Dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)–modified and unmodified calcium bentonite were both used for the competitive adsorption of aromatics (xylene, ethylbenzene and toluene) and petroleum products (gasoline, dual purpose kerosene and diesel) from their aqueous solution. Infrared spectroscopy (IR) and expansion tests (adsorption capacity and Foster swelling) measurement were performed in order to evaluate the performance of the adsorbents. The Foster swelling index and adsorption capacity of the DTAB modified calcium bentonite in the organic solvents follow the trend: xylene > ethylbenzene > toluene > gasoline > dual purpose kerosene (DPK) > diesel > water. However, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent in diesel outweighed the adsorption capacity in DPK at high concentration of DTAB indicating that diesel has higher affinity for high DTAB concentration than DPK. The percentage removal of the solvent is directly proportional to the concentration of DTAB used in modifying the bentonite as well as the contact time between the adsorbent and the solvent, hence modified calcium bentonite adsorbed a higher percentage of organic solvents than the unmodified calcium bentonite. The adsorption characteristics of both adsorbents improved remarkably after proper agitation of the organic solvents, the unmodified calcium bentonite however adsorbed more water than the modified bentonite. Data obtained from adsorption isotherm models confirms that Freundlich adsorption isotherm model was favored more than Langmuir adsorption isotherm model with the correlation factor (R2) of the former tending more towards unity. The adsorption of ethylbenzene using DTAB modified and unmodified calcium bentonites follow a pseudo second order kinetics mechanism, suggesting that the rate determining step of adsorption involves both the adsorbent and the organic solvent.

Desulfurization of atmospheric distillation (DA) gasoline was performed by reactive adsorption on ZnO/ bentonite. The adsorbent was characterized by determining the distribution of particle sizes of zinc oxide powdered, adsorption isotherm and textural characteristics of granulated adsorbent. Adsorption experiments of atmospheric distillation gasoline were performed in continuous system at 280-320oC, 5-25 bar and volume hourly space velocities of 1-1.5 h-1. The adsorption on ZnO/ bentonite has been favored by increased pressure and operating temperature.

The adsorption and desorption behaviour of a cationic polyelectrolyte contacted with wood pulp fibers was determined by total nitrogen analysis using a pyrolysis/chemiluminescence detection system. Dialysed polymer generated an adsorption isotherm of higher affinity than did non-dialysed polymer. Capacity adsorption was maximized at pH 7, but decreased in the presence of alum depending on the dosage. Desorption of non-dialysed polymer was caused by changes in pH above or below 7.0 as well as by addition of alum. However for the alum doses typically encountered in paper manufacturing, significant desorption is unlikely. Nevertheless, the contaminants in non-dialysed polymers do hinder adsorption, and effluents from those processes using both alum and polymer may contain quantities of unadsorbed or desorbed polyelectrolytes which could be damaging to receiving water bodies.

AbstractThis paper presents the corrosion and inhibition behavior of heat-treated EN8 dual-phase steel with ferrite-martensite structure with pectin in 0.5 M sulphuric acid. The corrosion studies were performed using the weight loss method, electrochemical techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization measurements, and impedance spectroscopy. The study was done at different concentrations of pectin in the temperature range of 40 to 70 °C and immersion time of 1, 3, 5, and 7 h. The results showed that the inhibition performance of pectin has enhanced with an increase in pectin concentration and decreased with the temperature and time of exposure. From the weight loss study, highest inhibition efficiency of 76.43% was achieved at 5.0 g/L at 1 h of exposure at 40 °C. The maximum inhibition efficiency of 62% was obtained with 5.0 g/L of pectin at 40 °C by potentiodynamic polarization method. The energy, enthalpy, and entropy of activation and also thermodynamic parameters like free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of adsorption were assessed and discussed. Appropriate adsorption isotherm was fit to the obtained experimental outcomes and achieved Langmuir adsorption isotherm to be the best fit and obeyed physical adsorption. Surface analysis: scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction techniques, atomic force microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray were done with and without the addition of pectin. The metal surface appears to be uniform and smooth in the presence of pectin and adsorption was confirmed by surface analysis.

It has previously been suggested that the reduction in cutting forces obtained by the presence of fluids such as CCl4 on the backface or free surface of the forming chip was due to diffusion of the fluid into the body of the chip in the region of the shear zone. In the present work, experiments with carbon tetrachloride tagged with carbon-14 and with carbon tetrachloride tagged with chlorine-36 were performed with the object of assessing the extent of diffusion of lubricants into the chip when present on the free surface only. The results obtained disprove former hypotheses and suggest that the reduced cutting force is due solely to chemical reaction at the surface of the chip. Confirmation of the sensitivity of the surface of the deforming shear zone to change in surface condition was obtained by removing metal from this region by an electropolishing technique during slow speed cutting. By varying the electropolishing conditions increased or decreased cutting forces could be obtained. It is proposed that the result both of chemical reaction at the surface and of surface removal is to reduce the strain-hardening rate of the metal undergoing shear by reducing the surface barrier to the flow of dislocations out of the metal. The association of the surface reaction of carbon tetrachloride with a change in the strain-hardening characteristics of the metal in the shear zone leads to a classification of the backface phenomenon as a Rehbinder effect and enables this effect to be more closely defined than was hitherto possible. Evidence is also presented which indicates that the backface effect does not contribute to the reduction in cutting forces during rakeface lubrication and is therefore unimportant in practice where flood lubrication of the cutting region invariably occurs.
