A New Sr(II) Ion-Imprinted Polymer Grafted onto Potassium Titanate Whiskers: Synthesis and Adsorption Performance for the Selective Separation of Strontium Ions by Yan Liu, Jie Gao, Zulei Zhang, Jiangdong Dai, Jimin Xie, Yongsheng Yan

“…The values of the Gibbs' free energy (ΔG 0 ), standard entropy (ΔS 0 ) and standard enthalpy (ΔH 0 ) calculated from the adsorption data suggested that the adsorption of Sr(II) onto Sr(II)-IP was a spontaneous and endothermic process. The relative selectivity coefficients of Sr(II)-IP for Sr(II)/Cs(I) at different initial concentrations were 95.8, 320 and 1428.6, respectively, which were far greater than that of the non-imprinted polymer (NIP).…”

Molecularly-Imprinted Material for Dibenzothiophene Recognition Prepared by Surface Imprinting Methods by Pingping Xu, Wanzhen Xu, Xiaojie Zhang, Jianming Pan, Yongsheng Yan

“…Values of the Gibbs' free energy (ΔG 0 ) ranged from −7.11 kJ/mol to −9.36 kJ/mol over the temperature interval 298–318 K, indicating that the adsorption was endothermic in nature. In addition, D-MIP exhibited selective recognition of DBT relative to other similar compounds such as benzothiophene (BT), 4-methyldibenzothiphene (4-MDBT) and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT). …”

Adsorptive Removal of 2,6-Dichlorophenol from Aqueous Solution by Surfactant-Modified Palygorskite Sorbents: Equilibrium, Kinetics and Thermodynamics by Xue Wang, Jianming Pan, Wei Guan, Xiaohua Zou, Wei Hu, Yongsheng Yan, Chunxiang Li

“…Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of 2,6-DCP onto the three sorbents examined occurred spontaneously and that the process was endothermic in nature. The results indicate that the surfactant-modified palygorskite exhibited a significant potential as a sorbent material for the removal of phenolic compounds from aqueous solution.…”
