Flavones and chromanones are known to be biologically important compounds over 4000 chemically unique flavanoids have been identified in plant sources. These low-molecular-weight substances, found in all vascular plants, with an assortment of basic structure of phenyl benzopyrones (phenyl chromones). In the present work 2-hydroxy pyrimidine and 2-mercapto pyrimidine were prepared from phenol i....

produced in vast quantities due to their numerous applications such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, solvents, hydraulic and heat transfer fluids, plasticizers, and intermediates for chemical synthesis. Because of their toxicity, bio-concentration, and persistence, the ubiquitous distribution of the halogenated compounds in the biosphere has caused public concern over the possible effec...

A study was undertaken of the regeneration of three activated carbons exhausted with ortho-chlorophenol. The regeneration process was carried out using liquid water at 623 K and 150 atm in the absence of oxygen. The efficiency of this procedure was analyzed by determining the rate and amount of ortho-chlorophenol adsorbed in successive adsorption-regeneration cycles. The present procedure showe...

Phenol and it derivatives are considered as one of the priority pollutants in waste water, because they are harmful to organisms even at very low concentrations. The control as well as removal of these organic compounds has become an important issue due to stringent measures introduced by various countries to enforce regulations concerning wastes originating from various industries. Hence, wast...

The effects of the presence of copper on the photooxidation of phenol and 4-chlorophenol and of the presence of the phenols on the recovery of copper by electrodeposition are studied in three systems: a photolytic cell in the presence and absence of TiO2 as a catalyst or H2O2 as an oxidant; an electrolytic cell and a combined photolytic-electrolytic system. The optimum system for the simultaneo...

Vacuum ultraviolet single-photon ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (VUV-SPI-TOFMS) has been applied for the detection of chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, and o-chlorophenol as surrogates for polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxine/furans (PCDD/F). The photoionization mass spectra of these compounds appear to be fragmentation free in the ionization processes by the VUV-SPI at 10.2 eV (121.6...
