Multifunctional ultra-high vacuum apparatus for studies of the interactions of chemical warfare agents on complex surfaces Report Title A fundamental understanding of the surface chemistry of chemical warfare agents is needed to fully predict the interaction of these toxic molecules with militarily relevant materials, catalysts, and environmental surfaces. For example, rules for predicting the ...

Technology for the rapid detection and identification of chemical agent (CA) residues on solid sample surfaces is being developed at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). The development effort is being undertaken because of the critical need for rapid and specific characterization of suspect environmental samples, preferably on-site. Secondary ion mass spectromet...

Trachoo, N. Biofilms and the food industry Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2003, 25(6) : 807-815 In the past, interest in biofilms was limited to research related to water distribution systems, waste water treatment and dental plaques. Biofilm has become a more popular research topic in many other areas in recent years including food safety. Biofilm formation can compromise the sanitation of f...

Sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) to hydrophilic inorganic surfaces in aqueous systems is an important process, because HOCs are common contaminants and the sorption controls their concentration and rate of transport in the environment. Furthermore, in environmental chemistry and analysis, sorption of HOCs to inorganic surfaces, in particular to untreated (uncoated) glass surface...

In recent years, semi-autonomous and teleoperated mobile robots have been designed implemented to perform various disinfection tasks in different environments. Since the end of 2019 new created or modified contribute needs caused by COVID-19 pandemic. Most these platforms currently use are based on means either UVC rays approved chemical products. this paper, description a robot against SARS-Co...
