Bromate (BrO3–) in drinking water is traditionally seen as an ozonation byproduct from the oxidation of bromide (Br–), and its formation during chlorination is usually not significant. This study shows enhanced bromate formation during chlorination of brom ...
This work investigates the influence of bicarbonate ions on the deterioration of cementitious material exposed to sulfate ions. Mortars based on a CEM I and on a CEM III/B cement were investigated. Experimental investigations were compared to thermodynamic ...
A microchip electrospray emitter with a magnetic bead trap has been designed for solid phase extraction-gradient elution-mass spectrometry (SPE-GEMS). The goal of this method is the detection of analytes at low concentrations and it is here demonstrated us ...
We present a method to perform hyper Rayleigh scattering from aqueous solutions and second harmonic scattering measurements from unlabeled interfaces of liposomes and nanoparticles in dilute solutions. The water and interfacial response can be measured on ...
This work investigates sulfate attack in complex sulfate environments by exposing different binder types to various sulfate solutions and comparing predicted phase and volume changes with experimental data. The most important aspects of this work can be gr ...
The finite-temperature yield stress of Mg-Al alloys undergoing basal slip is investigated using a recently developed parameter-free solute strengthening model. The model takes input from first-principles calculations of the dislocation/solute interaction e ...
The modelling platform mu ic [1] has been used to investigate the mechanisms occurring during the hydration of alite. It is shown that it is possible to obtain a good simulation of the hydration kinetics through the implementation of two mechanisms: a diss ...
We investigated the impact of mineral dust particles on clouds, radiation and atmospheric state during a strong Saharan dust event over Europe in May 2008, applying a comprehensive online-coupled regional model framework that explicitly treats particle mic ...
We report optimized precise alignment of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by the resist-assisted AC-dielectrophoresis (DEP) method. We can reproducibly control the alignment precision to sub-50 nm by customizing the critical DEP parameter ...
The efficiency of an operating photoelectrochemical solar-fuels-generator system is determined by the system design, the properties and morphology of the system's components, and the operational conditions. We used a previously developed model comprising o ...
