The rhodium complex [CpRh(bipy)Cl2] is reported (162) to act as one-half of a redox couple that, in concert with a manganese porphyrin system, catalyzes the epoxidation of olefins by dioxygen. In this two-phase system, the aqueous phase contains sodium formate, and the organic phase is a trichloroethane solution of [Mnm(tpp)]1+ and the rhodium complex (tpp = meso-tetraphenylporphyrin). Apparently, the rhodium complex catalyzes the reduction of [Mnin(tpp)]1+ by formate, and the manganese(II) species thus formed binds dioxygen and reacts with the substrate olefin to form the epoxide. However, the intermedi-... 

To improve the solubility of polyimides, Korshak and co-workers used l,l-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)-ethylene as the starting nucleophile [17] (Scheme 3.2). The resulting polymers turned out to be of relatively high molecular weight (r = 1.2-1.4 dl/g), heat resistant > 270 °C) and fire resistant (oxygen index (OI) = 36-39) (Table 3.2). Polypyromellitimide was soluble in H2SO4 only, but polyimides based on the dianhydrides of benzophenone-3,3, 4,4 -tetracarboxylic acid and diphenyloxide-3,3, 4,4 -tetracarboxylic acid were also soluble in w-cresol and a trichloroethane (TCE)/phenol (3 1) mixture. Diphenyloxide-3,3, 4,4 -tetracarboxylic acid was soluble even in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) (Scheme 3.2). 

From Equations (4.14) and (4.15), the value of the term >,75 at a fluid velocity of 30 cm/s is 1.6-1.8 x 10 2 cm/s. Based on a trichloroethane diffusion coefficient in the boundary layer of 2 x 10 5 cm2/s, this yields a boundary layer thickness of 10-15 pm. This boundary layer thickness is in the same range as values calculated for reverse osmosis with similar modules.

The name D.D.T. is derived from dichlorodiphenylfrichloroethane this is a misnomer since the name represents 27 different compounds. As commonly employed it refers to 2 2-6ts(p-chlorophenyl)-l 1 1-trichloroethane. It is conveniently prepared by the condensation of chlorobenzene and chloral hydrate in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid ... 

The principle of headspace sampling is introduced in this experiment using a mixture of methanol, chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, benzene, toluene, and p-xylene. Directions are given for evaluating the distribution coefficient for the partitioning of a volatile species between the liquid and vapor phase and for its quantitative analysis in the liquid phase. Both packed (OV-101) and capillary (5% phenyl silicone) columns were used. The GG is equipped with a flame ionization detector. 

The performance of SCWO for waste treatment has been demonstrated (15,16). In these studies, a broad number of refractory materials such as chlorinated solvents, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and pesticides were studied as a function of process parameters (17). The success of these early studies led to pilot studies which showed that chlorinated hydrocarbons, including 1,1,1-trichloroethane /7/-T5-6y,(9-chlorotoluene [95-49-8] and hexachlorocyclohexane, could be destroyed to greater than 99.99997, 99.998, and 99.9993%, respectively. In addition, no traces of organic material could be detected in the gaseous phase, which consisted of carbon dioxide and unreacted oxygen. The pilot unit had a capacity of 3 L/min of Hquid effluent and was operated for a maximum of 24 h. 

The demonstration unit was later transported to the CECOS faciHty at Niagara Falls, New York. In tests performed in 1985, approximately 3400 L of a mixed waste containing 2-chlorophenol [95-57-8] nitrobenzene [98-95-3] and 1,1,2-trichloroethane [79-00-5] were processed over 145 operating hours 2-propanol was used as a supplemental fuel the temperature was maintained at 615 to 635°C. Another 95-h test was conducted on a PCB containing transformer waste. Very high destmction efficiencies were achieved for all compounds studied (17). A later bench-scale study, conducted at Smith Kline and French Laboratories in conjunction with Modar (18), showed that simulated chemical and biological wastes, a fermentation broth, and extreme thermophilic bacteria were all completely destroyed within detection limits. 

Finally, nitromethane has been used in large quantities as a stabilizer for 1,1,1-trichloroethane. The use of this degreasing solvent is expected to decHne and disappear under the provisions of the Montreal Protocol (116), which bans ozone-depleting substances, of which this is one. 

SolubiHty of the three commercial polysulfones foUows the order PSF > PES > PPSF. At room temperature, all three of these polysulfones as weU as the vast majority of other aromatic sulfone-based polymers can be readily dissolved in a few highly polar solvents to form stable solutions. These solvents include NMP, DMAc, pyridine, and aniline. 1,1,2-Trichloroethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane are also suitable solvents but are less desirable because of their potentially harmful health effects. PSF is also readily soluble in a host of less polar solvents by virtue of its lower solubiHty parameter. 

Direct halogenation of sucrose has also been achieved using a combination of DMF—methanesulfonyl chloride (88), sulfuryl chloride—pyridine (89), carbon tetrachloride—triphenylphosphine—pyridine (90), and thionyl chloride—pyridine—1,1,2-trichloroethane (91). Treatment of sucrose with carbon tetrachloride—triphenylphosphine—pyridine at 70°C for 2 h gave 6,6 -dichloro-6,6 -dideoxysucrose in 92% yield. The greater reactivity of the 6 and 6 primary hydroxyl groups has been associated with a bulky halogenating complex formed from triphenylphosphine dihaUde ((CgH )2P=CX2) and pyridine (90). 

Addition. Chlorine adds to vinyl chloride to form 1,1,2-trichloroethane [79-00-5] (44—46). Chlorination can proceed by either an ionic or a radical path. In the Hquid phase and in the dark, 1,1,2-trichloroethane forms by an ionic path when a transition-metal catalyst such as ferric chloride [7705-08-0], FeCl, is used. The same product forms in radical reactions up to 250°C. Photochernically initiated chlorination also produces... 

Vinyl chloride reacts with ammonium chloride [12125-02-9] and oxygen in the vapor phase at 325°C over a cupric chloride [7447-39-4] CuCl, catalyst to make 1,1,2-trichloroethane and ammonia (68). 

Bitumen Soluble in Carbon Disuffide (ASTMD4). Asphalt is defined as a mixture of hydrocarbons that are completely soluble in carbon disulfide. Trichloroethylene or 1,1,1-trichloroethane have been used in recent years as safer solvents for this purpose. The procedure for these and other solvents for asphalt with Htde or no mineral matter are described in ASTM D2042. 

The next step of the UOP method of CCR regeneration is oxidation and chlorination. In this step, the catalyst is oxidized in air at about 510°C. A sufficient amount of chloride is usually added as an organic chloride, such as trichloroethane, to restore the chloride content and acid function of the catalyst to that of the fresh catalyst. If the platinum crystaUites ate smaller than about 10 nm, sufficient chlorine is present in the gas to completely tedispetse agglomerated platinum on the catalyst, as a result of the Deacon equUibtium ... 

Chlorination of various hydrocarbon feedstocks produces many usehil chlorinated solvents, intermediates, and chemical products. The chlorinated derivatives provide a primary method of upgrading the value of industrial chlorine. The principal chlorinated hydrocarbons produced industrially include chloromethane (methyl chloride), dichloromethane (methylene chloride), trichloromethane (chloroform), tetrachloromethane (carbon tetrachloride), chloroethene (vinyl chloride monomer, VCM), 1,1-dichloroethene (vinylidene chloride), 1,1,2-trichloroethene (trichloroethylene), 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethene (perchloroethylene), mono- and dichloroben2enes, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform), 1,1,2-trichloroethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride [540-59-0], EDC). 

Trichloroethylene use has declined as a result of environmental concerns. However, trichloroethylene may replace some 1,1,1-trichloroethane appHcations. Perchloroethylene used in small businesses for dry cleaning will be regulated for emissions under the same guidelines as those that govern the large chemical producers. This will cause replacement of perchloroethylene for those appHcations where recovery is uneconomical. Methylene chloride has been classified as a suspected carcinogen and its use will decline in aerosol and paint stripping appHcations because of health concerns. 

Dehydrochlorination of 1,1,2-trichloroethane [25323-89-1] produces vinyHdene chloride (1,1-dichloroethylene). Addition of hydrogen chloride to vinyHdene chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid, such as ferric chloride, generates 1,1,1-trichloroethane. Thermal chlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane is one route to commercial production of trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. 

Many chlorinated hydrocarbons react readily with aluminum in the so-caHed bleeding reaction. A red aluminum chloride—chlorinated hydrocarbon complex is formed. Storage of uninhibited chlorinated solvents in aluminum vessels results in corrosion in a short period of time. Proprietary organic inhibitors permit commercial use of reactive solvents such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane and trichloroethylene for cleaning of aluminum. 

AH volatile organic solvents are toxic to some degree. Excessive vapor inhalation of the volatile chloriaated solveats, and the central nervous system depression that results, is the greatest hazard for iadustrial use of these solvents. Proper protective equipment and operating procedures permit safe use of solvents such as methylene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene ia both cold and hot metal-cleaning operations. The toxicity of a solvent cannot be predicted from its chlorine content or chemical stmcture. For example, 1,1,1-trichloroethane is one of the least toxic metal-cleaning solvents and has a recommended threshold limit value (TLV) of 350 ppm. However, the 1,1,2-trichloroethane isomer is one of the more toxic chloriaated hydrocarboas, with a TLV of only 10 ppm.
