Revealing lattice disorder, oxygen incorporation and pore formation in laser induced two-photon oxidized graphene

2019

Abstract Laser induced two-photon oxidation has proven to be a reliable method to pattern and control the level of oxidation of single layer graphene, which in turn allows the development of graphene-based electronic and optoelectronic devices with an all-optical method. Here we provide a full structural and chemical description of modifications of air-suspended graphene during the oxidation process. By using different laser irradiation doses, we were able to show via transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy how graphene develops from its pristine form up to a completely oxidized, porous and amorphous carbon layer. Furt…

Mechanistic Origins of the pH Dependency in Au-Catalyzed Glycerol Electro-oxidation: Insight from First-Principles Calculations

2021

Electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol (EOG) is an attractive approach to convert surplus glycerol to value-added products. Experiments have shown that EOG activity and selectivity depend not only on the electrocatalyst but also on the electrode potential, the pH, and the electrolyte. For broadly employed gold (Au) electrocatalysts, experiments have demonstrated high EOG activity under alkaline conditions with glyceric acid as a primary product, whereas under acidic and neutral conditions Au is almost inactive producing only small amounts of dihydroxyacetone. In the present computational work, we have performed an extensive mechanistic study to understand the pH and potential dependency of …

Effect of ozone and hydrogen peroxide on off-flavor compounds and water quality in a recirculating aquaculture system

2022

The recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is an ever-developing technology for producing fish with a low environmental impact. However, off-flavors can be a major problem in RAS fish production. Off-flavor compounds are of microbial origin and are accumulated in fish flesh. They typically cause a musty and earthy taste and odor, which consumers find unacceptable. Here we hypothesized that oxidizing compounds such as ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and their combinations, referred to as advanced oxidation processes (AOP)s, can remove or decrease these compounds in water and prevent their accumulation in fish. In this study, four different oxidative treatments (O3 low (0.4 mg O3 L−1), …

Puumateriaalin kemiallinen käyttäytyminen sulfaattikeiton alkalisessa etanoliesikäsittelyssä

2002

Puun alkalisessa kuidutuksessa hiilihydraatit, pääasiassa hemiselluloosat, päätepilkkoutuvat ns. peeling-reaktion mukaisesti, jolloin reaktiotuotteina syntyy ensisijaisesti alifaattisia karboksyylihappoja. Kyseinen reaktio aiheuttaa huomattavia saantotappioita ja heikentää tuotettavan massan laatua. Hiilihydraattiketjun peeling-reaktio voidaan estää muuntamalla ketjun pelkistävä pääteryhmä kemiallisesti esimerkiksi hapettamalla. Tässä tutkimuksessa hiilihydraattien pelkistävän pääteryhmän hapettaminen tehtiin hapella, jonka imeytymistä alkaliseen esikäsittelyliuokseen tehostettiin etanolilisäyksen avulla. Vertailun vuoksi esikäsittelyjä tehtiin myös pelkällä natriumhydroksidillä typpiilmake…

Alusveden hapetuksen vaikutukset Vesijärven pohjaeläimistöön - vuoden 2012 tulokset

2013

[Johdanto] Tämän Lahden Vesijärveä koskevan pohjaeläinselvityksen tavoitteena oli selvittää vuonna 2010 aloitetun laajamittaisen alusveden hapetuksen vaikutuksia järven syvännepohjaeläimistön tilaan. Hapetuksen vaikutusten esiin saamiseksi hapetusvuosien tilaa verrattiin vuonna 2009 tehtyyn esiselvitykseen (Hynynen & Salmelin 2010), jossa selvitettiin Lahden Vesijärven pohjaeläimistöä ennen järven syvänteiden hapetusta sekä kahden ensim-mäisen hapetusvuoden tuloksiin (Hynynen 2011, Tolonen & Hynynen 2012). Lahden edustalla sijaitsevaa Enonselän syvännealuetta hapetetaan yhdeksällä päällysvettä alusveteen pumppaavalla hapettimella (Salmi et al. 2010). Hankkeista vastaa Lahden kaupungin tekni…

Alusveden hapetuksen ja PHOSLOCK-käsittelyn vaikutukset Kymijärven syvännepohjaeläimistöön - vuoden 2012 tulokset.

2013

[Johdanto] Tämä toinen Kymijärven syvännepohjaeläimistöä koskeva tutkimus toteutettiin syksyllä 2012. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää järven kunnostustoimena toteutetun hapetuksen sekä kesällä 2012 suoritetun PHOSLOCK-käsittelyn vaikutuksia Kymijärven syvänteiden pohjaeläimistöön ja ekologiseen tilaan. Järven pohjoista Myllypohjan syvännettä on hapetettu kesästä 2008 alkaen hapekasta päällysvettä alusveteen pumppaavalla Mixox-hapettimella (Kukkonen 2011). Alkukesästä 2012 eteläisessä Lapinkiven syvänteessä on järven kunnostustoimena lisäksi toteutettu PHOSLOCK-käsittely, jossa bentoniittisaveen liitetyt lantaani kationit (La³⁺) sitovat pohjaan laskeutuessaan valtaosan veden reaktiiv…

Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of the Redox Behavior of the Heterodichalcogenido Ligands [(EPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]− (E = S, Se): Cyclic Catio…

2008

The two-electron oxidation of the lithium salts of the heterodichalcogenidoimidodiphosphinate anions [(EPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]− (1a, E = S; 1b, E = Se) with iodine yields cyclic cations [(EPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]+ as their iodide salts [(SPiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]I (2a) and [(SePiPr2)(TePiPr2)N]I (2b). The five-membered rings in 2a and 2b both display an elongated E−Te bond as a consequence of an interaction between tellurium and the iodide anion. One-electron reduction of 2a and 2b with cobaltocene produces the neutral dimers (EPiPr2NPiPr2Te−)2 (3a, E = S; 3b, E = Se), which are connected exclusively through a Te−Te bond. Two-electron reduction of 2a and 2b with 2 equiv of cobaltocene regenerates the corresp…

The role of oxidation treatments before and after CVD synthesis of graphene on copper catalytic surface

2021

Graphene is a sheet of honeycomb bonded carbon, that is only one atom thick. Aside from its remarkable strength, graphene has great conducting and photochemical prop erties. Due to its unique properties, it can be used as viable option for rare metals in circuits and in new type of measuring components. To express these properties at their best, graphene should be single crystal and as clean as possible. In this bachelor thesis, different treatment options for catalytic metal surface for graphene synthesis are studied in chemical vapor deposition growth. Different options to treat the catalytic metal layer were studied, such as changes in gas compositions in annealing process, electropolish…

Heterogeneous fenton oxidation using magnesium ferrite nanoparticles for ibuprofen removal from wastewater: optimization and kinetics studies

2020

In this study, the catalytic properties of Fenton-like catalyst based on magnesium ferrite nanoparticles for IBP degradation were examined. Structural and morphological studies showed the low crystallinity and mesoporous structure for the catalyst obtained via a glycine-nitrate method. The influences of catalyst dosage, oxidant concentration, and solution pH on the pollutant degradation were investigated. The pseudo-first-order model describes kinetic data, and under optimal condition (catalyst dose of 0.5 g L-1, H2O2 concentration of 20.0 mM, and pH of 8.0), apparent rate constant reached 0.091 min-1. It was shown that Fenton reaction was mainly induced by iron atoms on the catalyst surfac…
