Development of Adsorbents for Selective Volatile Organic Compounds Removal from Diluted Gas Streams

Contamination of the environment by anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (VOC) became of major concern during the last decades. Present in gas streams of many industrial exhausts, they are harmful and detrimental for both human health and environment e ...

Activated carbon fibers modified by metal oxide as effective structured adsorbents for acetaldehyde

Lioubov Kiwi, Guillaume Bastien Baur

Novel efficient adsorbents for acetaldehyde removal from diluted gas streams (similar to 1300 ppmv) have been developed. The adsorbents combine the properties of activated carbon fibers (ACF) and nanoparticles (NPs) of basic metal oxides (La2O3, CaO, MgO, ...

Rational Catalyst Design for Selective Hydrogenations

Daniel André Samuel Lamey

Catalyst design for selective hydrogenations is of major importance for the manufacturing of fine chemicals. Catalytic procedure which uses scarce and expensive noble metals is very challenging in terms of exclusive attack of a single functionality or subs ...

Influences of Dilute Organic Adsorbates on the Hydration of Low-Surface-Area Silicates

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Bradley Floyd Chmelka, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

Competitive adsorption of dilute quantities of certain organic molecules and water at silicate surfaces strongly influence the rates of silicate dissolution, hydration, and crystallization. Here, we determine the molecular-level structures, compositions, a ...

CNT and proteins for bioelectronics in personalized medicine

Giovanni De Micheli, Sandro Carrara, Cristina Boero, Andrea Cavallini

From their discovery, CNTs have increasingly attracted interest because of their peculiar electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. In 1991, Sumio Iijima first observed and described in detail the atomic arrangement of this new type of carbon struct ...

Hydrogen Desorption Kinetics in Metal Intercalated Fullerides

Philippe Mauron

For different hydrogenated metal intercalated fullerides (Na10C60-H, Li12C60-H, and Li28C60-H) the activation energies for hydrogen desorption were determined by DSC. The Vyazovkin advanced method (VA) was used for the calculation of the reaction model fre ...

Pd/C-Catalyzed Cyclizative Cross-Coupling of Two ortho-Alkynylanilines under Aerobic Conditions: Synthesis of 2,3’-Bisindoles

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Bo Yao

A palladium-catalyzed cyclizative cross-coupling of two o-alkynylanilines to 2,3’-bisindoles under aerobic oxidative conditions was developed. Mechanistic studies suggested that the two catalytic cycles, namely the formation of 3-alkynylindoles 8 and their ...

Comparative study and quantification of cementite decomposition in heavily drawn pearlitic steel wires

Daniele Mari, Aude Marie Agnès Lamontagne

Heavily cold-drawing was performed on a pearlitic steel wire and on an ultra-low carbon (ULC) steel wire in order to highlight and quantify the microstructural changes caused by this type of deformation. Both global techniques (thermoelectric power, electr ...

Micropollutant removal from municipal wastewater

Jonas Margot

Many micropollutants present in municipal wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides, are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), and may generate adverse effects on aquatic life. The objective of this thesis was to stud ...

Thiol Adsorption on the Au(100)-hex and Au(100)-(1 X 1) Surfaces

Klaus Kern

Alkanethiol adsorption on the Au(100) surfaces is studied by using scanning tunneling microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques. Adsorption of hexanethiol (HT) on the Au(100)-hex surface results in the formation of elonga ...
