Thermal desorption mechanism of n-dodecane on unsaturated clay: Experimental study and molecular dynamics simulation

Zhixin Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, a combination method including TGA experiments, multi-phase and multi-component kinetic models, and MD simulation was employed to investigate the thermal desorption mechanism of n-dodecane in unsaturated clay. The results demonstrated that the desorption behavior of the nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) and the adsorbed phase of n-dodecane or water could be identified using the multi-phase and multi-component kinetic models. MD simulation further revealed the competitive adsorption of water and n-dodecane on montmorillonite surfaces, which impeded the formation of the adsorbed phase.

Intercalation of atorvastatin and valsartan into Mg-Al layered double hydroxide host using a restacking procedure

Szabolcs Murath et al.

Summary: Anionic drugs atorvastatin and valsartan were successfully intercalated into Mg-Al LDH host with high drug loading. XRD analysis confirmed the intercalation of both drugs, while molecular modeling showed the interaction between drugs and LDH at the atomic scale. Experimental measurements supported the findings from the modeling, indicating weak electrostatic interactions between LDH layers and drug molecules. The release of the drugs from the intercalated LDH slightly differed in different media, following pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Evaluation of the BET and GAB models for interpretation of soil water isotherms: A molecular simulation study

Yijie Wang et al.

Summary: Mathematical characterization of soil water isotherm (SWI) is essential for modeling soil processes and estimating soil properties. This study evaluates the BET and GAB models widely used in SWIs and determines if they provide meaningful monolayer contents. The GAB model outperforms the BET model in fitting the SWIs. Analyses of the monolayer thickness, area, and orientations of the adsorbed water molecules validate the reliability of the monolayer contents. Molecular simulations reveal the different effects of surface hydroxyls and cations in the adsorption process. This work provides crucial information for the rational application of the BET and GAB models to SWIs.

Adsorption behaviour and mechanism of benzene, toluene and m-xylene (BTX) solution onto kaolinite: Experimental and molecular dynamics simulation studies

Meng Wu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the molecular interactions between BTX and kaolinite by combining molecular dynamics simulations and experimental methods. The results revealed that the adsorption capacity of kaolinite was influenced by its hydrophilicity, and BTX molecules were adsorbed on kaolinite surfaces through weak hydrogen bonds. The adsorption mechanisms of BTX on kaolinite were well described by the pseudo first-order kinetic and Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm model. The findings from this study provide important insights into the environmental behavior of BTX in soils.

Modeling and evaluation of NAPL-impacted soil vapor intrusion facilitated by vadose zone breathing

Jun Man et al.

Summary: In this study, a vadose zone breathing-facilitated vapor intrusion model was developed and used to evaluate the impact of NAPL-impacted soils. The results indicate that vadose zone breathing has a significant influence on indoor pollutant concentrations, which are affected by factors such as water table fluctuations, soil types, building structures, and source depths.

Cation exchange capacity and soil pore system play key roles in water vapour sorption

Xue Song et al.

Summary: Understanding the controlling factors of soil water vapor sorption at different water activities is crucial for accurate estimation of soil properties. This study found that cation exchange capacity and soil pore system play important roles in water vapor sorption and sorption hysteresis. Water content showed a significant correlation with cation exchange capacity, which varied with water activity. Water vapor sorption hysteresis was mainly influenced by differences in cation hydration and pore size.

Ciprofloxacin carrier systems based on hectorite/halloysite hybrid hydrogels for potential wound healing applications

Marina Massaro et al.

Summary: The study reported the development of ciprofloxacin carrier systems based on hectorite/halloysite hybrid hydrogels for potential wound healing applications. The introduction of modified Hal as a filler in hectorite hydrogel improved the rheological properties and controlled the release process of ciprofloxacin. The in vitro biocompatibility of the Hal fillers was evaluated through cytotoxic assays and laser scanning confocal microscopy.

Water adsorption isotherms on soil external particle surface by molecular simulation

Chao Zhang et al.

Summary: Water adsorption isotherms on soil external particle surface are a macroscopic manifestation of atomistic scale soil-water interaction mechanisms, including van der Waals forces, surface hydration, cation hydration, and electrical double layer. A general framework based on Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulation provides a quantitative assessment of the impact of these mechanisms on water adsorption isotherms, revealing that different interaction mechanisms dictate the shape of adsorption isotherms and that divalent cations have a much stronger interaction with water molecules compared to univalent cations, increasing the adsorption capacity significantly.

Investigation of the interaction between xanthate and kaolinite based on experiments, molecular dynamics simulation, and density functional theory

Xiaolong Zhang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the interaction between xanthate and kaolinite surfaces using various experimental methods. Results showed that xanthate adsorption on kaolinite surfaces fits well with the pseudo-first-order and Langmuir models. The research indicated that xanthate interacts with kaolinite surfaces through noncovalent interaction and is more likely to be adsorbed on the kaolinite (001) surface.
