(2015-09-23)Small molecules carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced via the oxidation and partial oxidation of carbonaceous matter, respectively, have distinct chemical functions and reactivity. A fairly stable species and a ...
-
(2012-07-16)This dissertation is written in two parts. The first pertains to polycarbonate and polyester synthesis using relatively benign processes. The synthesis of polycarbonates from the coupling of CO2 and epoxides catalyzed ...
-
(2012-10-15)With the production from mature oil fields declining, the increasing demand of oil urges towards more effective recovery of the available resources. Currently, the CO2 Floods are the second most applied EOR processes in ...
-
(2014-09-25)The use of carbon dioxide as a chemical feedstock for the copolymerization with epoxides to give polycarbonates, and for coupling with hydrocarbons to give carboxylic acids, was probed using computational chemistry. ...
-
(2019-04-12)Anthropogenic stressors such as ocean acidification, ocean warming and hypoxia threaten the health and persistence of coral reefs worldwide. In the following studies, we focused on two coral reefs: the Flower Garden Banks ...
-
(2010-07-14)A prominent goal of scientists is to develop products and processes to meet the ever-growing needs of society. Today's needs include products that are economical, specialized, and made through processes with minimal impact ...
-
(2020-12-01)The ocean is absorbing an increasing amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is rapidly changing seawater chemistry. As seawater CO2 increases, ecosystem calcification is hindered by the resulting decline in pH, aragonite ...
-
(1979)When Methanol is mixed with dried lignite, a vigorous reaction is observed. The reaction is exothermic, and the gas evolved is apparently carbon dioxide. The purpose of this project is to determine the specific amount of ...
-
(2017-04-24)Anthropogenic impacts on the global ocean, including increasing carbon dioxide levels and sea surface temperatures, have significantly changed the chemistry of the seawater itself, by acidifying waters, creating low oxygen ...

(2015-04-16)For decades Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) has been used to mitigate several issues related to gas turbine operation: CO2 sequestration; NOx formation and emission; and combustor instabilities. EGR increases CO2 concentrations ...

(2021-04-07)Natural gas accounts for 32 percent of the United States’ total energy consumption [1], and as emissions regulations become more stringent, the need to reduce harmful emissions produced by natural gas engines has become ...
-
(2012-04-12)Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations (GCMC) are used to examine the adsorption isotherms of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are used to determine ...
-
(2009-05-15)Excepting agricultural based products, which themselves require a great deal of energy to produce, our supply of natural resources such as minerals, metal ore, fresh water, coal, oil and natural gas are all limited in ...
-
(2016-04-13)The depletion of natural resources and the increase in greenhouse gases emissions, which constitute mainly from carbon dioxide, has led many policymakers to issue policies to reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption. ...
-
(2019-04-10)Laminar flame speed provides a metric by which to evaluate chemical kinetics models, which are used to predict the complex behaviors of combustion processes. Historically, the schlieren technique has been used in the ...
