Acidic emissions, producing

Some of the investigations carried out in the first half of the twentieth century were related to CL associated with thermal decomposition of aromatic cyclic peroxides [75, 76] and the extremely low-level ultraviolet emission produced in different reaction systems such as neutralization and redox reactions involving oxidants (permanganate, halogens, and chromic acid in combination with oxalates, glucose, or bisulfite) [77], In this period some papers appeared in which the bright luminescence emitted when alkali metals were exposed to oxygen was reported. The phenomenon was described for derivatives of zinc [78], boron [79], and sodium, potassium, and aluminum [80]. 

The OH(/42L + ) has been seen in the vacuum ultraviolet photolysis of water, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric acid. The OH(.4 214) emission produced from OH(A"2n) by light absorption has been extensively used to measure OH( A2n> reaction rates [for example, Stuhl and Niki (951)]. 

Ethanol is decomposed to form ether and ethylene on the alumina catalyst. Formaldehyde and formic acid are produced by the catalytic oxidation of ethanol in an atmosphere containing oxygen. In the course of this catalytic oxidation on a certain kind of catalyst, the excited HCHO is produced and the CTL emission is observed in its relaxation process. 

Aeetie acid is produced photoehemieally mainly from reactions of the peroxy acetyl radical (CH3CO3) wifli oflier peroxy radieals. For example, the reaction of CH3CO3 with HO2 is known to lead to about 20% CH3C(0)OH (Tyndall et al, 2001). Aeetie acid in the gas phase is also produced by reaction of ozone with various olefins like propene, butene or pentene (Atkinson and Arey, 2003). A total photochemical source strength of 120 Tg/year has been reported (Baboukas et al, 2000). The contribution of direct emissions from anthropogenie (biomass eombustion, motor exhaust) and biogenie (bacteria metabolisms, emission from soil and vegetation) sourees is estimated at 48 Tg/year (Chebbi and Carlier, 1996). 

If the incineration is efficient, plastics are claimed to produce no more serious emissions than incineration of any other material. For example, dioxins can be produced by inefficient incineration of many different materials, and there is no evidence that combustion of PVC makes any significant addition to acidic emissions. Modern computer-controlled furnaces ensure steady operating temperatures above 850C (I560F), giving high levels of total combustion. Studies show that at least two...

The OPA reagent was first reported in 1971 by Roth as a postcolimm fluorogenic reagent for amines [5] and has been widely used for the sensitive determination of primary amino compounds. However, the fluorescent derivatives are not sufficiently stable, and it is sometimes difficult to obtain reproducible results using the postcolumn derivatization system. A precolumn derivatization technique has also been developed using OPA in the presence of alkylthiol compounds such as 2-mercaptoethanol. OPA rapidly reacts with primary amino compounds within 2 min at room temperature, and the derivatives can be separated by reversed-phase liquid chromatography [20]. Fluorescence detection of the derivatives is performed at 440 nm (emission wavelength) with excitation at 330 nm. Because OPA does not react with secondary amino compounds, proline and hydroxyproline can not be determined by this method. Replacement of 2-mercaptoethanol with other thiols, such as 2-ethanethiol [21] and 3-mercaptopropionic acid [22], produced more stable fluorescent derivatives.
