We analysed PAHs and their major metabolites in milk by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results evidence several major points: (1) benzo(k)fluorene, benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene were not detected in the milk; (2) unexpectedly, the concentration of fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene and chrysene did not change with time; (3) monohydroxylated PAH metabolites (-OH), namely 2-OH-fluorene, 3-OH-phenanthrene and 1-OH-pyrene were detected shortly after administration. The concentrations of 2-OH-fluorene and 3-OH-phenanthrene reached, respectively, maxima of 0.41 and 0.22 ng/mL during the first exposure week, whereas the concentration of 1-OH pyrene increased to reach a maximum of 0.97 ng/mL on day 14, then slightly decreased during the last two exposure weeks. Those findings suggest a lack of activation of a metabolism that could lead to an excretion of PAHs into milk under native forms. However, a slight increase in concentration could induce the metabolism, which should lead to an increase in the excretion of metabolites into the milk. In spite of the absence of a significant transfer of parent PAHs to milk, the appearance of metabolites in milk raises questions of their impact on human health.

Herein, we review the most interesting systems for this process with different oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and molecular oxygen. Using H2O2, Na-GeX has been shown to be a most stable and active catalyst. Mesoporous TS-1 and Ti-MCM-41 are also stable, but the use of other metals such as Cr, V, Fe and Mo leads to leaching of the metal. Homogeneous systems based on binuclear manganese(IV) complexes have also been shown to be interesting. When t-BuOOH is used, the active systems are those phthalocyanines based on Ru, Co and Cu and polyoxometalates of dinuclear ruthenium and palladium.

  • 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.

It has been found that degradation processes cannot be eliminated entirely, but they can be slowed down considerably. Photodegradation kinetics of fluorene, anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene were studied in various organic solvents. Solvents known as good media to store PAhs for a long time were selected with respect to avoid degradation. in the case of fluorene, 9-fluorenone and 9-hydroxyfluorene were detected as main photoproducts. Formation of anthraquinone and 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone during the degradation of anthracene was observed.

  • Are the Most Well Studied of All Ring Systems. They Have a Limited Number Of, Almost Strain Free, Conformations
    Chem 201/Beauchamp Topic 6, Conformations (cyclohexanes) 1 Cyclohexanes Cyclohexane rings (six atom rings in general) are the most well studied of all ring systems. They have a limited number of, almost strain free, conformations. Because of their well defined conformational shapes, they are frequently used to study effects of orientation or steric effects when studying chemical reactions. Additionally, six atom rings are the most commonly encountered rings in nature. Cyclohexane structures do not choose to be flat. Slight twists at each carbon atom allow cyclohexane rings to assume much more comfortable conformations, which we call chair conformations. (Chairs even sound comfortable.) The chair has an up and down shape all around the ring, sort of like the zig-zag shape seen in straight chains (...time for models!). C C C C C C lounge chair - used to kick back and relax while you study your organic chemistry chair conformation Cyclohexane rings are flexible and easily allow partial rotations (twists) about the C-C single bonds. There is minimal angle strain since each carbon can approximately accommodate the 109o of the tetrahedral shape. Torsional strain energy is minimized in chair conformations since all groups are staggered relative to one another. This is easily seen in a Newman projection perspective. An added new twist to our Newman projections is a side-by-side view of parallel single bonds. If you look carefully at the structure above or use your model, you should be able to see that a parallel relationship exists for all C-C bonds across the ring from one another.

  • Benzene Aromaticity Tutorial
    K1-Benzene/Aromaticity Worksheet/Tutorial (For this worksheet you may find it helpful to read the ‘How to Use the WebCSD’ instruction sheet first) 1. The above diagram shows 2D pictures of cyclohexane and benzene. Using the refcodes BENZEN and CYCHEX, can you write down their molecular formulae and explain the visible differences in structures between the two molecules? 2. Why are the 2D pictures poor representations of these molecules? 3. Using the WebCSD measure the bond lengths of C-C single bonds in alkanes such as ETHANE01 and HEXANE01 and C=C double bonds in alkenes such as ETHLEN10 and COVJON. Now measure the bond lengths and angles between carbon atoms around the aromatic ring in BENZEN and compare them with your measured values for C=C and C-C. What does this suggest about the bonding in benzene? 4. The WebCSD uses real crystal structures. Due to the packing of molecules in the crystal slightly different results than expected are shown. The torsion angle is a measure of the planarity (‘degree of flatness’) of the selected group of atoms in the molecule. Measure the torsion angle for benzene; what should the torsion angle be? 5. Using the information from the previous questions, draw a diagram and explain the bonding in benzene. 6. Why is benzene unreactive compared to alkenes? Produced by Steven Carman at Newcastle University. Edited by Peter Hoare. K1-Benzene/Aromaticity Worksheet/Tutorial Answers 1. Cyclohexane C6H12.

NRTL liquid activity coefficient model and PRO/II with PROVISION 6.01, a commercial process simulator, were used to simulate the overall azeotropic distillation process. We determined the total reboiler heat duties as an objective function and the concentration of IPA at concentrator top as a manipulated variable. As a result, 38.7 mole percent of IPA at concentrator top gave the optimum value that minimized the total reboiler heat duties of the three distillation columns. Key words: Azeotropic Distillation, Entrainer, NRTL Liquid Activity Coefficient Model, Simulation, Optimization INTRODUCTION using special distillation. One is to utilize an azeotropic distillation process using benzene or cyclohexane as an entrainer [Font et al., An anhydrous isopropyl alcohol (IPA) product with purity over 2003; Tao et al., 2003; Al-Amer, 2000; Fele et al., 2000] and the 99.9% by weight has been widely used as a raw material of paint other is an extractive distillation process using ethylene glycol as a or ink products and as a solvent in electronic and medicine indus- solvent [Ligero and Ravagnani, 2003; Pinto et al., 2000].
