Nisin sorption on some silica adsorbents in columns was studied. Silica gels, silochromes and sintered glass with various pore diameters, various specific surfaces, etc. were tested. Correlation between the adsorbent adsorption capacity with respect to nisin and the adsorbent pore diameter was observed. The tested silochromes, silica gels with the pore diameters of 70-80 nm and sintered glass with the pore diameters of 65-112 nm had the highest adsorption capacity with respect to nisin.

Modeling ethanol/water adsorption in all-silica zeolites using the real adsorbed solution theory.

J Chem Phys

January 2025

Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Massachusetts Amherst, 686 North Pleasant Street, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003-9303, USA.

A comprehensive set of single-component and binary isotherms were collected for ethanol/water adsorption into the siliceous forms of 185 known zeolites using grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Using these data, a systematic analysis of ideal/real adsorbed-solution theory (IAST/RAST) was conducted and activity coefficients were derived for ethanol/water mixtures adsorbed in different zeolites based on RAST. It was found that activity coefficients of ethanol are close to unity while activity coefficients of water are larger in most zeolites, indicating a positive excess free energy of the mixture.

Predicting per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances removal in pilot-scale granular activated carbon adsorbers from rapid small-scale column tests.

AWWA Water Sci

March 2024

Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, North, Carolina State University, Raleigh, North, Carolina, USA.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) occur widely in drinking water, and consumption of contaminated drinking water is an important human exposure route. Granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption can effectively remove PFAS from water. To support the design of GAC treatment systems, a rapid bench-scale testing procedure and scale-up approach are needed to assess the effects of GAC type, background water matrix, and empty bed contact time (EBCT) on GAC use rates.

Key Laboratory of Modern Preparation of TCM, Ministry of Education, Institute for Advanced Study, Jiangxi University of Chinese Medicine, Nanchang 330004, China. Electronic address:

Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 was used as the templating agent, and ammonium bicarbonate was used as the pore-forming agent to make porous mannitol and porous lactose by the template and pore-forming agent method, respectively. Compared with the template method, the porous particles prepared by the pore-forming agent method have larger pore diameter (320.276 nm and 250.

The number of patients with bone defects caused by trauma and diseases has been increasing year by year. The treatment of bone defects remains a major challenge in clinical practice. Bone scaffolds are increasingly favored for repairing bones, with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) scaffolds emerging as a popular option due to their superior performance.

Herein, the study explores a composite modification approach to enhance the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in sustainable construction by combining accelerated carbonation (AC) and nano-silica immersion (NS). RCA, a major source of construction waste, faces challenges in achieving comparable properties to virgin aggregates. Nano-silica, a potent pozzolan, is added to fill micro-cracks and voids in RCA, improving its bonding and strength.
