−A study of the phase transformations generated by chlorine during the calcination of clays and kaolins is presented. The original samples and residues of the thermal treatment carried out in air and chlorine atmospheres are analyzed at different calcination times and temperatures. Sample characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Xray micr...

Bromide and thiocyanate have been shown to be effective inhibitors of the chlorination process leading to chlortetracycline formation by certain strains of Streptomyces aureofaciens Duggar (Gourevitch et al., 1955; Doerschuk, et at., 1956). Sekizawa (1955) reported thiourea, 2-thiouracil, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and thioglycolic-f3-aminonaphthalide (thionalide) to inhibit chlorination by this ...

OBJECTIVES Latino children are more likely to be unrestrained passengers in motor vehicles than non-Latino children, but little is known about the use of booster seats in Latino families. This study investigates Latino parents' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about booster seats, barriers to booster seat use, and effective strategies for message delivery in the Latino community. METHODS Two ...

This study used telephone interview data on booster seat use from a state-wide probability sample of parents with children ages 4-8-years-old who were living in Michigan. Interviews were completed with parents of children in 350 households. Analyses examined the entire sample, and three sub-groups: always users, part-time booster seat users, and booster seat non-users. Results indicated that bo...

Chlorination-induced changes in the physicochemical characteristics of effluent organic matter (EfOM) and their role fouling hollow fiber polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration membranes during wastewater reclamation was mechanistically investigated. Pre-chlorination strongly influenced pressure rise constant flux forward filtration as well hydraulically irreversible by backwashing with...

Last week we reviewed the history and current use of chlorination in the treatment of drinking water. Our discussion highlighted a number of potential risks associated with chlorine and some of its reaction products. 1 But what are the alternative methods currently under study for disinfecting public water supplies? Which organizations in the US and abroad are concerned with chlorination and wa...

Comparative studies on chlorination and methylation reactions have been carried out to afford chloromethyl(methyl)silanes. For chlorination reactions, three types of initiators, viz., azobisisobutyronitrile, benzoyl peroxide and dicumyl peroxide have been studied at different reaction conditions, e.g., solvent, temperature, time duration of reaction and molar ratio of reactants in view to get o...
