The "capacitive mixing" (CAPMIX) technique is aimed at the extraction of energy from salinity difference between sea and rivers. It based on voltage rise that takes place electrodes when changing salt concentration solution in which two are dipped. In this paper, we focus activated carbon electrodes, produced with various methods treatments, measure their behaviour CAPMIX experiments. We find they behave as polarizable only time scales order minutes, while longer tend to move a specific...
Current water treatment technologies are inefficient at treating contaminated with metaldehyde, an 8-member cyclic tetramer of acetaldehyde widely used as a molluscicide in large-scale agriculture and gardens, which has been frequently observed to breach European regulatory limits the UK due its high solubility frequent use. Here, we examine controls on metaldehyde adsorption onto activated phenolic carbon, namely influence activation degree, pore size distribution, particle size, point zero...
This paper describes the development of carbon-based adsorbents for CO2 separation in integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) processes energy generation and hydrogen production. The research presented forms part a Research Fund Coal Steel funded project "Hydrogen advanced processes" (HYDROSEP) with ultimate aim developing technologies to reduce costs capture when compared existing absorption processes. A range carbon were developed by MAST Carbon. They present significant...
The capacitive mixing technique is aimed at producing renewable energy from salinity differences, for example between sea and river water. makes use of two electrodes that modify their potential in opposite directions when the concentration solution which they are immersed changed, as a consequence dynamics electric double layer forms ionic solution. Unfortunately, it difficult to find presenting both optimal performances variations. In order overcome this problem, we present here cell...
A variety of activated carbons (ACs) with different burnoff degrees (0–60%) and polystyrene cross-linked divinylbenzene (PSDVB) were studied using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) nitrogen adsorption methods. The ACs demonstrate increased deviation the pore shape from model slit-shaped pores increasing degree parallel contributions in 0.3–50 nm range. size distributions (PSDs) calculated SAXS density functional theory (DFT) methods have similar shapes but a more detailed picture for broad...
In the course of severe pathological conditions, such as acute liver failure and sepsis, toxic metabolites mediators inflammation are released into patient's circulation. One option for supportive treatment these conditions is plasmapheresis, in which plasma, after being separated from cellular components blood, cleansed by adsorption harmful molecules on polymers or activated carbon. this work, characteristics carbon beads with levels activation ranging 0 to 86% were assessed both...
Adsorption of myoglobin (Mb), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and γ-globulin (GG) onto activated carbons (ACs) with different pore size distributions, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) monolithic cryogels containing AC particles was studied. The highest initial rate Mb adsorption observed for having the largest specific surface area (1939 m2 g−1) volume (1.82 cm3 g−1). kinetics proteins characterized by a bimodal shape distribution f(D) function an effective diffusion coefficient. isotherms GG were...
A set of glutaraldehyde (GA) cross-linked poly(vinyl alcohol)/activated carbon (PVA/GA/AC) composites prepared in the form monolithic rods using a cryogelation technique and studied adsorption, mercury porosimetry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), quantum chemistry methods display porosity similar to that PVA/GA cryogel at high GA content (content ratio GA/AC = 1 GA/PVA 0.2). PVA multilayer coverage is an effective barrier for adsorption on AC particles. Variations surface (AC initial...
Structural characteristics of a series MAST carbons were studied using scanning electron microscopy images and the nitrogen adsorption isotherms analyzed with several models pores different equations. A developed model as mixture gaps between spherical nanoparticles slitlike was found appropriate for carbons. Adsorption ibuprofen [2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid] on activated possessing pore size distributions in protein-free bovine serum albumin (BSA)-containing aqueous solutions reveals...
Effective technologies are required to remove organic micropollutants from large fluid volumes overcome present and future challenges in water effluent treatment. A novel hierarchical composite filter material for rapid effective removal of polar contaminants was developed. The is fabricated phenolic resin-derived carbon microbeads with controllable porous structure specific surface area embedded a monolithic, flow permeable, poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel. bead-embedded monolithic retains the...
The aim of the present study was to develop and investigate nanoporous activated carbon materials for their ability adsorb inflammatory cytokines directly from blood, a range therapeutic applications, including: systemic response syndrome (SIRS) related sepsis, cardio-pulmonary by-pass surgery, or ischemic reperfusion injury. Building on previously established relationship between porous structure beaded polymer-derived its capacity molecules, we have developed characterized monolithic...
