Iodine oxoacids enhance nucleation of sulfuric acid particles in the atmosphere

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Mihnea Surdu, Lubna Dada, André Welti, Houssni Lamkaddam

The main nucleating vapor in the atmosphere is thought to be sulfuric acid (H2SO4), stabilized by ammonia (NH3). However, in marine and polar regions, NH3 is generally low, and H2SO4 is frequently found together with iodine oxoacids [HIOx, i.e., iodic acid ...

The influence of the filler effect on the sulfate requirement of blended cements

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

In some blended cements, the optimum amount of sulfate addition differs from that observed in OPC. This study aims to understand the mechanism behind the impact of two SCMs, namely metakaolin and limestone, on the sulfate balance of blended cements. No sig ...

Methane Production from Microalgae via Continuous Catalytic Supercritical Water Gasification: Development of Catalysts and Sulfur Removal Techniques

Gaël Peng

This doctoral thesis aims at demonstrating the technical feasibility of methane production from microalgae via continuous catalytic supercritical water gasification (CSCWG). This work focuses on three different research approaches: (i) assessment and impro ...

Selective detection of Al3+ and citric acid with a fluorescent amphiphile

Kay Severin, Ziya Köstereli

An amphiphilic fluorescent dye with a disulfonated BODIPY head group and a heptadecyl side chain is described. In buffered aqueous solution, the amphiphile can form aggregates with a critical micelle concentration of similar to 20 mu M. The aggregation of ...

Field effect modulated nanofluidic diode membrane based on Al2O3/W heterogeneous nanopore arrays

Jürgen Brugger, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Songmei Wu, Fabien Patrick Wildhaber

We developed Al2O3/W heterogeneous nanopore arrays for field effect modulated nanofluidic diodes. They are fabricated by transferring self-organized nanopores of anodic aluminium oxide into a W thin film. The nanopores are ∼20 nm in diameter and 400 nm in ...

A Pyridinol Acyl Cofactor in the Active Site of [Fe]-hydrogenase Evidenced by the Reactivity of Model Complexes

Xile Hu, Dafa Chen, Bowen Hu

The decomposition reaction of a water-soluble complex (see scheme; 1) in H2O confirms the existence of a unique bidentate pyridinol cofactor in [Fe]-hydrogenase. This unique moiety is confirmed for the first time by the decomposition of a well-defined mode ...

Scaling submillimeter single-cycle transients toward megavolts per centimeter field strength via optical rectification in the organic crystal OH1

Christoph Peter Hauri

We present the generation of high-power single-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses in the organic salt crystal 2-[3-(4-hydroxystyryl)-5.5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene]malononitrile or OH1. Broadband THz radiation with a central frequency of 1.5 THz (lambda(c) = 2 ...

Modelling Hydration Kinetics of Cementitous Systems

Aditya Kumar

The modeling platform µic has been extended to study the hydration of cement based systems. It is shown that the hydration kinetics of alite can be described through the implementation of two mechanisms: a solution controlled dissolution (SCD) mechanism fo ...

Investigation of Sulfate Attack by Experimental and Thermodynamic Means

Wolfgang Kunther

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 ...

Influence of chelating agents on the tribocorrosion of tungsten in sulphuric acid solution

Michel Declercq, Didier Bouvet, Stefano Mischler, Jelena Stojadinovic

The corrosion and tribocorrosion of tungsten in 0.01 M H2SO4, without and with the presence of lactic acid and phosphoric acid as chelating agents was studied here. ...
