answer. However, there is no reason why reactions cannot be carried out on such devices. Since it does not require the investment of a large chemical plant, the reactions can be performed where required, thus reducing the need to transport hazardous chemicals across countries. Since many reactors can be constructed on a single chip, and many chips located in the same area, it is evident that th...

The possibility and usefulness of sinple liquid models is reported. The importance of van der Waals forces for liquid water and aqueous solutions is discussed and compared with the solubility of water in nonpolar solvents and as well as of nonpolar solvents in water. Both systems could be understood as equilibrium of few water monomers. The network of H-bonded water molecules seems to be less i...

varying degrees of water solubility. Some additives (e.g., methyl tertiary-butyl ether and alcohols) are highly soluble. Other components (e.g., benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes) are slightly soluble. Many components (e.g., ndodecane and n-heptane) have relatively low water solubility under ideal conditions. Physical and chemical properties which affect transport and fate of selected...

Research on nonaqueous microemulsions containing ionic liquids as polar and/or apolar phase, respectively, is growing at a fast rate. One key property of ionic liquids that highlights their potential and their diversification compared to water is their wide liquid temperature range. In this emerging-area review article we survey recent developments in the field of nonaqueous micellar solutions ...

The Regional Superfund Ground Water Forum is a group of EPA professionals representing EPA’s Regional Superfund Offices, committed to the identification and the resolution of ground water issues impacting the remediation of Superfund sites. The Forum is supported by and advises the Superfund Technical Support Project. Dense nonaqueous phase liquids is an issue identified by the Forum as a conce...

We highlight the status of, and propose future approaches for, rheological, electrochemical, spectroscopic characterization of concentrated redoxmer electrolytes for energy storage, with an emphasis on nonaqueous redox flow batteries.
