Among these properties, the generation of N-alkoxyaminylfree radicals on oxidation [4- 8]allowed a 54 A.T.Balaban et al. / CentralEuropean Journal of Chemistry 1(2003)53{64 reaction with the free stable radical DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) leading to be- tainicstructures 2a,2b, which can bereduced reversiblyto the corresponding hydrazines 3a,3b [1,9,10].Basic media lead to the formation ofthe corresponding anions with colors that depend on the substitution pattern [1,2]. Continuing our research, we investigated the possibility to obtain new compounds of Ar-NH-O-(CH 2)n-O-NH-Ar type and to study their properties comparativelyto their analogous compounds of type 1.F or this purpose we synthesized the new compounds 1,3-bis(4-cyano-2,6-dinitrophenyloxy)propane (4a) and 1,3-bis(picramidooxy)propane or 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trinitrophenylaminooxy)propane (4b), and investigated their properties com- parativelywith those ofcompounds 1a,1b [2]. 2Resultsand Discussion 2.1 Synthesis of compounds 4a, 4b Compounds 4a,4b were synthesized in three-steps [1,2,5,11,12]:(i) in the ¯rst step, N-hydroxyphthalimide 5and 1,3-dibromopropane 6ledto 1,3-bis(phthalimidooxy)propane, 7(yield79%); (ii) in the second step, acidhydrolysis ofcompound 7gave A.T.Balaban et al. / CentralEuropean Journal of Chemistry 1(2003)53{64 55 1,3-bis(aminooxy)propane dihydrochloride, 8(yield40%); (iii) ¯nally,compounds 4a,4b were obtained from the reaction of compound 8with 4-cyano-2,6-dinitrochlorobenzene, 9a,or with 2,4,6-trinitrochlorobenzene (picryl chloride) 9b (yields88.5% and 72%,re- spectively).

The higher acidityof compounds 4 relativelyto compounds 1maybe due to asupplementary intramolecular hydrogen bonding between an oxygenatom and an NHgroup from the bis(aminooxypropane) group, thus depressing the electron density around that oxygen.The lower acidityof a-type compounds relativelyto b-type compounds isdue to the CNgroup from the para position, which has alower electron-withdrawing e®ect than the NO 2 group. Taking into account the colors of these anions that facilitatethe visualizationof the acid-base reaction (similarlyto compounds oftype 1) [15],the new compounds 4can beused analyticallyfor the extraction of alkalinecations or amino acidsin the presence ofacrown ether [16]. (c) Solubility and hydrophobicity Compounds 4a,b havelow solubilityin water. Compound 4a isalso less soluble in most organic solvents,whereas compound 4b ishighly soluble in organic solvents. This leads to aslight di®erence from compound 1a which isless soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents [1,2].The retention factors R f ofcompounds 4a,b and 1a,b in aliquid/liquidsystem depend onthe acidityof the aqueous phase. Table6 shows the results obtained using reversephase thin layerchromatographs (RPTLC). There isa linear correlation between logR f and the pH of the aqueous phase, asindicated by the correlation coe±cient ( r 0.90) for the equation indicated ¶ under Table6. As the concentration of the acidicphase decreases,the compounds willbegin to be found as the corresponding anions that are soluble in aqueous phase, therefore the Rf valueswill increase.

Jachimowski, and Charles H. Wilson , TECH LIBRARY KAFB, NM 0134538 NASA Technical Paper 1181 Experimental and Analytical Study of Nitric Oxide Formation During Combustion of Propane in a Jet-Stirred Combustor N. T. Wakelyn, Casimir J. Jachimowski, and Charles H. Wilson Langley Research Center Hampton, Virginia National Aeronautics and Space Administration Scientific and Technical Information Otfice 1978 '8' SUMMARY A jet-stirred combustor, constructed of castable zirconia and with an inconel injector, has been used to study nitric oxide formation in propane-air combustion with residence times in the range from 3.2 to 3.3 msec and equiva­ lence ratios varying from 0.7 to 1.4. The residence time range was character­ istic of that found in the primary zones of aircraft turbines. Premixed propane-air formulations were subjected to intense and turbulent backmixed combustion within the cavity formed between the injector and the hemispherical inner walls of the zirconia shell. The volume of the combustor cavity was 12.7 cm3 and the mass loading was maintained in the range from 0.053 to 0.055 g/cm3-sec. Measurements were made of combustor operating tem­ perature and of nitric oxide concentration. Maximum nitric oxide concentrations of the order of 55 ppm were found in the range of equivalence ratio from 1.0 to 1.1. Nitric oxide concentrations were predicted over the range of equivalence ratio by a computer program which employs a perfectly stirred'reactor (PSR) algorithm with finite-rate kinetics.

  • AP-42 Vol. I CH1.6 Wood Residue Combustion in Boilers
    1.6 Wood Residue Combustion In Boilers 1.6.1 General1-6 The burning of wood residue in boilers is mostly confined to those industries where it is available as a byproduct. It is burned both to obtain heat energy and to alleviate possible solid residue disposal problems. In boilers, wood residue is normally burned in the form of hogged wood, bark, sawdust, shavings, chips, mill rejects, sanderdust, or wood trim. Heating values for this residue range from about 4,500 British thermal units/pound (Btu/lb) of fuel on a wet, as-fired basis, to about 8,000 Btu/lb for dry wood. The moisture content of as-fired wood is typically near 50 weight percent for the pulp, paper and lumber industries and is typically 10 to 15 percent for the furniture industry. However, moisture contents may vary from 5 to 75 weight percent depending on the residue type and storage operations. Generally, bark is the major type of residue burned in pulp mills; either a mixture of wood and bark residue or wood residue alone is burned most frequently in the lumber, furniture, and plywood industries. 1.6.2 Firing Practices5, 7, 8 Various boiler firing configurations are used for burning wood residue. One common type of boiler used in smaller operations is the Dutch oven. This unit is widely used because it can burn fuels with very high moisture content. Fuel is fed into the oven through an opening in the top of a refractory-lined furnace. The fuel accumulates in a cone-shaped pile on a flat or sloping grate.

  • Alternatives to High Propane Prices Interest Expense and the Cost of Utilities Are the Two Largest “Out of Pocket” Expenses Facing Most Broiler Growers
    ThePoultry Engineering, Economics & Management NEWSLETTER Critical Information for Improved Bird Performance Through Better House and Ventilation System Design, Operation and Management Auburn University, in cooperation with the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association Issue No 29, May 2004 Alternatives to High Propane Prices Interest expense and the cost of utilities are the two largest “out of pocket” expenses facing most broiler growers. There is little a grower can do to reduce interest costs, short of major mortgage refinancing. However, costs associated with utilities are another matter. The topics we have addressed in most past issues of this newsletter have all dealt with housing and ventilation factors which can result in improved flock performance and in reduced levels of energy being used, which directly reduces costs to the grower. Electricity rates are typically fixed and are highly regulated. However, the price of heating fuel, specifically propane (liquefied petroleum gas or LPG), has varied widely up and down in most recent years, depending on the time of year and numerous supply and demand conditions. Growers can choose What growers should be aware of is that there are ways to reduce the from several good risk that they will have to buy propane at one of those times when the alternatives to paying price is highest. This newsletter explains several alternative methods consistently high prices growers can use to get lower and more stable propane costs over time. for propane. Understanding the Basics of Propane Pricing The most fundamental factor in propane pricing is that propane is basically a fossil fuel, being derived from raw natural gas during the oil refining process.

Received: 16 July 2020; Accepted: 30 July 2020; Published: 3 August 2020 Abstract: A series of Co3O4 catalysts with different contents of residual sodium were prepared using a precipitation method with sodium carbonate as a precipitant and tested for the catalytic oxidation 1 1 of 1000 ppm propane and toluene at a weight hourly space velocity of 40,000 mL g− h− , respectively. Several techniques were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the catalysts. Results showed that residual sodium could be partially inserted into the Co3O4 spinel lattice, inducing distortions and helping to increase the specific surface area of the Co3O4 catalysts. Meanwhile, it could negatively affect the reducibility and the oxygen mobility of the catalysts.

  • Detection and Characterization of Subsurface Dissolved Hydrocarbon Plumes by in Situ Mass Spectrometry – a Demonstration in Th
    Detection and characterization of subsurface dissolved hydrocarbon plumes by in situ mass spectrometry – A demonstration in the natural laboratory of the Coal Oil Point seep field. Ira Leifer1,2, Tim Short3, Scott Hiller4, Michael Suschikh1 California Oil Spill Prevention and Response Chevron Technology Workshop San Ramon CA, Feb 26-28 2013 Mission Goals 1. Identify dissolved components under surface oil slicks. 2. Identify and characterize dissolved oil component plumes. 3. Use sidescan sonar to characterize plume source. 4. Test conventional fluorometric detection of dissolved and submerged oil (on a shoestring budget) How a MIMS works in situ Membrane Introduction Mass Spectrometer Dissolved gas transfer across a semipermeable membrane from a sample water flow provides sample into the mass spectrometer for analysis Gases breakup into known fragments, which then are used to identify the incoming gases. Key to calibration is reduction of water vapor from the gas stream entering the mass spectrometer Introduction of Analytes from the Water • MIMS is ideal Column – Passive (except for sample pumping and heating, if desired) – Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or Teflon are most common choices (hydrophobic) – Provides sensitive detection of dissolved gases and volatile organic compounds • Need to mechanically support membrane (hydrostatic pressure) – Porous metal or ceramic frit SRI MIMS Adapted for Underwater In Situ Analysis Microcontroller Embedded PC and other electronics MS electronics (Inficon CPM 200) 200 amu linear quadrupole in vacuum housing w/ heating jacket Turbo pump (Varian/Agilent V81-M) MIMS probe Roughing pump (KNF Neuberger) High pressure membrane interface Portable Underwater Mass Spectrometry • Simultaneous in situ quantification of multiple analytes – Dissolved gases – Light hydrocarbons – Volatile organic compounds • High pressure, direct sample introduction – Under development .

  • NMR Chemical Shifts of Common Laboratory Solvents As Trace Impurities
    7512 J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 7512-7515 NMR Chemical Shifts of Common Laboratory Solvents as Trace Impurities Hugo E. Gottlieb,* Vadim Kotlyar, and Abraham Nudelman* Department of Chemistry, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan 52900, Israel Received June 27, 1997 In the course of the routine use of NMR as an aid for organic chemistry, a day-to-day problem is the identifica- tion of signals deriving from common contaminants (water, solvents, stabilizers, oils) in less-than-analyti- cally-pure samples. This data may be available in the literature, but the time involved in searching for it may be considerable. Another issue is the concentration dependence of chemical shifts (especially 1H); results obtained two or three decades ago usually refer to much Figure 1. Chemical shift of HDO as a function of tempera- more concentrated samples, and run at lower magnetic ture. fields, than today’s practice. 1 13 We therefore decided to collect H and C chemical dependent (vide infra). Also, any potential hydrogen- shifts of what are, in our experience, the most popular bond acceptor will tend to shift the water signal down- “extra peaks” in a variety of commonly used NMR field; this is particularly true for nonpolar solvents. In solvents, in the hope that this will be of assistance to contrast, in e.g. DMSO the water is already strongly the practicing chemist. hydrogen-bonded to the solvent, and solutes have only a negligible effect on its chemical shift. This is also true Experimental Section for D2O; the chemical shift of the residual HDO is very NMR spectra were taken in a Bruker DPX-300 instrument temperature-dependent (vide infra) but, maybe counter- (300.1 and 75.5 MHz for 1H and 13C, respectively).
