This work aims at providing experimental and theoretical information about the water–perfluorocarbon molecular interactions. For that purpose, experimental solubility results for water in cyclic and aromatic perfluorocarbons (PFCs), over the temperature range between (288.15 and 318.15) K, and at atmospheric pressure, were obtained and are presented. From the experimental solubility dependence ...

The extraction and determination of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids as well as their influence on the aromaticity and molecularity relationship of natural organic matter (NOM) in water are reported in this study. Three solid phase extraction (SPE) sorbents were used and their extraction efficiencies evaluated after chromatographic determinations (using gas chromatography with a time of ...

removal of typical contaminants like aromatic amines (e.g. 1-naphthalen amine, diphenyl amine, aniline, 2 and 6-dimethyl pyridine) from water during one-stage process is a method to purify water wherein organic contaminants get extracted from water by bentonite. in this study the effects of ph, stirring time, stirring speed, bentonite mass and bentonite size (mesh) were investigated. also, the ...

Steam distillation is used to isolate scent of rose flowers. Rose aromatic water is commonly used in European cuisine and aromatherapy besides its use in cosmetic industry for its lovely scent. In this study, three different sampling techniques, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), headspace technique (HS), and solid phase extraction (SPE), were compared for the analysis of volatile water-soluble co...

The reversed-phase chromatographic behavior of planar and non-planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is investigated on tetraphenylporphyrin and two metallotetraphenylporphyrin [Sn(IV), In(III)] bonded stationary phases using methanol-water and acetonitrile-water as mixed solvent mobile phases. Large differences in the capacity factors of aromatic solute pairs having the same number of ...

The present paper provides results of a study on heterotrophic bacteria occurrence and quantity in the biofilm and subsurface water of lake Jeziorak Maty. Degradation of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH's) (anthracene, naphthalene) by neustonic and planktonic bacteria have been examined. It has been discovered that some aromatic hydrocarbons were better decomposed by neustonic bact...

a solid-phase extraction (spe) method for sample clean-up and preconcentration followed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-hplc) with uv detection is reported for determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in the caspian seawater. a good resolution was obtained using acetonitrile:water (40:60) as mobile-phase for separation of these compounds. the effect ...

knowledge of transport and degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) is important in assessing pah contamination of soils and water resources. the transport of naphthalene, anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene was determined in a contaminated calcareous soil obtained from the shadegan wetland (khozestan, iran) considering a column study in laboratory conditions. the pahs were added ...

polyethylene glycol was easily grafted to silica gel and used as a solid–liquid phase transfer catalyst in the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. this silica-grafted polyethylene glycol is proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding aromatic amines with zinc powder in water. the reduction reactions proceeded efficiently with excellen...

It is known that many potent, often aromatic drugs are water insoluble, which has hampered their use for disease treatment. In this work, we functionalized nanographene oxide (NGO), a novel graphitic material, with branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) to obtain a biocompatible NGO-PEG conjugate stable in various biological solutions, and used them for attaching hydrophobic aromatic molecules incl...
