The present thesis work deals with the investigation of the heterogeneous reactions involving nitrate radical (NO3), dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) and ozone (O3) on surrogates of atmospheric mineral dust particles characteristic of the troposphere. An additi ...
Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is produced in industry by reacting soybean oil, at 60-70 degrees C, with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formic or acetic acid. A small amount of sulphuric or phosphoric acid is necessary to catalyze the oxidation of the ...
A general one-step strategy is developed for the synthesis of hexofuranosyl 1-phosphates starting from new unprotected glycofuranosyl donors. It required first the preparation of new 1-thiohexofuranosides bearing a thioimidoyl heterocycle as a leaving grou ...
The silver aluminates AgAl[OC(CF3)2(R)]4 (R = H, CH3, CF3) react with solns. of white phosphorus P4 to give complexes that bind one or two almost undistorted tetrahedral P4 mols. in an h2 fashion: [Ag(P4)2]+[Al(OC(CF3)3)4]- (1) contg. the 1st homoleptic me ...
White phosphorus is a very efficient trap for carbon radicals generated by white light photolysis of Barton PTOC esters using CH2Cl2-CS2 as solvent at 0 Deg under dry argon. Removal of the solvent mixt. and oxidn. with H2O2 in 1,2-dimethoxyethane provides ...
The scarcity of freshwater resources is a critical problem in semi-arid zones and marginal quality water is increasingly being used in agriculture. This paper aimed at evaluating the physico-chemical and biological risks on irrigated soils and fruits of ma ...
A synthetic protocol was developed for the preparation of thin mesoporous TiO2 films with enhanced thermal stability. This objective was achieved by a modification of the procedure of supramolecular templating by a Pluronic P-123 copolymer by an addition o ...
Two bubble column sequencing batch reactors fed with an artificial wastewater were operated at 20, 30 and 35°C. In a first stage, stable granules were obtained at 20°C whereas fluffy structures were observed at 30°C. Molecular analysis revealed high abunda ...
A detailed budget of the fluxes of bio-available phosphorus (bio-P) was established for the ultra-oligotrophic Lake Brienz (Switzerland) and its catchment. Lake Brienz is a cold, deep oligotrophic peri-alpine lake that receives an annual load of approximat ...
We have studied the indium and gallium incorporation during growth by chemical beam epitaxy of GaInAs, GaInP and GaInAsP alloys. TMIn, TEGa, cracked AsH3 and PH3 sources were used. The indium incorporation ratio remains nearly constant over the range of pa ...
