The results indicate that the observed electron paramagnetic resonance spectra are due to polycyclic aromatic radicals formed from the parent hydrocarbons. It is suggested that benzyl halides produced in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions undergo Scholl self-condensation to give polycyclic aromatic hydrocar- bons, which are converted into corresponding polycyclic aromatic radical cations in the presence of AlCl3. The identification of observed two radicals 2,6-dimethylanthracene and 1,4,5,8-tetramethylanthraeene were supported by density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) approach. The theoretical coupling constants support the experimental assignment of the observed radicals.展开更多

For the carbon black produced by benzene feedstock, three kinds of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (acetylene, diacetylene, and vinylacetylene) are added. The detailed reaction mechanism which is proposed by Wang and Frenklach is consisted by 527 reactions and 99 chemical species. The formations of PAHs and nuclei are promoted by unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons addition. There exits optimal benzene/acetylene ratio (XA/XB = 0.50), benzene/diacetylene mixture ratio (XD/XB = 0.60), benzene/vinyl-acetylene mixture ratio (XV/XB = 0.25). The formation of nuclei is most promoted by acetylene addition, and the benzene/acetylene mixture ratio is 0.50.展开更多

An updated Kazakov mechanism empha- sizes the effect of the O2/CO2 atmosphere instead of an O2/N2 one in the premixed flame. The soot formation was taken into account in the JSR/PFR for C2H4/O2/N2. The effects of CO2 addition on soot formation in different C2H4/O2/CO2/N2 atmospheres were studied, with special emphasis on the chemical effect. The simulation shows that the endothermic reaction CO2 + H - CO + OH is responsible of the reduction of hydrocarbon intermediates in the CO2 added combustion through the supplementary formation of hydroxyl radicals. The competition of CO2 for H radical through the above forward reaction with the single most important chain branching reaction H + O2, ' O + OH reduces significantly the fuel burning rate. The chemical effects of CO2 cause a significant increase in residence time and mole fractions of CO and OH, significant decreases in some intermediates (H, C2H2), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, C6H6 and CI6H10, etc.) and soot volume fraction. The CO2 addition will leads to a decrease by only about 5% to 20% of the maximum mole fractions of some C3 to Clo hydrocarbon intermediates. The sensitivity analysis and reaction-path analysis results show that C2H4 reaction path and products are altered due to the CO2 addition.展开更多

A 4000 g mass of the drill cuttings obtained from a mud-pit close to a just-completed crude-oil well in the Niger Delta of Nigeria, 920 g of top-soil, which served as microbes and nutrients carrier and 154g of saw dust and poultry droppings were homogenized in a 10-litre plastic container of very low thermal conductivity. The mix ratio of cuttings to top-soil to saw-dust and poultry' droppings was 26:6:1. Mixing and watering of the reactors were done at 3 days interval under ambient temperature of 30 ℃ for 42 days. GC-FID results showed that the total initial PAHs concentration of the drill-cuttings was 223.52 mg/kg while the initial individual PAHs concentrations ranged from 1.67 to 70.7 mg/kg, dry weight, with a 90% predominance of the combustion-specific 3-mng PAHs. The ratio of anthracene to (phenanthrene + anthracene) = 0.31 was found to be greater than the 0.10 source-criterion for PAHs fraction of molar-mass 178 g/mol while the ratio of fluoranthene to (pyrene + fluoranthene) = 0.40 was found to be less than the 0.50 source-criterion for fraction of molar-mass 202 g/mol suggesting that the PAHs were from pyrogenic and petrogenic sources. Pyrogenic PAHs might be from a possible local heat effect while petrogenic PAHs might be from anthropogenic petroleum fractions in proprietary oil-based mud used in drilling. However, after bioremediation by composting, the total PAHs remaining in the drill cuttings were 4.25 mg/kg (representing a 98.1% reduction). The half-lives of the PAHs in the medium ranged from 8 to 43 days.展开更多

Also, treatment of 2 with ethyl chloroacetate yielded N^-carbethoxymethyl-2-ethylthio-pyrimidine 15, which on reaction with ethyl carbazate and hydrazine hydrate afforded pyrimidotriazine and imidazopyrimidine, respectively. Chlorination of 2 using phosphorous oxycbloride yielded 4-chloropyrimidine 18, which reacted with some heterocyclic compounds having vicinal amino cyano groups to give some new polynuclear heterocyclic system. Also, the effect of some active methylene compounds on 18 was also studied. Some of the newly synthesized compounds were tested as mollucicidal agents against Biomphlaria alexandrina snails that caused intestinal bilharzias, the national problem in Egypt.展开更多

The extracts from grape and onion exhibited an interesting selectivity, yielding corresponding hydroxylamines or amines as major products under mild conditions of 30 ℃ and pH 7.0. Grape extracts reduced the 4-nitro-l,8-naphthalic anhydride with the highest conversion rate (〉99%) and the highest ratio of hydro- xylamine to amine (95:5). In contrast, the onion extracts reduced 4-nitro-l,8-naphthalic anhydride with a conversion rate of 94% and a ratio of hydroxylamine to amine of 8:92. The thiol-reducing agent, 13-mercaptoethanol, and metal cations, Ca2+ and Mg2+, greatly increased the reductive efficiency. This work provides an alternative strategy for biotransformation of nitro-polycyclic compounds.展开更多

The nanocatalysts show good catalytic activities for aryl iodides and aryl bromides and moderate activity with aryl chloride substrates. Coupling of sterically hindered substrates could also be achieved in reasonable yields. The heterogeneous catalyst is stable, can be stored without precautions to exclude air or moisture, and can be easily recycled and reused.展开更多
