Selective toxicity of alkanolamines.

چکیده
The antimicrobial effects of diethanolamine, dimethylamino-methyl-propanol, and butylethanolamine are greatly enhanced at high pH. Their antimicrobial activities are closely correlated with their uncharged forms, indicating that diffusion through cell membrane(s) is rate limiting for the antimicrobial action. Since these compounds are selectively toxic at high pH, they are appropriate antimicrobial agents for use in alkaline metalworking fluids.

Mass transfer with complex chemical reactions Simultaneous absorption of H,S and CO, in solutions of alkanolamines
An absorption model has been developed which is able to calculate the simultaneous absorption rates (and corresponding enhancement factors) of two gaseous components into a reactive liquid. In the liquid phase multiple complex parallel reversible reactions may take place. This model, for example, can be used for design and development of gas-treating processes for the selective removal of hydro...
متن کاملA review of analytical methods for the determination of sulfolane and alkanolamines in environmental studies.
Sulfolane and alkanolamines are used extensively in the processing of sour natural gases. Over many years of operation, there have been inadvertent leaks of these chemicals to groundwater and wetlands surrounding gas processing facilities, leading to uptake by vegetation. Because sulfolane and alkanolamines are extremely water-soluble, their analysis has presented challenges, particularly requi...
متن کاملTandem Mass Spectrometry of Alkanolamines in Environmental Samples
Alkanolamines are anthropogenic compounds used extensively not only in the processing of sour natural gas but in other operations such as the petrochemical and fossil-fuel fired industries to reduce and prevent the emission of green house gases into the environment. Alkanolamines also find uses as corrosion inhibitors, emulsifying agents and in pharmaceutical formulations (Dobberpuhl and Johnso...
متن کاملSelective detection of alkanolamine vapors by ion mobility spectrometry with ketone reagent gases.
The ion mobility (IMS) spectra of the alkanolamines, monoethanolamine (MEA), 3-amino-1-propanol (PRA), 4-amino-1-butanol (BUA), and 5-amino-1-pentanol (PEA) with acetone and 4-heptanone reagent gases have been measured using a hand-held spectrometer. Monomer and dimer peak patterns were observed for all the alkanolamines with acetone reagent gas. Drift times of monomer and dimer ion clusters fo...

The Plastic Waste phenomenon, which is the result of increasing poly (ethylene terephthalate) production and the wide range PET consumption in different industries, caused one of the major environmental concerns. Therefore,many different ways have been studied and applied for chemical recycling of PET. One of the most important ways to depolymerize poly (ethylene terephthalate) is the aminolysi...
