Determination of filming and alkalizing amines using LC-MS and the influence of these amines on ion exchange resin properties
Kabir, Ahmedul (2017-07)In steam turbine power plants, filming amines are injected into the steam header to coat and protect pipe surfaces against corrosion. Alkalizing amines are added to the boiler feed water to control pH of the condensate in ... -
Development and application of a spectrophotometric and chemometric method for the direct determination of lipids in serum and synthetic mixtures
Reilly, Lisa M (2006-12)Scope and Method of Study: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have become a focus in both nutritional sciences and medical studies in the evaluation of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, dyslipidemias, diabetes, ... -
Development and applications of chemical sensors for the detection of atmospheric carbon dioxide and methane
Honeycutt, Wesley T. (2017-05)This is a description of the design of a low-power, low-cost networked array of sensors for the remote monitoring of carbon dioxide and methane. The goal was to create a scalable self-powered two-dimensional array for the ... -
Development of cross coupling reactions with earth abundant metals
Silwal, Sajan (2016-12)The ability to prepare complex molecules has been advanced and enabled by crosscoupling reactions as exemplified by the 2010 Nobel Prize being awarded to the progenitors of palladium catalyzed cross-coupling technology. ... -
Direct observations on microstructure evolution of cement systems at early ages
Moradian, Masoud (2017-05)There is limited understanding of the mechanisms or direct measurements of cement paste hydration, as the main component that determines mechanical, durability, and rheology properties of concrete. This dissertation uses ... -
Elucidation and quantification of the decomposition products of sodium dithionite and the detection of peroxide vapors with thin films
James, Travis Houston (2014-07)Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) is an oxidizable sulfur oxyanion often employed as a reducing agent in environmental and synthetic chemistry. When exposed to the atmosphere, dithionite degrades through a series of decomposition ... -
