  • Possible Applications of Diethylenetriamine (Deta) in Co2 Capturing- a Mini - Review
    ___________________ POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS OF DIETHYLENETRIAMINE (DETA) IN CO2 CAPTURING- A MINI - REVIEW Rawat N1,*, Iglič A1,2, Gimsa J3 1Laboratory of Physics, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia 2Laboratory of Clinical Biophysics, Chair, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia 3University of Rostock, Chair for Biophysics, Gertrudenstr. 11A, 18057 Rostock, Germany *[email protected] Abstract In the past decades, reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere has become a challenging goal. Capturing the CO2 directly before storage is becoming a thriving alternative approach. Septavaux et al. (1) have proposed a CO2 fixation method using diethylenetriamine (DETA) to produce a range of carbamation species that can be used for metal separation and recovery. They could show that lanthanum and nickel can be separated from the exhaust gases of vehicle engines by successive CO2-induced selective precipitations. Individual metal components of La2Ni9Co alloys used to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles can also be separated. Here we suggest to use DETA as a mediator for an attractive interaction between like-charged macroions. ___________________ 79 1. Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission into the atmosphere has increased at an alarming rate. In order to reduce CO2 emissions, adequate measures for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) or utilization (CCU) need to be taken (2). Since CCS is expensive therefore more attention is directed towards CCU because it has other economic advantages. CCU would significantly reduce the cost of storage due to recycling of CO2 for further usage. In this context, Septavaux et al. (1) recently showed that the cost of CO2 capturing with the industrial polyamine DETA can be reduced even further with another environmentally beneficial process (3).

    Health Hazard Evaluation HETA 84-023-1462 DALE ELECTRONICS1 INCORPORATED Report YANKTON1 SOUTH DAKOTA PREFACE The Hazard Evaluations and Technical Assistance Branch of NIOSH conducts field investigations of possible health hazards in the workplace. These investigations are conducted under the authority of Section 20{a)(6) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 U.S.C. 669{a){6) which authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services, following a written request from any employer or authorized representative of employees, to determine whether any substance normally found in the place of employment has potentially toxic effects in such concentrations as used or found. The Hazard Evaluations and Technical Assistance Branch also provides, upon request, medical, nursing, and industrial hygiene technical and consultative assistance (TA) to Federal, state, and local agencies; labor; ·industry and other groups or individuals to control occupational health hazards and to prevent related trauma and disease.

Lee, M.S., C.I.H. DALE ELECTRONICS, INCORPORATED YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA I. SUMMARY In October 1963, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) received a request for an industrial hygiene survey of electronic resistor manufacturing processes at Dale Electronics, Inc. in Yankton, South Dakota. On December 20-21, 1S83, NIOSH investigators conducted environmental sampling at the plant. Air samples were collected for 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TOI), organic solvent vapors, mercury, lead, diethylene triamine (DETA), triorthocresyl phosphate (TOCP), and Bisphenol A.

However, this imaging modality still suffers from a low depth of penetration, thus limiting its use to shallow tissues or endoscopy-based procedures. In contrast, positron emission tomography (PET) presents a high depth of penetration and the resulting signal is less attenuated, allowing for imaging in-depth tissues. Thus, association of these imaging techniques has the potential to push back the limits of each single modality. Recently, several research groups have been involved in the development of radiolabeled fluorophores with the aim of affording dual-mode PET/OPI probes used in preclinical imaging studies of diverse pathological conditions such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, or cardiovascular diseases. Among all the available PET-active radionuclides, 18F stands out as the most widely used for clinical imaging thanks to its advantageous characteristics (t1/2 = 109.77 min; 97% β+ emitter).

To determine whether poly- no action on NMDA responses but antagonized actions of amines alter channel opening, we examined their effects on rat both spermine and 1,10-diaminodecane, which may therefore brain glutamate receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes.

The detection limit (S/N =3) of the present method was O.5 pmol per injection, which allowed the assay of spermidine with a small volume of serum. Linearity, recovery and reproducibility of the method were highly satisfatory. The concentrations of spermidine in sera were determined to be 93.2±31.2 and 83.0±27.9 pmol/ml (mean ± SD) for healthy men (n=22) and women (n::=18) vol- unteers, respectively, Introduction Polyamine level in biological fluids has recently attracted
