Extraction of microamounts of strontium by a nitrobenzene solution of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H+B-) in the presence of dibenzo-30-crown-10 (DB30C10, L) has been investigated. The equilibrium data have been explained assuming that the species HL+, SrL2+, SrHL3+ and SrHL3+2 are extracted into the organic phase. The values of extraction and stability constants of the cationic complexes in n...

Extraction of microamounts of strontium by a nitrobenzene solution of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H+B-) in the presence of N,N,N´,N´-tetracyclohexyl-oxybis(o-phenyleneoxy)diacetamide (abbrev. barium ionophore I, L) has been investigated. The equilibrium date have been explained assuming that the species HL+, SrL2+ and SrL2+2 are extracted into the organic phase. The values of extraction and ...

We demonstrate the use of X-ray reflectivity to probe the electron density profile normal to the interface between two polar liquids. Measurements of the interfacial width at the neat nitrobenzene/water and the neat water/2-heptanone interfaces are presented. These widths are consistent with predictions from capillary wave theory that describe thermal interfacial fluctuations determined by the ...

Improved spectral measurements of the narrow spike in the high resolution hyper-Rayleigh light scattering spectrum for deuterated liquid nitrobenzene (C(6)D(5)NO(2)) doped with triflic acid (CF(3)SO(3)H) determined that the reorientation time for the dopant-induced polar domains is 2.9 micros in the dilute limit. Two models based on ions dissolved in nitrobenzene fit the measured spectral broad...

Extraction of microamounts of cesium by a nitrobenzene solution of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H+B-) in the presence of 2,3-naphtho-15-crown-5 (N15C5, L) has been investigated. The equilibrium data have been explained assuming that the complexes HL+, HL+2, CsL+ and CsL+2 are extracted into the organic phase. The values of extraction and stability constants of the species in nitrobenzene satu...

A rare fatal case of self-poisoning with nitrobenzene following oral ingestion is reported. On presentation to the hospital, severe methemoglobinemia (70%) was observed in an 82-year-old male who had ingested 250 mL of an unknown substance in the previous 24 h. Methylene blue and exchange transfusion were the therapeutic methods applied in the treatment of the methemoglobinemia. Forty-eight hou...

From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium NH4+(aq) + NaL+ (nb) <-> NH4L+(nb) + Na+ (aq) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (L = beauvericin; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as log Kex (NH4+, NaL+) = 1.5 ± 0.1. Further, the stability constant of the NH4L+ complex in water-satur...

An explosion in a petrochemical plant in Jilin in the northeast of China on 13 November 2005 was responsible for the discharge of large quantities of benzene and nitrobenzene into Songhua River. This endangered the water supply of Harbin city and influenced the daily life for millions of people. The dispersion-advection equation was solved analytically and numerically and used to simulate the c...

From extraction experiments and gamma-activity measurements, the extraction constan corresponding to the equilibrium NH4(+)(aq) + 1*Na(+)(nb) <=> 1*NH4(+)(nb) + Na(+)(aq) taking place in the two-phase water - nitrobenzene system (1 = dibenzo-18-crown-6, aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as log K(ex) (NH4(+),1*Na(+)) = -0.1 +/- 0.1. Further, the stability constant of the...

Extraction of microamounts of barium by a nitrobenzene solution of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H+B-) in the presence of Slovafol 909 (L) has been investigated.
