Nitrosamine formation has been associated with wastewater-impacted waters, but specific precursors within wastewater effluents have not been identified. Experiments indicated that nitrosamines form in low yields from quaternary amines, and that the nitrosamines form from the quaternary amines themselves, not just lower order amine impurities. Polymeric and benzylated quaternary amines were more...

Chloramination of drinking waters has been associated with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) formation as a disinfection byproduct. NDMA is classified as a probable carcinogen and thus its formation during chloramination has recently become the focus of considerable research interest. In this study, the formation mechanisms of NDMA from ranitidine and trimethylamine (TMA), as models of tertiary ami...

Interaction of glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine) with six polyamines (ethylendiamine, cadaverine, putrescine, triethylenetetramine, spermine, and tetraethylenepentamine) was studied potentiometrically. Several species of different stoichiometry are formed in the various systems, according to the general formation reaction i1 (j 2 3) (i 1 j 2 3) AH 1 H (glp) 5 A(glp)H i j i 1 j (where A 5...

The retention behavior of primary, secondary and tertiary amines was studied using normal-phase-HPLC on silica, diol, and cyano stationary phases. Several classes of amines, including benzylamines, anilines, ephedrines, tryptamines, and azatryptamines were chromatographed using mixtures of hexane and ethoxynonafluorobutane with methylene chloride and methanol. Peak tailing, diminished selectivi...

Aliphatic and aromatic mono-, diand polyamines are naturally occurring compounds formed as metabolic products in microorganisms, plants and animals, in which the principal routes of amine formation include the decarboxylation of amino acids, amination of carbonyl compounds and degradation of nitrogen-containing compounds. Accordingly, amines are important indicators of a wide variety of biochem...

In this study, organic amines were used to modify zeolite NaA and analcime synthesized using fly ash iron tailing slag as raw materials, respectively, the adsorption properties of modified zeolites toward CO2 determined. We found that when tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) was used, had highest nitrogen content. The capacity for 4.02 mmol/g 1.16 temperature 70 °C flow rate 50 mL/min. According isot...

Addition of the plant phenolic flavonoid (+)-catechin to rat liver microsomes inhibited the mutagenicity of the aromatic amines 2-aminofluorene and 4-aminobiphenyl in the Ames test. Similarly, (+)-catechin decreased the mutagenicity of N-hydroxy-4-amino-biphenyl, the proximate carcinogen, but, in contrast, had no effect on the mutagenicity of other direct-acting carcinogens such as N-methyl-N'-...

A new strategy of a bimodal sensing for amines and the first applications of radical anions as probes to colorimetrically differentiate a library of amines is reported.
