Heterogeneous Pt-catalyzed transfer dehydrogenation of long-chain alkanes with ethylene
The dehydrogenation of long-chain alkanes to olefins and alkylaromatics is a challenging endothermic reaction, typically requiring harsh conditions which can lead to low selectivity and coking. More favorable thermodynamics can be achieved by using a hydrogen acceptor, such as ethylene. In this work, the potential of heterogeneous platinum catalyst...
Transplacental transfer of cobalt: Evidence from a study of mothers and their neonates in the African Copperbelt
...
BACKGROUND: Transfer of the trace metal cobalt (Co) from mother to foetus has not been documented in populations with high environmental exposure to Co, as is the case in the African Copperbelt mining region. We analysed data obtained from 246 mother-infant pairs included (at delivery) in a previously published case-control study on birth defects, ...
Following the evidence and using the appropriate regulatory tools: A European-wide risk assessment of copper in freshwat...
The ecological risks of copper (Cu) in freshwaters have been the focus of regulatory assessments for several decades. Recently, it has been suggested by the European Commission that Cu represents a continent-wide risk to freshwaters. We assessed to what extent this suggestion is supported by the available evidence if Cu bioavailability is considere...
Off-Stoichiometric Restructuring and Sliding Dynamics of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Edges in Conditions of Oxidative Dehydr...
Boron-containing materials, such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), recently shown to be active and selective catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP), have been shown to undergo significant surface oxyfunctionalization and restructuring. Although experimental ex situ studies have probed the change in chemical environment on th...

Recovery of rare earths, lithium, and fluorine from rare earth molten salt electrolytic slag by mineral phase reconstruc...
A novel green method for the recovery of rare earths (REs), fluorine (F), and lithium (Li) from rare earth molten salt electrolytic slag (REMSES) was proposed and demonstrated by mineral phase reconstruction combined with vacuum distillation. Kinetic analysis revealed that the roasting process was controlled by the chemical interface reaction. Unde...

Machining Strategy Determination for Single- and Multi-Material Wire and Arc Additive Manufactured Thin-Walled Parts
Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) technology has recently become attractive due to the fact of its high production capacity and flexible deposition strategy. One of the most prominent drawbacks of WAAM is surface irregularity. Therefore, WAAMed parts cannot be used as built; they require secondary machining operations. However, performing ...
