D'entre els defectes organolèptics associats al vi, en destaca l'anomenat "gust de suro" habitualment vinculat a la presència de cloroanisoles, els quals són productes de l'activitat microbiana formats a partir dels ...
Gimferrer Andrés, Martí (Date of defense: 2023-03-27)
In the last decades, electronic structure methods have been crucial for chemists to achieve deeper insight into chemistry itself and to make predictions before performing the actual experiments. The development of computational ...
Godayol Boix, Anna (Date of defense: 2014-03-27)
Different analytical methodologies have been developed for the determination of odorous compounds and synthetic fragrances in water and air WWTP samples from Girona and Tarragona provinces. With regards to the odorous ...
Valls Cantenys, Carme (Date of defense: 2014-11-21)
The presence of anthropogenic chemical substances in water resources can affect the ecological balance of aquatic systems, as well as human health, and therefore it is necessary to control their presence in water bodies. ...
Güell Martí, Raquel (Date of defense: 2011-10-07)
The chemical contamination of natural waters is a global problem with a worldwide impact. Considering the relevance of this problem, this thesis is intended, on one hand, to develop different separation/preconcentration ...
Álvarez Yebra, Rubén (Date of defense: 2023-11-07)
Cavitands are macromolecules with a permanent cavity where smaller molecules or ions can be accommodated. The hydrophobic cavity of these supramolecules allows the binding of other molecules though non-covalent interactions, ...
