The acidity constants of some synthesized protonated pyrazolo quinazoline compounds were determined potentiometrically at ionic strength of 0.1 M in DMF: water (60:40 v/v) system at different temperatures (298.15 K to 318.15 K). The pKa values have been found to increase with increasing electron-donating nature of substitutions. Some thermodynamics parameters such as enthalpy (ΔH°), Gibb’s free...

Considerable effort has been put into characterizing the ionic composition of fogs and clouds over the past twenty-five years. Recently it has become evident that clouds and fogs often contain large concentrations of organic material as well. Here we report findings from a series of studies examining the organic composition of radiation fogs in central California. Organic compounds in these fog...

Adsorption using activated carbon and ion-exchange is used to remove a range of organic compounds and ammonia respectively from treated wastewaters. Such treatment may follow secondary biological treatment to reduce BOD. Organic nitrogen (e.g. proteins) is degraded to ammonia and residual organic compounds may also be present following secondary treatment. Residual organic compounds may be thos...
