Adsorption dispersive

Wauchope and Myers [116] studied the adsorption-dispersion kinetics of Atrazine and Linuron in sediment-aqueous slurries. The resulting adsorption or desorption was very rapid, approaching 75% of equilibrium values within 3-6min. Chlorinated adsorption of the herbicide on the sediment was completely reversible after 2h of adsorption.

The coagulation-dispersion behavior of aqueous silica sols is central to almost all processes requiring their unique adsorption, dispersion, gelation, and sol-gel properties. Aqueous silica sols are of particular interest in colloid science because their coagulation-dispersion behavior is said to be anomalous , that is, their stability in terms of electrolyte-pH control does not follow the pattern followed by almost all other oxide and latex colloidal materials. This chapter examines aqueous silica sol coagulation effects in light of studies of macroscopic silica-water interfaces and in particular the electrical double layer at such interfaces. 

Natural attenuation (NA) and enhanced natural attenuation (ENA) are possible low-cost alternatives to conventional techniques. During the NA process, pollutants are removed from ground water by different processes including volatilization, adsorption, dispersion, hydrolysis and biodegradation.

When a tracer is injected via a drillhole into groundwater, it is subject to diffusion, dispersion, dilution and adsorption. Dispersion is the result of very small variations in the velocity of laminar flow through porous media. Molecular diffusion is negligible, unless the velocity of flow is unusually low. Even if these processes are not significant, flow through an aquifer may be stratified or concentrated along discontinuities. Therefore, a tracer may remain undetected unless the observation drillholes intersect these discontinuities. 

The composition of water-in-oil emulsions varies from 30% to 80% water. These are extremely stable. After several days, they form chocolate mousse emulsions, which are annoyingly unresponsive to oxidation, adsorption, dispersion, combustion, and even sinking. The most effective method for mousse emulsions is physical removal. Mousse contains roughly 80% water, so after a 40 to 50% loss of light-ends through evaporation, a spill of 200,000 barrels oil can form 400,000 to 500,000 barrels of mousse.

The final source of dispersion, that associated with Taylor and Aris, is often the largest. In the early days of adsorption, dispersion often occurred because of unevenly packed adsorbent beds, but this cause has largely been minimized by careful packing. Now, the dispersion comes from the coupling of axial flow and radial diffusion detailed in Section 4.3. The result is... 

A monolayer can be regarded as a special case in which the potential is a square well however, the potential well may take other forms. Of particular interest now is the case of multilayer adsorption, and a reasonable assumption is that the principal interaction between the solid and the adsorbate is of the dispersion type, so that for a plane solid surface the potential should decrease with the inverse cube of the distance (see Section VI-3A). To avoid having an infinite potential at the surface, the potential function may be written...

The forces which bring about adsorption always include dispersion forces, which are attractive, together with short-range repulsive forces. In addition, there will be electrostatic (coulombic) forces if either the solid or the gas is polar in nature. Dispersion forces derive their name from the close connection between their origin and the cause of optical dispersion. First... 

The effect of polarity in enhancing the energy of interaction has been discussed by Kiselev and his associates who distinguish between non-specific adsorption, where only dispersion and repulsive forces are involved 4>d and and specific adsorption, where coulombic contributions (some or all of (p, [Pg.11]

An interesting example of a large specific surface which is wholly external in nature is provided by a dispersed aerosol composed of fine particles free of cracks and fissures. As soon as the aerosol settles out, of course, its particles come into contact with one another and form aggregates but if the particles are spherical, more particularly if the material is hard, the particle-to-particle contacts will be very small in area the interparticulate junctions will then be so weak that many of them will become broken apart during mechanical handling, or be prized open by the film of adsorbate during an adsorption experiment. In favourable cases the flocculated specimen may have so open a structure that it behaves, as far as its adsorptive properties are concerned, as a completely non-porous material. Solids of this kind are of importance because of their relevance to standard adsorption isotherms (cf. Section 2.12) which play a fundamental role in procedures for the evaluation of specific surface area and pore size distribution by adsorption methods. 

The degree of uncertainty of 10 per cent or more, inseparable from estimates of specific surface from adsorption isotherms, even those of nitrogen, may seem disappointing. In fact, however, attainment of this level of accuracy is a notable achievement in a field where, prior to the development of the BET method, even the order of magnitude of the specific surface of highly disperse solids was in doubt. The adsorption method still provides the only means of determining the specific surface of a mass of non-... 

The way in which these factors operate to produce Type III isotherms is best appreciated by reference to actual examples. Perhaps the most straightforward case is given by organic high polymers (e.g. polytetra-fluoroethylene, polyethylene, polymethylmethacrylate or polyacrylonitrile) which give rise to well defined Type III isotherms with water or with alkanes, in consequence of the weak dispersion interactions (Fig. S.2). In some cases the isotherms have been measured at several temperatures so that (f could be calculated in Fig. 5.2(c) the value is initially somewhat below the molar enthalpy of condensation and rises to qi as adsorption proceeds. In Fig. 5.2(d) the higher initial values of q" are ascribed to surface heterogeneity. 

The strength of dispersion interaction of a solid with a gas molecule is determined not only by the chemical composition of the surface of the solid, but also by the surface density of the force centres. If therefore this surface density can be sufficiently reduced by the pre-adsorption of a suitable substance, the isotherm may be converted from Type II to Type III. An example is rutile, modified by the pre-adsorption of a monolayer of ethanol the isotherm of pentane, which is of Type II on the unmodified rutile (Fig. 5.3, curve A), changes to Type III on the treated sample (cf. Fig. 5.3 curve B). Similar results were found with hexane-l-ol as pre-adsorbate. Another example is the pre-adsorption of amyl alcohol on a quartz powder... 

Eor a linear system f (c) = if, so the wave velocity becomes independent of concentration and, in the absence of dispersive effects such as mass transfer resistance or axial mixing, a concentration perturbation propagates without changing its shape. The propagation velocity is inversely dependent on the adsorption equiUbrium constant.
