Solvent extraction of coal: Influence of solvent chemical structure on extraction yield and product composition
DownloadSpring 2012
In recent years the need for new carbon sources to supplement crude oil for the production of fuels and chemicals, again focused on coal as suitable candidate. Old and new technologies are being developed to convert coal in valuable products. An old technology such as solvent extraction of coal...

Nonlinear optical techniques are widely used for surface analysis, as they are surface specific and can be used to probe interfaces of insulators such as silica. Silica is commonly found in nature such as reservoirs of natural water and oils. Nonetheless, it is not clear how silica interacts with...

Studying the Molecular Structure of Aqueous/Mineral Oxide Interfaces by Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy and Zeta Potential Measurements
DownloadFall 2021
Water/mineral oxide interfaces are ubiquitous in various atmospheric, geological, biological, and industrial systems. Hence, studying such abundant interfaces is essential for understanding the macroscopic interfacial reactions, such as adsorption/desorption, dissolution, flocculation,...
