Treatment of effluents from Food Services Establishment (FSEs) by Physico-chemical processes: a case study for Trinidad & Tobago by Cudjoe Shamika, Banerjee Goutam, Cooper Vincent

“…Pilot scale study also revealed that a higher strength and/or dose of the cationic polyelectrolyte and increased times in primary and final tanks were required to attain the desired results as in the bench level study, where equipment limitations in the flocculation tank were faced. This is in alignment with theory where factors critical for agglomeration is equipment type and density charge. …”

Evolution process of T1 precipitate in Al–Cu–Li–TiC/TiB2 alloy during aging treatment by Jiadong Li, Haiyao Wang, Yong Li, Hongqun Tang, Guangming Xu, Tongjin Zhang, Yilei Wang, Xiaoming Qian, Chen He

“…The A1 alloy reached the peak ageing state in a shorter time and yielded a greater number of T1 precipitates. The precipitation process of T1 precipitate is: SSSS→T1P→T1. The transition from T1P (face-centered cubic, FCC) to T1 (hexagonal close packing, HCP) entails a modification in the order of packing. …”

Single-atom iron on silicon carbide surfaces as catalyst of Fischer-Tropsch-type reactions in astrophysical environments by Gerard Pareras, Albert Rimola

“…., formaldehyde (H2CO) and methanol (CH3OH). Using density functional theory (DFT), we model the catalytic cycle on the most stable β-SiC (110) surface, revealing that H2CO forms efficiently with relatively low activation barriers (up to 18.3 kcal mol−1), while, in contrast, CH3OH formation faces a significant energy barrier (32.6 kcal mol−1) in space. …”
