Removal of methomyl from aqueous solutions using reactivated carbon microspheres [PDF]
The removal of methomyl, one of the most frequent pesticides, from aqueous solutions has been studied by adsorption using the reactivated carbon microspheres separated from worn filtering protective suits.

Soil Water Thermodynamic to Unify Water Retention Curve by Pressure Plates and Tensiometer
The pressure plate method is a standard method for measuring the pF curves, also called soil water retention curves, in a large soil moisture range from saturation to a dry state corresponding to a tension pressure of near 1500 kPa. However, the pressure

The improvement of soil thermodynamics and its effects on land surface meteorology in the IPSL climate model [PDF]
This paper describes the implementation of an improved soil thermodynamics in the hydrological module of Earth system model (ESM) developed at the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) and its effects on land surface meteorology in the IPSL climate model.

Impacts of non-ideality and the thermodynamic pressure work term pΔv on the surface energy balance [PDF]
Present-day eddy-covariance-based methods for measuring the energy and mass exchange between the earth's surface and the atmosphere often do not close the surface energy balance.

Migration mechanism of capillary-film water in frozen soil and its experimental verification
In view of the capillary theory and the film water theory only considering one kind of the water migration mechanisms, it is difficult to fully and reasonably reveal the frost heaving mechanism of the soil.

Thermodynamic Concept of Water Retention and Physical Quality of the Soil [PDF]
The physical quality of the soil is determined by its interfacial interactions in conditions of variable water content. In this regard, water retention characteristics in the form of functions of water content and its thermodynamic potentials are used as indicators of physical quality and its dynamics in the soil.

Energy states of soil water – a thermodynamic perspective on soil water dynamics and storage-controlled streamflow generation in different landscapes [PDF]
Abstract. The present study confirms that a thermodynamic perspective on soil water is well suited to distinguishing the typical interplay of gravity and capillarity controls on soil water dynamics in different landscapes. To this end, we express the driving matric and gravity potentials by their energetic counterparts and characterize soil water by ...
