electrochemical interfaces.

A mathematical model of multi-component dynamic adsorption in columns with spherical perfusive and spherical purely diffusive adsorbent particles with a bidisperse porous structure is constructed, solved, and used to study the performance of a binary adsorption system in a single-column fixed-bed process and in a two-column periodic countercurrent process in which the adsorbent is equally distributed over two beds. The total length of the two-column periodic counter-current system is equal to the length of the single-column fixed-bed system. The performance of fixed-bed and periodic counter-current systems with both perfusive and purely diffusive adsorbent particles is examined for different values of …

Transport and deposition of colloidal Fe, Mn and Al oxides play key roles in the cycling of toxic transition metals in aquatic environments because these colloids strongly bind transition metals. Further, attachment of biological cells and biofilm growth on surfaces can indirectly affect toxic metal distribution by influencing the deposition of colloidal oxides to surfaces. To elucidate the mechanisms governing these processes, deposition of colloidal oxides onto surfaces must be evaluated in the presence of suspended and adherent bacterial cells. Both particle size and concentration are expected to influence deposition. An experimental protocol was developed to determine the size distribution …

The Devanathan-Stachurski permeation technique was used to investigate the rate of hydrogen permeation through an iron membrane with consecutively electroplated zinc layers. Hydrogen evolution rates and hydrogen permeation rates were followed as functions of time at different applied potentials. Hydrogen evolution and permeation decreased with each successive zinc layer until finally reaching an average decrease of 93 and 96%, respectively, as compared with bare iron. Hydrogen surface coverage, exchange current density, absorption-adsorption reaction constant, and hydrogen recombination constant were estimated on bare iron and on zinc-plated iron. It was found that the decrease in the permeation rate of hydrogen through …
