Stabilization strategies in biomass depolymerization using chemical functionalization

Jeremy Luterbacher, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago

A central feature of most lignocellulosic-biomass-valorization strategies is the depolymerization of all its three major constituents: cellulose and hemicellulose to simple sugars, and lignin to phenolic monomers. However, reactive intermediates, generally ...

Interactions between alite and C(3)A-gypsum hydrations in model cements

Karen Scrivener, Alexandra Quennoz

This paper focuses on the interactions that occur between cement phases during early hydration, especially between the hydration of alite and C(3)A-gypsum. This study shows that alite reaction is accelerated in the presence of gypsum. This acceleration was ...

Calibration of Spectral Reaction Data

Dominique Bonvin, Michael Amrhein

Calibration is the first step in the prediction of concentrations from spectral measurements of chemical reaction systems. It is a well-known fact that the species in the calibration set must include those in the new set. Typically, the calibration set is ...

In-situ characterization of the surface intermediates for the ethanol dehydration reaction over g-alumina under dynamic conditions

Albert Renken

The dynamic behavior of the ethanol adsorption on g-alumina were investigated at 180 and 200 DegC by the transient-response method coupled with FT-IR data of the catalyst surface. The existence of three adsorbates was demonstrated: a reacting species which ...
