Adsorption of Phenol from Aqueous Solution on to Activated Carbon. Effect of Solvent, Temperature and Particle Size by R. Leyva-Ramos, J.H. Soto Zuñiga, J. Mendoza Barron, R.M. Guerrero Coronado

“…It was found that in the aqueous solution the amount of phenol adsorbed is greater than that in the cyclohexane solution, which was attributed to the fact that phenol has a higher affinity for cyclohexane than for water. Furthermore, the results revealed that in aqueous solution the amount of phenol adsorbed increased when the particle size decreased and was slightly reduced by an increase in the temperature; however, in cyclohexane solution, the amount of phenol adsorbed was independent of particle size and considerably reduced by increasing temperature.…”

Observed Performance and FEM-Based Parametric Analysis of a Top-Down Deep Excavation in Soil-Rock Composite Stratum by Gang Lei, Panpan Guo, Fucai Hua, Xiaonan Gong, Lina Luo

“…Based on the observed data of a typical deep excavation case history for the May Fourth Square Station in Tsingtao, China, the characteristics of the horizontal and vertical pile displacements, ground surface settlements, building settlements, axial forces in ground anchors, earth pressure, and pore water pressure during excavation were analysed. Two-dimensional finite element simulations were carried out to further explore the deformation and internal force responses of end-suspended piles and to capture the effects of pile diameter, embedded depth, and rock-socketed depth on the horizontal displacement and bending moment distributions along the pile shaft. …”
