Alkyl derivatives of MEA are used in the production of surfactants, dyes, in the manufacture of drugs as a buffer substance and for the stabilization of emulsions, in the manufacture of herbicides, cosmetics, antihistamines, are also of practical interest [1]. It is widely known also as useful “acid” gases (H2S, CO2, SO2, etc.) as absorbents in the process of cleaning process for gases in oil r...

Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are the primary causes of acid rain. In the United States, about two thirds of all sulfur dioxide and one-quarter of all nitrogen oxides come from electric power generation that relies on burning fossil fuels like coal. Acid rain occurs when these gases react in the atmosphere with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form various acidic compounds. These acid...

A possibility of photocatalytic production of useful aliphatic hydrocarbons and H2 from various organic compounds, including acetic acid, methanol, ethanol and glucose, over Fe-modified TiO2 is discussed. In particular, the influence of the reaction atmosphere (N2, air) was investigated. Different gases were identified in the headspace volume of the reactor depending on the substrate. In genera...

in natural gas treatment, the removal of co2 and h2s in acid gases is a critical concern. there are various purification technologies that can be used for the removal of acid gas impurities. absorption of acid gas into amines is one preferred method in gas industries. in the past, single amines was used, but recently in order to improve absorption performance, mixed amines with different solubi...

Use of amine solutions for the removal of acid gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas is the most common method, and, in this process, operational problems because of foaming are reported. Foaming can lead to the entrainment of liquid into downstream process equipment and might result in a situation in which the process specification...

Nitrous oxide, xenon, and cyclopropane are anesthetic gases that have a distinct pharmacological profile. Whereas the molecular basis for their anesthetic actions remains unclear, they behave very differently to most other general anesthetics in that they have little or no effect on GABAA receptors, yet strongly inhibit the N-methyl-d-aspartate subtype of glutamate receptors. Here we show that ...

The potential of microalgae as renewable energy feedstock for biofuel production is well recognized in developing countries and it is a large source of biomass for capturing CO2 on non-arable lands. In the current studies photobioreactor with 2 L capacity was used and operated with generator exhaust gases for algal CO2 sequestration. The reactor operated on generator exhaust gases with CO2 rang...

BACKGROUND: CO2-pneumoperitoneum used in endoscopic surgery induces system effects by CO2 absorption. This study investigated the effect of the addition of O2 to CO2-pneumoperitoneum, upon CO2 absorption. METHODS: The effect of a pneumoperitoneum using 100% CO2 or 94% CO2 6% O2 upon arterial blood gases, acid base and O2 homeostasis was evaluated. In series A suboptimal ventilation and a pneumo...
