Real Time TOC Analytics

The 5000TOC sensor utilizes the well-proven principle of dynamic UV oxidation. Compared to batch oxidation the 5000TOC provides a real measuring result every 3 seconds. The reaction time is extremely short. A change of the TOC content is detected within 1 minute. Hence, the water quality is really c more

• Driving magnesium micromotors with seawater

  Scientists in the California have developed magnesium-based Janus micromotors that self-propel in seawater. Research shows how the micromotors can be used to capture and transport oil droplets from contaminated seawater, presenting a possible environmental application for the removal of oil spills a more

• On-off temperature sensing with graphene oxide

  Researchers in Korea have developed a new temperature sensing platform based on graphene oxide (GO). The sensor uses GO’s functionality as an efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor to deliver a fast optical on-off signal in response to temperature change. Research describes how more

• Membrane elements from LANXESS approved for drinking water applications

  The Lewabrane membrane elements manufactured by LANXESS for water treatment using reverse osmosis comply with the “NSF/ANSI Standard 61” for health-related implications of drinking water system components. The U.S. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF International) has certified that all brackish wa more

• New since 5000 years
  

  Although the ancient Egyptians already used inks 5000 years ago, inks and their properties have been continuously improved and refined over thousands of years. Nevertheless, the basic principle of tinta acqua (colored water) remains the same. Today, in addition to inks based on dissolved dyes, there are many which contain pigments in solid form. Unlike dyes, pigments do not dissolve in the medium but are present in dispersed form, e.g. as suspensions. Pigment-based inks have an advantage over those containing dissolved dyes: after drying, they are light-stable and less sensitive towards water or other solvents. They also have higher color intensity. This is an important criterion for the 'permanent document' quality rating more

• Structural and Chemical 3D Imaging with AFM and Raman.
  

  In the Life Sciences and Bio-medical Research, the characterization of chemical compounds within cells or tissues is one of the most important and difficult tasks for researchers to perform. The development of pharmaceuticals such as drug delivery coatings or capsules also requires as much information as possible about their chemical and structural compositions. For the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, a thorough knowledge of the samples' surface morphology on a sub-micron scale is essential more

• Best Practices to Mitigate Lubricant Contamination

  Many assume the contamination of lubricants occurs after the lubricants have been applied to machines. While wear debris and water ingress are expected to contribute to lubricant contamination it doesn't mean maintenance professionals need to accept lubricant contamination as a futile battle. There are many best practices used to help mitigate the ongoing battle against lubricant contamination more

• DFT Characterization on the Mechanism of Water Splitting Catalyzed by Single-Ru-substituted Polyoxometalates

  Water oxidation is a key half reaction in energy conversion scheme. The reaction mechanism for the oxidation of H2O to O2 catalyzed by single-Ru-substituted polyoxometalates, [RuIII(H2O)XW11O39]n– (X = SiIV, GeIV), was investigated by the means of density functional calculations. The electronic stru more

• Synergistic Dual Activation Catalysis by Palladium Nanoparticles for Epoxide Ring Opening with Phenols

  Synergistic dual activation catalysis has been devised for epoxide phenolysis wherein palladium nanoparticles induce electrophilic activation via coordination with the epoxide oxygen followed by nucleophilic activation through anion-π interaction with the aromatic ring of the phenol and water (react more
