Electrochemical behaviour of ferrocenes in tributylmethylphosphonium methyl sulfate mixtures with water and 1,2-dichloroethane

Electron transfer (ET) reactions in ionic liquid (IL)vertical bar organic solvent (1,2-dichloroethane, DCE) and IL vertical bar water mixtures were investigated using a Pt disk ultramicroelectrode (UME) along with ferrocene (Fc) and ferrocenemethanol (FcCH ...

Synthesis factors affecting the catalytic performance and stability of Ru/C catalysts for supercritical water gasification

Christian Ludwig, Frédéric Vogel, Gaël Peng

Catalytic supercritical water gasification of isopropanol (450 degrees C, 30 MPa) over Ru/C catalysts was carried out in a fixed-bed plug flow reactor. In the absence of Ru, isopropanol decomposed to solid carbon (coke), and H-2 over the carbon support. Th ...

Optimal water allocation in small hydropower plants between traditional and non-traditional water users: merging theory and existing practices

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Lorenzo Gorla

Water demand for hydropower production is increasing together with the consciousness of the importance of riparian ecosystems and biodiversity. Some Cantons in Switzerland and other alpine regions in Austria and in Süd Tiröl (Italy) started replacing the i ...

Study of perfomance reference compounds for the estimation of levels of emerging polar contaminants in water

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Nicolas Estoppey, Adrien Schopfer, Maria Inmaculada Carpinteiro Botana

The determination of polar organic contaminants (pesticides, pharmaceuticals and inhibitors of corrosion) in river water was carried out using POCIS as a passive sampling technique and UPLC-MS/MS as a determination technique. Several compounds with propert ...

Structure Sensitivity of 2-Methyl-3-butyn-2-ol Hydrogenation on Pd: Computational and Experimental Modeling

Lioubov Kiwi, Rocio Micaela Crespo Quesada

In the frame of DFT paradigms, the adsorption of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE) on a Pd-30 cluster, including both {100} and {111} faces, was studied along with the pathways involved in the hydrogenation, taking place on plane ...

Shot-clay MX-80 bentonite: an assessment of the hydro-mechanical behaviour

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Ali Seiphoori

This study presents the results of an experimental study conducted to characterise the hydro-mechanical behaviour of shot-clay MX-80 bentonite. In the shot-clay process, granular bentonite was mixed continuously with water and shot on the walls of a tunnel ...

Water Adsorption in Porous Metal-Organic Frameworks and Related Materials

Wendy Lee Queen

Three criteria for achieving high performing porous materials for water adsorption have been identified. These criteria deal with condensation pressure of water in the pores, uptake capacity, and recyclability and water stability of the material. Water ads ...

The human CFTR protein expressed in CHO cells activates aquaporin-3 in a cAMP-dependent pathway: study by digital holographic microscopy

Pierre Magistretti, Pierre Marquet, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Pascal Jourdain

The transmembrane water movements during cellular processes and their relationship to ionic channel activity remain largely unknown. As an example, in epithelial cells it was proposed that the movement of water could be directly linked to cystic fibrosis t ...
