This study shows that iodinated organic compounds can be produced when iodide-containing waters are in contact with manganese oxide bimessite (delta-MnO2) in the pH range of 5-7. In the absence of natural organic matter (NOM), iodide is oxidized to iodate ...
There is increasing concern about environmental pollution by diffuse emissions of various environmental hazards emitted by transportation activities. For the first time substances released by railways to the environment were investigated. We considered the ...
The aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of branched polymers as novel exfoliants for layered silicates and their application in polyurethanes. Three different types of –OH functional branched polymers have been studied: dendrimers, hyperbra ...
Two to four pseudo-generation aliphatic hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) with OH end-groups have been solution processed with various types of montmorillonite (MMT) layered alumino-silicate clays, and carefully dried to produce solid HBP/MMT nanocomposites. ...
Cerium-doped lithium niobate crystals are tested for holographic recording. A photochromic effect is observed in crystals doped with cerium and manganese. But two-center recording in the sample is not as effective as in iron and manganese doubly doped crys ...
It is confirmed that Ag(I) is a very effective catalyst for the oxidn. of Mn(II) to permanganate. At anodic potentials below + 1300 mV (vs. Hg/Hg2SO4.K2SO4 ref. electrode) in 30% H2SO4 at 10 Deg, the current efficiency of permanganate formation is high; ab ...
The electrochem. oxidn. of Mn(II) in H2SO4 (30% wt.) has been studied using cyclic voltammetry. The mechanism was shown to be of the type ECE (Electrochem.-Chem.-Electrochem.). The deposition of MnO2 on the anode can be avoided by inhibiting the chem. reac ...
Satisfactory impregnation of glass fiber mats may be obtained with isotactic polypropylene/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites under conditions comparable with industrial conditions. However, it is demonstrated here that the high melt viscosity of the nan ...
