Sewage Sludge Derived Materials for CO2 Adsorption
2021
The study tried to contribute to solving two serious environmental issues: CO2 reducing and sewage sludge disposal. Thus, sewage-sludge-derived materials were obtained in order to be evaluated for CO2 adsorption capacity. Therefore, the char resulted after the sewage sludge pyrolysis was subjected to oxidation and chemical activation processes by using different quantities of alkaline hydroxide. One of the obtained materials, activated with a lower quantity of alkaline hydroxide, was also treated with acid chloride. Further, the materials were structural and texturally characterized, and material treated with acid chloride was used for CO2 adsorption tests, due to high surface area and pore…

The reduction of tris-dithiolene complexes of molybdenum(vi) and tungsten(vi) by hydroxide ion: kinetics and mechanism
2004
The kinetic study of the spontaneous reduction of some neutral tris-dithiolene complexes [ML3] of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI), (L = S2C6H42−, S2C6H3CH32− and S2C2(CH3)22−; M = Mo or W) by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran-water solutions demonstrates that OH− is an effective reductant. Their reduction is fast, clean and quantitative. Depending upon both the molar ratio in which the reagents are mixed and the amount of water present, one- or two-electron reductions of these tris-dithiolene complexes were observed. If Bu4NOH is present in low concentration or/and at high concentrations of water, the total transformation of the neutral M(VI) complex into the monoanionic M(V) …

Water colloidal solutions of iron oxide nanoparticles coated with tetramethylammonium hydroxide were synthesized by co-precipitation methods. Dimensional analyses were accomplished by transmission ...
On-line determination of bipyridylium herbicides in water by HPLC
1997
Selective on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography determination (HPLC) of diquat, paraquat and difenzoquat from environmental water samples has been accomplished with Graphitized Carbon Black (GCB) as both extraction and analytical columns. The method involved passing of 50 mL of water through a cartridge filled with Carbograph. In the elution step, the herbicides were transferred from the cartridge to the analytical column (Hypercarb) by mean of a gradient of pH 3 aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) and ammonium sulphate and methanol. Hypercarb columns were found to give a low probability of false positives for bypiridylium herbicides and are ve…
Characterization of acrylic resins used for restoration of artworks by pyrolysis-silylation-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with hexamethyldisil…
2006
A procedure based on the technique of the pyrolysis-GC/MS has been applied, in this work, in order to determine the composition of synthetic acrylic resins employed in artworks. The method is based on the on line derivatization of these resins using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Results obtained have been compared with those others from direct pyrolysis and in situ thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). Sensitivity using HMDS as derivatising reagent is found similar to that from direct pyrolysis and methylation with TMAH. Better resolution of the most representative peaks has been also obtained. Additionally, this method reduces the formation…
Analytical characterization of diterpenoid resins present in pictorial varnishes using pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with on line tr…
2005
Abstract A procedure based on the technique of the pyrolysis–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC–MS) has been applied, in this work, in order to determine the composition of diterpenoid resin employed in art works. The method is based on the on line derivatization of these resins using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Results obtained were compared with those previously reported in literature from Venice turpentine, Strasbourg turpentine, colophony, sandarac and Manila copal using this same method and with those others from in situ thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). Canada balsam, copper resinate and Copaiba balsam have been also ana…
Alkoxide-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxides magnetic nanosheets as efficient water oxidation electrocatalysts
2016
Alkoxide-intercalated NiFe-layered double hydroxides were synthesized via the nonaqueous methanolic route. These nanoplatelets exhibit high crystalline quality as demonstrated by atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy combined with electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Moreover, the presence of the alkoxide moieties has been unambiguously demonstrated by means of thermogravimetric analysis coupled to a mass spectrometer. These NiFe-LDHs can be exfoliated in water or organic solvents and processed into homogeneous ultra-thin films (< 3nm thick) with the assistance of O2-plasma. The study of their behaviour as water oxidation electrocatalysts has shown an outstanding perf…
Fundamental Insights into the Covalent Silane Functionalization of NiFe Layered Double Hydroxides
2020
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are a class of 2D anionic materials exhibiting wide chemical versatility and promising applications in different fields, ranging from catalysis to energy storage and conversion. However, the covalent chemistry of this kind of 2D materials is still barely explored. Herein, the covalent functionalization with silanes of a magnetic NiFe-LDH is reported. The synthetic route consists of a topochemical approach followed by anion exchange reaction with surfactant molecules prior to covalent functionalization with the (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) molecules. The functionalized NiFe-APTES was fully characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, e…
Structural Characterisation of Complex Layered Double Hydroxides and TGA-GC-MS Study on Thermal Response and Carbonate Contamination in Nitrate- and …
2015
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are versatile materials used for intercalating bioactive molecules in the fields of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics, with the purpose of protecting them from degradation, enhancing their water solubility to increase bioavailability and improving their pharmacokinetic properties and formulation stability. Moreover, LDHs are used in various technological applications to improve stability and processability. The crystal chemistry of hydrotalcite-like compounds was investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), automated electron diffraction tomography (ADT) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)-GC-MS to shed light on the mechanisms involved in io…
