The ability to obtain a molecular-level understanding of the chemistry that takes place at
liquid/solid interfaces is key to the development and improvement of many chemical and …

This review intends to deepen our understanding of mechanisms by which molecules with
aromatic moieties attach to organic and mineral components of terrestrial environments. We …

The surface properties and adsorption mechanisms of graphene materials are important for
potential environmental applications. The adsorption of m-dinitrobenzene, nitrobenzene …

Focusing on layered compounds at the core of materials intercalation chemistry, this
reference comprehensively explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the …

Nitroaromatic compounds are xenobiotics that have found multiple applications in the
synthesis of foams, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and explosives. These compounds are …

Molecular interactions controlling the sorption of pollutants to environmental black carbons
(soot, charcoal) are not well-resolved. Sorption of a series of aromatic compounds was …

The combined effects of hydroxyl/amino functional groups of aromatics and surface O-
containing groups of carbon nanotubes on adsorption were evaluated. When normalized for …

Given the presence of a wide variety of contaminants in the environment, it is important to
understand what drives a contaminant from one medium to another, as well as the manner …

For the last 7 years, we have been researching various aspects of the Bayer process.
Predominant among these has been the surface chemistry of Bayer process solids. To this …

A unique π-electron rich stilbene-based sensor with significantly enhanced red-shifted
