Abiotic and biotic reductive dechlorination with chlorinated ethene dense non-aqueous-phase liquid (DNAPL) source zones can lead to significant fluxes of complete and incomplete transformation products. Accurate assessment of in situ rates of transformation and the potential for product sequestration requires knowledge of the distribution of these products among the solid, aqueous, and organic ...

  Abstract:   The aims of this research were to investigate the effects of semisolid metal (SSM) processing parameters (i.e., shear rates –times – temperatures combinations) on the primary solidification products and isothermal holding duration, subsequent to cessation of stirring on the secondary solidification of Al-Si (A356) alloy.   The dendrite fragmentation was found to be the governing m...

Recently, we have parametrized Sutton-Chen type empirical many body force elds for FCC transition metals to study the thermodynamic, mechanical, transport and phase behavior of metals and their alloys. We have utilized these potentials in lattice dynamics calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to describe the structure, thermodynamic, mechanical and transport properties of pure metals ...

Highly stable glasses of tris-naphthylbenzene transform into a liquid when annealed above the glass transition temperature T_{g}. In contrast to the predictions of standard models, the observed transformation is spatially inhomogeneous. Secondary ion mass spectrometry experiments on isotopically labeled multilayer films show that the liquid grows into the stable glass with sharp growth fronts i...

The aim of the present work was to improve the C:O ratio in biomass by preserving the lignin macrostructure of lignocellulosic feed. The intention of liquid phase pyrolysis is to liquefy biomass and prepare biomass for further upgrading steps like hydrogenation and deoxygenation. Pyrolysis was carried out in a non-aqueous liquid phase heat carrier. The process was carried out in a semi-batch re...

This paper deals with the identification of reaction and mass-transfer rates from concentrations measured in gas-liquid reaction systems. It is assumed that the reactions take place in the liquid bulk only. The identification proceeds in two steps: (i) estimation of the extents of reaction and mass transfer from concentration measurements, and (ii) estimation of the parameters of the individual...

Stable suspensions of eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn) liquid metal nanoparticles form by probe-sonicating the metal in an aqueous solution. Positively-charged molecular or macromolecular surfactants in the solution, such as cetrimonium bromide or lysozyme, respectively, stabilize the suspension by interacting with the negative charges of the surface oxide that forms on the metal. The liquid met...

the present investigation was aimed at studying the effect of incubation period, media, vitamins and solvents on biotransformation of albendazole by cunninghamella blakesleeana. the transformation was evaluated and identified by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) and the structures of the transformed products were assigned by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (lc/ms/ms) ...
