1. A specially developed quartz ultra-microbalance was used to weigh tracheids (holocellulose and alpha cellulose skeletons), from wood formed by trees treated with four different formulations (urea, NPK, (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3).

2. The Anodic dissolution of aluminum in Lewis acidic ionic liquids consisting of AlCl 3 and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride was studied using linear sweep and cyclic voltammetry, an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) and chronopotentiometry at ambient temperature
