Measurements and modelling of the high-pressure phase equilibria related to the process of depolymerisation and cracking of lignin in near-critical water (Cracking of lignin)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Lignin is the second most abundant natural organic polymer on earth, being the first one among those composed of aromatic units. Lignin can be a renewable source of valuable phenolic chemicals, if converted to smaller molecular units, thus representing a potential bio-based alternative to several petrochemical processes. New processes for producing high-purity kraft lignin from wood have recently ...

Slow processes in close-to-equilibrium conditions for radionuclides in water/solid systems of relevance to nuclear waste management (SKIN)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Solid/liquid chemical equilibrium hypotheses (sorption, solubility, solid-solution formation) are key concepts in the assessment of nuclear waste safety. For radionuclides at trace concentrations this corresponds to constant solution concentrations, or solid/liquid distribution ratios, if environmental conditions remain constant. However, these concepts do not account for irreversible incorporati ...

Supramolecular Motive Power (SUMO)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"Many important biological systems have the ability of transferring mechanical energy within individual molecules across distances of 1-10 nm. The mechanisms behind such energy transfer are poorly understood. Increased knowledge about them may not only explain fundamental processes in biology, but may also enable novel approaches to energy-related problems in general and new applications in supram ...

Photochromic Systems for Solid State Molecular Electronic Devices and Light-Activated Cancer Drugs (Photochromes)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

Photochromic molecules, or photochromes, can be reversibly isomerized between two thermally stable forms by exposure to light of different wavelengths. Upon isomerization, properties such as excitation energies, redox properties, charge distribution, and structure experience significant changes. These changes can be harnessed to switch “on” or “off” the action of a variety of photophysical process ...
