    • Modeling the Natural Gas Knocking Behaviour Using Gas-Phase Infrared Spectra and Multivariate Calibration 

      Ponte, Santiago; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Vázquez, Cristina; Ferreiro, Borja; Cobas, Carlos; Pérez, Andrés; Rey, María; Vales Fernández, Carlos; Pellitero, José; Santracruz, Blanca; Muniategui, Soledad; López-Mahía, P.; Shu, Bo; Bettin, Helga; Klaus, Daniela; Anders, Bert; Betz, Marius; Kühne, Ulf; Meier, Christian; Eilts, Peter (Elsevier, 2021-04-01)
      [Abstract] To assess the knocking properties of natural gas (NG) when it is used as fuel for vehicles is vital to optimize the design and functioning of their motors. Analytical efforts in this field are needed as the ...
    • Monitorization of Polyamide Microplastics Weathering Using Attenuated Total Reflectance and Microreflectance Infrared Spectrometry 

      Fernández-González, V.; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Ferreiro, Borja; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
      [Abstract] The EU goal to reduce marine plastic litter by ca. 30% by 2020 stressed the need to deploy analytical methods to ascertain the polymeric nature of a residue. Furthermore, as plastics age under natural conditions ...
    • New Ways for the Advanced Quality Control of Liquefied Natural Gas 

      Ferreiro, Borja; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Paz-Quintáns, Carlota; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (MDPI, 2022-01-04)
      [Abstract] Currently, gas chromatography is the most common analytical technique for natural gas (NG) analysis as it offers very precise results, with very low limits of detection and quantification. However, it has several ...
    • Weathering-Independent Differentiation of Microplastic Polymers by Reflectance IR Spectrometry and Pattern Recognition 

      Ferreiro, Borja; Andrade-Garda, José Manuel; Carlota, Paz-Quintáns; Fernández-González, V.; López-Mahía, P.; Muniategui, Soledad (Elsevier, 2022-07-07)
      [Abstract] The presence and effects of microplastics in the environment is being continuously studied, so the need for a reliable approach to ascertain the polymer/s constituting them has increased. To characterize them, ...
