On the potential use of quarry waste material for CO2 sequestration
(2016)
The use of solid wastes rich in Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe2+ for the ex situ sequestration of CO2 could provide an economically and technologically viable option for the reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Here, we investigate ...
Enhancing the rate of ex situ mineral carbonation in dunites via ball milling
(2016)
The investigation of potential options for CO2 sequestration is of vital importance for alleviating the ongoing climate problem. This paper presents an efficient method for enhancing the ex situ carbonation of dunites. The ...
Linear and Branched Pyridyl-Oxazole Oligomers: Synthesis and Circular Dichroism Detectable Effect on c-Myc G-Quadruplex Helicity
(2016)
Five unprecedented pyridyl-oxazole oligomers exhibiting either linear or branched connectivity of their subunits were developed as a family of potential G-quadruplex-interacting ligands. Our synthesis employed variations ...
Equilibrium ion exchange studies of Zn2+, Cr3+, and Mn2+ on natural bentonite
(2016)
Bentonite is a clay mineral often used in ion exchange processes due to its high ion exchange capacity. In the present study, a commercially available in Greece market bentonite was obtained and characterized by XRD, XRF, ...
Double Networks Based on Amphiphilic Cross-Linked Star Block Copolymer First Conetworks and Randomly Cross-Linked Hydrophilic Second Networks
(2016)
This study presents the preparation and characterization of double networks (DN) based on a first amphiphilic polymethacrylate conetwork (APCN) and a second polyacrylamide network. The APCN first network comprised ...
Evaluation of PVP/Au nanocomposite fibers as heterogeneous catalysts in indole synthesis
(2016)
Electrospun nanocomposite fibers consisting of crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) chains and gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were fabricated, starting from highly stable PVP/Au NP colloidal solutions with different NP ...
