Good optical transparency is a fundamental requirement of liquid scintillator (LS) detectors. Characterizing the to its own emitted light key parameter determine overall sensitivity large-volume detector. The attenuation in an optical-pure LS dominated by Rayleigh scattering, which poses intrinsic limit LS. This work presents spectrometric approach measuring wavelength-dependent scattering leng...

The possibility of linear alkyl benzene solfunate (LAS) photocatalytic degradation through application of TiO2 nanoparticles was investigated. 10(mg/L) of LAS has been affected by either UV or TiO2 and simultaneous use of both of them in separated experiments. Moreover, the effect of initial concentrations of LAS and TiO2, pH, present various anions and different UV power was studied to determi...

Platinum(II) complexes of 1,3-bis(2-pyridyl)benzene containing two alkyl chains are unexpectedly mesomorphic and capable of changing absorption and emission colour depending on the phase obtained after thermal treatment.

The reaction of cyclic di(amido)- and (alkyl)(amino)-carbenes with white phosphorus in benzene afford P8 clusters supported by four carbenes, or a novel type of carbene-P4 adduct.

In the title compound, C(23)H(21)Br(2)N, which was synthesized by the N-alkyl-ation of 1-tert-butyl-4-(chloro-meth-yl)benzene with 3,6-dibromo-9H-carbazole, the asymmetric unit contains two unique mol-ecules. Each carbazole ring system is essentially planar, with mean deviations of 0.0077 and 0.0089 Å for the two mol-ecules. The carbazole planes make dihedral angles of 78.9 (2) and 81.8 (2)° wi...

Direct discharge of untreated sewage to surface waters is a common practice in many parts of the world. However, relatively little is known about the behaviour of synthetic organic pollutants under these conditions. This paper describes a sampling campaign designed to track changes in water quality in a surface water system in Vientiane (Lao PDR) receiving significant quantities of untreated wa...

The quantitative and qualitative composition of the light pyrolysis resin was preliminarily studied on an Agilent Technologies 7820A gas chromatograph, amount benzene its mono-, di-, trialkyl derivatives determined. By catalytic thermal treatment, mass fraction in increased from 37.94 to 47.38%. benzene-toluene separated by rectification presence petroleum-polymer residue investigated. Unlike t...

The title compound, C(19)H(12)Br(3)N, was synthesized by N-alkyl-ation of 1-bromo-4-(bromo-meth-yl)benzene with 3,6-dibromo-9H-carbazole. There are two unique mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The carbazole ring system is essentially planar, with a mean deviation of 0.0402 Å for one mol-ecule and 0.0279 Å for the other. The carbazole planes are inclined to the benzene ring planes at dihedral a...
