Enhanced sonochemical degradation of bisphenol-A by bicarbonate ions

César Pulgarin

Sonochemical elimination of organic pollutants can take place through two degradation pathways. Molecules with relatively large Henry’s law constants will be incinerated inside the cavitation bubble, while nonvolatile molecules with low Henry’s law constan ...

H-mode threshold power in TCV Ohmic plasmas

Yves Martin

L-mode to H-mode (LH) transitions are observed in a large variety of plasma conditions in TCV Ohmic plasmas. The power flowing through the separatrix at the LH transition differs by up to a factor of two from the predicted H-mode threshold power. Variation ...
