Visnic, P. A. Cerria Allied Chemical Corporation Morristown, New Jersey 07960 Sumnary Coal tar pitch is used primarily as a binder in the manufacture of carbon electrodes for the aluminum and steel industries. The pitch repre- sents the main product from the continuous, high-temperature distillation of coke oven tar. The pitch is produced and generally handled as a liquid at high temperatures, thus resulting in a potential for hydrocarbon emissions during its handling. An ever-increasing need for control of hydrocarbon emissions has resulted for process and storage equipment since amendments were made in 1977 to the Clean Air Act. Within the next several years, most industries will be faced with requirements for the installation of air pollution con- trol equipment. This paper deals with the types of emissions and methods used in quantifying and controlling emissions from coal tar pitch storage equipment. To better understand the nature of coal tar pitch, a brief description is given of its origin, chemistry and physical properties. Coal Tar Distillation Coal tar pitch is the residue from the distillation of coal tar and represents from 30% to 60% of the tar. It is a complex, bituminous sub- stance and has been estimated to contain about 5,000 compounds.

By ANNIEHOMER, Fellow of Newnham College, and JOHNEDWARD PURVIS, M.A. FROMthe products of the action of aluminium chloride on naphthalene, besides PP-dinaphthyl previously isolated by Friedel and Crafts from the same reaction, there have been isolated three new hydrocarbons which have been described in detail by one of us (Homer, Trans., 1907, 9 1, 1103).

It was thought that the hydrocarbon C,,HZ6 was formed by the condensation of either two PP-dinaphthgl or four naphthalene molecules, more probably by the former, as an increase in the time allowed for the action of aluminium chloride on naphthalene, or a rise in the temperature at which the reaction was conducted, caused a decrease in the amount of the hydrocarbon aad an increase in the amount of the hydrocarbon C,,H,, produced. It was suggested that the substance C261322was a homologue of dinaphthanthracene, CZ2Hl4,and its formation from alkylnaphthalenes, which are also formed during the reaction, was given as follows : The intense fluorescence of the substance suggested the presence of an anthracenoid linking, In the method of formation thus proposed, hydrogen would be eliminated from a /3-methyl group of trimethylnaphthalene.

  • Absence of Photoemission from the Fermi Level in Potassium Intercalated Picene and Coronene films: Structure, Polaron Or Correlation Physics?
    Absence of photoemission from the Fermi level in potassium intercalated picene and coronene films: structure, polaron or correlation physics? Benjamin Mahns,1 Friedrich Roth,1 and Martin Knupfer1 IFW Dresden, P.O. Box 270116, D-01171 Dresden, Germany (Dated: 13 September 2018) The electronic structure of potassium intercalated picene and coronene films has been studied using photoemission spectroscopy. Picene has additionally been intercalated using sodium. Upon alkali metal addition core level as well as valence band pho- toemission data signal a filling of previously unoccupied states of the two molecular materials due to charge transfer from potassium. In contrast to the observation of superconductivity in Kxpicene and Kxcoronene (x ∼ 3), none of the films studied shows emission from the Fermi level, i. e. we find no indication for a metallic ground state. Several reasons for this observation are discussed. arXiv:1203.4728v1 [cond-mat.supr-con] 21 Mar 2012 1 I. INTRODUCTION Superconductivity always has attracted a large number of researchers since this phe- nomenon harbors challenges and prospects both under fundamental and applied points of view. Very recently, it has been discovered that some molecular crystal consisting of poly- cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons demonstrate superconductivity upon alkali metal addition. Furthermore, these compounds are characterized by rather high transition temperatures into 1 2 the superconducting state, for instance K3picene (Tc=18 K) and K3coronene (Tc=15 K) . Most recently, superconductivity with a transition temperature of 33 K has been reported 3 for K3dibenzopentacene . These doped aromatic hydrocarbons thus represent a class of or- ganic superconductors with transition temperatures only slightly below that of the famous 4{8 alkali metal doped fullerenes with Tc's up to 40 K .

  • Certificate of Analysis
    National Institute of Standards & Technology Certificate of Analysis Standard Reference Material® 1597a Complex Mixture of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons from Coal Tar This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in the evaluation and validation of analytical methods for the determination of a natural, combustion-related mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). SRM 1597a is isolated from a coal tar sample and dissolved in toluene. It is suitable for direct analysis (i.e., without sample cleanup or concentration) in the determination of PAHs using analytical techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This SRM may also be used to evaluate procedures for measurement of mutagenic activity of combustion-related mixtures of PAHs and related compounds. A unit of SRM 1597a consists of one 5 mL ampoule, containing 1.3 mL of material. Certified Mass Fraction Values: Certified values for concentrations, expressed as mass fractions, for 34 PAHs are provided in Table 1. The certified values are based on the agreement of results obtained at NIST from two or more chemically independent analytical techniques [1,2]. A NIST certified value is a value for which NIST has the highest confidence in its accuracy in that all known or suspected sources of bias have been investigated or accounted for by NIST. Reference Mass Fraction Values: Reference values for concentrations, expressed as mass fractions, are provided for 36 additional PAHs in Table 2 and for 10 polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASH) in Table 3. Reference values are given in Table 4 for the mutagenic activity of SRM 1597a.

CREOSOTE iii UPDATE STATEMENT Toxicological profiles are revised and republished as necessary, but no less than once every three years. For information regarding the update status of previously released profiles, contact ATSDR at: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology/Toxicology Information Branch 1600 Clifton Road NE, E-29 Atlanta, Georgia 30333 V FOREWORD This toxicological profile is prepared in accordance with guidelines" developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The original guidelines were published in the Federal Register on April 17, 1987. Each profile will be revised and republished as necessary. The ATSDR toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described therein. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The profile is not intended to be an exhaustive document; however, more comprehensive sources of specialty information are referenced. The focus of the profiles is on health and toxicologic information; therefore, each toxicological profile begins with a public health statement that describes, in nontechnical language, a substance's relevant toxicological properties.
