Innovative Use of Wood Ash for Fluoride Removal from Water: Comprehensive Experiments and Mechanism Insight by Jae-In Lee, Jin-Kyu Kang, Sanghyun Jeong, Chang-Gu Lee, Joon-Weon Choi, Seong-Jik Park

“…Equilibrium analysis demonstrated that WA exhibits a Langmuir maximum capacity of 157.34 mg/g, indicating a high adsorption capacity that ranks within the top 10% of reported adsorbents (34th out of 328). According to thermodynamic analysis, the adsorption process appears to be both endothermic and spontaneous at elevated temperatures. pH dependence studies showed that while the fluoride adsorption capacity of WA peaked under acidic conditions, it remained relatively stable (116.01 ± 0.8 mg/g) over a wide range of pH levels (5 to 11). …”

Stability of reinforcements (CrB2/TiB2) and lubricants (C/MoS2) in Cu matrix during the sintering process by Chen Zhang, Lei Jia, Jia-mei Zhang, Wu Pan, Zhen-lin Lu, Zhi-guo Xing

“…Then, microstructure and phase composition of the composites resulted from 10%CrB2–Cu, 10%TiB2–Cu, 10%MoS2–Cu, 10%C–Cu, 10%CrB2–10%C–Cu, 10%TiB2–10%C–Cu, 10%CrB2–10%MoS2–Cu and 10%TiB2–10%MoS2–Cu powder systems were investigated systematically, Subsequently, the potential decomposition and reaction behavior was discussed based thermodynamic analysis. Results show that single CrB2, TiB2 or C phase can exist stably in copper matrix, but MoS2 is prone to react with Cu to form Cu2S and Mo2S3. …”

Biosynthesis and Characterization of Iron Nanoparticles for Effective Adsorption of Cr(VI) by Emel Simla Önal, Tolga Yatkın, Tural Aslanov, Memduha Ergüt, Ayla Özer

“…Weber–Morris model was used to investigate the effect of mass transfer on the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto FeNPs; it was observed that both the film (boundary layer) and intraparticle diffusion affected the studied adsorption process. The thermodynamic studies suggested that Cr(VI) adsorption onto FeNPs was endothermic and nonspontaneous, and the positive ΔS value indicated increased disorder at the solid-solution interface during the adsorption.…”
