Transport Of Ozone Across An Air/Water Interface Coupled With Aqueous Decomposition, Ahmad Ali Mehrabzadeh Jan 1980

Transport Of Ozone Across An Air/Water Interface Coupled With Aqueous Decomposition, Ahmad Ali Mehrabzadeh

Dissertations and Theses

Photoacoustic spectroscopy was used to analyze the transport of ozone through the air/water interface. Experimental results showed that the ozone transport rate is similar to rates measured for other gases of low solubility and low reactivity. The transport rate increases with increasing pH. The decomposition rate of ozone was studied in solutions. The decomposition rate also depends on the pH of the solution, and in high pHs both the deposition velocity and the decomposition rate constant of ozone have larger values. The value of the deposition velocity (Kd) is 3.7 ± .9 x 10-3 cm/sec and the decomposition rate …


Surface Area Of Coal As Influenced By Low Temperature Oxidation Processes, Salvador Leon Arredondo Jan 1980

Surface Area Of Coal As Influenced By Low Temperature Oxidation Processes, Salvador Leon Arredondo

Dissertations and Theses

The possibility of increasing the amount of readily accessible surface area by enlarging the 5 A pore was examined via pretreating the PSOC-371 coal with gases such as nitrogen, nitrogen-oxygen, and ozone-oxygen and hydrogen peroxide solutions. Surface areas were obtained from nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and carbon dioxide adsorption at either 298 or 195 K for each sample before and after treatment.


A Study Of The Photolysis Of O-Methyl Podocarpinitrile Oxide, Dianne Marie Hunter Jan 1980

A Study Of The Photolysis Of O-Methyl Podocarpinitrile Oxide, Dianne Marie Hunter

Dissertations and Theses

The photolytic reaction of 0-methyl podocarpinitrile oxide to yield the δ-lactam (shown below) was studied under various conditions such as: solvent (hexane, methanol), mercury lamp wattage (lOOW, 450W), filter (Pyrex, Corex, Vycor), and additives (dichloromethane, hexafluorobenzene). The reactions were analyzed with IR, NMR and HPLC. Preparative medium pressure liquid chromatography and TLC were used in the δ-lactam isolation. The conditions resulting in the optimum yield of δ-lactam were determined. The photolytic stability of the δ-lactam under the conditions in which it was formed indicated that it was relatively stable only in hexane.
