Adsorption Behavior of Volatile Organic Compounds in Metal -Organic Frameworks
… was applied to a commercially available MOF, ZIF-8, with greatly different geometric and chemical properties from the other MOFs. A molecular-sieving effect was observed preventing the adsorption of branched-alkanes, aromatics, and heavily halogenated compounds. Hydrogen-bonding …

Use of magnetic nanoparticles for wastewater treatment
Contamination of marine sediments and water environments by urban runoffs, industrial and domestic effluents and oil spills is proving to be of critical concern as they affect aquatic organisms and can quickly disperse to large distances as highlighted by the recent Gulf oil spill disaster. …

The Electrochemical Nature of Non-Faradaic Catalysis at Interfaces
… at solid-liquid interfaces. Yet, the role of electrical polarization in non-faradaic heterogeneous catalysis remains poorly understood, primarily for two reasons. First, it is difficult to monitor electrical polarization at interfaces that are not connected to macroscopic wires. Such …

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF SUBSTRATE POROSITY, MORPHOLOGY, AND FLEXIBILITY ON THE EQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMICS AND KINETICS OF ADSORPTION FOR ATOMIC AND MOLECULAR ADSORBATES
<p>Five systems consisting of different sorbate-sorbent combinations were studied using experimental volumetric adsorption techniques. Multiple adsorption isotherms were measured at low temperatures and low pressures for all of the systems studied which included CO2 adsorption on single walled …

Adsorption behavior of volatile organic componds in metal-organic frameworks
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the applicability of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to the adsorption of trace level of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the gas phase. The adsorption of VOCs on high surface area materials is an important process for many applications including …
