2-Chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) is a simulant for the chemical warfare agent, bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide, also known as mustard gas. Functionalized Zr-BTC synthesized and exploited optical detection of CEES.

In this work a novel bioassay for mustard agent detection was proposed. The bioassay is based on the capability of these compounds to inhibit the enzyme choline oxidase. The enzymatic activity, which is correlated to the mustard agents, was electrochemically monitored measuring the enzymatic product, hydrogen peroxide, by means of a screen-printed electrode modified with Prussian Blue nanoparti...

In the production of biological effects such as vesication by bis-p-chloroethyl sulfide (mustard gas) it has been considered probable that inactivation of tissue enzymes is of foremost importance. In view of the reaction characteristics of bis-p-chloroethyl sulfide it has appeared likely that this inhibition is due to an alkylation reaction involving essential groups of the enzymes. Involvement...

nanocrystalline magnesium oxides were prepared by sol–gel method and were characterized by x-ray diffraction, n2-bet, sem and infrared spectroscopy techniques. the results confirmed the formation of nano- mgo materials with crystallite size in range of 5-20 nm and surface areas of 336-556m2/g. the product has been tested as destructive adsorbent for the decontamination of (2-chloroethyl) ethyl ...

mnco2o4 (mno-co2o3) nanocomposite as a binary oxide has been successfully prepared by precipitation method using cobalt nitrate and manganese nitrate as the precursors and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive micro-analysis (sem-edx) and x-ray diffraction (xrd) techniques. in this work, we report the hydrolysis kinetics reactions of semi mustard (chloroethyl ethy...

A case histories course was introduced into the CEE curriculum at University of Louisville in fall 2004, to address various specialties and to synthesize what the students from various specializations learned in different courses. The course, patterned after a course taught by Dr. Ralph B. Peck at the University of Illinois, satisfies many ABET course outcomes and educational objectives. By inv...
