Article Abstract

We present a new method for calculating the diffusion tensor for the systems of sorbates inside nanoporous materials at different loadings by just using transition rate constants. In addition, a user-friendly program with graphical user interface has been developed and is freely provided to be used (https://sourceforge.net/projects/kobra/). It needs from the user just to provide the values of the unit cell lengths and angles, the transition rate constants for each sorbate, and any spatial constraint between these sorbates. This program is shown to be about 30 times faster than kinetic Monte Carlo method. Application of the method to the problem of diffusion of aromatics in silicalite-1 at different loadings is presented too. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Connecting the evidence about organic pollutant sorption on soils with environmental regulation and decision-making: A scoping review.

There exists an increase of review articles of pollutant sorption on soils due to the relevance of this process in environmental fate. However, this information is not used to make environmental decisions. We conduct a scoping review to identify and categorize the state-of-the-art of pesticide sorption (organic pollutant model) and decision-making studies in 2015-2020 using databases (Web of Science, Scopus and ScieLo) to detect potential gaps and create a framework that guide the connection between scientific evidence and its institutionalization.

Delta Chem: A New Geometric Approach of Porosity for Symmetric Porous Materials.

J Chem Inf Model

Porous materials, such as zeolites and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and zeolitic-organic frameworks (ZIFs), are frequently considered for shape-selective separations, molecular storage, and catalysis applications, mainly due to their hollow structures. The amount and chemical nature of sorbate molecules that may (or may not) be fitted inside their cavities, and hence the bulk of their applications, depend on their internal structure, that is, on their surface areas, available volumes, and shapes of their porosities. However, experimentally, the access to such strucutral information is somewhat limited and computationally can be expensive to calculate for structures of more than 100 atoms.

Highly porous carbon from a natural cellulose fiber as high efficiency sorbent for lead in waste water.

The persistence of hollow centre in the carbon obtained from milkweed floss provides exceptional sorption characteristics, not seen in common biomasses or their derivatives. A considerably high sorption of 320mg of lead per gram of milkweed carbon was achieved without any chemical modification to the biomass. In this research, we have carbonized milkweed floss and used the carbon as a sorbent for lead in waste water.

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to provide an atomic description of the behavior of naphthalene and anthracene in NaX zeolite. The force field parameters, which were selected in this process, were chosen carefully to examine dependence of the self-diffusion coefficient of sorbates over a wide range of loading, temperature, and pressure. The simulated adsorption isotherm and calculated adsorption energies at low concentration were found to be in a reasonable qualitative and quantitative agreement with the corresponding scarce experimental data which can evaluate the effectiveness of proposed calculation method and force field parameters.
