The experimental results showed that the presence of STPP could significantly improve the fluidity of cement paste and reduce the fluidity loss with FDN. There existed a competitive adsorption between STPP and FDN. STPP and calcium ions formed complexes; they preferentially adsorbed onto surface of cement particles and preempt adsorption points of FDN; and it reduced adsorption amount of FDN. In the absence of STPP, saturation adsorption amount of FDN was 5.93 mg/g; but when the dosage of STPP was 0.1%, it reduced to 4.3 mg/g (about 72.5%). The adsorption amount of FDN was reduced by STPP, but ξ-potential of cement particles enhanced and fluidity of cement paste increased because of strong negative charge effect of the complexes. Adsorption of the complexes would delay Ca^2+ into liquid and inhibit formation of active adsorption points. Then, content of FDN in liquid increased with the addition of STPP and ξ-potential of cement particles became stable. In this way, fluidity loss of cement paste reduced.展开更多

Adsorption isotherms for 1 amino 2 naphthol 4 sulfonic acid(1, 2, 4 acid) and 2 naphthol obtained from various binary adsorption environments can be well fitted by Freundlich equation, which indicated a favorable adsorption process in the studied range. Adsorption for 1, 2, 4 acid was an endothermic process in comparison with that for 2 naphthol of an exothermic process. 2 naphthol molecules put a little influence on the adsorption capacity for 1, 2, 4 acid. However, the adsorption to 1, 2, 4 acid depressed that to 2 naphthol in a large extent for the stronger electrostatic interaction between 1, 2, 4 acid and adsorbent. The predominant mechanism can be contributed to the competition for adsorption sites. And the simultaneous environment was confirmed to be helpful to the selective adsorption towards 1,2,4 acid based on the larger selectivity index.展开更多

Experimental results indicated that nitrate ions can be removed efficiently from aqueous solutions. Adsorption isotherm of gels was well according to the Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich models. At the same time, the diffusion behavior of nitrate ions from P(DMAEMA/HEMA) hydrogels was investigated. The diffusion coefficients are strongly influenced by the changes of temperature and pH value of solutions. At the same time, D does not depend on the gels cross-linking ratio and initial solute concentration.展开更多

The adsorption isotherms showed normal Langmuir type-Ⅰ behaviors. The increased adsorption heat with an increasing p-xylene coverage supported a mechanism of phase transition, diffusion and re-arrangement of p-xylene molecules during the adsorption process. The rearrangement seemed to be most pronounced at an adsorption loading of 2.13 and 2.29 mmol/g for Na Y zeolite and Na Y/kaolin composites respectively. Compared with Na Y zeolite, a 2—3 times higher in the diffusion coefficient of p-xylene was observed on Na Y/kaolin composites when the pressure was more than 50 Pa. Temperature-programmed desorption(TPD) of p-xylene on two samples from room temperature to 450 ℃ at a special loading has also been investigated by IGA. Results showed only single desorption peak appeared for Na Y zeolite, indicating that adsorption can only occur in the super-cage structure. Comparably, there were two different peaks for in-situ synthesized Na Y zeolite, corresponding to the two thermo desorption processes in both super-cage structure and the channels provided by kaolin, respectively.Key words:展开更多

The diffusion coefficient...The diffusion and adsorption behaviors of benzene and propylene in zeolites MFI, MWW and BEA have been studied by molecular dynamics(MD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo(GCMC) simulations. The diffusion coefficients of benzene and propylene in MFI, MWW and BEA zeolites were calculated by simulating the mean-square displacements(MSD) at 298 and 600 K. Benzene and propylene showed the different adsorption rules in the channels of the three zeolites. For propylene, the molecular loadings decreased in the order: BEA(linear channel)〉BEA (tortuous channel)〉MFI(linear channel)〉MWW(12-membered rings, 12MR channel)〉MFI(tortuous channel)〉MWW (10-membered rings, 10MR channel); for benzene, the molecular loadings decreased in the order: BEA(linear chan-nel)〉BEA(tortuous channel)〉MWW(12MR channel)〉MFI(linear channel)〉MFI(tortuous channel)〉MWW(10MR channel). Besides, the adsorption isotherms of benzene and propylene in the three zeolites at 298 and 443 K were simulated. The results show that the different factors influenced the molecular adsorption at various temperatures and pressures, leading to the different rules for the adsorption of benzene and propylene molecules in the zeolites. At a low pressure, the unfavorable energy would make the loadings of propylene lower than those of benzene. When pressure was higher than 0.25 kPa, the adsorption of benzene in MFI would nearly reach saturation.展开更多

The selected unary compound(ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and n-propyl acetate) and binary mixture(solution 1 is composed of ethanol and acetone, and solution 2 is composed of ethyl acetate and n-propyl acetate) exhibit different adsorption behaviors with varied polarities. In comparison with single component, solution 1 shows shorter adsorption equilibrium time, faster adsorption rate, and stronger adsorption capacity, which conform to a synergistic adsorption mechanism, while the competitive behavior is attributed to the slower adsorption in solution 2. In addition, the pseudo-second-order equation with terahertz parameter is used to assess the rate of binary component organics. The present results indicate a further understanding of multicomponent adsorption mechanisms.展开更多

The characteristics of diffusion in nano-scale pores in matrix and desorption on the matrix surface were both considered in the improved differential equations for seepage flow. By integrating the Langmuir isotherm desorption items into the new total dimensionless compression coefficient in matrix, the transport function and seepage flow could be formalized, simplified and consistent with the conventional form of diffusion equation. Furthermore, by utilizing the Laplace change and Sethfest inversion changes, the calculated results were obtained and further discussions indicated that transfer mechanisms were influenced by diffusion, adsorption/desorption. The research shows that when the matrix permeability is closed to magnitude of 10^-9D, the matrix flow only occurs near the surfacial matrix; as to the actual production, the central matrix blocks are barely involved in the production; the closer to the surface of matrix, the lower the pressure is and the more obvious the diffusion effect is; the behavior of adsorption/desorption can increase the matrix flow rate significantly and slow down the pressure of horizontal well obviously.展开更多

First, a realistic representation of the structure of the sorbate-sorbent system was obtained based on GCMC simulation. The simulation clearly shows the characteristics of the adsorption sites of the benzene-NaY system, from which two kinds of preferably adsorbing sites for benzene molecules, called SⅡ and W sites, are identified. The structure thus obtained was then used as a basis for KMC and MD simulations. A compara-tive study by introducing and comparing two different mechanisms underlying jump diffusion in the zeolite of in-terest shows that the.MS diffusivity values predicted by the KMC and MD methods are fairly close to each other,leading to the conclusion that for benzene diffusion in NaY, the SⅡ→W→SⅡ jumps of benzene molecules are dominated,while the W→Wjumps do not exist in the process. These findings provide further support to our previous conclusion about the absence of the W→W jumps in the process of benzene diffusion in NaY. Finally, to relations, for predicting the self-and MS difthsivities were derived and found to be in fair agreement with the KMC and MD simulations.展开更多

The results show that the adsorption rates are rapid: equilibrium is reached in twenty minutes. The adsorption of copper, nickel and cadmium is pH dependent over the pH range from 2 to 6. The adsorption kinetics can be excellently described by the Elovich kinetic equation. The adsorption isotherm fits a Langmuir model very well. The adsorption capacities follow the order Cu^2+ 〉 Ni^2+〉 Cd^2+ in single-component systems and the competitive adsorption capacities fall in the decreasing order Cu^2+ 〉 Ni^2+〉 Cd^2+ in multi-component systems. The adsorption capacities of these three heavy metal ions on peat are consistent with their observed competitive adsorption capacities.展开更多

The preferred site for the carbon atom on the surface is the hollow site, and the preferred site in the subsurface is the octahedral site. There is charge transfer from the surface to the adsorbed carbon atom, and for the most favorable adsorbed structure the charge transfer is largest. Moreover, the energy barriers for the diffusions of carbon atoms on the surface and from the surface into the subsurface and then back to the surface are calculated in detail. The results indicate that the energy barrier for the diffusion of carbon atoms on the surface is comparable to that from the subsurface to the surface. The results imply that both the direct surface nucleation and the surface segregation from Co bulk can be observed in the chemical vapor deposition growth of graphene on Co (200) substrate, which can gain a new insight into the growth mechanism of graphene.展开更多

Therefore, their selective retention and competitive adsorption by the soils become of major importance in determining their availability and movement throughout the soil. In this study, the availability and mobility of six heavy metals in eight urban soils collected from different cities of Zhejiang Province, southeastern China were assessed using distribution coefficients(Kd) and retardation factor(Rf). The results showed that there were great differences in the Kd and Rfamong the tested soils. The adsorption sequences were Cr〉Pb〉Cu〉Cd〉Zn〉Ni, and the Kd decreased with increasing levels of metal addition. Ni generally has the lowest Rf values followed closely by Cd, and Zn whereas Cr and Pb reached the highest values. The results suggest that Ni and Zn have the highest mobility associated to the lowest adsorption, Cr and Pb present the opposite behavior. Correlation analysis indicates that soil pH, CaCO3 content, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) are key factors controlling the solubility and mobility of the metals in the urban soils.展开更多

文摘The equivalence between multilayered barriers regarding diffusion and adsorption was studied.The bottom boundary of the liner system is defined by assuming concentration continuous and flux continuous conditions of the contaminant between the bottom liner layer and the underlying soil.Five different liner systems were compared in terms of solute breakthrough time.The results of the analysis showed that breakthrough time of the hydrophobic organic compounds for a 2-meter-thick compacted clay liner(CCL)could be 3-4 orders of magnitude is greater than the breakthrough time for a geosynthetic clay liner(GCL)composite liner.The GM/GCL and GM/CCL composite liner systems provide a better diffusion barrier for the hydrophilic organic compounds than that for the hydrophobic compounds due to their different Henry's coefficient.The calculated breakthrough times of the organic contaminants for the Chinese standard liner systems were found to be generally greater than those for the GCL alternatives,for the specific conditions examined.If the distribution coefficient increases to 2.8 for the hydrophobic compounds or 1.0 for the hydrophilic compounds,the thickness of the attenuation layer needed to achieve the same breakthrough time as the standard liner systems can be reduced by a factor of about 1.9-2.4.As far as diffusive and adsorption contaminant transport are concerned,GM or GCL is less effective than CCL.
文摘In this work, the adsorption and diffusion behavior of nitrate ions into polycationic P(DMAEMA/HEMA) hydrogels is analyzed. Experimental results indicated that nitrate ions can be removed efficiently from aqueous solutions. Adsorption isotherm of gels was well according to the Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich models. At the same time, the diffusion behavior of nitrate ions from P(DMAEMA/HEMA) hydrogels was investigated. The diffusion coefficients are strongly influenced by the changes of temperature and pH value of solutions. At the same time, D does not depend on the gels cross-linking ratio and initial solute concentration.

文摘Para-xylene was chosen as the probe molecule to study adsorption thermodynamics and diffusion kinetics on NaY zeolite and composite structured NaY zeolite synthesized by in-situ crystallization from kaolin microsphere(designated as Na Y/kaolin composites) separately, using a high precision intelligent gravimetric analyzer(IGA). The adsorption isotherms showed normal Langmuir type-Ⅰ behaviors. The increased adsorption heat with an increasing p-xylene coverage supported a mechanism of phase transition, diffusion and re-arrangement of p-xylene molecules during the adsorption process. The rearrangement seemed to be most pronounced at an adsorption loading of 2.13 and 2.29 mmol/g for Na Y zeolite and Na Y/kaolin composites respectively. Compared with Na Y zeolite, a 2—3 times higher in the diffusion coefficient of p-xylene was observed on Na Y/kaolin composites when the pressure was more than 50 Pa. Temperature-programmed desorption(TPD) of p-xylene on two samples from room temperature to 450 ℃ at a special loading has also been investigated by IGA. Results showed only single desorption peak appeared for Na Y zeolite, indicating that adsorption can only occur in the super-cage structure. Comparably, there were two different peaks for in-situ synthesized Na Y zeolite, corresponding to the two thermo desorption processes in both super-cage structure and the channels provided by kaolin, respectively.Key words:

文摘The diffusion and adsorption behaviors of benzene and propylene in zeolites MFI, MWW and BEA have been studied by molecular dynamics(MD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo(GCMC) simulations. The diffusion coefficients of benzene and propylene in MFI, MWW and BEA zeolites were calculated by simulating the mean-square displacements(MSD) at 298 and 600 K. Benzene and propylene showed the different adsorption rules in the channels of the three zeolites. For propylene, the molecular loadings decreased in the order: BEA(linear channel)〉BEA (tortuous channel)〉MFI(linear channel)〉MWW(12-membered rings, 12MR channel)〉MFI(tortuous channel)〉MWW (10-membered rings, 10MR channel); for benzene, the molecular loadings decreased in the order: BEA(linear chan-nel)〉BEA(tortuous channel)〉MWW(12MR channel)〉MFI(linear channel)〉MFI(tortuous channel)〉MWW(10MR channel). Besides, the adsorption isotherms of benzene and propylene in the three zeolites at 298 and 443 K were simulated. The results show that the different factors influenced the molecular adsorption at various temperatures and pressures, leading to the different rules for the adsorption of benzene and propylene molecules in the zeolites. At a low pressure, the unfavorable energy would make the loadings of propylene lower than those of benzene. When pressure was higher than 0.25 kPa, the adsorption of benzene in MFI would nearly reach saturation.

文摘The adsorption of four substances and their binary mixture is investigated via the terahertz time domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS). The selected unary compound(ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and n-propyl acetate) and binary mixture(solution 1 is composed of ethanol and acetone, and solution 2 is composed of ethyl acetate and n-propyl acetate) exhibit different adsorption behaviors with varied polarities. In comparison with single component, solution 1 shows shorter adsorption equilibrium time, faster adsorption rate, and stronger adsorption capacity, which conform to a synergistic adsorption mechanism, while the competitive behavior is attributed to the slower adsorption in solution 2. In addition, the pseudo-second-order equation with terahertz parameter is used to assess the rate of binary component organics. The present results indicate a further understanding of multicomponent adsorption mechanisms.

文摘To improve the understanding of the transport mechanism in shale gas reservoirs and build a theoretical basic for further researches on productivity evaluation and efficient exploitation, various gas transport mechanisms within a shale gas reservoir exploited by a horizontal well were thoroughly investigated, which took diffusion, adsorption/desorption and Darcy flow into account. The characteristics of diffusion in nano-scale pores in matrix and desorption on the matrix surface were both considered in the improved differential equations for seepage flow. By integrating the Langmuir isotherm desorption items into the new total dimensionless compression coefficient in matrix, the transport function and seepage flow could be formalized, simplified and consistent with the conventional form of diffusion equation. Furthermore, by utilizing the Laplace change and Sethfest inversion changes, the calculated results were obtained and further discussions indicated that transfer mechanisms were influenced by diffusion, adsorption/desorption. The research shows that when the matrix permeability is closed to magnitude of 10^-9D, the matrix flow only occurs near the surfacial matrix; as to the actual production, the central matrix blocks are barely involved in the production; the closer to the surface of matrix, the lower the pressure is and the more obvious the diffusion effect is; the behavior of adsorption/desorption can increase the matrix flow rate significantly and slow down the pressure of horizontal well obviously.

文摘Fe3O4-octadecyltrichlorosilane(Fe3O4-OTS)was synthesized and used to remove dyes in a competitive system.Fe3O4-OTS was prepared by slow hydrolysis of OTS in cyclohexane on the surface of Fe3O4obtained through coprecipitation method.Scanning electron microscope(SEM),energy dispersive spectrometer(EDS),and contact angle analyzer(CA)were used to analyze the properties of Fe3O4-OTS.Methyl orange(MO)and methylene blue(MB)were selected as model molecules to study the influence mechanism of p H and ionic strength on competitive adsorption.The results of EDS and CA indicated that Fe3O4 was modified successfully with OTS on the surface.Silicon appeared and carbon content increased obviously on the surface of adsorbent.Contact angle of adsorbent increased from 0~o to 107~o after being modified by OTS.Fe3O4-OTS showed good separation for MO and MB in competitive system,which has potential to separate dyes in sewage.Separation factor(β~OB)changed from 18.724 to 0.017,when p H changed from 7 to 12,revealing that MO and MB could be separated almost thoroughly by Fe3O4-OTS.p H could change the surface charge of Fe3O4-OTS and structure of dyes,and thus change the interactions of competitive system indirectly.Even though hydrophobic interaction was enhanced,ionic strength reduced the difference of electrostatic interaction between dyes and Fe3O4-OTS.So it is unfavorable to separate dyes with opposite charges when ionic strength increases.These findings may provide theoretical guidances to separate two-component dye pollutants.

文摘A new competitive adsorption isothermal model(CAIM)was developed for the coexistent and competitive binding of heavy metals to the soil surface.This model extended the earlier adsorption isothermal models by considering more than one kind of ion adsorption on the soil surface.It was compared with the Langmuir model using different conditions, and it was found that CAIM,which was suitable for competitive ion adsorption at the soil solid-liquid surface,had more advantages than the Langmuir model.The new competitive adsorption isothermal model was used to fit the data of heavy metal(Zn and Cd)competitive adsorption by a yellow soil at two temperatures.The results showed that CAIM was appropriate for the competitive adsorption of heavy metals on the soil surface at different temperatures.The fitted parameters of CAIM had explicit physical meaning.The model allowed for the calculation of the standard molar Gibbs free energy change,the standard molar enthalpy change,and the standard molar entropy change of the competitive adsorption of the heavy metals,Zn and Cd,by the yellow soil at two temperatures using the thermodynamic equilibrium constants.

文摘In the article the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC), molecular dynamics(MD), and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations with particular focus on ascertaining the loading dependence of benzene diffusion in the zeolite were performed. First, a realistic representation of the structure of the sorbate-sorbent system was obtained based on GCMC simulation. The simulation clearly shows the characteristics of the adsorption sites of the benzene-NaY system, from which two kinds of preferably adsorbing sites for benzene molecules, called SⅡ and W sites, are identified. The structure thus obtained was then used as a basis for KMC and MD simulations. A compara-tive study by introducing and comparing two different mechanisms underlying jump diffusion in the zeolite of in-terest shows that the.MS diffusivity values predicted by the KMC and MD methods are fairly close to each other,leading to the conclusion that for benzene diffusion in NaY, the SⅡ→W→SⅡ jumps of benzene molecules are dominated,while the W→Wjumps do not exist in the process. These findings provide further support to our previous conclusion about the absence of the W→W jumps in the process of benzene diffusion in NaY. Finally, to relations, for predicting the self-and MS difthsivities were derived and found to be in fair agreement with the KMC and MD simulations.

文摘The uptake capacities, and the adsorption kinetics, of copper, Cu(Ⅱ), nickel, Ni(Ⅱ), and cadmium, Cd(Ⅱ), on peat have been studied under static conditions. The results show that the adsorption rates are rapid: equilibrium is reached in twenty minutes. The adsorption of copper, nickel and cadmium is pH dependent over the pH range from 2 to 6. The adsorption kinetics can be excellently described by the Elovich kinetic equation. The adsorption isotherm fits a Langmuir model very well. The adsorption capacities follow the order Cu^2+ 〉 Ni^2+〉 Cd^2+ in single-component systems and the competitive adsorption capacities fall in the decreasing order Cu^2+ 〉 Ni^2+〉 Cd^2+ in multi-component systems. The adsorption capacities of these three heavy metal ions on peat are consistent with their observed competitive adsorption capacities.
文摘Three different zeolite catalysts with different pore sizes(MFI-type,BEA-type,and FAU-type zeolites)have been prepared.The influence of different zeolite catalysts on reactivity and product shape selectivity of tetralin is investigated.Clear differences are observed in the reactivity of tetralin and distribution of products achieved by different catalysts.The diffusion and adsorption behavior of the reactant tetralin and its intermediates,n-butylbenzene and 1-methylindane under the reaction conditions are simulated using molecular simulation methods.Upon combining simulation results and experimental observations,it is shown that the difference in diffusion coefficient and competitive adsorption capacity can explain the reactivity of tetralin and the selectivity of products.The steric hindrance of the MFI-type zeolite mainly limits the key step of ring opening of tetralin,leading to lower selectivity of ring-opening products.n-Butylbenzene molecules can diffuse sufficiently fast in the large pores of FAU-type zeolite and the weak adsorption capacity of n-butylbenzene leads to its insufficient cracking.In addition,it also explains the reason that the BEA-type zeolite has the best BTX selectivity,because it can satisfy both good ring-opening activity and sufficient butylbenzene cracking depth.

文摘First-principles calculations based on density functional theory are used to investigate the adsorptions and diffusions of carbon atoms on the surface and in the subsurface of Co (200). The preferred site for the carbon atom on the surface is the hollow site, and the preferred site in the subsurface is the octahedral site. There is charge transfer from the surface to the adsorbed carbon atom, and for the most favorable adsorbed structure the charge transfer is largest. Moreover, the energy barriers for the diffusions of carbon atoms on the surface and from the surface into the subsurface and then back to the surface are calculated in detail. The results indicate that the energy barrier for the diffusion of carbon atoms on the surface is comparable to that from the subsurface to the surface. The results imply that both the direct surface nucleation and the surface segregation from Co bulk can be observed in the chemical vapor deposition growth of graphene on Co (200) substrate, which can gain a new insight into the growth mechanism of graphene.
文摘Heavy metals can be introduced into urban soils at the same time. Therefore, their selective retention and competitive adsorption by the soils become of major importance in determining their availability and movement throughout the soil. In this study, the availability and mobility of six heavy metals in eight urban soils collected from different cities of Zhejiang Province, southeastern China were assessed using distribution coefficients(Kd) and retardation factor(Rf). The results showed that there were great differences in the Kd and Rfamong the tested soils. The adsorption sequences were Cr〉Pb〉Cu〉Cd〉Zn〉Ni, and the Kd decreased with increasing levels of metal addition. Ni generally has the lowest Rf values followed closely by Cd, and Zn whereas Cr and Pb reached the highest values. The results suggest that Ni and Zn have the highest mobility associated to the lowest adsorption, Cr and Pb present the opposite behavior. Correlation analysis indicates that soil pH, CaCO3 content, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) are key factors controlling the solubility and mobility of the metals in the urban soils.
