Mesoporous α-Fe2O3 thin films with large area homogeneity demonstrate tremendous potential in multiple applications. In the present work, synthesis of morphology-controlled is realized polystyrene-block-poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) diblock copolymer assisted sol-gel chemistry. The solvent category (DMF and 1,4-dioxane) polymer-to-FeCl3 ratio used for solution preparation are systematicall...

Global concern over the carcinogenic potential of 1,4-dioxane and several nitrosamines has resulted in increased interest in the development of more e" cient testing methods for these contaminants in drinking waters. In the U.S., the current methodologies recommended for the analysis of 1,4-dioxane and nitrosamines in drinking waters are Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Methods 522 and 521...

The benzyl ring of the title compound, C(17)H(15)NO(4), is twisted away from the plane defined by five atoms of the dioxane ring by 34.83 (4)°. The dioxane ring exhibits a half-boat conformation, with the C atom between the dioxane O atoms 0.571 (8) Å out of the plane through the remainder of the ring. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond may contribute to the stabilization of the planar conf...

1,4-Dioxane is a stable, clear liquid at ambient temperatures and is miscible with water. It is used primarily as a solvent for chemical processing. It has also been used as a laboratory reagent; in plastic, rubber, insecticides, and herbicides; as a chemical intermediate; as part of a polymerization catalyst; and as an extraction medium of animal and vegetable oils. 1,4-Dioxane may also be fou...

This paper denotes the importance of operational parameters for the feasibility of ozone (O3) oxidation for the treatment of wastewaters containing 1,4-dioxane. Results show that O3 process, which has formerly been considered insufficient as a sole treatment for such wastewaters, could be a viable treatment for the degradation of 1,4-dioxane at the adequate operation conditions. The treatment o...

The or-chymotrypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate has been studied at pH 7 and 25’ in isopropyl alcoholwater and dioxane-water mixtures. It was found that the initial reaction in which the enzyme is acylated follows second order kinetics rather than Michaelis-Menten kinetics as previously reported. The second order rate constant for this reaction is markedly decreased by additio...

1,4-Dioxane is an EPA priority pollutant often found in contaminated groundwaters and industrial effluents. The common techniques used for water purification are not applicable to 1,4-dioxane, and the currently used method (distillation) is laborious and expensive. This study aims to understand the degradation mechanism of 1,4-dioxane and its byproducts in dilute aqueous solution toward complet...

The water-induced aggregation behavior of rod-coil diblock copolymers based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly{(+)-2,5-bis[4'-((S)-2-methylbutoxy)phenyl]styrene} (PMBPS), PEO104-b-PMBPS53, was investigated in the common solvent THF and in the selective solvent dioxane. Before adding water, PEO104-b-PMBPS53 stayed as single polymer chains no matter what conformation the PEO block took (i.e.,...

1,4-Dioxane (CAS No. 123-91-1) is used primarily as a solvent or as a solvent stabilizer. It can cause lung, liver, and kidney damage at sufficiently high exposure levels. Two physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of 1,4-dioxane and its major metabolite, hydroxyethoxyacetic acid (HEAA), were published in 1990. These models have uncertainties and deficiencies that could be addresse...
