  • 1997-11-12 Acrolein As Federal Hazardous Air Pollutant
    ACROLEIN Acrolein is a federal hazardous air pollutant and was identified as a toxic air contaminant in April 1993 under AB 2728. CAS Registry Number: 107-02-8 H2C=CHCHO Molecular Formula: C3H4O Acrolein is a colorless or yellowish, flammable liquid with an unpleasant, extremely pungent odor. It is soluble in petroleum ether, water, and alcohol and miscible with hydrocarbons, acetone, and benzene (Sax, 1989). Acrolein polymerizes (especially in the presence of light, alkali, or strong acid) forming disacryl, a plastic solid (Merck, 1989). Physical Properties of Acrolein Synonyms: acraldehyde; allyl aldehyde; acrylic aldehyde; Biocide; 2-propenal Molecular Weight: 56.06 Boiling Point: 52.5 oC Melting Point: -88.0 oC Flash Point: -18 oC (< 0 oF) (open cup) Vapor Density: 1.94 (air = 1) Vapor Pressure: 210 mm Hg at 20 oC Density/Specific Gravity: 0.8389 at 20/4 oC Log Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient: -0.09 Water Solubility: 208,000 mg/L at 20 oC Henry's Law Constant: 4.4 x 10-6 atm-m3/mole Conversion Factor: 1 ppm = 2.29 mg/m3 (Howard, 1990; HSDB, 1991; Merck, 1989; U.S. EPA, 1994a) SOURCES AND EMISSIONS A. Sources Acrolein is emitted from sources where it is manufactured and used as an intermediate for glycerine, methionine, glutaraldehyde, and other organic chemicals. It is also found in tobacco smoke, forest fire emissions, and gasoline and diesel exhaust. Acrolein is also a photooxidation product of various hydrocarbons including 1,3-butadiene (Howard, 1990). Toxic Air Contaminant Identification List Summaries - ARB/SSD/SES September 1997 23 Acrolein The primary stationary sources that have reported emissions of acrolein in California are paper mills, and abrasive, asbestos, miscellaneous non-metallic mineral, and wood products (ARB, 1997b).

Conducting hydrogenation reactions on model gold surfaces is useful for obtaining mechanistic insight and for fur- ther enhancing our understanding of the catalytic properties of supported-gold catalysts. Herein, we report the chemoselec- tive hydrogenation of aldehydes over ketones on gold surfaces. The hydrogenation chemistry of oxygenated hydrocarbons has been studied on transition-metal surfaces for a variety of reactions that are important to the pharmaceutical- and chemi- cal industries.[7] For example, C=O bond hydrogenation is a key step in the catalytic conversion of cellulosic biomass.[8] In addi- tion, gold-based catalysts have also shown exceptional activity for the selective hydrogenation of a,b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.[9] Claus found that, in the production of allyl alco- hol from the hydrogenation of acrolein, gold catalysts yielded about 10-times-higher selectivity for C=O bond hydrogenation than traditional platinum-based catalysts.[10] Therefore, explor- ing the individual reactivity of carbonyl-hydrogenation could provide useful information for a better holistic understanding of these important catalytic reactions.

Acrolein (CH2=CHCHO) is the simplest member of the unsaturated aldehydes and enters the environment from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, industrial discharges, herbicides, chemical control agents of fouling organisms, and normal metabolic processes of animals. Acrolein is volatile, flammable, and explosive. Biochemical and toxic effects of acrolein are caused by its reaction with sulfhydryl compounds to form a stable thiol ether. Acrolein metabolites under certain conditions are reportedly mutagenic, teratogenic, or carcinogenic. Acrolein degrades quickly in soils and in plant tissues; in water the half-time persistence is usually less than 50 h and in the atmosphere, less than 3 h.

The ther:modynamic para:meters are also reported and a plausible mechanism has been suggested. SE of Cu(III) as an oxidizing agent is well corrections made for any self-decomposition of known in analytical chemistry in the estimation Cu (III) during the reaction. U of sugars-, glycerols-, amino acids", proteinss, carboxylic acids", carbonyl compounds" and alcohols? Results The presence of Cu(III) as intermediate was also Under the conditions [Cu(III)] ~ [aldehyde] the reported in some Cu(II)-catalysed oxidation reactions plots of log (absorbance) versus time were linear by peroxydisulphate" and vanadium (V)9. The kine- (Fig. lA), indicating the order in [Cu(III)J to be tics of decomposition and formation of Cu(III) unity. From the slopes of the above plots the diperiodate and ditellurate complexes were also pseudo-first order rate constants (k') were evaluated.
