Equilibrium Studies of Fluoride Adsorption onto a Ferric Poly−mineral from Kenya by EW Wambu, CO Onindo, W Ambusso, GK Muthakia

“…The adsorption data also correlated to Langmuir and Freundlich models indicating that F adsorption onto FPM was a mixed process involving chemisorption onto surface sites followed by gradual intra-particle penetration of F into mesoporous structure of the mineral. High mean Langmuir adsorption capacity of 10.8 mg/g, indicate that the mineral could be of use as an inexpensive substrate for the removal of F from aqueous streams. …”

Mechanism Analysis of the Influence of Freeze-Thaw on the Damage and Debonding Evolution of Sandstone-Concrete Interface by Yanjun Shen, Tao Luo, Xin Wei, Xueting Li, Long Jin, Liangdong Wen, Hui Peng, Yanjun Ji

“…The conclusions drawn are as follows: (1) With the increase of freeze-thaw times, the content of micropores and macropores at the interface gradually increases, while the content of mesoporous gradually decreases. At the same time, the decrease of freeze-thaw temperature also aggravates the growth of interface cracks, and the freeze-thaw damage of interface is closely related to the minimum freeze-thaw temperature. (2) The damage of the sandstone side becomes more serious under multiple freeze-thaw actions. …”
