The atomic-scale characterization of surface active sites on γ-alumina still represents a great challenge for numerous catalytic applications. Here, we combine advanced density functional theory (DFT) calculations with one- and two-dimensional proton solid-state NMR experiments to identify the exact location spatial proximity hydroxyl groups crystallites. Our approach relies revisited models (1...

A new one-pot electrophilic chlorination and bromination with oxidative demethylation uses harmless inexpensive sodium chloride bromide Oxone to yield alicyclic ring-fused bis-benzimidazolequinones.

This article is based on a n extensive report with the same title and available from the Univenity oj Toronto Puljo &Paper Centre. referred to as pulp) used in the manufacture of a variety of paper products. The chemicals assessed in this report include chlorination derivatives of 10 compounds (oleic acid, linoleic acid, stearic acid, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, prenols, squalene, phenol, ca...

Laser desorption laser-induced fluorescence ~LD-LIF! detection of GeCl was used to determine in situ the surface coverage of chlorine during the etching of germanium by Cl2 in an inductively coupled plasma ~ICP! reactor. The ICP operated in the dim mode for radio frequency ~rf! power &350 W and in the bright mode for higher powers. The etch rate was 3.5 mm/min with 540 W rf power and 240 V subs...

Clinical studies have documented the promotion of respiratory ailments (e.g., asthma) among swimmers, especially in indoor swimming pools. Most studies of this behavior have identified trichloramine (NCl3) as the causative agent for these respiratory ailments; however, the analytical methods employed in these studies were not suited for identification or quantification of other volatile disinfe...

This study analysed the spatial and temporal occurrence of 29 disinfection by-products (DBPs) formed by chlorination chloramination.

Chlorination of drinking water is a common practice, used by numerous municipalities in the United States (US) to safeguard their water supplies. However, the chlorine used can chemically react with organic components in the drinking water to produce unwanted chlorination by-products. The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the use of granular activated carbon produced from nutshell...
