1 The equilibrium coverage of metal electrodes in contact with an electrolyte has been addressed by periodic quantum-chemical calculations based density functional theory. The electrolyte has been treated in a grand-canonical approach using the concept of the computational hydrogen electrode. After briefly reviewing the theory and illustrating it using the co-adsorption of bromide and hydrogen ...

A simple and rapid capillary electrophoresis method for low-molecular mass carboxylic acids measurement in coffee has been optimised and validated. Regarding separation conditions, phosphate concentration in the background electrolyte, surfactant type [cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), tetradecyltri methylammonium bromide (TTAB) and hexadimethrine bromide (HDB)], percentages of organic mod...

Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is being increasingly used in drinking water treatment. It is important to understand how its application to different types of water may influence finished water quality, particularly as anthropogenic activity continues to impact the quality of source waters. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of inorganic precursors on the formation of regulat...
