The dynamic capacity of the commercial desiccant (NaX zeolite) and the adsorbent, synthesised based on low-temperature modifications of aluminium oxide, obtained from bayerite-containing hydroxide, was determined with respect to water vapour. Experimental studies were carried out using a pilot installation at the atmospheric pressure and increased pressure (up to 0.6 MPa) and high humidity. The increase in the height of the layer of the adsorbents leads to an increase of their dynamic capacity with respect to water vapour and the protective power (action) time of the layer. It was shown that at the atmospheric pressure and the pressure of up to 0.3 MPa, the dynamic capacity of NaX is greater; at a higher pressure, the adsorption capacity of the developed adsorbent Al2O3 becomes greater than the zeolite capacity, which allows recommending it as a desiccant at increased pressure.

Abstract The plant reactions on Al-stress include i.a. change of the surface area of the roots, which in the physicochemistry of plants characterizes the transport of water and ions through the root. The object of this study is the specific surface area of the roots of plants which are tolerant to aluminium, such as rye. Plants of rye were grown in a nutrient solution for 14 days at pH 4.5 in the presence of Al3+ ions of concentration 10, 20, and 40 mg dm−3. The control plants were grown continuously at pH 7 or pH 4.5 without Al3+. The apparent surface area and adsorption energy of the plants roots were determined from water vapour adsorption – desorption data. The apparent surface area of roots growing in the aluminium was (with respect to control) statistically significantly lower. There were no statistically significant differences in the apparent surface area of the roots which grew in pH 7, pH 4.5 without Al3+. The average water vapour adsorption energy of the root surface, under stress conditions decreased. In the roots grown in the presence of Al+3, there was a slight decrease in high energy adsorption centres and an increase in the amount of low-energy centres.

AbstractThe amorphous aluminosilicate allophane was synthesized by rapid mixing of inorganic solutions with high initial concentrations (10 – 100 mmol/l) followed by hydrothermal treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed homogeneous products having a hollow spherical amorphous structure with a particle diameter of 3 – 5 nm. The amorphous products had a high BET specific surface area (490 – 552 m2/g) in comparison with natural allophane and had a narrow pore-size distribution (2 – 5 nm in diameter). The results of water vapour adsorption isotherm studies showed a gradual increase over the range of relative water vapour pressure of 0.6 – 0.9 and reached a maximum of ∼85 wt.%. The synthetic allophane shows promise as an adsorbent material because of its high adsorption-desorption capacity and its unique structure.
