Heterogeneous ozonation kinetics of phenanthrene at the air–ice interface

The kinetics of surfactant desorption at the airsolution interface

Refraction at the Interface of a Lossy Metamaterial

The refraction phenomenon at the interface of an ordinary material and a lossy metamaterial has been investigated. For oblique incidence on the lossy metamaterial, the planes of constant amplitude of the refracted wave are parallel to the interface and the plane of constant phases make a real angle with the interface (real refraction angle). The real refraction angle and hence, the real refract...

Computational prediction of heterogeneous interface properties at the atomic level

The interactions across interfaces between different phases govern the behavior of a wide range of systems of high technological importance, such as catalysts (gas/solid), energy storage (liquid/solid or solid/solid) or biomedicine (liquid/solid), just to cite a few examples. The simulation of such systems poses considerable challenges due to their inherent complexity, which often cannot be cap...

Development of chemical reaction kinetics of VOC ozonation

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) causes many health issues related to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The indoor air quality improvement has been instituted by various organizations based on the concentration level of different pollutants. Though VOCs in indoor air has various adverse health effects and are primary reason for sick building syndrome, there are only few abatement technologies currentl...

Heterogeneous ozonation of suspended malathion and chlorpyrifos particles.

The heterogeneous ozonation of suspended malathion and chlorpyrifos particles are studied in real-time with a vacuum ultraviolet photoionization aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometer (VUV-ATOFMS). The pesticide particles with the diameter of hundreds of nanometers are generated by the homogeneous nucleation method using azelaic acid as nucleus. The reactions are carried out in an aerosol rea...
