The Adsorption and Desorption Characteristics of a Novel Sorbent in Groundwater Remediation: Modified Oil Sludge Yuehua Li1,2, Yulong Liu*1,a, Hao Deng1, Suolei Zhang1 1 Research Institute of Safety & Environment Technology, China National Petroleum Corporation, Beijing, 100083,China 2Beijing Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Beijing, 100083,China a liuyulong98@yahoo.com.cn Keywords: Modified oil sludge (MOS); Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE); Benzene; Trichloroethylene (TCE); Adsorption; Desorption.
Materials and Methods MOS making procedure.
The adsorption process of MTBE, TCE and benzene by MOS is also very complicated, and the mechanism of this adsorption maybe mainly due to the adsorption of the organic materials in MOS.
Basis on the results, follow conclusions are obtained: (i) the adsorption removal rate of TCE and benzene was more than 99%, but it was lower for MTBE (but still >93%); (ii) Freundlich model is used to stimulate the adsorption of MTBE, TCE and benzene, and the adsorption mechanism is the adsorption of the organic materials in MOS; (iii) the desorption quantity of TCE and benzene was lower (0.4% and 1%, respectively), but it was larger for MTBE (about 10%); (iv) for groundwater remediation, it is an efficient and economic way to reutilize MOS as an absorbent in adsorption technology.

Experimental The nanoparticles of T'-PCCO with x = 0, and 0.10 were synthesized from raw materials Pr6O11 (99.9%), CeO2 (99.9%), and CuO (99%) using the chemically dissolved method followed by HNO3 as a dissolving agent according to Ref. [4].
The lattice parameter and crystal size were estimated by Rietveld analysis using materials analysis using diffraction (MAUD) software [8].
This signifies the key role of the defect density modification in enhancing magnetization as reported in Ref. [5].

Introduction Investigation of novel high-sensitivity piezoresistive materials is indispensable for extending the usability and operability of future force sensing nano-electro-mechanical-system (NEMS) devices [1].
These devices can operate with the Schottky barriers, and in addition, the detailed prediction of electromechanical properties of ZnO itself at the nanoscale level is quite valuable for the application of ZnO to NEMS sensing devices, because these properties in a low-dimensional material are considered to be remarkably different from those in the same material at the microscale level.

According to the binary phase diagram [5], solidification of engineering γ titanium aluminide alloys occurs via the β and/or the peritectic α phase.
The investigated materials included binary as well as multicomponent alloys, which contained Al concentrations in the range 42 - 47 Al, varying Nb (5 - 8 at.%), B (0.1 - 0.2 at.%) and other alloying additions (Mo, W, Fe, C).
This material was then subjected to a second heat treatment in the β phase field at 1450 °C followed by air cooling or by furnace cooling with an initial rate of 1 K/s.
Conclusions Our experimental observations strongly indicate that the β/α transformation is the key factor to understand grain refinement in β solidifying alloys.

Introduction Polystyrene (PS) has been widely used as an engineering plastics due to its high strength properties combined with long durability, translucency and easy manufacture [1,2].
Only data of the second stage were recorded and used for further analysis because the aim of first stage was to eliminate heat history of the material.
Similar result could be seen in J.F.Larche’s[13]and Quanlin Zhao’s[14] research that different properties of different materials could be used to characterize the weathering behavior or evaluated the correlation between two different weathering environments.
Moreover, for different materials different weathering devices and conditions should be used for artificial accelerated simulation or service lifetime prediction.
