The greater part of Parsons childhood was spent at the family s castle and estate at Parsonstown (now Birr), County Offaly, Ireland. The workshops there were extensive, and he grew up surrounded by tools and machinei y. He was privately educated by, among others, Sir Robert Ball, a man who encouraged him to spend time not just in the classroom, hut also in the workshops. With these facilities and the guidance of his parents aird tutor, he developed an exceptional talent for engineering. 

Robert Curl, Richard Smalley, and Harold Kroto were awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry in 1996 for the discovery of the soccer-ball-shaped molecule C60. This fundamental molecule was the first of a new series of molecular allotropes of carbon. The enthalpy of combustion of C60 is —25 937 kj-mol, and its enthalpy of sublimation is +233 kj-mol There are 90 bonds in C60, of which 60 are single bonds and 30 are double bonds. Like benzene, C60 has...

This polymorph of carbon was only discovered in 1985 by Sir Harry Kroto at the University of Sussex while looking for carbon chains. It is made by passing an electric arc between two carbon rods in a partial atmosphere of helium. Kroto was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1996, along with two American researchers (Robert F.Curl Jr. and Richard E.Smalley). The molecule has the formula Ceo and has the same shape as a soccer ball—a truncated icosahedron it takes its name from the engineer and philosopher Buckminster Fuller who discovered the architectural principle of the hollow geodesic dome that this molecule resembles (a geodesic dome was built for EXPO 67 in Montreal). The structure is depicted in Figure 6.14.

Sorption generally is regarded as a rapid process and, in many laboratory sorption experiments, equilibrium often is observed within several minutes or hours. An equilibration time of 24 hours often is used for convenience. True sorption equilibrium, however, may require weeks to months to achieve (Karickhoff, 1981 Karickhoff, 1984), depending on the chemical and environmental solid of interest. In many instances, an early period of rapid and extensive sorption, followed by a long slow period, is observed (Karickhoff, 1980 Wu and Gschwend, 1986 Brusseau and Rao, 1989 Brusseau et al., 1990 Ball and Roberts, 1991).
