the determination region of solubility of methanol with gasoline of high aromatic content was investigated experimentally at temperature of 288.2 k. a type 1 liquid-liquid phase diagram was obtained for this ternary system. these results were correlated simultaneously by the uniquac model. the values of the interaction parameters between each pair of components in the system were obtained for t...

Proteomics and targeted gene disruption were used to investigate the catabolism of benzene, styrene, biphenyl, and ethylbenzene in Rhodococcus jostii RHA1, a well-studied soil bacterium whose potent polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-transforming properties are partly due to the presence of the related Bph and Etb pathways. Of 151 identified proteins, 22 Bph/Etb proteins were among the most abundan...

In this work, an experimental and modeling analysis of the adsorption of four aromatic compounds (i.e., toluene, naphthalene, o-xylene and ethylbenzene) onto a commercial activated carbon is carried out. The aim is to assess the suitability of the adsorption process for the treatment of polluted groundwater, also when a multiple contamination is detected. Batch adsorption tests from simulated p...

During the Mediterranean Intensive Oxidant Study (MINOS) campaign in August 2001 gas-phase organic compounds were measured using comprehensive twodimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) at the Finokalia ground station, Crete. In this paper, C7−C11 aromatic and n-alkane measurements are presented and interpreted. The mean mixing ratios of the hydrocarbons varied from 1±1 pptv (i-propylbenzene) to...

the charge transfer (ct) complex formation of benzonitrile as acceptor with the aromatic donors o-, m-, p-xylene and ethylbenzene in ccl4 solutions is investigated by chemical shift measurements relative to an external reference. the equilibrium parameters, q and dad of their weak molecular complexes, as found numerically modified cresswel- allred (c-a) method, is compared with graphically scat...

The aim of this work is to further validate a general and detailed kinetic model on very recent experimental data of the oxidation and combustion of aromatic compounds and also in the case of their blends with n-alkanes, both studied in a jet-stirred reactor. The comparisons between new experimental data and model predictions further confirm the validity and the broad applicability of the kinet...

Although different NbOx units are present in Nb2O5-based catalysts, the correlations between these structures and activity remain unclear, which considerably hinders further development of Nb2O5 photocatalysis. Herein, we utilized N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as probe molecule to distinguish role activation C–H bond under visible light irradiation. With addition NHPI, catalysts with highly disor...
