Carbon dioxide storage in olivine basalts: Effect of ball milling process

Rigopoulos, Ioannis; Petallidou, Klito C.; Vasiliades, Michalis A.; Delimitis, Andréas; Ioannou, Ioannis; Efstathiou, Angelos M.; Kyratsi, Theodora (2015)

The goal of this study is to propose a cost-effective method for the optimization of the ex situ carbonation of basaltic rocks. The ball milling process was applied to a sample of olivine basalt from the Troodos ophiolite ...

Combined chemical and optical methods for monitoring the early decay stages of surrogate human models

Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Agapiou, Agapios; Zorba, Eleni; Mikedi, Katerina; Karma, Sofia; Pallis, George C.; Eliopoulos, C.; Spiliopoulou, C. (2011)

As the body decays shortly after death, a variety of gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) constantly emanate. Ethical and practical reasons limit the use of human corpses in controlled, time-dependent, intervening ...

Environmental aspects of VOCs evolved in the early stages of human decomposition

Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Agapiou, Agapios; Spiliopoulou, C.; Pallis, George C.; Sianos, Efstathios (2007)

In the present study, the time profile, measured as "accumulation", of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced during the early stages of human decomposition was investigated. A human cadaver was placed in a sealed bag ...

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding in chlorine dioxide photochemistry: A time-resolved resonance Raman study

Philpott, M. P.; Hayes, Sophia C.; Thomsen, C. L.; Reid, P. J. (2001)

The geminate-recombination and vibrational-relaxation dynamics of chlorine dioxide (OClO) dissolved in ethanol and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) are investigated using time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy. Stokes ...

Microwave assisted synthesis of 3-aminoindole-2-carbonitriles from anthranilonitriles via N-unprotected 2-(cyanomethylamino)benzonitriles

Michaelidou, Sophia S.; Koutentis, Panayiotis Andreas (2010)

Anthranilonitrile 3a, 4,5-dimethoxyanthranilonitrile 3b and 5-nitroanthranilonitrile 3c, react with paraformaldehyde, KCN and ZnCl2 in acetic acid under acid catalysis (H2SO4) in a sealed tube at ca. 55 °C to give the ...

Preliminary investigation of using volatile organic compounds from human expired air, blood and urine for locating entrapped people in earthquakes

Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Sianos, Efstathios; Agapiou, Agapios; Georgiadou, A.; Pappa, Athina A.; Tzamtzis, N.; Giotaki, H.; Papageorgiou, Charalambos Ch; Kolostoumbis, D. (2005)

A preliminary investigation on the possibility of using volatile organic compounds (VOCs) determination of expired air, blood and urine, for the early location of entrapped people in earthquakes, has been carried out. A ...

A study of volatile organic compounds evolved in urban waste disposal bins

Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Agapiou, Agapios; Pallis, George C. (2005)

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) evolved in urban waste disposal bins in different situations were studied. Waste of various loads (full, empty, partially filled bins), remained uncollected in the containers for variable ...

Trace detection of endogenous human volatile organic compounds for search, rescue and emergency applications

Agapiou, Agapios; Amann, Anton; Mochalski, Paweł; Statheropoulos, Miltiades K.; Thomas, Charles Lawrence Paul (2015)

Since Pauling's paper in the 1970s, interest has increased in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from different bio-fluids, such as blood and urine. A number of VOCs reflect internal biochemical pathways occurring ...
