Chemical and Biological Characteristics of Thermally and Chemically Disturbed Soil in Northwestern North Dakota
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Thermal desorption (TD) remediates hydrocarbon-contaminated soil by heating the soil (200 to 500 °C) to volatilize the hydrocarbons, effectively removing the contaminant from the soil. If the soil is then used for agricultural ...
Synthesis and Utilization of Si6H12 and Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br) for the Generation of Novel Silicon Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) and its derivatives, Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br), have chemical and physical properties different from linear and branched polysilanes, thus creating interest in their use as starting materials for a variety ...
