carbon disulfide/dichloromethane

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to develop valid methods for monitoring of occupational exposure to dichloromethane (DCM). METHODS Carbon cloth as an adsorbent in diffusive sampling was tested for its capacity to adsorb DCM vapor and to retain adsorbed DCM after termination of the

Solid phase micro extraction (SPME) is a fast, solvent-less alternative to conventional charcoal tube sampling/carbon disulfide extraction for volatile organic compounds (VOC). In this work, SPME was compared to the active sampling technique in a typical lab atmosphere. Two different types of fibre

Fumigants and volatile industrial chemicals are particularly hazardous to health when a freight container is fumigated or the contaminated material is introduced into its enclosed environment. Phosphine is now increasingly used as a fumigant, after bromomethane--the former fumigant of choice--has

A fibrillar morphology was obtained, compared to the featherless pristine films, via solvent annealing the films of a series of derivatives of poly(3-alkylthiophene)s (P3ATs): poly(3-dodecylthiophene) (P3DDT), poly(3,3'''-didodecyl-quaterthiophene) (PQT12), and

As an efficient technique for the preparation of polymeric hexagonal orderly arrays, the breath figure (BF) process has opened a modern avenue for a bottom-up fabrication method for more than two decades. Through the use of the water vapor condensation on the solution surface, the water droplets

In order to evaluate the potential adverse health effects of odor emissions from wastewater pump stations (WWPSs) to human, a health risk assessment was performed to study the odors emitted from an urban WWPS in a residential area, Tianjin (in North China). First, 15 types of volatile organic

A miniature ion trap mass analyzer was applied to the analysis of traces of hydrocarbons and simple heteroatomics in the vapor phase and in aqueous solution. Vapors of acetone, acetic acid, acetonitrile, benzene, butanethiol, carbon disulfide, hexane, dichloromethane, naphthalene, toluene and

To ensure the effective performance of active carbon tubes for working environment measurements, suitable desorbing solvents were selected for 46 kinds of organic compounds by the phase equilibrium method. The criteria for suitable desorbing solvents in this study was desorption of the objective

The reaction of the piperazine mono-adduct, N(CH2CH2)2NC60, with diiodine produced well ordered, black crystals of (I2N(CH2CH2)2NI2)C60·2.884(C6H6)·0.116I2, which contains two nearly linear N-I-I units. Reaction of N(CH2CH2)2NC60 with iodine monochloride produced two materials: the dihalogen adduct,

Spiperone dithiocarbamate (SPDC) was prepared by reacting spiperone with carbon disulfide followed by sodium hydroxide. SPDC was labelled with 99mTc by reduction of pertechnetate with formamidine sulfinic acid or sodium dithionite at alkaline pH, resulting in approximately 40% incorporation of

Tars produced at semi-industrial scale in a coke oven of 6 x 10(3) kg capacity were used to investigate the effect of using polyethylene waste as an additive in the carbonization process with coal. The polyethylene wastes used were low-density polyethylene from the agriculture greenhouses and

Tetrachloroethene (PCE) and carbon tetrachloride (CT) were simultaneously transformed in a packed column that was bioaugmented with the Evanite culture (EV). The data presented here have been obtained over a period of 1930days. Initially the column was continuously fed synthetic groundwater with PCE

On the basis of total temperature increase, normal dehydration, and maturity, the odor compositions of surface and internal piles in a well-run sewage sludge compost plant were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with a liquid nitrogen cooling system and a portable odor detector.
