Enhanced in situ bioremediation of chlorinated solvents is, especially in source zone remediation, often limited through the accompanied high acidification of groundwater. This acid built-up originating from the dechlorination itself and fermentation produ ...
We review fundamental and applied acid-base equilibrium chemistry useful to microfluidic electrokinetics. We present elements of acid-base equilibrium reactions and derive rules for pH calculation for simple buffers. We also present a general formulation t ...
A combination of weak Lewis acid (LiCl) and weak Bronsted acid (hexafluoroisopropanol, HFIP) promotes efficiently the Friedel-Crafts reaction of electron-rich arom. compds. with Et glyoxylate. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
A complexing gel integrated microelectrode (CGIME) for direct measurements of free metal ion concentrations in natural waters has been developed. It is prepared by the successive deposition of microlayers of a chelating resin, an antifouling agarose gel an ...
Oxygen reduction catalyzed by cobalt(II) (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin) [Co(OEP)] at soft interfaces is studied by voltammetry and biphasic reactions. When Co(OEP) is present in a solution of 1,2-dichloroethane in contact with an aqueous acidic s ...
The conformation and titrn. curves of weak polyampholytes are examd. using Monte Carlo simulations with screened Coulomb potentials in the Grand Canonical ensemble. Two different types of monomers are considered. Depending on the soln. pH, monomers A are w ...
Chloro- and hydrido-complexes of ruthenium(II) with potassium (4-diphenylphosphino)benzenesulfonate (pTPPMS) were prepared and their properties were compared with those of the related complexes of (3-diphenylphosphino)benzenesulfonates. An X-ray crystal st ...
Cobalt porphine (CoP) dissolved in the organic phase of a biphasic system is used to catalyze O2 reduction by an electron donor, ferrocene (Fc). Using voltammetry at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES), it is possible to driv ...
Aq. solns. of formic acid were exptl. investigated in a modified sweeping gas membrane distn. (SGMD) configuration. A thermostated sweeping gas was used in order to enhance the mass transfer performance. A new tubular module was designed and built for this ...
Hydrolysis and hydrogenation of [RhCl(tppms)(3)] (1) and trans-[RhCl(CO)(tppms(2)] (2) was studied in aqueous solutions in a wide pH range (2 < pH < 11) in the presence of excess TPPMS (3 -diphenylphosphinyl-benzenesulfonic acid sodium salt). In acidic sol ...
