We describe the palladium-catalyzed multicomponent synthesis of 2-imidazolines. This reaction proceeds via the coupling of imines, acid chlorides and carbon monoxide to form imidazolinium carboxylates, followed by a decarboxylation. Decarboxylation in CHCl(3) is found to result in a mixture of imidazolinium and imidazolium salts. However, the addition of benzoic acid suppresses aromatization, a...

A simplified reaction mechanism for propane combustion has been derived. This scheme is based on two competitive fuel decomposition reactions. Further, the combustion of hydrogen has been used to derive the concentrations of the intermediate reactive species, and the kinetic parameters for the rate equations are estimated through comparison of the species concentrations calculated using detaile...

Falling back past few years rapid progress in Air pollution has become a life-threatening concern many nations throughout the world due to human activity, industrialisation, and urbanisation.. As result of these activities, sulphur oxides, carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen monoxide (CO), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), lead, mercury, other pollutants be emitted into atmosphere. Simultaneously, estimati...

HE inhalation of radioactive oxygen (0 ir ') with external chest counting allows the measurement of regional ventilation and oxygen uptake in the lung. 1 The subject inhales a measured volume of air containing a minute amount of oxygen-15 and holds his breath for 10 to 15 seconds. The initial peak counting rate is determined by the ventilation of the core of lung tissue between the counters, an...

The emission characteristics of methyl ester of refined rice bran oil – diesel blend mixed in the proportion of 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, 50:50 and 10:0 (v/v) were studied. The emission of carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons, nitric oxide and nitrogen di oxide by different fuels at various load on 3.73 kW C.I. engine were compared with respect to diesel. The emission of carbon monoxide from the en...

Recently, the authors described the catalytic elimination of nitrogen oxide from crm hydrogen [1], in the course of which a secondary contamination of gas with cark dioxide occurred in a plant in Slovakia. This fact stimulated the authors to study th undesirable reaction, i.e. oxidation of carbon monoxide by oxygen. The oxidation of carbon monoxide with respect to industrial usage has been stud...
