Chemical equilibrium is a major factor in many natural and
industrial systems. The ability to predict ionic equilibrium is
extremely valuable in industry in solving problems without the costs
involved in full scale experiments. An example of an application in
the pulp and paper industry is the prediction of non-process...
The infrared spectra of the metaborate monomer and trimer
ions in NaC1, KC1, and KBr were studied. These spectra contain
bands due to the trimer in solid solution, in a second phase of the appropriate
potassium or sodium salt, and perhaps on adjacent lattice
sites. Furthermore, complex equilibria exist between...
A variety of laser spectroscopic methods are employed in this
thesis research for studies of CF₃NO, an interesting model
photodissociative system, and for investigation of low energy rotations
and vibrations of small molecules and low molecular weight clusters in
free jet expansions.
Nonradiative energy decay for electronically excited CF₃NO is...
This study evaluates the use and efficacy of biochar for treatment of source and nonpoint source pollutants in storm water. Biochar is the solid byproduct of incomplete combustion of biomass under low-oxygen and elevated temperature conditions (Keiluweit, 2010, Beesley and Dickinson, 2011, Bracmort, 2010). The source stock for tested biochar...
