Study of Barium Adsorption from Aqueous Solutions Using Copper Ferrite and Copper Ferrite/rGO Magnetic Adsorbents by B. Carmel Jeeva Mary, J. Judith Vijaya, M. Bououdina, L. Khezami, A. Modwi, M. Ismail, Stefano Bellucci

“…The pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), and Elovich models were fitted to the kinetic data, the yielded R2 value of 0.9993 (PSO) for CF and 0.9994 (PSO) for CG which is greater than the other two models, which signify that the adsorption process is chemisorption. Thermodynamic studies show that barium adsorption using CF and CG adsorbents is endothermic. …”

Synthesis of Specific ZnF Based Nanoparticles (ZnFe2O4): Antimicrobial Properties, Surface Characteristics, and Adsorption Activity for AB 29 Textile Dye by Ferda Gönen, Gökhan Tekinerdoğan

“…It was observed that pseudo-second-order kinetic model best represented AB 29-ZnF adsorption kinetic data. The determined thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG were proved that the AB 29-ZnF adsorption system was an exothermic (ΔH < 0), spontaneous, thermodynamically favorable (ΔG < 0), and stabilized system without any structural changes in sorbate and sorbents (ΔS<0).…”

Dutasteride nanoemulsion preparation to inhibit 5‐alpha‐hair follicle reductase enzymes in the hair follicle; an ex vivo study by Mehri Memar Bashi Aval, Elham Hoveizi, Reza Mombeiny, Mostafa Kazemi, Saeedeh Saeedi, Shima Tavakol

“…Results showed the lower ratio of S/Co (higher ethanol concentration) increased the hydrodynamic nanocarriers' particle size due to thermodynamic disturbance and Ostwald ripening. In contrast, an increase in surfactant through a decrease in interfacial tension resulted in smaller nanocarriers of 32.4 nm. …”
