Calcite is among the most abundant minerals on earth and plays a central role in many environmental and geochemical processes. Here we used amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy (AFM) operated in a particular regime to visualize single ions close to ...
Treatment of a DMA solution of anilide 1 with a catalytic amount of palladium acetate (0.025 equiv) and XPhos (0.05 equiv) in the presence of potassium carbonate (2.0 equiv) at 100 C afforded dihydroquinolin-2-ones spiro-fused to dihydrofuranyl, indolinyl, ...
Cr poisoning is a well-identified performance degradation process in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). While stainless steel (SS) interconnects have been identified to be a significant source of Cr, the Cr contribution from balance-of-plant (BoP) components l ...
This study investigates the coupled substitution of metakaolin and limestone in Portland cement (PC). The mechanical properties were studied in mortars and the microstructural development in pastes by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry analysis, mercury i ...
Bank filtration induces flow of surface water through a hydraulically connected aquifer by excess pumping from a production well in the aquifer. This review presents the four main geochemical processes relevant for inorganic geochemistry, with a focus on i ...
Two new tripodal heptadentate ligands, H4dpaba (N,N'-bis[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]aspartic acid) and H3mpatcn(1,4-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-7-[(6-carboxypyridin-2-yl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazacyclononane), which bear one or two picolinate pendant arms, have been ...
If nanotechnology proves to be successful for bulk applications, large quantities of nanocomposites are likely to end up in municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) plants. Various studies indicate that nanoobjects might be harmful to human health and the ...
The reactivity of five di-n-butyltin(IV) complexes, n-Bu2Sn(OR)(2) (1), n-Bu2SnO (3), n-Bu2Sn(OR)O (4), (n-Bu2SnO)(2)(CO2) (6) and (n-Bu2SnO)(6)(n-Bu2SnOR)(2)(CO3) (7) (R = CH3), with CO2, suggested as possible catalyst precursors and key-interme ...
A BaCO3 slurry, containing radioactive C-14, is produced during the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. This slurry is encapsulated in a Portland-blastfurnace slag composite cement. The effect of BaCO3 on the hydration of OPC and Portland-blastfurnace slag ...
Recent studies have shown that electrolysis can be an efficient process for nitrogen removal from urine. These studies have been conducted with urea solutions or fresh urine, but urine collected in NoMix toilets and urinals has a substantially different co ...
