Ligands that contain fluorine

Metallic complexes are molecuar structures where a metal is surrounded by other atoms or molecules with negative electric charge. These atoms or molecules that surround the metal are called ligands. UAB researchers are studying a kind of ligands that they have applications in agrochemistry and...

Nature is formed of atoms that they use to form more or less complex molecules. Chemical bonds and interactions keep atoms joint. This research has studied a very unknown chemical bond, the agostic bonds or interactions. They are very special because they don't join two atoms, so an atom and a bond.

Rersearchers of the Organic Solid Residues Composting Group of the UAB Department of Chemical Engineering are studying how to control the temperature in the residues composting process, a biological technique that allows to treat the residues in an economic and sustainable way, and to recycle them. The results of this work show that deduction of...

Increasing the performance of wastewater treatment plants

Wastewater treatment plants are currently one of the most important systems at hand to minimise the dumping of pollutants into the environment. One of the processes, which are used in these facilities, is what is known as EBPR (Enhanced Biological Phosphorus...
