With different mass ratios, titanium dioxide/carbon nanotube (0.1-10 wt% CNTcontent) nanocomposites were prepared with the aid of ultrasonication method. The structures of the various TiO2/CNT nanocomposites were characterized by electron microscopy (scann ...
The effect of inorganic semivolatile aerosol compounds on the cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) activity of aerosol particles was studied by using a computational model for a DMT-CCN counter, a cloud parcel model for condensation kinetics and experiments to ...
The catalytic action of nano-sized Au particles supported on hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) is compared in the continuous gas phase hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene and m-dinitrobenzene. The catalysts were prepared by deposition-precipitation ...
A thermodynamic model, the Gibbs Free-Energy Minimization model (GFEMN), was used to simulate the partitioning of PM2.5 nitrate aerosol and nitric acid using highly time-resolved inorganic measurements collected at the Pittsburgh Air Quality Study during J ...
This thesis presents the different steps in the development of a multiple diagnostic experimental setup and the results concerning the kinetics of condensation and evaporation of water over pure ice, as well as ice films doped with a known amount of atmosp ...
The effect of surface functionalities, specific surface area and pore size of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) on the adsorption of toluene and acetaldehyde, two volatile organic compounds (VOC), at low concentrations (similar to 80 ppmv) and short contact t ...
The interactions of trivalent lanthanides and actinides with secondary mineral phases such as calcite is of high importance for the safety assessment of deep geological repositories for high level nuclear waste (HLW). Due to similar ionic radii, calcium-be ...
Major explosive volcanic eruptions inject gases and ash particles into the stratosphere, resulting in significant impacts on ozone and climate. Here we report on fast and sensitive in situ measurements of sulfur dioxide (SO2), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and ...
The tribocorrosion behaviour of overlay welded Ni-Cr 625 alloy sliding against alumina in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 0.5 M HNO3 solutions under potentiostatic conditions was investigated. The passivation of the samples in the two electrolytes at different potentials ...
The first part of this laboratory study deals with heterogeneous reactions of bromine- and chlorine-containing species relevant to the atmosphere with solid model alkali salt substrates. The second part of this work treats the heterogeneous interaction of ...
