Polyhydric Alcohols. (Polyols). An alcohol with three or more hydroxyl groups, each attached to a different carbon atom. They are w-sol and of sweetish taste, which tends to intensify with increasing hydroxyl content. Examples of polyols of ordn interest are listed below. Polyvinyl alcohol is considered in a separate entry as a polymer although it is defined as a polyhydric alcohol. Polyols, when nitrated, make excellent expls, proplnt binders, plasticizers, etc. Prepn can follow the procedure of Lenth DuPuis (Ref 3) which uses a methanol suspension of either sucrose or dextrose and a special Cu-Al oxide catalyst to yield 60-65% distillable polyols at 240° and 1500psi Refs 1) Beil — refs found under individual compds 2) CA, under Alcohols, Polyhydric for compds of current ordn interest 3) C.W.

The large amounts of natural gas (mainly methane) found worldwide have led to extentive research programs in the area of the direct conversion of methane [1-3]. Ihe oxidative transformation of methane (OTM) is an important route for the effective utilization of the abundant natural gas resources. How to increase catalyst activity is a common problem on the activation of methane. The oxidation of methane over transition m al oxides is always high active, but its main product is CO2, namely the product of deep oxidation. It is because transition metal oxides have high oxidative activity. So, they were usually used as the main corrqtonent of catalysts for the conqilete oxidation of alkane[4]. The strong oxidative activity of CH4 over tran on metal oxides such as NiO indicates that the activation of C-H bond over transition metal oxides is much easier than that over alkaline earth metal oxides and rare earth metal oxides. Furthermore, the activation of C-H bond is the key step of OTM reaction. It is the reason that we use transition metal oxides as the mam conq>onent of the OTM catalysts. However, we have to reahze that the selectivity of OTM over transition metal oxides is poor. 

The force constants obtained for sulphoxides and sulphones are about 7 x 10 and 10 X 10 dyne cm respectively The values of the force constants for sulphoxides are very similar to those of the N—O bond in pyridine Al-oxides in which the k values are approximately 6-7 x 10 dynecm ... 

Phosphorus (P) is one of the major limiting factors for plant growth in many soils. Plant availability of inorganic phosphorus (Pi) can be limited by formation of sparingly soluble Ca phosphates, particularly in alkaline and calcareous soils by adsorption to Fe- and Al-oxide surfaces in acid soils and by formation of Fe/ Al-P complexes with humic acids (94). Phosphorus deficiency can significantly alter the composition of root exudates in a way that is, at least in some plant species, related to an increased ability for mobilization of sparingly soluble P sources (29,31,71). 

Since most trace elements in soils are at parts per million levels, a separate compound may be not formed. Most likely, trace amounts of these trace elements and their compounds are adsorbed on the surfaces of clay minerals and various crystalline and amorphous Fe/Mn/Al oxides and hydroxides. Curtin and Smillie (1983) reported that the solubilities of Mn2+ and Zn2+ in limed soils were not consistent with the solubilities of any... 

Exchangeable ions (EXC), sometimes including ions nonspecifically adsorbed and specifically absorbed on the surface of various soil components, such as carbonate, organic matter, Fe, Mn, Si, and Al oxides, and clay minerals. This part is controlled by adsorption-desorption processes. 

Metal sorption on Fe/Al oxides is an inner sphere complexion. The formation of a surface-metal bond releases protons for every metal ion adsorbed. Heavy metal sorbed on Fe oxides can be exchanged only by other metal cations having a similar affinity or by H (McBride, 1989). Metal adsorption on Fe oxides is an initial rapid adsorption reaction, followed by slow diffusion (Barrow et al., 1989). Metal ions (Ni2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) slowly... 

Boron is adsorbed on Fe/Al oxides (goethite and gibbsite) via an inner-sphere mechanism with shifts in zero point of charge (Goldberg et al., 1993). Boron adsorption on Fe/Al oxides increases from pH 3 to 6,... 

Woolson et al. (1971) used a modified soil P procedure to study distribution of As in U.S. soils. The mass of the residual As in both uncontaminated and soils contaminated with arsenic pesticides from Washington and Oregon is found as the Fe oxide bound As (0.1 N NaOH extractable), followed by the Al oxide and the Ca bound As (extracted by NH4F and H2S04, respectively). 

The bioavailability of trace elements in soil-water-plant ecosystems of arid zones is largely determined by their partitioning between solution and solid-phase components. The redistribution and transformation of trace elements among solid-phase components under various biogeochemical conditions strongly adjust their lability and bioavailability. Soluble, exchangeable and organically bound forms are bioavailable to plants. The carbonate bound fraction represents a reservoir of potentially bio-available trace elements to plants. In paddy soils, the amorphous Fe/Al oxide fraction contributes to trace element availability as well.
