The influence of gas-phase oxygen on the growth of Au nanoparticles on Mo-doped CaO films has been investigated by means of low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Whereas at ideal vacuum conditions, only 2D Au islands develop on the oxide surface, the fraction of 3D deposits increases with increasing O2 pressure until they become the dominant specie...

Experiments were conducted to study the acidogenesis of a dairy wastewater in batch reactors at pH 5.5 and 55°C. There was a biased fermentation sequence for carbohydrate and protein, and the protein fermentation was delayed by carbohydrate. The production of hydrogen was exclusively from the fermentation of carbohydrate. Acetate and butyrate concentrations both increased rapidly at the beginni...
