This thesis is about the simulation of flow, transport and geochemical reactions in variably saturated soils. Motivated by the problematic disposal and revegetation of residue from aluminium refining, novel modelling tools for general geochemical reactions ...
We present elements of electrolyte dynamics and electrochemistry relevant to microfluidic electrokinetics experiments. In Part I of this two-paper series, we presented a review and introduction to the fundamentals of acid-base chemistry. Here, we first sum ...
A combination of weak Lewis acid (LiCl) and weak Bronsted acid (hexafluoroisopropanol, HFIP) promotes efficiently the Friedel-Crafts reaction of electron-rich arom. compds. with Et glyoxylate. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
A series of europium(III) and terbium(III) complexes of three 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-based pyridine containing ligands were synthesized. The three ligands differ from each other in the substitution of the pyridine pendant arm, namely they have a carboxyli ...
A Knudsen flow reactor has been used to quantify surface functional groups on aerosols collected in the field. This technique is based on a heterogeneous titration reaction between a probe gas and a specific functional group on the particle surface. In the ...
We review fundamental and applied acid-base equilibrium chemistry useful to microfluidic electrokinetics. We present elements of acid-base equilibrium reactions and derive rules for pH calculation for simple buffers. We also present a general formulation t ...
The homoditopic ligand 6,6’- [methylenebis(1-methyl-1H-benzimid- azole-5,2-diyl)]bis(4-{2-[2-(2-methoxy- ethoxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}pyridine-2-carboxylic acid) (H2LC2) has been tailored to self-assemble with lanthanide ions (LnIII), which results in the formatio ...
Bench-scale, semibatch experiments were performed to examine physical-chemical constraints on ozone (O-3) absorption and micropollutant oxidation during ozonation of source-separated hydrolyzed urine and the concentrate and diluate streams produced via ele ...
Low energy collisions of atomic ions and cluster ions with rare gas covered metal substrates can lead to strong light emission which is element and size specific. Instead of a direct energy transfer into the electronic system of the cluster the observed em ...
A photoacoustic sensor using a laser diode emitting near 1532 nm in combination with an erbium-doped fibre amplifier has been developed for ammonia trace gas analysis at atmospheric pressure. NH3 concentration measurements down to 6 ppb and a noise-equival ...
