In this study, propane ammoxidation as an exothermic process is thermally coupled with the endothermic naphtha reforming process which resulted in the elimination of the naphtha reforming furnaces. Both processes are available in petrochemical plants. Naph ...
Alkali-intercalated graphite compounds represent a compelling modification of carbon with significant application potential and various fundamentally important phases. The intercalation of graphite with alkali atoms (Li and K) using liquid ammonia solution ...
Ye'elimite (Ca4Al6O12SO4 or C(4)A(3)S) is the main hydraulic mineral present in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA). Its reaction is responsible for the (early) hydration and associated cement properties such as the chemical shrinkage. This paper discusse ...
Energy Storage in the chemical bonds of water, a process accessible through electrochemical conversion, is a simple approach to compensate supply fluctuation common to sustainable energy production such as wind and solar. However, the water cycle is limite ...
Nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) cause the nuclei of light elements like hydrogen to delocalize, affecting numerous properties of water and aqueous solutions, such as hydrogen-bonding and proton transfer barriers. Here, we address the prototypical case of aq ...
Potassium hydroxide (KOH) modified network-type carbon spheres (CSs) with abundant oxygen-rich groups were synthesized using a simple hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of glucose precursor and utilized for the adsorptive removal of cadmium(II) heavy metal a ...
Sea spray is one of the largest natural aerosol sources and plays an important role in the Earth's radiative budget. These particles are inherently hygroscopic, that is, they take-up moisture from the air, which affects the extent to which they interact wi ...
Calcium sulphoaluminate cements (CSA) with the main phase yeâelimite are a promising class of non-Portland cements which are gaining increasing interest from the cement industry. However, the hydration kinetics of CSA cements varies strongly, even for ce ...
This paper evaluates feasibility of alkali activation to boost the reactivity and cementitious properties of recycled glass powder ( GP), when it is used in four different binary mixtures with ordinary Portland cement ( OPC), alkali activated slag or fly a ...
Hydrates of gas are non-stoichiometric inclusion compounds constituted of water and gas. Therein, the water molecules are hydrogen-bonded and form three-dimensional crystalline networks incorporating different kinds of polar or nonpolar guest gas molecules ...
