Transtlate On June 2, research paper Adsorption of Organic Compounds by Carbon Nanomaterials in Aqueous Phase: Polanyi Theory and Its Application was published by Chemical Review, the top journal in Chemistry. The paper was written by Associate Professor Yang Kun of College of Environmental and Resource Science and Prof. Xing Baoshan of University of Massachusetts. Chemical Reviews is the journal published by American Chemical Society.
The paper systematically reviews the studies on the adsorption mechanism of carbon nano-sized particles (CNPs), and makes comments on Polanyi theory and its potential application in describing organic chemical adsorption by CNPs, understanding the physiochemical properties of adsorbates and adsorbents in adsorption, and estimating the adsorption capacity and affinity. In addition, the paper elaborates on Polanyi-based mathematical models to address the problem which in turn develops Polanyi theory.
Yang Kun graduated with a Ph.D. degree at Zhejiang University in 2004. He was a postdoctoral fellow from 2005 to 2006 and a visiting scientist from 2008 to 2010 in the group of Prof. Xing Baoshan at the University of Massachusetts. He was selected as a New Century Excellent Talent by Ministry of Education of China in 2008. As the author and coauthor, Dr. Yang has published more than 30 articles in peer-reviewed journals. His current research focuses on the environmental behavior and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials, the sorption and fate of organic chemicals in soils and sediments, the synthesis and characterization of porous adsorbents, and the surfactant-enhanced remediation of contaminated soils with organic chemicals.
