Adsorption of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) onto silica gel from aqueous solutions

Zbadano przebieg procesu adsorpcji anionowej substancji powierzchniowo czynnej SDBS (dodecylobenzenosulfonianu sodu) na drobnoziarnistym (0,2÷0,5 mm, Merck) oraz gruboziarnistym żelu krzemionkowym (2÷5 mm, Chempur) w układach nieprzepływowym (test naczyniowy) i przepływowym (reaktor rurowy). Określono kinetykę procesu adsorpcji oraz wpływ ilości żelu krzemionkowego i stężenia SDBS na wartość adsorpcji. Wykazano, że adsorpcja SDBS w układzie nieprzepływowym na gruboziarnistym żelu krzemionkowym była zdecydowanie mniejsza niż w układzie przepływowym. Wyniki adsorpcji SDBS na drobnoziarnistym żelu krzemionkowym porównano z danymi literaturowymi analizując nadmiarowe izotermy adsorpcji z roztworów dwuskładnikowych.Adsorption of the anionic surfactant SDBS (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate) onto fine-grained (0.2-0.5 mm, Merck) and coarse-grained (2-5 mm, Chempur) silica gels was investigated under static (jar test) and dynamic (pipe reactor) conditions. The kinetics of the adsorption process was established, and the influence of both silica gel mass and SDBS concentration on the extent of adsorption was analyzed. SDBS adsorption onto 2-5 mm silica gel granules was found to be noticeably lower when conducted under static than under dynamic conditions. The results of SDBS adsorption onto 0.2-0.5 mm silica gel granules were compared with relevant literature data by analyzing excess isotherms of adsorption from two-component solutions

Photoreduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen using temperature programmed method

The photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen was studied by Temperature-Programmed Surface Reaction (TPSR). This process was carried out in a flow reactor that was especially designed and constructed for this purpose. Titanium dioxide (TiO2, Degussa P-25) was used as supports for platinum, ruthenium and nickel catalysts. The experimental results indicated that the activity of photoreduction of CO2 changes as follows: Ru/TiO2> Ni/TiO2>= Pt/TiO2> TiO2

ToF-SIMS studies of the surface of Pd/ZrO2-TiO2 catalyst used in the hydrodechlorination process

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was used in order to obtain the information about the surface composition of Pd/ZrO2-TiO2 catalyst and to estimate the changes in the concentration of particular components on its surface during the hydrodechlorination of CCl4. The results demonstrated that the hydrodechlorination process led to the increase in the concentration of chlorine and the drop in the amount of surface accessible palladium, while the quantity of Pd-Cl bounds did not change considerably. It suggested that the presence of ZrO2 protected the surface of the studied catalyst against the formation of PdCI2

Characteristic of physicochemical properties of Pd/MgO catalysts used in the hydrodechlorination process with CCl4

The aim of this paper was to investigate the physicochemical properties of palladium catalyst containing basic support MgO which was used in hydrodechlorination reaction with carbon tetrachloride. In order to characterize the investigated sample the catalyst was put to tests of XRD, TOF - SIMS, TG-DTA-MS and TPR(H2), measurements, activity tests were also performed. The XRD and TPR results demonstrated the presence of PdOxCly species whose decomposition takes place above 700°C. The calcination of the Pd/MgO catalyst at 700°C resulted in the transformation of PdOxCly to PdO

Performance Evaluation of Signaling in the IP QoS System

The IP QoS System is based on next generation networks (NGN) and differentiated services (DiffServ) architectures. Its main part is a signaling system, which allows to send a request from a user to the system for establishing new connection with predefined quality of service assurance. In this paper we present trial results of the proposed signalling system. The experiments were performed to measure setup delay utilizing artificial call generator/analyzer. To obtain results we assumed different distributions of interarrival and call holding times based on the literature. The results show that the setup delay strongly depends on access time to network devices, however also on the assumed call holding time models
