Recent studies suggest that dimethylamine could be a key ternary species in the formation and early growth of atmospheric aerosol particles. We report on nucleation studies for the ternary system of sulfuric acid, water and dimethylamine which have been performed at the CERN CLOUD chamber. These studies were conducted at atmospherically relevant concentrations of sulfuric acid and dimethylamine...

Halloysite (HNT) is treated with sulfuric acid and the physico-chemical properties of its morphology, surface activity, physical and chemical properties have been investigated when HNT is exposed to sulfuric acid with treatment periods of 1 h (H1), 3 h (H3), 8 h (H8), and 21 h (H21). The significance of this and similar work lies in the importance of using HNT as a functional material in nanoco...

β -Acetamido ketones are valuable building blocks for the preparation of β -amino ketones or β -amino alcohols such as the antibiotic nikkomycins [1] and neopolyoxines [2]. α-Acetamido ketones are obtained in the Dakin-West reaction [3] and β -acetamido ketones by the Iqbal route. In the latter, an aromatic aldehyde, an enolizable ketone and acetonitrile are condensed in the presence of acetyl ...

An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of αaminonitriles derivatives by one-pot reaction of different aldehydes with amines and trimethylsilyl cyanides has been developed using natural alumina, alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), nano-γ-alumina, nanoalumina sulfuric acid (nano-ASA) under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. The advantages of methods are short reaction times, h...

Although concentrated sulfuric acid saccharification is not a novel method for breaking down lignocellulosic biomass, the process by which saccharification affects biomass decomposition, sugar recovery, and by-product generation is not well studied. The present study employed Taguchi experimental design to study the effects of seven parameters on corn stover concentrated sulfuric acid saccharif...

Abstract— SDAWS (Spray drying absorption waste sludge) and BFA (bag filter ash), which are the wastes generated in the SDA (pray drying absorption) process, are only partially recycled as cement additives, gypsum boards, building materials, and the rest are being landfilled in managed landfills. However, wastes that have not been disposed of at the landfill are accumulated around the landfill. ...

The effect of increased reaction rates of stabilized Criegee intermediates (sCIs) with SO2 to produce sulfuric acid is investigated using data from two different locations, SMEAR II, Hyytiälä, Finland, and Hohenpeissenberg, Germany. Results from MALTE, a zero-dimensional model, show that using previous values for the rate coefficients of sCI+SO2, the model underestimates gas phase H2SO4 by up t...

Simultaneous measurements of gaseous sulfuric acid and particle number size distributions were performed to investigate aerosol nucleation and growth during CAREBeijing-2008. The analysis of the measured aerosols and sulfuric acid with an aerosol dynamic model shows the dominant role of sulfuric acid in new particle formation (NPF) process but also in the subsequent growth in Beijing. Based on ...

Water-soluble perfluorocyclobutyl (PFCB) aryl ether ionomers bearing sulfonic acid groups in the main chain and phosphonic acid end groups were prepared and used to modify the surfaces of mesoporous carbon materials containing dispersed zirconia nanoparticles. Ionomer surface grafting occurred via phosphonate bonding onto the zirconia particle surfaces.
