“…Such approaches do not consider long-term correlations and long-range interactions appearing in diffusion processes occurring on complex domains such as self-similar (or fractal) structures. The work of Sakaguchi (2005) incorporates anomalous diffusion concepts into the analysis of adsorption-diffusion dynamics on fractal objects. Through direct simulations, Sakaguchi found that the adsorbed quantity followed a power-law time-dependent diffusion coefficient, i.e., In this work, we developed a pore volume and surface diffusion model that incorporates anomalous diffusion features, with the difference from previous works being that our proposal is based on the fractal continuum approach that considers the fractality in the adsorbate geometrical characteristics.…”

In this work, we present a mathematical model to describe the adsorption-diffusion process on fractal porous materials. This model is based on the fractal continuum approach and considers the scale-invariant properties of the surface and volume of adsorbent particles, which are wellrepresented by their fractal dimensions. The method of lines was used to solve the nonlinear fractal model, and the numerical predictions were compared with experimental data to determine the fractal dimensions through an optimization algorithm. The intraparticle mass flux and the mean square displacement dynamics as a function of fractal dimensions were analyzed. The results suggest that they can be potentially used to characterize the intraparticle mass transport processes.The fractal model demonstrated to be able to predict adsorption-diffusion experiments and jointly can be used to estimate fractal parameters of porous adsorbents.Av.

Segars and Piscitelle (1996) used fractal theory to generalize the BET model by proposing a power-law parameter that quantifies the surface roughness. They interpret equilibrium data finding that the isothermic adsorption strongly depends on the fractal dimension, where 2 D > . Following the same idea, the effect of fractal dimension on the adsorption process was analyzed, which allowed for modifications to the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller equation to improve predictions (Aguerre et al., 1996, Khalili et al., 1997. Other work focused on improving the isotherm predictions was made by Kanô et al. (2000) who presented a model that generalizes both the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Such a model is based on the fact that the adsorbing surface depends on the amount of adsorbed mass according to A M ζ ∼ , where / 3 D ζ = quantifies the irregularities of a presumable self-similar fractal surface. Along the same line of ideas, in (Wang et al., 2007, Longjun et al., 2008, and Selmi et al., 2018, the authors present fractal models through the modification of the classical equilibrium isotherms. In such works, they discuss and apply a fractal adsorption model obtained from the Langmuir and kinetics model where the geometric characteristics of the solute are linked to the surface's fractal dimension. Additionally, they report a power-law dependence of the effective reaction order with time.On the other hand, dynamic models to interpret the adsorption-diffusion process scarcely have changed from the classical descriptions commonly used for kinetic models (Qiu et al., 2009, Foo and Hameed, 2010, and Montagnaro and Balsamo, 2014 or diffusional models (Leyva-Ramos and Geankoplis 1994, Ocampo-Perez et al., 2010, Ocampo-Perez et al., 2013and Ocampo-Pérez et al., 2017. Such approaches do not consider long-term correlations and long-range interactions appearing in diffusion processes occurring on complex domains such as self-similar (or fractal) structures.

Electric double layer in porous media is studied with direct numerical simulations of the Nernst-Planck-Poisson equation. The time evolution of the charging process of the electric double-layer along a straight pore is first studied, and confirm that the time evolution obeys a power law of the exponent 1/2. We find that the diffusion constant increases effectively by the effect of the width of the pore. Next it is found that the time evolution of the charging process in fractal porous media obeys a power law, and the exponent alpha is related to the fracton dimension. Finally, we propose a coupled map lattice model for the creation of pore structures by gas activation processes, and perform numerical simulation of the charging dynamics of the electric double layer.
