The thermodynamic properties and siting of carbon dioxide and methane sorbed in the siliceous form of zeolite MCM-22, ITQ-1, were studied by means of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation. ITQ-1 comprises two independent pore systems of different geometry. It was found to be CO(2)-selective toward CO(2)/CH(4) gas mixtures, its equilibrium selectivity being distinctly higher in its sinusoidal channel pore system than in the large cavity system over a wide range of pressures starting from the Henry law regime, at the three temperatures considered. A maximum in selectivity is observed at low temperature, high pressure, and methane-rich gas-phase composition.

The rapid development in agriculture and industrial sectors has raised some serious global issues like heavy metals pollution of water resources. Cadmium (Cd) is amongst the major water pollutants worldwide. In this study, two novel sorbents were prepared by using post-consumer textile waste (PCTW).

The retention and mobility of arsenic (As) in soil depend on various physical and chemical factors. The knowledge of the sorption-desorption chemistry of As in soil is necessary for predicting the fate and behavior of As in soil environments. Therefore, this study assessed different organic (sugarcane bagasse and vermicompost) and inorganic amendments (steel slag and fly ash) for their impact on sorption-desorption of As in texturally different contaminated soils (of sandy clay (SC) and sandy clay loam (SCL) texture) to understand the effect of amendments on As retention and mobility.

In this article, we provide an overview of hydrogen storage materials, taking our previous results as examples. Towards the end of the paper, we present a case study in order to highlight the effects of substitutional alloying, compositional additives, and nanostructuring on the hydrogen sorption properties of magnesium-based intermetallics. Specifically, partial substitution of Mg by Li and d-elements by p-elements leads to structural changes, inducing disorder and the formation of high-entropy alloys.

Our recent study demonstrated that fulvic and humic acids are the major contributors to the adsorption of phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides in soils. At very low pH, the neutral forms of these herbicides are bound directly to fulvic and humic acids, whereas at higher pH, their anionic forms are adsorbed mainly via bridges created by Al species. The number of active sorption sites associated with Al species complexed with fulvic acids is pH-dependent, whereas the number of corresponding sites in humic acids is pH-independent.

Context: Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) is highly hygroscopic, which poses significant challenges in its practical applications. Consequently, mitigating this hygroscopic nature has been a primary focus in the research and development of ADN. This study investigated the properties of the ADN/3-amino-4-nitrofurazan (ANF) cocrystal using density functional theory, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods.
