In Situ Biostimulation of Cr(VI) Reduction in a Fast-Flowing Oxic Aquifer

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Daniel Scott Alessi

Hexavalent chromium is among the most common and hazardous inorganic contaminants in soils and groundwater. A promising in situ bioremediation approach is the delivery of electron donors to stimulate microbially mediated Cr(VI) reduction, producing relativ ...

Stainless steel-like FeCrNi nanostructures via electrodeposition into AAO templates using a mixed-solvent Cr(III)-based electrolyte

Enrico Bertero

Electrodeposition of stainless steel-like materials such as FeCrNi alloy into micro- and nanotemplates provides a sustainable framework for creating biomedical-oriented micro- and nanocomponents with outstanding characteristics. While Cr(III)-based electro ...

Leather-Promoted Transformation of Glucose into 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and Levoglucosenone

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Zhangjun Huang, Florent Menoud

The search for efficient catalysts frequently leads to new homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts of increasing complexity, and sometimes common, natural, or hybrid natural/synthetic materials that could be used in catalysis are overlooked. For example, t ...

Chromate tolerance and removal of bacterial strains isolated from uncontaminated and chromium-polluted environments

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Zuzana Chromiková

Investigation of bacterial chromate tolerance has mostly focused on strains originating from polluted sites. In the present study, we isolated 33 chromate tolerant strains from diverse environments harbouring varying concentrations of chromium (Cr). All of ...

'Green' Cr(iii)-glycine electrolyte for the production of FeCrNi coatings: electrodeposition mechanisms and role of by-products in terms of coating composition and microstructure

Stefano Mischler, Johann Michler, Enrico Bertero

The electrodeposition of stainless steel-like FeCrNi alloys for miniaturised devices is appealing as it would allow combining excellent material properties (e.g. corrosion resistance, hardness, biocompatibility) at low-cost. However, conventional baths oft ...

Chromium bioavailability in aquatic systems impacted by tannery wastewaters. Part 1: Understanding chromium accumulation by indigenous chironomids

Dominik Józef Kubicki

The tanning industry uses large quantities of Cr whose contribution to the contaminant burden of aquatic organismsis not yet fully understood. The present study investigated Cr bioaccumulation by indigenous chironomids in a freshwater ecosystem impacted by ...

Chromate Resistance Mechanisms in Leucobacter chromiiresistens

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat

Chromate is one of the major anthropogenic contaminants on Earth. Leucobacter chromiiresistens is a highly chromate-resistant strain, tolerating chromate concentrations in LB medium of up to 400 mM. In response to chromate stress, L. chromiiresistens forms ...

Fate of Cr(III) during ozonation of secondary municipal wastewater effluent

Urs von Gunten, Caroline Gachet Aquillon

In the present study, the fate of trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) during ozonation of ultrapurified water and wastewater effluent was investigated. In experiments conducted in phosphate buffered ultrapurified water, O3 alone in excess was inefficient to oxidi ...

The Ligand-Based Quintuple Bond-Shortening Concept and Some of Its Limitations

Herein, the ligand-based concept of shortening quintuple bonds and some of its limitations are reported. In dichromium-diguanidinato complexes, the length of the quintuple bond can be influenced by the substituent at the central carbon atom of the used lig ...

Chromium Poisoning : The Needle in the SOFC Stack

Josef Andreas Schuler

This thesis focuses on Cr-poisoning in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), which currently presents a key challenge for the development of this technology. By the implementation of dedicated experimental tools, this work offers a new access to, and comprehensio ...

Mitigating Cr Contamination by Hot Air Filtering in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Christian Ludwig, Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Josef Andreas Schuler

Cr contamination, generated by system components located upstream a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and responsible for Cr-poisoning induced air electrode performance degradation, must be suppressed by hindering the access of Cr pollutants to the cathode comp ...

Air Side Contamination in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack Testing

Christian Ludwig, Jan Van Herle, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Josef Andreas Schuler, Zacharie Wuillemin

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are likely candidates for electricity production with high efficiency and promise reasonable fuel tolerance. While fuel impurities are known anode poisons, less attention is brought to air-purity, especially to air-side conta ...

Beam-induced etching of material on substrate involves directing gaseous compound which reacts in the presence of beam to etch the excess material which not etching the substrate

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Tristan Bret, Xavier Multone

A method and apparatus for local beam processing using a beam activated gas to etch material are described. Compounds are disclosed that are suitable for beam-induced etching. The invention is particularly suitable for electron beam induced etching of chro ...

Epitaxial growth and optical characterization of BaSO4:Mn6+ layers for novel coherent light sources

Dirk Ehrentraut

Because of the strong electron-phonon coupling of the emitting 3d orbital in transition-metal (TM) ions, 3d systems exhibit luminescence with typically several hundred nm of spectral bandwidth. TM-ion-doped materials are, therefore, of high interest for ap ...
