Published data and the author's own data on the surface energy of hydrophilic oxides,
silicates, and hydrophobic adsorbents based on them are reviewed. The prospects of using …

Values for the surface tension, π, of 85 mJ/m2 and for the contact angle of wetting by water
as its saturated vapour, θV, of 75° are proposed as criteria for distinguishing between …

Publisher Summary This chapter demonstrates that natural sorbents of various types and
adsorption-active materials based thereon can readily be used for the removal of three …

Existing data and the author's own data on the calorimetric and chromatographic heats of
sorption of water, methanol, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and certain other polar substances …

The adsorption–calorimetric method is used to study the adsorption values and adsorption
heats of benzene at the modified kaolinite and silica samples. The entropy diagrams of the …

It was shown, by ab initio calculations of the characteristics of hydrophilic centers formed on
the surfaces of organosubstituted kaolinites with equivalent and superequivalent …

The application of polymers in modern technology, of concentration and isolation of metal
ions from solution, water preparation, water purification, processes of removal …

It has been shown that when solvatochromism is used to investigate the chemical properties
of a medium in which there is a probe molecule, the structure of the immediate surroundings …

Water molecules coordinated by the exchangeable cations of mineral ion exchanges have
an increased acidity in comparison to the corresponding aqua complexes in solutions. This …

Values and heats of benzene adsorption on modified kaolinite and silica samples are
measured by adsorption calorimetry. Entropy diagrams are calculated for benzene adsorbed …
