In this model, the interface region is assumed to be a mixture of different phases with the same chemical potential, but with different compositions. The interface diffusion and boundary diffusion are also considered in the model. As an example, the model is applied to the sintering process with Fe-Cu powders. The free energy of each phase is described by the well-developed thermodynamic models, together with the published optimized parameters. The microstructure and solute distribution during the sintering process can both be obtained quantitively.展开更多

Various combinations from among 12 different types of carbon powders (including two medical carbons), having a wide range of surface area and porosity, were used to perform cholesterol adsorption experiments. The cholesterol concentration in a cyclohexane solvent (37 ~C, shaking 200 rpm) was detected at 215 nm using ultraviolet spectroscopy. Most adsorption occurred in the first 30 to 60 minutes. A Langmuir model was used to fit the amount of cholesterol adsorbed per gram of carbon. The medical carbon, Natural Elements Activated Charcoal, adsorbed 234 mg of cholesterol adsorption per gram of carbon. The experimental percentages of cholesterol removed from solution (maximum 98%) were correlated with nitrogen Branauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas and micro, meso, and macropore volume distributions. Surface area alone was not a suitable predictor of cholesterol adsorption. However, carbon powders exhibiting a large surface area along with significant meso and macropores were shown to be effective in adsorbing cholesterol from a nonpolar environment. Ingestion of a medically approved carbon powder with a large surface area and sufficient meso and macroporosity may be able to adsorb cholesterol in the intestinal tract and thereby lower cholesterol levels in the body.展开更多
