  • Measuring and Predicting Sooting Tendencies of Oxygenates, Alkanes, Alkenes, Cycloalkanes, and Aromatics on a Unified Scale
    Measuring and Predicting Sooting Tendencies of Oxygenates, Alkanes, Alkenes, Cycloalkanes, and Aromatics on a Unified Scale Dhrubajyoti D. Dasa,1, Peter St. Johnb,1, Charles S. McEnallya,∗, Seonah Kimb, Lisa D. Pfefferlea aYale University, Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, New Haven CT 06520 bNational Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden CO 80401 Abstract Soot from internal combustion engines negatively affects health and climate. Soot emissions might be reduced through the expanded usage of appropriate biomass-derived fuels. Databases of sooting indices, based on measuring some aspect of sooting behavior in a standardized combustion environment, are useful in providing information on the comparative sooting tendencies of different fuels or pure compounds. However, newer biofuels have varied chemical structures including both aromatic and oxygenated functional groups, making an accurate measurement or prediction of their sooting tendency difficult. In this work, we propose a unified sooting tendency database for pure compounds, including both regular and oxygenated hydrocarbons, which is based on combining two disparate databases of yield-based sooting tendency measurements in the literature. Unification of the different databases was made possible by leveraging the greater dynamic range of the color ratio pyrometry soot diagnostic. This unified database contains a substantial number of pure compounds (≥ 400 total) from multiple categories of hydrocarbons important in modern fuels and establishes the sooting tendencies of aromatic and oxygenated hydrocarbons on the same numeric scale for the first time. Using this unified sooting tendency database, we have developed a predictive model for sooting behavior applicable to a broad range of hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons. The model decomposes each compound into single-carbon fragments and assigns a sooting tendency contribution to each fragment based on regression against the unified database.

  • Lifetime Organophosphorous Insecticide Use Among Private Pesticide Applicators in the Agricultural Health Study

All rights reserved 1559-0631/12 www.nature.com/jes ORIGINAL ARTICLE Lifetime organophosphorous insecticide use among private pesticide applicators in the Agricultural Health Study Jane A. Hoppin1, Stuart Long2, David M. Umbach3, Jay H. Lubin4, Sarah E. Starks5, Fred Gerr5, Kent Thomas6, Cynthia J. Hines7, Scott Weichenthal8, Freya Kamel1, Stella Koutros9, Michael Alavanja9, Laura E. Beane Freeman9 and Dale P. Sandler1 Organophosphorous insecticides (OPs) are the most commonly used insecticides in US agriculture, but little information is available regarding specific OP use by individual farmers. We describe OP use for licensed private pesticide applicators from Iowa and North Carolina in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) using lifetime pesticide use data from 701 randomly selected male participants collected at three time periods. Of 27 OPs studied, 20 were used by 41%. Overall, 95% had ever applied at least one OP. The median number of different OPs used was 4 (maximum ¼ 13). Malathion was the most commonly used OP (74%) followed by chlorpyrifos (54%). OP use declined over time. At the first interview (1993--1997), 68% of participants had applied OPs in the past year; by the last interview (2005--2007), only 42% had. Similarly, median annual application days of OPs declined from 13.5 to 6 days. Although OP use was common, the specific OPs used varied by state, time period, and individual. Much of the variability in OP use was associated with the choice of OP, rather than the frequency or duration of application.

Aromatic compounds are important contributors to sedimentary 26 organic matter, and provide indication of diagenetic processes, OM source, and 27 thermal maturity. Studies have found evidence for a small 13C-enrichment during 28 diagenetic aromatisation of approximately 1 to 2 ‰, but the formation of polycyclic 29 aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from combustion and hydrothermal processes 30 seems to produce no effect. Likewise, maturation and biodegradation also produce 31 only small isotopic effects. An early application of δ13C of aromatic compounds was 32 in the classification of oil families by source. Bulk measurements have had some 33 success in differentiating marine and terrigenous oils, but were not accurate in all 34 settings.

Their acute toxicity highlighted more than ever the need to explore applicable strategies for the sensing, decontamination and/or detoxifcation of these compounds. Herein, we report the use of two diferent thermostable enzyme families capable to detect and inactivate OPs. In particular, mutants of carboxylesterase-2 from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius and of phosphotriesterase-like lactonases from Sulfolobus solfataricus and Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, have been selected and assembled in an optimized format for the development of an electrochemical biosensor and a decontamination formulation, respectively. The features of the developed tools have been tested in an ad-hoc fabricated chamber, to mimic an alarming situation of exposure to a nerve agent. Choosing ethyl-paraoxon as nerve agent simulant, a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.4 nM, after 5 s of exposure time was obtained. Furthermore, an optimized enzymatic formulation was used for a fast and efcient environmental detoxifcation (>99%) of the nebulized nerve agent simulants in the air and on surfaces. Crucial, large- scale experiments have been possible thanks to production of grams amounts of pure (>90%) enzymes.

As of 1 January 2015, 55 of the nation's poison centers (PCs) uploaded case data automatically to NPDS. The upload interval was 9.52 [7.40, 13.6] (median [25%, 75%]) minutes, creating a near real-time national exposure and information database and surveillance system. Methods We analyzed the case data tabulating specific indices from NPDS. The methodology was similar to that of previous years. Where changes were introduced, the differences are identified. Poison center cases with medical outcomes of death were evaluated by a team of medical and clinical toxicologist reviewers using an ordinal scale of 1-6 to assess the Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) of the exposure. Results In 2015, 2,792,130 closed encounters were logged by NPDS: 2,168,371 human exposures, 55,516 animal exposures, 560,467 information calls, 7657 human confirmed nonexposures, Current Awareness in Clinical Toxicology is produced monthly for the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology by the Birmingham Unit of the UK National Poisons Information Service, with contributions from the Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Newcastle Units.

  • 1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene Transformation Reaction Compared with Its Transalkylation Reaction with Toluene Over USY-Zeolite Catalyst
    1,2,4-Trimethylbenzene Transformation Reaction Compared with its Transalkylation Reaction with Toluene over USY-Zeolite Catalyst Sulaiman Al-Khattaf*, Nasir M. Tukur, and Adnan Al-Amer Chemical Engineering Department, King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals Dhahran 31261, Saudi Arabia Abstract 1,2,4-Trimethyl benzene (TMB) transalkylation with toluene has been studied over USY-zeolite type catalyst using a riser simulator that mimics the operation of a fluidized-bed reactor. 50:50 wt% reaction mixtures of TMB and toluene were used for the transalkylation reaction. The range of temperature investigated was 400-500 oC and time on stream ranging from 3 to 15 seconds. The effect of reaction conditions on the variation of p-xylene to o-xylene products ratio (P/O), distribution of trimethylbenzene (TMB) isomers (1,3,5-to-1,2,3-) and values of xylene/tetramethylbenzenes (X/TeMB) ratios are reported. Comparisons are made between the results of the transalkylation reaction with the results of pure 1,2,4-TMB and toluene reactions earlier reported. Toluene that was found almost inactive, became reactive upon blending with 1,2,4-TMB. This shows that toluene would rather accept a methyl group to transform to xylene than to loose a methyl group to form benzene under the present experimental condition with pressures around ambient. The experimental results were modeled using quasi-steady state approximation. Kinetic parameters for the 1,2,4-TMB disappearance during the transalkylation reaction, and in its conversion into isomerization and disproportionation products were calculated using the catalyst activity decay function based on time on stream (TOS).

Despite their usefulness, these insecticides can pose a dangerous risk to the safety of food, environment and all living things through various mechanisms of action. Concern about the environmental impact of repeated use of insecticides has prompted many researchers to develop rapid, economical, uncomplicated and user-friendly analytical method for the detection of insecticides. In this regards, optical sensors are considered as favorable methods for insecticides analysis because of their special features including rapid detection time, low cost, easy to use and high selectivity and sensitivity. In this review, current progresses of incorporation between recognition elements and optical sensors for insecticide detection are discussed and evaluated well, by categorizing it based on insecticide chemical classes, including the range of detection and limit of detection. Additionally, this review aims to provide powerful insights to researchers for the future development of optical sensors in the detection of insecticides.
