First, we will discuss what is required to achieve a large surface stress signal to improve sensitivity. Second, a mechanism to achieve an optimal probe density is described that improves the signal-to-noise ratio and response times of the sensor. Lastly, lifetime and long term measurements are discussed. PMCID: PMC4480947 PMID: 26146600
· Resonance enhanced second harmonic generation (SHG) has been used to identify solvation mechanisms at different solid/liquid interfaces. Solvation interactions are characterized as being either nonspecific and averaged over the entire solute cavity or specific, referring to localized, directional interactions between a solute and its surroundings. SHG spectra report the electronic …
· Thallium is an extremely toxic metal which, due to its similarities to K, is readily taken up by plants grown in Tl-contaminated soils. Thallium is also a precious metal nearly as economically valuable as gold. Thallium is efficiently hyperaccumulated in Iberis intermedia as aqueous Tl(I) with highest concentrations within the vascular network of leaves.
· Surfaces prepared by self-assembly of alkanethiolates onto thin (10 nm) gold films supported on glass have been used as substrates for surface force measurements between macroscopic surfaces. Surface roughness, the order in the monomolecular film, wetting properties, and their stability in aqueous electrolyte solutions have been investigated using atomic force microscopy, …
Chapter 9 Adsorption 9.1 Introduction Adsorption: (i) the principle ways in which high-energy interfaces lower the overall energy of a system. (ii) A complex process which is different to be described precisely by theoretical model. Definition of Adsorption : Preferential concentration of …
The porous nature and surface structure of the macadamia shell based activated carbon were examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) at various stages of manufacture. In addition, gold loading studies were carried out in conjunction with elemental mapping of the activated carbon surface to determine the gold adsorption sites.
· We find that single- and double-stranded oligonucleotides have different propensities to adsorb on gold nanoparticles in colloidal solution. We use this observation to design a hybridization assay based on color changes associated with gold aggregation. Because the underlying adsorption mechanism is electrostatic, no covalent functionalization of the gold, the probe, or the target DNA is …
· The adsorption of proteins on the dental implant surface is the first step in the key role of osseointegration. Many types of proteins exist in the living body and compete for adsorption on the material surface. As an implant material, partially stabilized zirconia (ZrO 2 ) is currently an attractive alternative to titanium to overcome the shortcomings of titanium implants.
The need to design low-cost adsorbents for the detoxification of industrial effluents has been a growing concern for most environmental researchers. So modelling of experimental data from adsorption processes is a very important means of predicting the mechanisms of various adsorption systems. Therefore, this paper presents an overall review of the applications of adsorption isotherms, the use ...
· Both materials fitted to a Langmuir isotherm. PANI-based membranes reached 31.4% of gold and 54.4% of silver desorption whereas PPy-based membranes reached 54% of gold and 28.8% of silver. Redoping studies suggested the potential reuse of the PANI-based membranes at least for six cycles of the adsorption/desorption process.
· A phase-contrast X-ray microtomography system using the Talbot imaging has been built at the SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. This system has much higher density resolution than absorption-based X-ray microtomography. The tomographic sections of formalin-fixed mouse fetuses obtained with this method clearly depict various organs without ...

· Based on the microtomography studies, Dai et al., 2008, Pleysier et al., 2008 showed that at gold loadings up to 3000 mg/kg, the gold is predominantly adsorbed on the external surface of GAC and the adsorption process is controlled via film diffusion mechanism. At higher gold loadings, the external surface sites become saturated and further ...
Microtomography gives a visualisation of the adsorption of gold di-cyanide onto activated carbon. The computed tomography (CT) images show that the loading of gold in macro pores is negligible, and indicate that surface diffusion is the dominant mechanism for the penetration of the gold cyanide complex into the internal carbon structure.
In chemistry, absorption is a physical or chemical phenomenon or a process in which atoms, molecules or ions enter some bulk phase – liquid or solid material. This is a different process from adsorption, since molecules undergoing absorption are taken up by the volume, not by the surface (as in the case for adsorption).A more general term is sorption, which covers absorption, adsorption, and ...
· Based on the microtomography results discussed above, two major rate limiting mechanisms can be used to describe the adsorption of gold cyanide onto activated carbon. Initially at low gold loadings, due to the high availability of external surface active sites, the adsorption is rapid and controlled by film-diffusion through a hypothetical ...

· The particular objectives were to (1) examine adsorption isotherms of rice straw-derived biochar for Cd (2) compare the efficiency of KOH-modified and pristine biochar for Cd removal from solution and (3) identify the mechanisms governing the efficient adsorption of Cd onto the alkali-modified biochar produced from rice straw.

· There is evidence to suggest that the gas−water interface serves as an important retention domain for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vadose-zone soil. Moreover, vapor adsorption at the gas−water interface may represent the dominant retention mechanism under certain conditions. In general, vapor-phase interfacial adsorption is most significant for low organic matter …
· Further, neither CMT nor XRF can identify the speciation of metals, with the exception of perhaps oxidation state through data manipulation. To approach a full understanding of metal sequestration mechanisms within plant tissue, one must employ a suite of methods that determine speciation, localization, and 3D compartmentalization.
