  2. 1. Catalysis for Lean NOx Reduction - Aspects of Catalyst Synthesis and Surface Acidity

    Author : Hanna Härelind Ingelsten; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lean NOx reduction; silica; alumina; FTIR; surface acidity; model catalysts; platinum; HZSM-5; w o microemulsion; aluminum-silicate; hydrocarbon;

    Abstract : From both economic and environmental perspectives it is desirable to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. One route to increase the fuel efficiency for vehicles is operation in oxygen excess. However, a major problem with this technique is the lean environment, which obstructs catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to harmless nitrogen. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sulfur-Related Conservation Concerns in Marine Archaeological Wood : The Origin, Speciation and Distribution of Accumulated Sulfur with Some Remedies for the Vasa

    Author : Yvonne Fors; Magnus Sandström; Ian MacLeod; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sulfur accumulation; marine archaeological wood; Vasa; acidity; iron; ammonia; x-ray spectroscopy; cellulose; Chemistry; Kemi; strukturkemi; Structural Chemistry;

    Abstract : Synchrotron-based sulfur spectroscopy reveals a common concern for marine archaeological wood from seawater: accumulation of reduced sulfur compounds in two pathways. The distribution of sulfur species in the oak wood cell structure was mapped by scanning x-ray spectro-microscopy (SXM). READ MORE

  5. 3. Anisotropic Protein Interactions in Salt Solutions and at Interfaces: Coarse Grained Modeling

    Author : Anil Kurut Sabanoglu; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Anisotropic interactions; protein electrostatics; phase association; surface adsorption; coarse grained models; Monte Carlo simulations;

    Abstract : Anisotropic protein interactions have a strong orientation dependence resulting from an uneven distribution of charged and hydrophobic residues on the protein surface. They play an important role in protein behaviors such as protein association, surface adsorption and phase separation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Photocatalysis for Indoor Air Cleaning : In situ FTIR and DFT Study of Acetaldehyde Photo-Oxidation on TiO2 and Sulfate-Modified TiO2

    Author : Bozhidar Stefanov; Lars Österlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TiO2; acetaldehyde; crotonaldehyde; dimer; adsorption; DFT; FTIR; photocatalysis; micro-kinetic modeling; acid–base properties; surface functionalization; Solid State Physics; Fasta tillståndets fysik; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : Acetaldehyde is among the group of VOC’s causing the so-called "sick building" syndrome. WHO has estimated that this problem, related to the indoor air-quality, affects one third of all buildings worldwide. TiO2 is an attractive material for the photocatalytic removal of VOC’s in the indoor environment. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sorption of Cs, Ba, Co, and Eu onto biotite: experiments and modelling

    Author : Pawan Kumar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cs; Biotite; Ba; titration; Eu; Co; Surface Complexation; Sorption;

    Abstract : The sorption of 134Cs, 133Ba, 60Co and 152Eu, all at about [~10-8 M] onto biotite mineral was studied using the batch method with S: L = 1:50 at three different ionic strengths (0.001, 0.01 and 0.1M NaClO4) and five different pH (5,6,7,8,9) at 25°C for up to two months in an inert atmosphere glovebox.
