Uses of Ozone in a Three-Phase System for Water Treatment: Ozone Adsorption

A new technique of using ozone for water treatment is presented. This new technique consists of using a three-step-process composed firstly of ozone adsorption on an appropriate adsorbent, secondly water treatment, and thirdly regeneration of the adsorbent. Results regarding ozone adsorption (the first step) are presented in this paper. Different types of silica gel and a type of TiO₂ have been tested for ozone adsorption. It was found that the physical characteristics of the silica gel affect its capacity for ozone. Titanium dioxide has shown ozone decomposition instead of adsorption as it contains Lewis acid sites. An exponential decrease of the silica gel capacity with its moisture content has been found. Linear isotherms in the range of ozone concentrations less than 100?g/m³ NTP have been found. A particle diffusion model with linear equilibrium isotherm has been used to model the breakthrough curves in fixed bed columns.

Speed–accuracy tradeoff in Fitts’ law tasks—on the equivalency of actual and nominal pointing precision

Pointing tasks in human–computer interaction obey certain speed–accuracy tradeoff rules. In general, the more accurate the task to be accomplished, the longer it takes and vice versa. Fitts’ law models the speed–accuracy tradeoff effect in pointing as imposed by the task parameters, through Fitts’ index of difficulty (I_d) based on the ratio of the nominal movement distance and the size of the target. Operating with different speed or accuracy biases, performers may utilize more or less area than the target specifies, introducing another subjective layer of speed–accuracy tradeoff relative to the task specification. A conventional approach to overcome the impact of the subjective layer of speed–accuracy tradeoff is to use the a posteriori “effective” pointing precision W_e in lieu of the nominal target width W. Such an approach has lacked a theoretical or empirical foundation. This study investigates the nature and the relationship of the two layers of speed–accuracy tradeoff by systematically controlling both I_d and the index of target utilization I_u in a set of four experiments. Their results show that the impacts of the two layers of speed–accuracy tradeoff are not fundamentally equivalent. The use of W_e could indeed compensate for the difference in target utilization, but not completely. More logical Fitts’ law parameter estimates can be obtained by the W_e adjustment, although its use also lowers the correlation between pointing time and the index of difficulty. The study also shows the complex interaction effect between I_d and I_u, suggesting that a simple and complete model accommodating both layers of speed–accuracy tradeoff may not exist.     

An accurate volumetric differential pressure method for the determination of hydrogen storage capacity at high pressures in carbon materials

Widely different hydrogen adsorption capacities have been reported for a variety of carbon materials which have attracted attention for hydrogen storage. This has led to doubts as to the validity of some of the claims and it has been suggested that one possible reason for the disparate hydrogen sorption capacities may lie in the inaccurate measurement of the hydrogen adsorbed. The aim of the work described in this paper was to make a contribution to this debate by developing a means and method of producing repeatable, accurate measurements of hydrogen sorption capacity in carbon materials. The apparatus developed is a volumetric differential pressure set-up operating at up to 10 MPa and the method has a conservative limit of detection of 0.1 wt% and an accuracy of ±0.05 wt%, using 1.0-2.5 g samples of the carbon materials studied. These included a carbon nanofiber sample and a series of activated carbons, the latter displaying a direct correlation between the BET effective surface area and the hydrogen sorption capacity of the materials. The amount of hydrogen adsorbed was less than 1 wt% for all the carbons examined.

Understanding chemical reactions between carbons and NaOH and KOH: An insight into the chemical activation mechanism

Direct mixing of an anthracite with hydroxides (KOH or NaOH) and heat treatment up to 730 °C has shown to be a very good activation procedure to obtain activated carbons with very high surface areas and high micropore volumes. The reactions involved during the heat treatment of these hydroxide/anthracite mixtures have been analysed to deep into the fundamental of the knowledge of this chemical activation process, that has not been studied before. For this purpose, the present paper analyses the drying process, the atmosphere during the carbonisation, the chemical state of the activating agents (NaOH, KOH and Na₂CO₃) and the chemical reactions occurring during the heat treatment which have been followed by FTIR and TPD. The analysis of our results allows us to conclude that steam is a good atmosphere for the carbonisation process, alone or joined with nitrogen, but not as good as pure nitrogen. On the other hand, during the activation process, the presence of CO₂ should be avoided because it does not develop porosity. The reactions, and chemical changes, involved during this chemical process are discussed both from a thermodynamical point of view as well as identifying the reaction products (H₂ by TPD and Na₂CO₃ by FTIR). As a result, this paper helps to cover the present lack of understanding of the fundamentals of the reactions of an anthracite with hydroxides which are necessary to understand the activation of the material.

Electrochemical behaviour of phenylethanolamine at gold in aqueous solution

The electrooxidation of phenylethanolamine (2-amino-1-phenylethanol) at a gold electrode in alkaline electrolyte has been studied. Measurement of the differential capacitance of the electric double layer versus the electrode potential has shown that the adsorption of phenylethanolamine at the gold-solution interface plays a significant role in the oxidation mechanism. The effect of amine concentration, electrolyte pH and potential scan rate on the electrooxidation is analysed.     

Dissociative adsorption of small molecules at vacancies on the graphite (0 0 0 1) surface

The adsorption of molecular and atomic hydrogen as well as other molecules in the atmosphere on vacancies in the (0 0 0 1) graphite surface are investigated using density functional theory. Atomic hydrogen adsorbs with energies ranging from 4.7 to 2.3 eV. The validity of the model is confirmed by the good agreement between calculated vibrational spectra and those of high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. It is shown that molecular hydrogen dissociates with a barrier of 1.1 eV on this model system. Water and oxygen also dissociate with respective barriers of 1.6 and 0.2 eV. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen have no interaction with the defect whereas carbon monoxide is incorporated into the vacancy with an activation energy of 1.5 eV. A comparison is made with the reactivity of graphene edges, both zigzag and armchair.
