Background: Fritillaria imperialis is an endangered species with pharmaceutical alkaloids that can be effective in reducing blood pressure and reducing cardiac palpitations.   Objective: Comparison of head space solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and hydro-distillation (HD) techniques in determination of essential oils in Fritillaria imperialis Methods: Quality and quantity determination o...

In this communication, a thermodynamic model is presented to predict the dissociation conditions of structure H (sH) clathrate hydrates with methane as help gas. This approach is an extension of the Klauda and Sandler fugacity model (2000) for prediction of phase boundaries of sI and sII clathrate hydrates. The phase behavior of the water and hydrocarbon system is modeled using the Peng-Robinso...

Natural and synthetic hydrocarbon mixtures are complex samples containing hundreds of different aliphatic and aromatic components in widely differing concentrations. The number of components depends on a group-type composition and the range and distribution of boiling points of the components present in the mixture . Hydrocarbon mixtures are characterised in two ways, by structural group analys...

Air quality models that generate the concentrations of semi-volatile and other condensable organic compounds using an explicit reaction mechanism require estimates of the vapour pressures of the organic compounds that partition between the aerosol and gas phases. The model of Griffin, Kleeman and co-workers (e.g., Griffin et al., 2005) assumes that aerosol particles consist of an aqueous phase,...

Lifetimes of complexes formed during helium-hydrocarbon collisions at low temperature are estimated for symmetric-top hydrocarbons. The lifetimes are obtained using a density-of-states approach. In general the lifetimes are less than 10–100 ns and are found to decrease with increasing hydrocarbon size. This suggests that clustering will not limit precision spectroscopy in helium-buffer-gas expe...

The modern world could not exist without hydrocarbons. Virtually everything we touch is either coated with or made up primarily of hydrocarbon products. Organic chemistry originated during the Industrial Revolution, evolving largely due to advances in coal tar technology. In the coking process, bituminous (soft) coal is heated to liberate coal gas. This gas contains volatile hydrocarbons that c...

For the successful implementation of catalysts in industrial processes, three overall goals are optimized: activity, selectivity, and stability. This review will address role chemical descriptors aiding guiding development optimal zeolite catalyst designs with above performance criteria mind. It focus on both gas-phase liquid-phase catalysis a special methanol to hydrocarbon, biomass valorizati...

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is a major global prevalent issue in the petroleum sector. This research focuses on evaluating biodegradation of three Gram-negative bacilli, isolated from cowpea planted soil, contaminated with kerosene. The Gram negative bacilli strains have been characterized and identified, using MicrobactTM ID24E systems for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and c...

The discovery of hydrocarbons (mainly gas) in commercial quantities from Gondwanan sediments in the Mandapeta ®eld of Krishna-Godavari Basin, India, provided impetus for intensi®ed exploration in Mandapeta and the adjoining Kommugudem, Draksharama and Endamuru ®elds. Both oil and gas have been found in the reservoirs of Mandapeta (Triassic) and Golapalli (Early Cretaceous) formations. Mature, l...
