Highly recyclable, imidazolium derived ionic liquids of low antimicrobial and antifungal toxicity: A new strategy for acid catalysis
(2010)Imidazolium derived ionic liquid catalysts have been developed which are aprotic and of low antimicrobial and antifungal toxicity, yet which can act as efficient Br?nsted acidic catalysts in the presence of protic additives. ... -
Natural reducing agents for electroless nanoparticle deposition: Mild synthesis of metal/carbon nanostructured microspheres
(2013)Composite materials are of interest because they can potentially combine the properties of their respective components in a manner that is useful for specific applications. Here, we report on the use of coffee as a low-cost, ... -
New technology for the extraction of energy critical metals from weee and removal of PFOA from water
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Chemistry. Discipline of Chemistry, 2018)ABSTRACT Electrical and electronic equipment contains a plethora of energy critical metals which eventually concentrates in the annual 20-50 million metric tonnes of e-wastes produced globally. This has been identified ...
