Lack of improved drinking water sources contributes a lot to many waterborne diseases caused by pathogens which include viruses, protozoa, bacteria or worms. It is essential to develop and promote treatment methods in order to provide pathogen-free safe dr ...
Enhanced reductive dehalogenation is an attractive treatment technology for in situ remediation of chlorinated solvent DNAPL source areas. Reductive dehalogenation is an acid-forming process with hydrochloric acid and also organic acids from fermentation o ...
The water soluble ruthenium(II) complex [RuCl2(PTA)([9]aneS3)] (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphadamantane, [9]aneS3 = 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) catalyzes the hydrogenation of CO2 and bicarbonate in aqueous solution. ...
Biomimetic apatite coatings were obtained by soaking chemically treated titanium in SBF with different HCO3- concentration. XRD, FTIR and Raman analyses were used to characterize phase composition and degree of carbonate substitution. The microstructure, e ...
Hydrogenation of bicarbonates in water: By using a ruthenium-based catalytic system hydrogenation of sodium bicarbonate was achieved in water in comparable high TONs and yields. The hydrogenation of sodium bicarbonate takes place with the catalytic system ...
Reaction of anilines, primary and secondary aliph. amines with cyclopropylboronic acid in dichloroethane in the presence of Cu(OAc)2 (1 equiv.), 2,2'-bipyridine (1 equiv.) and sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (2 equiv.) under air atm. afforded the co ...
The water-soluble iridium(III) complexes [CpIr(PTA)Cl2] (1) and [CpIr(PTA)2Cl]Cl (2) (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) have been synthesised and characterised by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The complexes were evaluated as catalyst prec ...
Methanogenesis from main methane precursors H2/CO2 and acetate was investigated in a temperature range of 2–70 °C using sediments from Lake Baldegg, Switzerland. Psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, mesophilic, and thermophilic methanogenic microbial communities ...
The water-sol. ruthenium(II) complexes [Cp'RuX(PTA)2]Y and [CpRuCl(PPh3)(mPTA)]OTf (Cp' = Cp, Cp*, X = Cl and Y = nil; or X = MeCN and Y = PF6; PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane; mPTA = 1-methyl-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) were used as catalyst ...
The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of O-3/granular activated carbon (GAC) to enhance ozone transformation into circle OH radicals, with the common advanced oxidation processes (O-3/OH-, O-3/H2O2). The results obtained with model syst ...
