Bifunctional Amidophosphonate Molecules for Uranium Extraction in Nitrate Acidic Media

Uranium Extraction from Solid Waste as Nitrate Complex with D2EHPA, TOPO and their Synergistic Mixture

Noble metal-free bifunctional oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction acidic media electro-catalysts

Identification of low cost, highly active, durable completely noble metal-free electro-catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in PEM based water electrolysis and metal air batteries remains one of the major unfulfilled scientific and technological challenges of PEM based acid mediated electro-catalysts. In contr...

Quantitative analyses of bifunctional molecules.

Small molecules can be discovered or engineered to bind tightly to biologically relevant proteins, and these molecules have proven to be powerful tools for both basic research and therapeutic applications. In many cases, detailed biophysical analyses of the intermolecular binding events are essential for improving the activity of the small molecules. These interactions can often be characterize...

Pyrite dissolution in acidic media

Oxidation of pyrite in aqueous solutions in contact with air (oxygen 20%) was studied at 25°C using short-term batch experiments. Fe and SO4 2 were the only dissolved Fe and S species detected in these solutions. After a short period, R [S]tot/[Fe]tot stabilized from 1.25 at pH 1.5 to 1.6 at pH 3. These R values were found to be consistent with previously published measurements (as calculated f...
