Linking transformations of organic carbon to post-treatment performance in a biological water recycling system

Ozone, electrolysis and granular activated carbon (GAC) were examined as potential post-treatments to followa household-scale biologically activated membrane bioreactor (BAMBi), treating a wash water containing trace urine and feces contamination. Each pos ...

Solvent- and Catalyst-Free Carbon Dioxide Capture and Reduction to Formate with Borohydride Ionic Liquid

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kun Zhao, Heena Yang

The Cover Feature shows the application of a pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid with a borohydride anion to simultaneously capture and reduce large amounts of CO2. The ionic liquid cation interacts with CO2, allowing the borohydride to fix and reduce it to t ...

Kinetic processes in the high-temperature pressure-infiltration of Al into Al2O3

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Marta Fornabaio, Gionata Schneider

We explore the influence (i) of the interaction between aluminium and alumina, and (ii) of sodium impurities present in Bayer alumina, on the pressure infiltration of alumina particle preforms with molten aluminium. At 1000°C or above, although the alumini ...

Effect of PEM fuel cell porous media compression on in-plane transport phenomena

Mahbod Heidari

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in the gas diffusion layer (GDL) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is investigated using an ex-situ experimental setup. The mass transport phenomena is investigated in carbon paper and carbon cloth GDLs and at different compr ...

Catalyst Evolution Enhances Production of Xylitol from Acetal-Stabilized Xylose

Jeremy Luterbacher, Masoud Talebi Amiri, Ydna Marie Questell-Santiago, Benjamin Pierre Le Monnier, Jher Hau Yeap

We demonstrate a catalytic process for xylitol production based on the volatility and unique reactivity of diformylxylose (DFX), which can be produced at near theoretical yield from biomass and, contrary to xylose, can be easily purified by distillation. T ...

Gas-sieving zeolitic membranes fabricated by condensation of precursor nanosheets

Michele Ceriotti, Kumar Varoon Agrawal, Luis Francisco Villalobos Vazquez de la Parra, Mostapha Dakhchoune, Claudia Esther Avalos, Rocio Semino Barbaresi, Yu Han

The synthesis of molecular-sieving zeolitic membranes by the assembly of building blocks, avoiding the hydrothermal treatment, is highly desired to improve reproducibility and scalability. Here we report exfoliation of the sodalite precursor RUB-15 into cr ...

Porous granules by freeze granulation of Pickering emulsions stabilized with halloysite particles

Paul Bowen

Pickering emulsions stabilized with a natural silicate mineral, halloysite, were dried by freeze granulation in order to prepare porous granules. Different formulations were studied, by varying the pH of the suspension, the ionic strength and with the addi ...

Cracks, porosity and microstructure of Ti modified polymer-derived SiOC revealed by absorption-, XRD- and XRF-contrast 2D and 3D imaging

Jürgen Brugger, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicola Casati, Lorenz Hagelüken

Morphology, phase composition, cracks and porosity are investigated in monolithic Ti modified SiOC polymer-derived ceramics pyrolyzed at 1000°C and 1400°C using synchrotron X-ray full field absorption- contrast tomographic microscopy and scanning XRF- and ...

Low‐Temperature Intramolecular [4+2] Cycloaddition of Allenes with Arenes for the Synthesis of Diene Ligands

Rosario Scopelliti, Jérôme Waser, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Matthew Wodrich, Durga Prasada Rao Hari, Guillaume Dominique Pisella, Artem Tsymbal

The intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition between arenes and allenes first reported by Himbert gives rapid access to rigid polycyclic scaffolds. Herein, we report a one‐pot oxyalkynylation/cycloaddition reaction proceeding under mild conditions (23–90 °C) and ...

Dynamic wetting in pressure-infiltration of ceramic particle preforms by molten metal

Gionata Schneider

This thesis investigates the interaction between mechanically induced flow of a liquid metal into a porous solid, and kinetic effects at the triple line. The approach is experimental and focuses on metal-ceramic systems for which the literature gives value ...
