In Europe, because of the high production levels of livestock farming in general and pig farming in particular, animal waste management has become increasingly important to comply with the required lowering of livestock farming environmental pressure. Usually manures undergo solid/liquid separation, which generates on…

A stochastic analytical model developed for nucleation in a nanoscale phase and applied to vapor-liquid-solid growth agrees with earlier numerical simulations while providing significantly more information about parameters influencing nucleation. Future experiments may test the predictions made and lead to enhanced co…

Through the incorporation of triethylene glycol (TEG) units into platinum(II) bzimpy complexes and by various spectroscopic and microscopy studies, an unusual thermo-responsive behaviour, which is distinct from those of other ethylene glycol–pendant compounds, was observed. The unprecedented existence of the large hys…

Four outcrops of Lower Cretaceous (Barremian) karst bauxites located in Teruel (NE Spain) were analysed to determine their mineral associations and genesis related to climatic palaeoweathering events and late superimposed kaolinization processes. The materials comprise metric-sized pisolitic blocks embedded in a clay-…

The aromatization of methanol over parent HZSM-5 and the modified NiO-HZSM-5 in a fixed-bed reactor was investigated under CO2 and N2 flow. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by H2-TPR, XRD, BET, NH3-TPD, CO2-TPD and probe-molecule reaction. Compared with parent HZSM-5 in CO2 or N2 flow and with NiO-HZSM-5 i…

Conversion electrodes, the materials of choice for the next generation lithium-ion battery (LIB), are mainly limited to metal oxides. In this work, we have investigated the electrochemical performance of chemically synthesized Cu(OH)2 nanoflower arrays. A 50 : 50 composite of Cu(OH)2 and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (…

Synchrotron-based in situ X-ray near-edge absorption spectroscopy (XANES) has been used to study the valence state evolution of the vanadium ion for both the catholyte and anolyte in all-vanadium redox flow batteries (VRB) under realistic cycling conditions. The results indicate that, when using the widely used charge…

In this study, a three dimensional NiCrAl alloy foam was used as a current collector for high-power and high-capacity lithium iron phosphate batteries. A charge–discharge test revealed that at a high current rate, the electrode using a metal foam had better power performance and its capacity faded much less than in th…

A 3.6 × 10−2 M solution of a diglycolamide-functionalized task specific ionic liquid (DGA-TSIL) in [C4mim][NTf2] was used for the extraction of actinides (mainly Am) and other elements present in high level nuclear waste. The extraction of Eu3+ was relatively higher than that of Am3+ conforming to the mechanism displa…

Ge-rich ITQ-13 and ITQ-22 zeolites were degermanated by acid leaching of as-made—still containing organic template—and calcined forms. These two zeolites could be almost completely degermanated without modifying the framework structure. This behavior is different from IM-12 zeolite, which undergoes framework transform…

We introduce a type of Fresnel zone plate (FZP) in which its phase is shifted radially outward. This FZP can easily and precisely turn an incident plane wave into an annular beam at its focal plane. High efficiency and flexibility are the advantages of generating doughnut beams by this method. By performing direct cal…
