Hadhramout University Journal of Natural & Applied Sciences

Removal of eriochrome black-T (EB-T) dye from aqueous solutions was performed by adsorption onto Yemeni palmdate stones. The adsorption isotherm was found to follow the Langmuir model. Two simplified kinetic models including pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order equation were selected to follow the adsorption processes. Kinetic studies showed that the adsorption followed pseudo-first order kinetic model. Various thermodynamic parameters such as Δ𝐻 = -3465.3 J/mole and Δ𝑆 = -10.1 J/K/mole. Δ𝐺 was found to be -4495.5, -2195.2, -2235.7 and -45.39 J/mole at 298, 318, 328 and 338 K respectively, the maximum adsorption capacity was equal to 142 mg/g. The results …

Production And Adsorption Of Volatile Tellurium Hexafluoride, Stephanie H. Bruffey

Doctoral Dissertations

Research and development supporting the management of off-gases from nuclear fuel reprocessing has historically been focused on the off-gas streams that arise from aqueous reprocessing technology. With the advent of advanced reactor designs off-gas streams arising from advanced reprocessing methodology, such as that of FV [fluoride volatility] processing, also merit consideration. This work focuses on TeF₆ [tellurium hexafluoride], one of the most volatile radioactive compounds produced during FV, and investigates TeF₆ production, measurement, and abatement technologies.

To assist in on-line monitoring of TeF₆ by Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, this work systematically used the ideal gas law and Beer’s …

Simulated Breathing: Application Of Molecular Dynamics Simulations To Pulmonary Lung Surfactant, Maksymilian Dziura, Basel Mansour, Mitchell Dipasquale, P. Charukeshi Chandrasekera, James W. Gauld, Drew Marquardt

Chemistry and Biochemistry Publications

In this review, we delve into the topic of the pulmonary surfactant (PS) system, which is present in the respiratory system. The total composition of the PS has been presented and explored, from the types of cells involved in its synthesis and secretion, down to the specific building blocks used, such as the various lipid and protein components. The lipid and protein composition varies across species and between individuals, but ultimately produces a PS monolayer with the same role. As such, the composition has been investigated for the ways in which it imposes function and confers peculiar biophysical characteristics to …

Adsorption And Transport Of Colloids At Interface And In Bulk, Jingyun Lee

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Colloids are suspensions of microscopic insoluble particles dispersed in a continuum phase such as liquid or gas. Colloids are found in our everyday life from food and cosmetic industries to pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Depending on a global minimum of the free-energy landscape, colloidal suspensions can be classified as two major classes: equilibrium or active colloidal system. This Ph.D dissertation presents strategies to engineer equilibrium self-assembled structures and out-of-equilibrium active matter using various interparticle forces.

First, we introduce the means to promote the equilibrium self-assembled structures driven by adsorption of colloids at interface. Typically, adsorption of colloids at interface is …

Al-Qadisiyah Journal of Pure Science

A new dye AZO 4-antipyl azo (benzoic acid) was prepared. The possibility of adsorption of the water solution to the dye was studied on a raw white cloth surface where the cloth was treated and the impurities removed Before conducting adsorption experiments. The results showed that the suitable conditions for the adsorption process were in the acidic medium of the water solution of the dye. In the neutral and basal medium, the adsorption process was not induced. The effect of temperature on the adsorption process was also studied , The aim of this study was to use dye prepared in …

Extending Single Entity Electrochemistry Towards The Detection Of Single Bacteria In Micro Volumes, Ashley Tubbs, Junaid Ahmed, Julio C. Alvarez

Graduate Research Posters

Single entity electrochemistry (SEE) is an emerging electroanalytical technique with the ability to push the limit of detection of electrochemical sensors to the single particle level. It measures the change in current over time, making SEE rapid, simple, and cost-effective. The type of current response observed in the scan can provide information about the physiochemical processes underlying the signal. While SEE was originally developed to detect single molecules and nanoparticles, it has been widely applied to micron-sized particles, including emulsion droplets, bacteria, viruses, and mammalian cells. Some recent advances in this technique have focused on the detection of microscopic quantities …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The use of microalgae biomass is an alternative solution to the problem of environmental pollution due to heavy metals, one of which is Cr metal in leather tanning liquid waste. However, the ability of biomass to adsorb heavy metals has limitations. Therefore, the algal biomass is immobilized with silica gel in order to obtain a stable structure. This research aims to study the absorption efficiency of Cr (VI) metal by the biomass of Spirulina sp. which is immobilized with silica gel from the tannery liquid waste. The preparation stages in this study were adsorbent preparation, immobilization of biomass with silica …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Disposal of contaminated wastewater causes many serious problems especially when it gets mixed with the ground and seawater. It is, therefore, important to apply any remedial action to eradicate dangerous pollutants from the aqueous effluents and to avoid exposure of this wastewater to aquatic life. The research results discussed herein deal with the removal of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Congo Red (CR) dye from wastewater by using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an adsorbent. Different factors like solid dosage, initial pH and concentration, time, and temperature were studied to understand the behavior and mechanism of adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity …
