We present a new experimental configuration for the study of size-dependent, angle-resolved photoelectron and photoion spectra of weakly bound ultrafine aerosol particles targeted at particle sizes below ~20 nm. It combines single photon ionization by a tunable, table-top vacuum ultraviolet

Water environment research : a research publication of the Water Environment Federation, 83(1), 23-25 (2011-02-05)
We proposed a method for the deodorising and dewatering of biosolids. In the proposed method, liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) was used as an extractant for odorous components and water. We developed a bench-scale experiment to almost completely deodorize and dewater
Kazuyuki Oshita et al.
Chemosphere, 78(9), 1148-1154 (2010-01-02)
We investigated whether polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and water could be simultaneously removed from river sediment by solvent extraction using liquefied dimethyl ether (DME) as the extractant. DME exists in a gaseous state at normal temperature and pressure and can dissolve

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of dimethyl ether (DME) to methanol was examined using ab initio density functional metadynamics simulations. Diffusion of the acid proton from the aqueous medium, leading to the formation of a protonated DME, is 12.3 kcal mol(-1) activated
Salma Parveen et al.
The journal of physical chemistry. A, 113(21), 6182-6191 (2009-05-09)
Theoretical calculations have been carried out using ab initio MP2 and B3LYP density functional methods to investigate the interaction between fluorinated dimethyl ethers (nF = 1-5) and water. Depending on the number of F atoms implanted on the dimethyl ethers
