N-Nitrosation of a model aromatic amine (2,3-diamino-naphthalene) by the N-nitrosating agent produced by nitrite in acidic solution was inhibited by a polyphenol, chlorogenic acid, which is an ester of caffeic acid quinic acid. Caffeic acid also inhibited the N-nitrosation, but quinic acid did not. 1,2-Benzenediols and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid had inhibitory activities. Chlorogenic acid, caffe...

The purpose of this paper was to review and report the recent advances and progress that have been achieved on the fourteen year old PFGC equation of state. This paper will also discuss the good (pros) and the bad (cons) of this equation of state. Emphasis will be made on the following categories:A. Prediction of the pure component PVT properties1. Hydrocarbons in particular n-alkanes2. Selecte...

Alkanolamine solutions such as 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) are widely used in chemical industries for the removal of acid gases such as CO2 and H2S. In this work, the density of CO2, AMP, water, and AMP solutions using the Goharshadi–Morsali–Abbaspour Equation of State “GMA EoS” in the extended 50-degree range of temperatures (313.06-362.65 K) and pressures (0.5-40 MPa) was calculated. Th...

Introduction: In our series of experiments to determine the noble gases of phase Q in various classes of meteorites [1,2] we analysed the HF/HCl-resistant residue of an enstatite chondrite [3]. We have chosen the EH5 chondrite St. Mark’s because of its short cosmic-ray exposure age (~1Ma [4]) which is essential to reliably determine the He-Q and Ne-Q isotopic composition. E-chondrites might hav...

The industrial sector is increasingly obliged to reduce its energy consumption and greenhouse gases emissions contribute the world organizations’ targets in transition. An efficiency solution lies development of thermal storage systems, which are notably lacking low-temperature range (50–85 °C), for applications such as district heating or waste heat recovery. This work aims bring a latent from...

Marrocchi et al. (2005) reported that low-temperature fractions of heavy noble gases were largely removed upon pyridine treatment of the Orgueil CI meteorite. As pyridine is known to induce the swelling of the macromolecular network of organic matter, they concluded that the low-temperature phase Q is macromolecular organic carbon. However, Busemann et al. (2008) showed that pyridine had no sig...

The effect of monensin (0 or 33 mug/g of diet) upon rumen fermentation in the presence and absence of methanogenesis was determined in vitro by using mixed rumen organisms continuously cultured for 17 days. Methane was inhibited by dichloroacetamide (DCA; 32 mg/day) or by a pH of 5.1. Monensin effected a significant decrease in the ratio of acetic to propionic acid in the presence or absence of...
