The configurational entropy of interacting linear molecules (k-mers) absorbed on a regular lattice is addressed through analytical as well as numerical methods. The general definitions for computational exact calculations ...

The rigorous statistical thermodynamics of interacting linear adsorbates (k-mers) on a discrete onedimensional space is presented in the lattice gas approximation. The coverage and temperature dependence of the Helmholtz ...

The specific area of a substrate was determined from the results of adsorption isotherms performed with a sequence of four alkanes, from methane to butane, using three different approaches. The data were first analyzed ...

The use of groundwater to obtain water for human consumption is an alternative for places where there is no nearby surface spring available, or where there is no water treated by concessionaires being distributed to ...

Background: Arsenic decontamination of drinking water by adsorption is a simple and robust operation. When designing packed bed adsorbers for arsenic, the main problems are the slow diffusion kinetics of As in microporous ...
