In this thesis, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of noble gas atoms and methane molecule is applied to the structure studies of solid microporous materials (molecular sieves). This is an indirect method, where changes to the spectral parameters (i.e. isotropic and anisotropic nuclear shielding tensors) of the adsorbate induced by the investigated environment are measured at variabl...

Exploiting cooperative effects between Na and FeII centres present in tris(amide) ferrate complexes has led to the chemoselective ferration of pentafluorobenzene, benzene, toluene, anisole, pyridine being realised at room temperature. The importance this bimetallic partnership is demonstrated by neither relevant sodium amide (NaHMDS or NaTMP) nor Fe(HMDS)2 efficiently metallating these substrat...

in this study, the blast furnace slag was used as absorbing bed and then, its ionic adsorption was studied. for this reason, various experimental parameters such as ph, contact time and the primary ion concentration were investigated. the remaining concentrations of ions such as; mn2+ and fe2+ in water were measured by atomic adsorption spectroscopy. the chemical and phase composition of slag, ...

Three-dimensional, microporous Cu6Sn5–Sn architectures were created by electrodeposition of copper and tin onto sintered copper foam substrates and evaluated as anodes for lithium-ion batteries. The electrodes were characterized before and after cycling by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Before cycling, the electrochemically deposited f...

Recent research trends in the development of ion exchange membranes and their use in separation processes with chemical reactions are reviewed. Emphasis in research on the ion exchange membrane is trending toward analysis of micro-structure of the membranes and to development of new functionalized ion exchange membranes in response to industrial requirements. Separation processes with chemical ...

The separation and purification of various elements by ion exchange chromatography takes advantage of the variation of the electrostatic bond energies of ions in solution. Thus, the two main controlling factors in ion exchange chromatography are the ionic charge (z) and the ionic radius (r). These two are combined in the ionic potential – z/r – that can be used to compare relative electrostatic...
