Experimental System of Solar Adsorption Refrigeration with Concentrated Collector

With solar energy as the driving force, a novel adsorption refrigeration system has been developed and experimentally investigated. Water vapor and zeolite formed the working pair of the adsorption system. This manuscript describes the setup of the experimental rig, the operation procedure, and the important...

Preparation of Functional Silica Using a Bioinspired Method

Here, we present a protocol to synthesize bioinspired silica materials and immobilize enzymes therein. Silica is synthesized by combining sodium silicate and an amine 'additive', which neutralize at a controlled rate. Material properties and function can be altered either by in situ enzyme immobilization or post-synthetic acid elution of encapsulated...

Surface area and pore size distribution are attributes used by adsorbent and catalyst manufacturers and users to ensure quality control and to determine when products are at the end of their useful lives. The surface area of a porous solid is directly related to its adsorption capacity or catalytic activity. The pore size distribution of an adsorbent or catalyst is...

Study of Short Peptide Adsorption on Solution Dispersed Inorganic Nanoparticles Using Depletion Method

The first step in comprehending biomolecule-inorganic solid phase interaction is revealing fundamental physicochemical constants that may be evaluated by establishing adsorption isotherms. Adsorption from the liquid phase is restricted by kinetics, surface capacity, pH, and competitive adsorption, which all should be cautiously considered before setting an adsorption...
