Investigation of Pyrolysis Parameters on the Yield and Quality of Bio-Oil from Jatropha curcas Wastes
Jatropha curcas pressed cake leftover after oil extraction for biodiesel production is considered as waste. Following physicochemical characterisation tests, this biomass waste was pyrolysed over a...

Towards an integrated view of monocarpic plant senescence
After the flowering of an annual plant, the whole plant will senesce and die. For the process to go to completion, this monocarpic senescence must include three coordinated processes, which have not previously...

Site-specific chemistry of carbon tetrachloride decomposition on GaAs(001)
, it was discovered that this molecule dissociatively adsorbs onto Ga dimers and second-layer Ga atoms at 473 K. Upon heating to 673 K, the chlorine desorbs from these sites as GaCl, thereby reducing the Ga co...

Mechanism of do** gallium arsenide with carbon tetrachloride during organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy
The rates of decomposition of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), triethylgallium (TEGa), and tertiarybutylarsine (TBAs), and the rate of GaAs film growth, were measured as a function of the process conditions during or...
