a b s t r a c tIn this research, batch adsorption of anionic dye Eosin-B (EB) onto anion exchange membrane (AEM) (BI) from aqueous solution has been investigated at room temperature. The effect of some operating conditions such as contact time, membrane dosage, initial dye concentration and temperature on the percentage removal of EB from aqueous solution has been investigated in detail. Moreover, adsorption kinetics has been analyzed using different models such as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, liquid film diffusion, modified Freundlich and Bangham models. Results show that adsorption data fits to the pseudo-second order kinetics very well. Non-linear isotherms containing two parameters and three parameters isotherms have been applied on experimental data. Different thermodynamic parameters such as Gibb's free energy (DG°), enthalpy (DH°), and entropy (DS°) have been calculated, which shows that adsorption of EB onto anion exchange membrane (B1) is an exothermic process.
Building shape-stable phase change materials (PCMs) are crucial for their practical applications. Particularly, it is vital to utilize renewable/recyclable biomass media as the support material of form-stable PCMs. In this review article, we summarized the recent developments for building form-stable PCMs consisting of wood as a supporting material, either carbonized wood or wood composites. Moreover, the electrothermal conversion and photothermal conversion of form-stable PCMs based on carbonized wood are also demonstrated. In addition, the current technical problems and future research developments of wood-based PCMs are discussed, especially the leakage problem of PCMs during the phase change transition process. All of this information will be helpful for the in-depth understanding and development of new PCMs suitable for wide application perspectives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
