In this work, the impact of moisture on the volatility of heavy metals present in municipal solid wastes (MSW) in a laboratory scale simulated incinerator was studied, using synthetic waste consisting of 5.4 g of wood powder, 2.6 g lava, 1.9 polythene, 0.1 ...
We present an investigation into femtosecond time-resolved vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy as a tool for studying ultrafast surface dynamics. It is demonstrated that the presence of experimentally observed new spectral features does not necessarily ...
Carbon-carbon bond cleavage of 1,2-diphenyl-ethanes in CH3OH-H2SO4-H2O electrolyte on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode has been investigated electrode using 1,2-di-(p-tert-butylphenyl)-ethane and 1,2-dimethoxy-1,2-di-(p-tert-butylphenyl)-ethane as mod ...
Clusters of metal atoms at a fixed size can assume different structural arrangements, known as isomers, which may have nearly the same energy. Therefore at given experimental conditions distribution of these isomers can be present. While the size selection ...
A 3D simulation tool for solid oxide fuel cells is presented. The aim of this work is to predict current density, flow, temperature and concentration fields in order to compare and optimize repeat element geometry for a whole stack. A commercial CFD tool w ...
We derive a nonlinear stabilized Galerkin approximation of the Laplace operator for which we prove a discrete maximum principle on arbitrary meshes and for arbitrary space dimension without resorting to the well-known acute condition or generalizations the ...
Unscavenged prechamber ignition has recently been developed at LENI-EPFL to reduce the emissions from cogeneration spark ignition gas engines (natural gas and biogas) within the Swiss Motor project supported by the Federal Office of Energy. Prechambers fit ...
A method to obtain quantitative information about the chemical composition spatial distribution on rough (Ra between half a micrometer and tens of micrometers) surfaces is developed by using a Raman microscopy technique. It is tested on a wrinkled polyeste ...
Chem. mechanisms are used in 3D air quality models as well as for modeling lab. expts. Depending on the application the required detailedness of the mechanism differs. The mechanism generation program CHEMATA (Chem. Mechanism Adaptation to Tropospheric App ...
Modern lasers now routinely allow experiments where large populations of highly excited molecules can be prepared with perfect quantum state selection. In a sense, the laser has become the physical chemist’s synthetic tool, allowing “optical distillation” ...
