The curvature dependence of the physisorptions of $H_2$ on graphene surface and their barrier to the chemisorptions has been studied. The graphene with steeper curvature can adsorb $H_2$ stronger due to the more $sp^3$ character of the carbon. However, for the negative curvature, the binding strength of the physisorption and the barrier to the chemisorptions are determined by steric repulsion as well as the $sp^3$ character.

In order to characterize the catalytically active sites on carbon black, acetylene chemisorption had been examined recently at 773 and 873 K by using a pulse technique. As the inject ion was repeated at 773 K, the adsorbed amount gradually decreased and eventually the adsorption did not occur any more. At 873 K a constant amount of $C_2H_2$ was consumed repeatedly after several injections. Good linear relationships were obtained between the methane decomposition rate at 1123 or 1173 K and the cumulative acetylene adsorption at 773 K or the constant acetylene consumption at 873 K. Reasonable models for the associative acetylene chemisorption at 773 K and the constant acetylene consumption at 873 K on the armchair face at the edges of graphene layers were proposed. The constant consumpt ion may be explained by the "$C_2H_2$-addition-hydrogen- abstract ion (CAHA)" mechanism.

For the mold die sticking mechanism, the major explanation is that EMC filler of silica wears die surface roughened, which results in increase of adhesion strength. As big differences in experimental results from semiconductor manufacturers are dependent on EMC models, however, chemisorptions or acid-base interaction is apt to be also functioning as major mechanisms. In this investigation, the plasma source ion implantation (PSII) using $O_2$, $N_2$, and $CF_4$ modifies sample surface to form a new dense layer and improve surface hardness, and change metal surface condition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and vice versa. Through surface energy quantification by measuring contact angle and surface ion coupling state analysis by Auger, major governing mechanism for sticking issue was figured out to be a complex of mechanical and chemical factors.

Adsorption kinetics of aqueous ferric ion ($Fe^{3+}$) onto bio-natural rice grains (BRG) have been studied in a batch system. The influence of contact time (0-180 minutes), the dosage of BRG adsorbent (10, 20, 40, and $60gL^{-1}$), and ambient temperature (27, 37, 47, and $57^{\circ}C$) for the adsorption system have been reported. The equilibrium time achieved after 20 minutes of adsorption contact time. The maximum removal of ferric ion is 99% by using $60gL^{-1}$ of BRG, $T=37^{\circ}C$, and $50mgL^{-1}$ ferric ion solution. Adsorption kinetic and diffusion models, such as pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, and Weber-Morris intra-particle diffusion model, have been used to describe the adsorption rate and mechanism of the ferric ion onto BRG surface. The sorption data results are fitted by Lagergren pseudo-second order model ($R^2=1.0$). The kinetic parameters, rate constant, and sorption capacities have been calculated. The new information in this study suggests that BRG could adsorb ferric ion from water physiosorption during the first 5 minutes. Afterward, the electrostatic interaction between ferric ion and BGR-surface could take place as a very weak chemisorptions process. Thus, there is no significant change could be noticed in the FTIR spectra after adsorption. I recommend producing BGR as a bio-natural filtering material for removing the ferric ion from water.

The direct conversion of cellulose into polyols in $H_2$ was examined over Pt catalysts supported on various zeolites, viz., mordenite, Y, ferrierite, and ${\beta}$. For comparison, Pt catalysts supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, $SiO_2-Al_2O_3$, and $SiO_2$ were also tested. The physical properties of the catalysts were probed with $N_2$ physisorption. The surface acidity was measured with temperature programmed desorption of ammonia ($NH_3$-TPD). The Pt content was quantified with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The Pt dispersion was determined with CO chemisorptions and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The conversion of cellulose appeared to be mainly dependent on the reaction temperature and reaction time because it depends on the concentration of $H^+$ ions reversibly formed in hot water. Pt/H-mordenite (20) showed the highest yield to polyols among the tested catalysts. Pt/H-zeolite was superior to Pt/Na-zeolite for this reaction. The polyol yield was dependent on the surface acid density and the external surface area.
