Boson Peak and Superstructural Groups in Na2O-B2O3 Glasses by Armenak A. Osipov, Leyla M. Osipova

“…Six types of the areas of ordered arrangement of atoms were determined, being related to the presence of the B3O3⌀3 boroxol rings, B3O3⌀4- triborate rings, B5O6⌀4- pentaborate groups, B8O10⌀62- tetraborate groups, B4O5⌀42- diborate groups, and B3O63- cyclic metaborate anions in the sodium borate glasses. It was shown that the size of the areas of ordered arrangement of atoms can be determined from the simple geometric analysis of the crystallographic data on the superstructural units.…”

Investigation of Taguchi optimization, equilibrium isotherms, and kinetic modeling for phosphorus adsorption onto natural zeolite of clinoptilolite type by Bahareh Razmi, Reza Ghasemi-Fasaei

“…Results showed that the adsorption of phosphorus in the presence of Fe 3+ and Al 3+ was higher than that in the absence of these two cations probably due to the adsorption of phosphorus-bearing anions on opposite charges of these cations. Also, increase in contact time tended phosphorus adsorption to be increased. …”
