There are many who believe that combined heat and power (CHP) will be the norm in building design for the next generation of engineers. A discussion about CHP is not complete until one considers the ...

Adsorption is a phenomenon in which molecules or ions from a fluid phase (gas or liquid) are attracted and retained on the surface of a solid phase (adsorbent). Adsorption is different from absorption ...

Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing global concern, as residues from human medicine, livestock production, and aquaculture can persist in the environment and contribute to the spread of ...

A research team has made a breakthrough in surface science by introducing a new active mechanism of adsorption. Such adsorption-based phenomena, in which molecules are attracted onto a solid surface, ...

Gas physisorption is an important tool for the characterization of porous solids and fine powders. The initial IUPAC report on gas physisorption, published in 1985, was dedicated to the determination ...

Several factors, such as surface area, pore size distribution, temperature, pressure, and the nature of both the gas and porous material, influence the rate and extent of gas sorption. The size and ...
