Therefore, bioheat transfer models are necessary to accurately predict tissue and organ temperature distributions during treatment. This paper provides a systematic review of the evolution of bioheat transfer models, ranging from the classical Pennes model to fractional-order models.

Among 53 studies, amine-functionalized GO demonstrated superior efficiency owing to its protonation in acidic conditions, nitrogen's lone electron pair, increased positive surface charge, and expanded interlayer spacing. Carboxyl/hydroxyl groups facilitated ion exchange and Cr (VI)-to-Cr (III) reduction but showed weaker binding tendency. Sulfur-containing groups enabled physical adsorption via complexation but suffers lack of stability in acidic media. Despite limited direct Cr (VI) adsorption, metal oxides enhanced GO’s magnetic properties and stability. Reports indicated the pseudo-second-order model frequently described the adsorption processes, suggesting chemisorption is the rate-limiting step. Besides, depending on the functional groups and operating conditions, thermodynamic analysis revealed that Cr (VI) adsorption could occurs spontaneous, endothermic, or exothermic.

The maximum removal efficiencies predominantly occurred in strong acidic condition i.e. pH 2–3, where protonation of functional groups develops strong electrostatic attraction to HCrO₄⁻.

The process that controls the effectiveness of gas storage, transport, and recovery is known as adsorption, and it is fundamental to the extraction of shale gas. Adsorption takes place inside intricate nanoporous networks composed of organic and mineral substances. Methane adsorption, thermodynamics, pore structure, mineral composition, and competitive sorption with carbon dioxide (CO₂) are the main topics of this study, which summarizes recent progress in our knowledge of methane adsorption processes. Micropores, which have overlapped van der Waals contacts, may store more methane than larger holes because of the high temperature and pressure that characterize methane adsorption. Thermodynamic analyses show that adsorption is an exothermic, spontaneous process, and the fact that there is hysteresis between the two processes highlights how complicated confinement effects and pore connections are. Carbon dioxide-enhanced shale gas recovery (CO₂-ESGR) is based on CO₂'s competitive replacement of methane, which improves recovery and allows geological carbon sequestration. By combining microscopic interactions with macroscopic production projections, new molecular modeling techniques like molecular dynamics (MD) and grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations provide atomistic insights that go beyond classic adsorption models.
