In the title compound, [Co(C11H12NO6P)(C6H5N3)2]·C6H5N3, the 2,2'-[N-(phenyl-phospho-rylmethyl-κO)aza-nedi-yl]di-acetate dianion N,O,O',O''-chelates the CoII cation and two 1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole mol-ecules coordinate to the CoII cation to complete the slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination. In the crystal, classical O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mo...

The 7.5% carbon dioxide (CO2) inhalation model is used to provoke acute anxiety, for example to investigate the effects of anxiety on cognitive processes, or the efficacy of novel anxiolytic agents. However, little is known about the relationship of baseline anxiety sensitivity or trait anxiety (i.e., anxiety proneness), with an individual's response to the 7.5% CO2 challenge. We examined data ...

Dry reforming of methane for the production of hydrogen and syngas has attracted much attention from both industrial and environmental aspects. The major problem encountered in the application of this process is the rapid deactivation of the catalyst, which is mainly due to coke accumulation and sintering of the catalyst. As an alternative to reduce the coke formation, the combination of CO2 re...

We monitored soil respiration (Rs), soil temperature (T) and volumetric water content (VWC%) over four years in one typical conventional and four alternative cropping systems to understand Rs in different cropping systems with their respective management practices and environmental conditions. The control was conventional double-cropping system (winter wheat and summer maize in one year--Con.W/...

A novel Chemical Looping Reforming (CLR) process is proposed in which a highly recyclable iron oxide composite particle is reduced with coal and then oxidized back with steam to generate hydrogen. The reduction of iron oxide with coal results in a mixture of CO2 and H2O in the exhaust stream which after water condensation provides a ready to sequester relatively pure CO2 stream. This eliminates...

Sun, Xing-Guo, James E. Hansen, William W. Stringer, Hua Ting, and Karlman Wasserman. Carbon dioxide pressure-concentration relationship in arterial and mixed venous blood during exercise. J Appl Physiol 90: 1798–1810, 2001.—To calculate cardiac output by the indirect Fick principle, CO2 concentrations (CCO2) of mixed venous (Cv#CO2) and arterial blood are commonly estimated from PCO2, based on...

We report a large set of 295 interfacial carbon dioxide (CO2) flux measurements obtained in the Scheldt estuary in November 2002 and April 2003, using the floating chamber method. From concomitant measurements of the air-water CO2 gradient, we computed the gas transfer velocity of CO2. The gas transfer velocity is well correlated to wind speed and a simple linear regression function gives the m...

Pyrolysis is an attractive thermal conversion technology used to produce bio-oil and some chemicals. In this study, we investigated the pyrolysis of sewage sludge under N2 and CO2 atmosphere at various temperatures (350-750°C) in a rotating fixed bed reactor. For under N2 atmosphere, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) shows two major reaction peaks centered at 300 and 500°C. However, if CO2 was...

Artificial photosynthesis, the photochemical fixation and recycling of CO2 back to hydrocarbon fuels using sunlight and water, is both a significant challenge and an opportunity that, if realized, could have a revolutionary impact on our energy system. Herein, we demonstrate one of the first examples using biomass derived hierarchical porous photocatalysts for CO2 photo-fixation into sustainabl...

In this chapter we would like to highlight and analyze the main problems of transmission and propagation of CO2 laser radiation in the hollow core microstructured fibers (HC MFs). It is well known that there is a strong need for the fiber delivery systems for 10.6 μm CO2 lasers due to a wide range of CO2 laser applications in medicine, spectrometry, industry, military applications and in other ...
