چکیده
we have first to look at its effects in small doses and then in larger and constant doses. I will not enter into arguments about the harm, misery and crime it is responsible for, suffice it to say that it can save as well as destroy. Alcohol in moderate doses stimulates the brains, the respiratory and cardiac nerves, and produces capillary dilatation, diaphoresis, and a sensation of warmth, but no elevation of temperature. It also stimulates the gastric secretion, if taken judiciously ; but if the alcohol should be taken continuously, then it produces dyspepsia; in fact there is no

Selective Oxidation of Lauryl Alcohol to Lauraldehyde under Liquid-Liquid Phase Transfer Catalysis (LL-PTC) with Potassium Chromate as the Oxidizing Agent
In the present research, the selective oxidation of lauryl alcohol to lauraldehyde was studied under liquid-liquid phase transfer conditions using potassium chromate (K2CrO4) as an oxidizing agent and tetrabutyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as the phase transfer catalyst. Chromium (VI) reagents are used in these oxidations since the alcohols are selectively oxidized <e...
متن کاملResponse Surface Methodology for Investigating the Effects of Hydrolysis Reaction Parameters on Molecular Structure and Performance of Polyvinyl Alcohol as Primary Suspending Agent
This study presents the synthesis of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) by solution polymerization and its partial hydrolysis to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using alkaline alcoholysis. The influence of the molar ratio of hydrolysis catalyst (NaOH) to PVAc and the time and temperature of the saponification reaction on the degree of hydrolysis and molecular weight of the PVA were investigated using response su...
