A Systematic Comparison of Two Pharmaceutical Decomposition Treatments for Wastewaters
(2012-05-15)The ever-increasing presence of pharmaceuticals in freshwater poses a dangerous threat to both humans and animals; the leaching of pharmaceuticals from poorly treated or disposed of wastewater into the environment risks ... -
Thermodynamic Probability of Formation and Magnetic Moments of FeO2(n)+ Clusters
(2013-05-23)In the field of nanoscience, interest is growing in the area of magnetic nanomaterials because of their wide range of applications. In the search for new magnetic nanomaterials, iron oxide clusters have generated much ... -
Thermodynamically Favored vs. Kinetically Favored Carbon-Sulfur Bond Activation
(2012-05-15)The study of carbon-sulfur bond activation is a topic that receives much attention because of its uses in the petroleum refining process through hydrodesulfurization (HDS). The carbon–sulfur bond activation of thioesters ... -
Two Thermoelectric Materials: Thermoelectric Properties of SnTe-SnSe and Synthesis of Skutterudite Na1+xFe4P12
(2010-06-29)This thesis examines two different types of thermoelectric materials, compounds that can convert heat energy into electrical energy. First, Stevens et al. synthesized a two-phase SnTe- SnSe system and analyzed its ...
