In the present paper, finite multilayer adsorption is described as a fractional statistics problem, based on Haldane's statistics. In this scheme, the Helmholtz free energy and its derivatives are written in terms of a ...

Cellulose emerges as an alternative for the treatment of water contaminated with heavy metals due to its abundant biomass and its proven potential in the adsorption of pollutants. The aquatic plant Eichhornia crassipes is ...

A pseudo-second-order rate equation describing the kinetic adsorption of phenol onto peanut shell acid-activated carbon at different initial concentrations, carbon dosages and particle sizes has been developed. The adsorption ...

To describe the non-trivial features of the equilibrium protonation and physical adsorption of peptides/proteins in pH-responsive hydrogels, we summarize our recent theoretical work on the subject. In these systems, molecular ...

The adsorption of binary mixtures on heterogeneous surfaces is studied by a cluster approximation (CA), based on the exact calculation of configurations on finite cells. The substrate is characterized by n types of sites, ...

In the present work, a generalized lattice-gas model to study multilayer adsorption of interacting polyatomic species on heterogeneous surfaces is introduced. Using an approximation in the spirit of the well-known ...
