Effect of alkali hydroxide on calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Yu Yan, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital, Sheng-Yu Yang

This paper investigates the effect of KOH and NaOH on C-S-H structure and solubility. Both KOH and NaOH have a similar effect, they increase pH values and silicon concentrations, and decrease calcium concentrations. At higher alkali hydroxide concentration ...

Permanganate Reduction by Hydrogen Peroxide: Formation of Reactive Manganese Species and Superoxide and Enhanced Micropollutant Abatement

Urs von Gunten, Ke Xu

Permanganate (MnO4-, Mn(VII)) is widely applied at the initial stage of water treatment to, e.g., abate taste and odor compounds, Mn(II) and Fe(II). However, its selectivity limits its application for micropollutant abatement. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), whi ...

Catalyst Proximity-Induced Functionalization of h-BN with Quat Derivatives

Magalí Alejandra Lingenfelder, Gabriele Tocci, Bart Willem Stel, Huanyao Cun

Inert single-layer boron nitride (h-BN) grown on a catalytic metal may be functionalized with quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) that are widely used as nonreactive electrolytes. We observe that the quat treatment, which facilitates the electrochemical ...

Reactions of hypoiodous acid with model compounds and the formation of iodoform in absence/presence of permanganate

Urs von Gunten, Jun Ma

The kinetics for the reactions of hypoiodous acid (HOI) with various phenols (phenol, 4-nitrophenol, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid), 3-oxopentanedioic acid (3-OPA) and flavone were investigated in the pH range of 6.0-11.0. The apparent second order rate constants ...

Kinetic and Mechanistic Aspects of the Reactions of Iodide and Hypoiodous Acid with Permanganate: Oxidation and Disproportionation

Urs von Gunten, Jun Ma

Oxidation kinetics of iodide and HOI/OI- by permanganate were studied in the pH range of 5.0-10.0. Iodide oxidation and iodate formation were faster at lower pH. The apparent second-order rate constants (k(obs)) for iodide oxidation by permanganate decreas ...

One-Pot Polyol Synthesis of Pt/CeO2 and Au/CeO2 Nanopowders as Catalysts for CO Oxidation

Christian Ludwig, Andrea Testino, Mohamed Tarik, Frank Pilger

The facile one-pot synthesis of CeO2-based catalysts has been developed to prepare a relatively large amount of nanopowders with relevant catalytic activity towards CO oxidation. The method consists of a two-steps process carried out in ethylene glycol: in ...
