Investigation of diffusion of branched alkanes in ZSM5
The diffusion coefficients of monobranched and dibranched (methyl)hexane and octane in industrially important zeolite ZSM5 will be measured along with their straight chain... -
A deeper insight into the structural dynamics of MgCl2 materials for catalyti...
In our previous experiment (1810419), we have demonstrated that INS spectra of MgCl2-based samples can be successfully recorded at TOSCA Instrument, even in absence of hydrogen... -
Opening up microemulsion phases in CO2
New types of water-in-CO2 microemulsions using mixed surfactant systems will be investigated by high-pressure SANS (HP-SANS). Exciting new results (see report on RB820030) have... -
Characterisation of the hydrides in Stryker¿s reagent
In recent years, soluble derivatives of CuH prepared by non-aqueous routes have become important as mild reducing agents, one such compound, Stryker¿s reagent [Ph3PCuI]6. The... -
Chemical control of structures and properties of layered oxide chalcogenides
The crystal structures and magnetic ordering of layered compounds that have been modified by low temperature chemical methods will be probed using neutrons. The systems... -
New CO2-philic surfactants
The proposal aims to explore water-in-CO2 (w/c) microemulsions with new, very promising hydrocarbon surfactants. The compounds are generated using standard chemistry1 but with... -
Developing decontamination technologies through studying diffusion in zeolite...
To aid the design and optimisation of cost-effective decontamination technologies used to remove toxic compounds from ground water in Ghana, the diffusion of water in zeolite...
