Chitin extraction from crab shells and synthesis of chitin @metakaolin composite for efficient amputation of Cr (VI) ions. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 252:119065.

Abstract
The present research study combines chitin from shrimp waste with the oxide-rich metakaolin. Metakaolin is a blend of mixed oxides rich in silica and alumina with good adsorbent properties. The chitin@metakaolin (CHt@M.K.) composite was synthesized and characterized using FTIR, SEM, TGA, XRD and XPS techniques. Cr(VI) removal studies were compared for chitin and CHt@M.K. through adsorption. It was found that the adsorption capacity of CHt@M.K. is 278.88 mg/g, almost double that of chitin, at pH 5.0 in just 120 min of adsorption. Isotherm models like Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich were investigated to comprehend the adsorption process. It was revealed that Langmuir adsorption isotherm is most suitable to elucidate Cr(VI) adsorption on CHt@M.K. The adsorption kinetics indicate that pseudo first order was followed, indicating that the physisorption was the process that limited the sorption process rate. The positive enthalpy change (20.23 kJ/mol) and positive entropy change (0.083 kJ/mol K) showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and more random at the solid-liquid interface. The negative free energy change over entire temperature range was an indicator of spontaneity of the process. Apart from all these, the non-covalent interactions between Cr(VI) and composite were explained by quantum calculations based models.

Abstract
A reductive filter paper for selective nitro reduction has been prepared by modification of a pristine cellulose filter paper by Pd/C nanoparticles, as a portable catalyst. The reaction was performed in two different set-ups including (i) filtration and (ii) sealed systems, in the presence of ammonium formate and ex situ generated hydrogen gas reducing agents, respectively. In the sealed system in the presence of H2 gas, the halogenated nitroarenes were completely reduced, while in the filtration system, different derivatives of the nitroarenes were selectively reduced to aryl amines. In both systems, the reduction of nitroarenes to aryl amines was performed with high efficiency and selectivity, comparable to a heterogeneous system. Reaction parameters were comprehensively designed using Design Expert software and then studied. The properties of the catalytic filter paper were studied in detail from the points of view of swellability, shrinkage, reusability, and stability against acidic, alkaline, and oxidative reagents. A novel and efficient catalytic filtration has been developed for the selective reduction of nitro compounds on a Pd/C-doped cellulose filter paper.![]()

Machine-Learned Free Energy Surfaces for Capillary Condensation and Evaporation in Mesopores. ENTROPY 2022; 24:e24010097.

Abstract
Using molecular simulations, we study the processes of capillary condensation and capillary evaporation in model mesopores. To determine the phase transition pathway, as well as the corresponding free energy profile, we carry out enhanced sampling molecular simulations using entropy as a reaction coordinate to map the onset of order during the condensation process and of disorder during the evaporation process. The structural analysis shows the role played by intermediate states, characterized by the onset of capillary liquid bridges and bubbles. We also analyze the dependence of the free energy barrier on the pore width. Furthermore, we propose a method to build a machine learning model for the prediction of the free energy surfaces underlying capillary phase transition processes in mesopores.

Abstract
How adsorbate-adsorbate interaction determines the functional shape of an adsorption isotherm is an important and challenging question. Many models for the adsorption isotherm have been proposed to answer this question. However, a successful fitting of an isotherm on its own is insufficient to prove the correctness of the model assumptions. Instead, starting from the principles of statistical thermodynamics, we propose how adsorbate-adsorbate interactions can be quantified from an isotherm. This was made possible by extending the key tools of solution statistical thermodynamics to adsorbates at the interface, namely, the Kirkwood-Buff and McMillan-Mayer theories, as well as their relationship to the thermodynamic phase stability condition. When capillary condensation and interfacial phase transition are absent, adsorbate-adsorbate interactions can be quantified from an isotherm using the Kirkwood-Buff integrals, and virial coefficients can yield multiple-body interaction between adsorbates. Such quantities can be obtained directly from the fitting parameters for the well-known isotherm models (e.g., Langmuir, BET). The size of the adsorbate cluster involved in capillary condensation and interfacial phase transition can also be evaluated from the isotherm, which was demonstrated for the adsorption isotherm of water on activated carbons of varying pore sizes from the literature. Signatures of isotherm classifications by IUPAC have been characterized in terms of multiple-body interactions between adsorbates.

Abstract
While in most adsorptive separations different mixture components tend to compete for different adsorption sites, we report the existence of cooperative effects in the adsorption of alcohols (ethanol and 1-butanol) from the vapor phase on ZIF-8. The presence of these molecules in binary mixtures leads to an increase in their equilibrium capacities, compared to the pure component isotherms. These effects were first observed when predicting the mixture equilibrium capacities using the ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST) and were also observed via grand canonical Monte Carlo (GC MC) simulations. GC MC simulations showed that the interaction between adsorbate molecules leads to the cooperative effect predicted by IAST. The predicted cooperative adsorption could be confirmed via breakthrough experiments. In these experiments, a "roll-up" of 1-butanol was observed during the regeneration of a ZIF-8 packed column. A dynamic breakthrough model employing IAST was developed and used to explain the effect of the adsorption equilibrium on the dynamic breakthrough profiles.

Abstract
Grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations are performed to study the adsorption of water in realistic CMK-3 and CMK-5 models at 300 K. The adsorption isotherms are characterized by negligible uptake at lower chemical potentials and complete pore filling once the threshold chemical potential is increased. Results for the isosteric heat of adsorption, radial distribution function (O-O and O-H), hydrogen bond statistics and the cluster size distribution of water molecules are presented. The snapshots of GCMC simulations in CMK-3 and CMK-5 models show that the adsorption happens via the formation of water clusters. For the CMK-3 model, it was found that the pore filling occurred via the formation of a single water cluster and a few very small clusters. The water cluster size increased with an increase in pore size of the CMK-3 model. For the CMK-5 model, it was found that the adsorption first occurred in the inner porosity (via cluster formation). There was no adsorption of water in the outer porosity during the filling of the inner porosity. After the inner porosity was completely filled, the water begins to fill the outer porosity. Snapshots from GCMC simulations of the CMK-5 model clearly show that the water adsorption in the outer porosity occurs via the formation and growth of clusters and there was no formation of layers of water in the porosity as seen for nonpolar fluids like nitrogen.

Abstract
Water adsorption on carbonaceous materials has been studied increasingly in the recent years, not only because of its impact on many industrial processes, but also motivated by a desire to understand, at a fundamental level, the distinctive character of directional interactions between water molecules, and between water molecules and other polar groups, such as the functional groups (FGs) at the surfaces of graphene layers. This paper presents an extensive review of recent experimental and theoretical work on water adsorption on various carbonaceous materials, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of how water adsorption in carbonaceous materials relates to the concentration of FGs, their topology (arrangement of the groups) and the structure of the confined space in porous carbons. Arising from this review we are able to propose mechanisms for water adsorption in carbonaceous materials as the adsorbate density increases. The intricate interplay between the roles of FGs and confinement makes adsorption of water on carbon materials very different from that of other simple molecules.

Abstract
Adsorption on activated carbons of five pharmaceutical molecules (ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, paracetamol, and amoxicillin) in aqueous mixtures has been investigated by molecular simulations using the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) method. A virtual nanoporous carbon model based on polyaromatic units with defects and polar-oxygenated sites was used for this purpose. The simulation results show excellent agreement with available experimental data. The adsorption capacities of the carbons for the five drugs were quite different and were linked, essentially, to their molecular dimensions and atom affinities. The uptake behavior follows the trend PRM > DCF, NPX > IBP > AMX in all the studied structures. This work is a further step in order to describe macroscopic adsorption performance of activated carbons in drug removal applications.

Abstract
The behavior of water at hydrophobic interfaces can play a significant role in determining chemical reaction outcomes and physical properties. Carbon nanotubes and aluminophosphate materials have one-dimensional hydrophobic channels, which are entirely surrounded by hydrophobic interfaces. Unique water behavior was observed in such hydrophobic channels. In this article, changes in the water affinity in one-dimensional hydrophobic channels were assessed using water vapor adsorption isotherms at 303 K and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations. Hydrophobic behavior of water adsorbed in channels wider than 3 nm was observed for both adsorption and desorption processes, owing to the hydrophobic environment. However, water showed hydrophilic properties in both adsorption and desorption processes in channels narrower than 1 nm. In intermediate-sized channels, the hydrophobic properties of water during the adsorption process were seen to transition to hydrophilic behavior during the desorption process. Hydrophilic properties in the narrow channels for both adsorption and desorption processes are a result of the relatively strong water-channel interactions (10-15 kJ mol(-1)). In the 2-3 nm channels, the water-channel interaction energy of 4-5 kJ mol(-1) was comparable to the thermal translational energy. The cohesive water interaction was approximately 35 kJ mol(-1), which was larger than the others. Thus, the water affinity change in the 2-3 nm channels for the adsorption and desorption processes was attributed to weak water-channel interactions and strong cohesive interactions. These results are inherently important to control the properties of water in hydrophobic environments.

Abstract
Ordered mesoporous CMK carbons and periodic mesoporous organosilica (PMO) materials have been characterized by combining nitrogen (77.4 K) and argon (87.3 K) adsorption with recently developed quenched solid density functional theory (QSDFT). Systematic, high-resolution water adsorption experiments have been performed in the temperature range from 298 to 318 K in order to ascertain the effect of surface chemistry (using periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) of given pore size) and pore size/pore geometry (using CMK-3, CMK-8 carbons) on the adsorption, pore filling, condensation and hysteresis behavior. These data reveal how the interplay between confined geometry effects and the strength of the adsorption forces influence the adsorption, wetting, and phase behavior of pore fluids. Further, our results indicate that water adsorption is quite sensitive to both small changes in pore structure and surface chemistry, showing the potential of water adsorption as a powerful complementary tool for the characterization of nanoporous solids.

Abstract
Water adsorption hysteresis is one of the most important phenomena observed during the interaction of water with hydrophobic surfaces. Adsorption hysteresis in micropores has strong relevance to the structure of adsorbed water. We used three typical models (cluster, monolayer, and uniform distribution structure models) to determine the structure of the water molecules adsorbed in hydrophobic slit-shaped carbon micropores. In each model, stabilization energy profiles were calculated for various fractional fillings by using the interaction potential theory. Simultaneously, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of water adsorbed in the micropore of 1.1 nm pore width, which shows significant adsorption hysteresis, were performed to determine the kinetics of the observed structural transformations. The transformations between monolayer and cluster were slow, that is, kinetically forbidden at the fractional filling of 0.2 and 0.6, whereas the cluster-uniform distribution structure and uniform distribution structure-monolayer transformations were kinetically allowed. The kinetically forbidden transformation resulted in the occurrence of metastable structure of adsorbed water and was responsible for the observed adsorption hysteresis.

Abstract
We present results from molecular dynamics simulations of water confined by two parallel atomically detailed hydrophobic walls. Simulations are performed at T = 300 K and wall-wall separation d = 0.6-1.6 nm. At 0.7 < or = d < or = 0.9 nm, a first order transition occurs between a bilayer liquid (BL) and a trilayer heterogeneous fluid (THF) as water density increases. The THF is characterized by a liquid (central) layer and two crystal-like layers next to the walls. The BL-THF transition involves freezing of the two surface layers in contact with the walls. At d = 0.6 nm, the THF transforms into a bilayer ice (BI) upon decompression. Both the BL-THF and BI-THF transitions are induced by the surface regular atomic-scale structure.

Abstract
The effects of adsorbate on the adsorption in a bundle of carbon nanotubes are investigated to explore the preferential adsorption over various adsorption sites: inside the tube, in the cusp interstices and in the square interstices outside the tubes. This is carried out with the Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulation and the simulation results are tested against the experimental results of bundles of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCN). With regard to adsorbate, we choose argon and nitrogen to represent simple fluids and water to represent strong associating fluids with strong orientation interaction. The preferential adsorption of argon and nitrogen depends on the tube size. For tube size smaller than 10.8 A, adsorption inside the tube is preferred because the solid-fluid potential is greatest in the tube interiors. While for larger tubes adsorption occurs initially in the small cusp interstices between the tubes, and as adsorption is progressed adsorption occurs inside the tube as well as the larger square interstices. At higher pressures capillary condensation occurs in the square interstices. For water, however, the adsorption mechanism is different. Its adsorption occurs dominantly inside the tube, irrespective of the tube size. This is due to the requirement of appropriate geometry to allow hydrogen bonding among water molecules to occur. The small cusp interstices do not provide proper space for clusters of hydrogen bonded waters, while the larger square interstices are too large and hence the solid-fluid potential is not strong enough to induce adsorption unless the partial pressure is sufficiently high. Finally the model of these fluids and carbon nanotube is tested with the experimental data of a commercial SWCN, and the simulation results are in agreement with the data.

Abstract
We discuss the thermodynamics of adsorption of fluids in pores when the solid-fluid interactions lead to partial wetting of the pore walls, a situation encountered, for example, in water adsorption in porous carbons. Our discussion is based on calculations for a lattice gas model of a fluid in a slit pore treated via mean field density functional theory (MFDFT). We calculate contact angles for pore walls as a function of solid-fluid interaction parameter, alpha, in the model, using Young's equation and the interfacial tensions calculated in MFDFT. We consider adsorption and desorption in both infinite pores and in finite length pores in contact with the bulk. In the latter case, contact with the bulk can promote evaporation or condensation, thereby dramatically reducing the width of hysteresis loops. We show how the observed behavior changes with alpha. By using a value of alpha that yields a contact angle of about 85 degrees and maintaining the bulk fluid in a supersaturated vapor state on adsorption, we find an adsorption/desorption isotherm qualitatively similar to those for graphitized carbon black where pore condensation occurs at supersaturated bulk vapor states in the spaces between the primary particles of the adsorbent.
