The reactivity of phenolic compounds can be drastically affected by the electronic nature of the substituting groups. In this work, the effect of physico-chemical properties on the reactivity via photo-assisted Fenton catalysis is reported for several para ...
Adsorption of charged species at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) is simulated taking into account both the mutual influence between the potential dependent surface excess charge and the potential distribution between the ...
Gas and particle-phase organic carbon compounds soluble in water (e.g., WSOC) were measured simultaneously in Atlanta throughout the summer of 2007 to investigate gas/particle partitioning of ambient secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Previous studies have e ...
Thermodynamic solubility calculations are normally only related to thermodynamic equilibria in solution. In this paper, we extend the use of such solubility calculations to help elucidate possible precipitation reaction pathways during the entire reaction. ...
Linear amides, prepd. in one step by the Ugi four-component reaction, were converted to 3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-3-ones or to 2-(2-oxoindolin-1-yl)acetamides dependent on the catalytic conditions. While microwave irradn. was found to be determinant on the rea ...
Three Cu-TiB2 alloys (0.45, 1.6, 2.5 wt.% TiB2) have been prepared by a combination of in situ reaction and rapid solidification under optimized conditions. The relationship between microstructure, properties and in situ reaction condition for these Cu-TiB ...
In this study, we characterize the CCN activity of the water-soluble organics in biomass burning aerosol. The aerosol after collection upon filters is dissolved in water using sonication. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic components are fractionated from a porti ...
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 ...
Group contribution methods for the calculation of an activity coefficient such as UNIFAC (universal factorial activity coefficient) currently do not take into account sterical effects. Consequently one of the major deficiencies of such methods is their ina ...
An on-line pH monitoring method based on mid-infrared spectroscopy relevant to bioprocesses is presented. This approach is non-invasive and does not require the addition of indicators or dyes, since it relies on the analysis of species of common buffers us ...
