Visible light-driven metal-oxide photocatalytic CO2 conversion
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
In this work, nine photocatalysts were prepared by a conventional solid-state reaction method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, surface area measurements based ...
A detailed study of cholinium chloride and levulinic acid deep eutectic solvent system for CO2capture via experimental and molecular simulation approaches
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Choline chloride + levulinic acid deep eutectic solvent is studied as a suitable material for CO2capturing purposes. The most relevant physicochemical properties of this solvent are reported together with the CO2solubility ...
Enhancing liquid-phase olefin-paraffin separations using novel silver-based ionic liquids
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
This paper describes the extraction of C5-C8 linear α-olefins from olefin/paraffin mixtures of the same carbon number using silver(I)/N,N-dimethylbenzamide bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Ag(DMBA)2][Tf2N]) or ...

The aim of this study is to evaluate a bench scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) performance using flat sheet polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane at different inlet flow rates, temperatures, and salinity ...
Effect of expanded graphite on the phase change materials of high density polyethylene/wax blends
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Phase change materials fabricated from high density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with 40 or 50 wt% commercial wax (melting point of 43.08�C) and up to 15 wt% expanded graphite (EG) were studied. Techniques including scanning ...
Nanomechanical properties of plasma treated polylactic acid
(
Maney Publishing
