Efficient and green synthesis of SiOC nanoparticles at near-ambient conditions by liquid-phase plasma Universiteit Gent
Sustainable synthesis of renewable terpenoid-based (meth)acrylates using the CHEM21 green metrics toolkit Universiteit Gent
The 'complex' chemistry of Cr(III) in deep eutectic solvents : towards sustainable Cr(VI)-free electroplating Universiteit Gent
Steel parts are being subjected to extreme conditions in many industrial applications. A widely used technology for the protection of steel is the electroplating of chromium from aqueous Cr(VI) elec-trolytes. However, the use of these metal-containing solutions is being banned because of the carcinogenic properties of Cr(VI). For several years, researchers in OCAS (R&D center affiliated with ArcelorMittal Ghent) are looking for sustainable ...
Precursor Design Strategies for the Low-Temperature Synthesis of Functional Oxides: It's All in the Chemistry Universiteit Hasselt
Solution-based (multi)metal oxide synthesis has been carried out employing a large diversity of precursor routes. The selection of an appropriate synthesis strategy is frequently dictated by the resulting material properties, although this choice should also be based on green chemistry principles, atom economy considerations and energy efficiency. In order to limit the required energy budget to convert the chemical precursor to the target oxide ...
Sustainable NOx production from air in pulsed plasma : elucidating the chemistry behind the low energy consumption Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Surfactant-free peroxidase-mediated enzymatic polymerization of a biorenewable butyrolactone monomer via a green approach : synthesis of sustainable biobased latexes Universiteit Gent
A green surfactant-free one-pot horseradish peroxidase-mediated enzymatic polymerization is successfully applied to produce a sustainable and thermally stable biobased high average molar mass poly(alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactone) (PMBL) at ambient conditions in water for the first time. The initiation step required only very low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and 2,4-pentanedione water-soluble initiator to generate the keto-enoxy ...
Ecotoxicity of silica nanoparticles to the green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata: importance of surface area Universiteit Gent
To date, (eco) toxicological information on industrial nanoparticles is very limited. In the present study, the hypothesis that the ecotoxicity of nanoparticles (NPs) is related to their surface area and not to their mass was tested using a freshwater green algal species. Particle diameter and morphology were assessed using light scattering and electron microscopy techniques. To assess the toxicity of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles, the growth ...
The use of lingála in the teaching of chemistry in DR Congo: a socio-terminological approach Universiteit Gent
In most African countries, former colonial languages continue to be used as languages of instruction (LOI) in the school system, based inter alia on the claim that African languages have not developed scientific and technical vocabularies. At the same time, however, the general public, including students, has a poor command of those LOI. This paper focuses on the situation of Lingála, which is the dominant language in Kinshasa, the capital of DR ...
