Research paper: Adsorption Introduction The picture of Brunauer, Emmett and Teller 's model of multilayer adsorption The process which is called Adsorption is the adhesion of ions, atoms or molecules from different liquid, gas, or solid that dissolved to a surface. The process of adsorption produces a film of the adsorbate on the adsorbent surface. The process of adsorption is quite different from absorption. In absorption the fluid (that is adsorbate) is dissolved …show more content…

The adsorbed quantity is almost always normalized by the adsorbent mass to allow comparison of different materials. Adsorbents
Adsorbents are generally used in the type of rods, spherical pellets, moldings, or monoliths with a hydrodynamic radius between 0.25-5 mm. It is important for them to have high abrasion resistance, high thermal stability and small pore diameters, which results in higher exposed surface area and consequently high capacity for adsorption. For adsorbents also important to have a distinct pore structure that allow gaseous vapors fast transport.

Adsorbents which are most industrial fall into one of three classes:
1) Oxygen-containing compounds -They are typically polar and hydrophilic and usually including materials like silica gel and …show more content…

This heat that is in the form of hot water, can come from any industrial sources also including waste heat from industrial processes, prime heat from solar thermal installations or from the exhaust or water jacket heat of a piston engine or turbine.
Notwithstanding that there are analogy between absorption and adsorption refrigeration, the latter is based on the interaction between gases and solids. The chamber (adsorbtion) of the chiller is full with a solid material (like zeolite, silica gel, alumina and active carbon) which in its neutral state has adsorbed the refrigerant.
When heated, the solid desorbs ( which means releases) refrigerant vapour, which after this is cooled and liquefied. This liquid refrigerant after this allow its cooling effect at the evaporator, by absorbing external heat and turning back into a vapour. In the last stage refrigerant vapour is (re)adsorbed into the

For this lab, zeolite and magnetized zeolite were synthesized and compared with charcoal to find out with would be the most effective in the sequestering of Procion Red dye. Finding the concentration and absorbance of each zeolite, magnetized zeolite, and charcoal, along with a calibration curve, the best adsorbent is determined. Charcoal was the overall best sequestration of the Procion Red dye, since the adsorbent was highest compared to the others. Introduction Pollution has increased in the environment over the years, so the purpose of this experiment is to find the best adsorbent of chemicals to reduce the pollution.

A temperature gradient is formed because the head of the system is now further from the flask. Factors that affect the temperature gradient include the rate of heating and vapor removal from the system’s stillhead. Upon heating, the vapor of compound A rises, reaching a distance at which it no longer has enough energy to maintain its gaseous form; at this point, the molecules re-enter the liquid state. This process of rising up, condensation, and revaporization eventually results in vapor comprising 100% of substance A. This process is then repeated at the boiling point of substance B. The efficiency of this process is reflected by the reflux ratio, which reveals how many condensate drops reenter the stillpot for every distillate drop

Four atoms of iron combine with 3 atoms of oxygen to yield two atoms of ferric (iron) oxide. Ferric oxide is formed when iron is oxidized at low temperatures. The ferric oxide is distinguished by its red color. Combined with other substances it is used as a color in paint. Note that the oxygen has now combined with the iron.

Wasteland is a documentary by Lucy Walker that depicts the lives of selected garbage pickers in Jardim Gramacho – a massive dumpsite found in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. The film is about Vik Muniz’s 2-year journey back to his home country seeking to give back to an impoverished community through making images out of an unusual material – trash. The film featured 7 garbage pickers from the landfill, and each has a story that brought them to their current places. One unique thing about the whole creative process is that the pickers themselves became part of it. Vik imagined that as they work on their own and each other’s images, the pickers will not only show themselves to a broader world that is for now comfortably oblivious of their existence, but also see themselves differently (Fuchs, 2010).

In this lab we used two processes called Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Diffusion is a process that requires no energy and involves smaller non-polar molecules. In Figure 1 you can see the molecules spreading throughout the glass from the area of high concentration, so that the areas with low concentration are filled evenly as well. The other process was osmosis.

Fractional Distillation Kaisha Butz Lab Partner: Jenna Knafo Instructor: Dr. Beatrix Aukszi LA: Paige Swalley 09/23/2014 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to fractionally distill a hexane/toluene mixture and to analyze the fractions. It is hypothesized that the first fraction will contain only hexane, the second a mixture of both, and the third just toluene. In order to separate the toluene and the hexane a Hickman still set-up was used.

Fractional distillation columns may contain a metal sponge, or have glass projections inside the column in order to increase the amount of surface area that the vapour comes into contact with. This causes some of the vapour to condense while in the fractional distillation column. Consequently, it falls back into the liquid reservoir. However, when this liquid to the reservoir, it contains a higher ratio of the more volatile substance than it did originally. This is repeated numerous times in the fractional distillation column and each time the liquid vapourizes, the vapour increases in purity.

Thanks to the boiling chips, the heat is evenly distributed within the flask, which permits a more controlled boil and eliminates the possibility of the liquid in the flask bumping into the condenser[5]. The tedious distillation process is rather simple: the beverage evaporates in the distillation flask and, having no where else to go, enters the condensing tube, where it cools down and is converted back into liquid form. From there on, this liquid flows into the final container, a graduated cylinder [preferably in an ice bath]. The extracted distillate is otherwise known as ethanol, a clear, colorless, flammable liquid, produced through the process of glucose fermentation and frequently used as an intoxicating agent in liquors[6].

Chemistry IA Background information: Introduction: Electrolysis it’s a chemical process that when you pass an electric current into a solution or a liquid that contains ions to separate substances back to their original form. The main components that are required for electrolysis to take a place are:  Electrolyte: it’s a substance that when dissolved in water it ionize and then it will contain free moving ions and without these moving ions the process of electrolysis won’t take place.  Direct current (DC): This current provides the energy needed to discharge the ions in the electrolyte  Electrodes: it’s an object that conducts electricity and it’s used in electrolysis as a bridge between the solution and power supply. A great example
