Optimization of induced denitrification strategies in polluted water bodies from agricultural sources

Margalef Marti, Rosanna (Date of defense: 2020-02-28)

The worldwide persistence of nitrate (NO -) in groundwater is worrying since this compound has been related to human illnesses and to eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems. The main sources of pollution are linked to intensive ...

Optimization of the use of diamond indicator minerals in diamond exploration in kimberlites

Xu, Jingyao (Date of defense: 2019-04-26)

Ti-rich minerals occur in xenoliths of metasomatized mantle peridotites, MARID and PIC. Xenocrysts produced by disaggregation during the intrusion have equivalent compositions. Early crystallization in the first intrusive ...

The Petrogenesis of the ophiolitic mélange of Central Cuba: origin and evolution of oceanic litosphere from abyssal to subduction and suprasubduction zone settings

Butjosa Molines, Lidia (Date of defense: 2018-01-12)

This PhD is about the serpentinitic matrix, mafic crust and exotic ultramafic blocks of the Villa Clara serpentinitic mélange (VCSM) in central Cuba in an attempt to evaluate the evolution of oceanic lithosphere. Each of ...

Polymorphism and crystallization behaviour of triacylglycerols. From pure components to mixtures rich in oleic acid

Macridachis González, Jorge (Date of defense: 2022-07-15)

Quality attributes of food products such as visual appearance, melting behavior, or shelf-life are strongly determined by the crystallization behavior of natural fats and oils within. In turn, this behavior depends on the ...

Sequential fluid migration along a fold and thrust belt: SE Pyrenees from Late Cretaceous to Oligocene

Cruset Segura, David (Date of defense: 2019-07-12)

The south eastern Pyrenees allowed us to study the relationships between fluid flow and deformation in a complete section of a well-preserved fold and thrust belt. Furthermore, this study enables us to decipher the main ...

The shift from subduction-initiation to true subduction in intra-oceanic systems: tectonic, magmatic and metallogenic evolution of Early Cretaceous arc-related units of Central and Oriental cordilleras in the Dominican Republic

Torró i Abat, Lisard (Date of defense: 2017-01-27)

The Maimón and Los Ranchos formations in Central and Oriental Cordilleras, Dominican Republic, Hispaniola Island, are acknowledged to be representative of the most primitive tholeiitic magmatic series recorded in the Greater ...

Stable isotopes analysis to assess abiotic and biotic remediation of groundwater polluted by chlorinated methanes

Rodríguez Fernández, Diana (Date of defense: 2018-07-20)

Carbon tetrachloride (CT) and chloroform (CF) are chlorinated methanes (CMs) which have been released to the environment for decades owing to scarce waste management. Since they are dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs), ...

Uso de técnicas geofísicas en la planificación y gestión de recursos hídricos subterráneos. Aplicación en acuíferos mediterráneos = Using geophysical techniques in planning and management of groundwater resources. Application in Mediterranean aquifers

Sendrós Brea-Iglesias, Alex (Date of defense: 2016-07-19)

La presente tesis tiene como objetivos el desarrollo, aplicación, calibración y validación del uso de información geofísica para la gestión, la caracterización y el estudio de la vulnerabilidad a la contaminación de los ...
