The substance of concern is 1,2-dichloroethane (hereafter referred to as EDC), EC No. 203-458-1, CAS No. 107-06-2. The applicant is applying for two uses of EDC which are associated with a combined consumption of '''''#B '''' (Use 1 accounts for ''''' '#B ''' and Use 2 for ''''''#B'''') of the substance: Use 1: Industrial use as a swelling agent during the sulphonation reaction of polystyrene- divinylbenzene copolymer beads in the manufacturing of strong acid cation exchange resins Use 2: Industrial use as a swelling agent and reaction medium during the phthalimidomethylation reaction of polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer beads in the manufacturing of anion exchange and chelating resins. Both processes take place within the applicant’s Leverkusen production facility in Germany (discussed further in Section 2.4) and, to a certain extent, they are mutually supporting, with EDC circulated in one closed loop. In addition, as can be deduced from the use wording, the function of EDC in the processes shares significant similarities. Given these similarities, to avoid extensive repetition and ensure process synergies are elucidated, both uses of EDC have been assessed within a single AoA document, although where important (e.g. in the identification of technical feasibility criteria and the detailed assessment of the shortlisted alternatives) discussion on the uses has been separated1. With regard to the relevant products manufactured by the applicant, strong acid cation exchange resins (SAC ERs), anion exchange resins (AERs) and chelating resins (CRs) are all sub-categories of ion exchange resin (IER) that find use across a very diverse range of downstream sectors, from water softening applications to waste decontamination in the

The energy differences between the initial state and the transition state for a molecule of interest are factored into internal and external mechanistic perturbation components. The internal perturbations quantify the interactions of the appended perturber (P) with the reaction center (C). These internal perturbations are factored into SPARC’s mechanistic components of electrostatic and resonance effects. External perturbations quantify the solute-solvent interactions (solvation energy) and are factored into H-bonding, field stabilization and steric effects. These models have been tested using 1471 reliable measured base, acid and general base-catalyzed carboxylic acid ester hydrolysis rate constants in water and in mixed solvent systems at different temperatures.

    Efficacy of a Food-Grade Mixture of Volatile Compounds to Reduce

    EFFICACY OF A FOOD-GRADE MIXTURE OF VOLATILE COMPOUNDS TO REDUCE SALMONELLA LEVELS ON FOOD CONTACT SURFACES by LAURIE LEVEILLE (Under the Direction of Mark Harrison) ABSTRACT A novel antimicrobial solution called Flavorzon was evaluated for its ability to reduce Salmonella contamination levels on food contact surfaces. The food contact surfaces evaluated include stainless steel, HDPE cutting board, PVC conveyor belt, and HDPE tote plastic, which were inoculated by spot inoculation or by growing attached cells on the coupons for 48 h. The effectiveness of Flavorzon was evaluated by comparing it to other common sanitizers including chlorine, peracetic acid, and quaternary ammonium compounds. There was no difference in the effectiveness of Flavorzon compared to the other common sanitizers. All sanitizers were more effective on spot inoculated cells than on attached cells. The food contact surface tested also affected the ability of sanitizers to reduce Salmonella. Flavorzon shows potential to be used as a natural alternative to other common sanitizers.

L. CARTER DONGMINLUO IRINA L.

This information is needed to reduce the uncertainties of ozone reactivity scales for stationary source emissions. The compounds studied were cyclohexane, cyclohexane, isopropyl alcohol, the three octanol isomers, diethyl ether, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyrate, n-butyl acetate, and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate. "Incremental reactivity" experiments were carried out to determine the effect of each compound on 0 3 formation, NO oxidation and integrated OH radical levels when added to irradiations of reactive organic gas (ROG) - NOx mixtures representing simplified polluted urban atmospheres. Differing ROG surrogates and ROGINOx ratios were employed to test how the impacts of the compounds vary with chemical conditions. In addition, single compound - NOx irradiations were carried out for the various ketones, OH radical rate constants were measured for the octanol isomers and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and the yields of the C8 carbonyl products were determined for each of the octanol.isorners.
