To ensure the availability of clean water for humans into future, efficient and cost-effective purification technology will be required. The rapidly decreasing quality growing global demand this scarce resource has driven pursuit high-performance materials, particularly application as point-of-use devices. This review introduce main types natural artificial contaminants that are present in challenges associated with their effective removal. efficiency performance recently developed materials...
The acetone-extractable (70% v/v) skin tannin content of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon grapes was found to increase during late-stage ripening. Conversely, determined following ethanol extraction (10, 20, and 50% did not consistently reflect this trend. results indicated that a fraction became less extractable in aqueous Skin cell walls were observed become more porous ripening, which may facilitate the sequestering as an adsorbed within walls. For extracts, molecular mass...
Abstract A qualitative interpretation is proposed to interpret isosteric heats of adsorption by considering contributions from three general classes interaction energy: fluid–fluid heat, fluid–solid and fluid—high‐energy site (HES) heat. Multiple temperature isotherms are defined for nitrogen, T =(75, 77, 79) K, argon at =(85, 87, 89) water methanol =(278, 288, 298) K on a well‐characterized polymer‐based, activated carbon. Nitrogen subjected heat analyses; their zero filling consistent with...
This paper presents adsorption isotherms and isosteric heats of for methanol vapor two commercially available activated carbon samples—207EA granules WS-480 pellets (Calgon Carbon, U.S.A.)—which were also fully characterized using nitrogen sorption at 77 K. The heat as a function loading was determined the Clausius–Clapeyron approach with obtained 5 °C, 15 25 °C. increased sharply small coverage due to increasing effect condensation coverage. reached maximum then varies little loading,...
A detailed analysis and calculation of the uncertainties associated with manometric gas-adsorption measurements are presented for experimental data nitrogen adsorption at ≈77 K by a traceable standard carbon black material (004-16820-02). Equipment- measurement-related uncertainty sources derive from dosing sampling volumes; temperature control these dosing, equilibrium, barometric-pressure measurements; liquid level control; sample-mass measurements. Data processing errors ignoring thermal...
A method for the determination of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB) in water by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is presented. Various SPME fibre chemistries have been compared their efficiency extracting MIB from water. Extraction conditions including extraction time temperature optimised. 30 ml sample extracted 20 min at 60 °C using a divinylbenzene fibre, extract analysed gas chromatography with ion-trap mass spectrometry detection. d5-Geosmin d3-MIB are added as internal standards...
A combination of gas and probe molecule adsorption from aqueous solution have been applied to determine the adsorptive structural properties porous silicon (pSi) particles as a function thermal oxidation in range 473−1073 K. Gaseous nitrogen has shown decrease BET specific surface area, mesopore volume, diameter due increasing molecular volume oxidized layer within pores. Methylene blue was used an adsorbate establish apparent area pSi capacity independent 473−873 Comparable capacities at...
This paper studies an ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide ([EMIM][TFSI]) containing Zn2+ ions as a novel functional group for CO2 absorption. Their physical properties including the density, decomposition temperature, phase transition heat capacity and viscosity have been characterised. The solubility measurements carried out under constant pressures of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 1.0 bar at 40 °C. result shows appealing 8.2 wt% bar. real-time absorption...
