Investigations of the gases emission in the test foundry plant were performed according to the original method developed in the Faculty of Foundry Engi- neering, AGH UST. The dependence of the emitted PAHs and BTEX group substances and ignition losses on the re- claim fraction in a moulding sand are of a linear character of a very high correlation coefficient R2. On the bases of the derived equations, it is possible to determine the amount of the emitted hazardous substances from the mould- ing sand containing the known fraction of the reclaim.

The experimental technique was resonance fluorescence with flash photolysis of water as source of OH. Biexponential decays were observed in the presence of either O2 or NO, and triexponential decays were obtained in the presence of NO2. The kinetic analysis was performed by fitting the 10 relevant rate constants of the reaction mechanism to whole sets of decays obtained at various concentrations of aromatic and scavenger. In the case of hexamethylbenzene, the biexponential decays suggest the existence of the ipso-adduct, and the slightly higher necessary temperatures show that it is even more stable.

For more information, call the CDC Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This fact sheet is one in a series of summaries about hazardous substances and their health effects. It is important you understand this information because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. HIGHLIGHTS: Ethylbenzene is a colorless liquid found in a number of products including gasoline and paints. Breathing very high levels can cause dizziness and throat and eye irritation. Breathing lower levels has resulted in hearing effects and kidney damage in animals. Ethylbenzene has been found in at least 829 of 1,699 National Priorities List (NPL) sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). What is ethylbenzene? • Releases of ethylbenzene into the air occur from burning oil, gas, and coal and from industries Ethylbenzene is a colorless, flammable liquid that smells using ethylbenzene. like gasoline. • Ethylbenzene is not often found in drinking water. It is naturally found in coal tar and petroleum and is also Higher levels may be found in residential drinking found in manufactured products such as inks, pesticides, water wells near landfills, waste sites, or leaking and paints. underground fuel storage tanks.

  • A SCF MO Treatment of Some Tropone Derivatives* M
    CROATICA CHEMICA ACTA 42 (1 97 0) 1 <CCA-565 539.19:547.5 Original Scientific Paper A SCF MO Treatment of Some Tropone Derivatives* M. J. S. Dewar and N. Trinajstić** Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712, U.S.A. R e c e iv e d A u g u s t 9, 1969 Recent work in these laboratories has led to the development of a semiempirical SCF MO treatment which seems to give extremely good results for ground States of conjugated molecules of ali kinds composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. We have now applied this treatment to a problem of current interest, namely the structures of tropolone and tropone deri­ vatives. The calculations lead to the conclusion that neither of these ring systems is in itself aromatic, while tropone is now re- cognized to be polyenoid, tropolone still seems to be generally regarded as aromatic. This belief, however, arose from the behavior of tropolone derivatives in strong acid solution, where they exist as hydroxy tropylium derivatives, or in alkali where they form mesomeric anions. Calculated heats of formation, resonance ener- gies, and bond lengths are reported. INTRODU CTION Some time ago one of us1 concluded on the basis of available Chemical <evidence that stipitatic acid and colchicine must contain a novel aromatic system, tropolone (I), containing a seven-membered ring. Subsequent work not only confirmed this conclusion but also led to the synthesis of tropolone2 itself, and of the related tropone3 (II); both these compounds seemed to show stability characteristics of typical aromatic systems, and it was quickly realized that this might be due to the fact that both I and II can be regarded as deri­ vatives of the tropylium ion, C7H7+, which Hiickel4 in 1931 had predicted to be aromatic, a prediction which has been fully confirmed.5 However although an enormous amount of experimental work has been carried out since then on the synthesis and properties of numerous tropone and tropolone derivatives, very few theoretical studies seem as yet to have been reported.

  • BUTADIENE AS a CHEMICAL RAW MATERIAL (September 1998)
    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 35D BUTADIENE AS A CHEMICAL RAW MATERIAL (September 1998) The dominant technology for producing butadiene (BD) is the cracking of naphtha to pro- duce ethylene. BD is obtained as a coproduct. As the growth of ethylene production outpaced the growth of BD demand, an oversupply of BD has been created. This situation provides the incen- tive for developing technologies with BD as the starting material. The objective of this report is to evaluate the economics of BD-based routes and to compare the economics with those of cur- rently commercial technologies. In addition, this report addresses commercial aspects of the butadiene industry such as supply/demand, BD surplus, price projections, pricing history, and BD value in nonchemical applications. We present process economics for two technologies: • Cyclodimerization of BD leading to ethylbenzene (DSM-Chiyoda) • Hydrocyanation of BD leading to caprolactam (BASF). Furthermore, we present updated economics for technologies evaluated earlier by PEP: • Cyclodimerization of BD leading to styrene (Dow) • Carboalkoxylation of BD leading to caprolactam and to adipic acid • Hydrocyanation of BD leading to hexamethylenediamine. We also present a comparison of the DSM-Chiyoda and Dow technologies for producing sty- rene. The Dow technology produces styrene directly and is limited in terms of capacity by the BD available from a world-scale naphtha cracker. The 250 million lb/yr (113,000 t/yr) capacity se- lected for the Dow technology requires the BD output of two world-scale naphtha crackers. The DSM-Chiyoda technology produces ethylbenzene. In our evaluations, we assumed a scheme whereby ethylbenzene from a 266 million lb/yr (121,000 t/yr) DSM-Chiyoda unit is combined with 798 million lb/yr (362,000 t/yr) of ethylbenzene produced by conventional alkylation of benzene with ethylene.

Digital format users: No software was independently developed for this project. Technical questions related to software should be directed to the manufacturer of whatever software is being used to read the files. Adobe Acrobat PDF files are supplied to allow use of this product with a wide variety of software and hardware (DOS, Windows, MAC, and UNIX). This document was put together by human beings, mostly by compiling or summarizing what other human beings have written. Therefore, it most likely contains some mistakes and/or potential misinterpretations and should be used primarily as a way to search quickly for basic information and information sources. It should not be viewed as an exhaustive, "last-word" source for critical applications (such as those requiring legally defensible information). For critical applications (such as litigation applications), it is best to use this document to find sources, and then to obtain the original documents and/or talk to the authors before depending too heavily on a particular piece of information. Like a library or most large databases (such as EPA's national STORET water quality database), this document contains information of variable quality from very diverse sources.
