Negative ion formation through dissociative electron attachment to the group IV tetrachlorides: Carbon tetrachloride, silicon tetrachloride and germanium tetrachloride

Electron-impact ionization of silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4).

We measured absolute partial cross sections for the formation of various singly charged and doubly charged positive ions produced by electron impact on silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) using two different experimental techniques, a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS) and a fast-neutral-beam apparatus. The energy range covered was from the threshold to 900 eV in the TOF-MS and to 200 eV in th...

Carbon Tetrachloride in Helminthiasis

In the Journal of the American Mcdical Association of November 19th, 1921, there appeared a note by Maurice C. Hall on the use of Carbon tetrachloride for the removal of hookworms in animals. Dr. Hall is the senior zoologist, United States Bureau of Animal Industry, and he found this drug to be a powerful anthelmintic in dogs* and suggested its trial in human uncinariasis. Carbon tetrachloride ...

Carbon Tetrachloride Toxicological Overview

 Acute inhalation or ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and difficulty breathing  Acute inhalation or ingestion can also cause liver and kidney damage which in severe cases may lead to coma and death  Dermal exposure may cause irritation and contact with undiluted carbon tetrachloride may cause a burning sensation and redness  Ocular exposu...
