The effects of sorbent dosage, desorption time, oil amount in the water, and contact time on composite materials sorption were investigated. The results showed that the optimum quantity of EP was between 0.5 g and 1.0 g for 25 cm2 polymeric fabrics bags. Oil removal efficiency for 6 L/m2 of oil amount in the water was 52%-72%, 44%-63%, and 37%-48% for AF, PP, and SS composite materials, respectively. Oil/water selectivity analysis of different composite materials showed that AF composite material had a very high degree of hydrophobicity and oil sorption capacity of approximately 10.17 g/g. Both oil sorption kinetics and equilibrium studies were carried out, and the equilibrium process of composite materials was described well by the Langmuir isotherm, and the oil sorption kinetics of composite materials showed good correlation coefficients for the pseudo-second order kinetic model. Intra-particle diffusion studies showed that oil sorption mechanism was controlled by the three processes, involving in external liquid membrane diffusion, surface sorption, and intra-particle diffusion.展开更多

Unlike to other conventional porous materials, cement pastes often behave exceptionally. The water sorption hysteresis frequently persists at very low humidity. This hysteresis is reflected in a corresponding hysteresis loop of the solid skeleton volume. We discuss a theoretical model based on the strong compression force exerted by a condensate on the walls of narrow slit pores embedded in an elastic solid. This compression force is shown to be capable of shifting walls of narrow slit pores. Humidity-dependent closing and reopening of slit pores can produce hysteresis loops even at low humidity.展开更多
