This paper explores the degradation of a model pollutant, bisphenol A, by an advanced oxidation process that combines sonolysis, Fe2+, and TiO2 in a photoassisted process. Experiments were done under saturated oxygen conditions. The effect of different Fe2 ...
Bone is considered in two different composite mechanics frameworks: first as an organic inorganic two phase composite, and second as a fluid-saturated porous solid. Experimental data from previous studies, in which the mechanical responses of bone or colla ...
Particle shape and distribution of chemical compounds within individual particles are implied in the parameterizations used in air quality and climate models for radiative transfer, volatility, and mass transfer. In this study we employ Scanning Transmissi ...
Colloidal organic matter from wastewater treatment plants was characterized and examined with respect to its role in metal distribution by using tangential flow ultrafiltration, liquid chromatography coupled with organic carbon and UV detectors, and an asy ...
Solid-liquid interfaces play a fundamental role in surface electrochemistry(1), catalysis(2), wetting(3), self-assembly(4) and biomolecular functions(5). The interfacial energy determines many of the properties of such interfaces, including the arrangement ...
A three dimensional chemical transport model (PMCAMx) is applied to the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) in order to simulate the chemical composition and mass of the major PM1 (fine) and PM1-10 (coarse) inorganic components and determine the effect of ...
Degradation of the biorecalcitrant pharmaceutical micropollutant ibuprofen (IBP) was carried out by means of several advanced oxidation hybrid configurations. TiO2 photocatalysis, photo-Fenton and sonolysis - all of them under solar simulated illumination ...
We report the first joint shipboard and airborne study focused on the chemical composition and water-uptake behavior of particulate ship emissions. The study focuses on emissions from the main propulsion engine of a Post-Panamax class container ship cruisi ...
Bacteria inactivation and natural organic matter oxidation in river water was simultaneously conducted via photo-Fenton reaction at "natural" pH (similar to 6.5) containing 0.6 mg L-1 of Fe3+ and 10 mg L-1 of H2O2. The experiments were carried out by using ...
Simultaneous nitrification-denitrification has been observed in aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch bubble column reactors fed with either acetate or propionate with elimination rates of up to 60-70%. Several in-situ tests under anoxic conditions were ...
