Sonoelectrochemistry has been employed in a number of fields such as in electroplating for the achievement of deposits and films of higher density and superior quality, in the deposition of conducting polymers, in the generation of highly active metal particles and in electroanalysis. Furtlienuore, the sonolysis of water to produce hydroxyl radicals can be exploited to initiate radical reactions in aqueous solutions coupled to electrode reactions. 

The reaction of aqueous solutions of bromine with amino acids plays an important role in water quality control processes (refs. 1,2) and in the defense of the organisms against infection (refs. 3-5). 

Abstract Hazardous effects of various amines, produced in the environment from the partial degradation of azo dyes and amino acids, adversely affect the quality of human life through water, soil and air pollution and therefore needed to be degraded. A number of such studies are already available in the literature, with or without the use of ultrasound, which have been summarized briefly. The sono-chemical degradation of amines and in the combination with a photocatalyst, TiC>2 has also been discussed. Similar such degradation studies for ethylamine (EA), aniline (A), diphenylamine (DPA) and naphthylamine (NA) in the presence of ultrasound, Ti02 and rare earths (REs) La, Pr, Nd, Sm and Gd, in aqueous solutions at 20 kHz and 250 W power have been carried out and reported, to examine the combinatorial efficacy of ultrasound in the presence of a photocatalyst and rare earth ions with reactive f-electrons. 

The rate of adsorption from dilute aqueous solutions by solid adsorbents (zeolites) is a highly significant factor for applications of this process for water quality control.

The liquids to be studied in this experiment are water, hexane, n-octanol and aqueous solutions of CTAB. It is recommended that they be measured in the order written, where the most critical with respect to contamination is first. The water used should be the best available, such as double distilled, and should be stored in a sealed flask before use. Pure samples of the other liquids should also be used as well as top-quality water to make up the CTAB solutions. The CTAB solutions should be measured at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1 and 10 mM at a temperature above 21°C. CTAB has a Krafft temperature around 20°C - below this temperature the surfactant will precipitate from aqueous solution at the higher concentrations (see later). 

In order to estimate how the bioavailability of benzo(a)pyrene (BP) is affected by DOM, you want to assess the speciation of this compound as a function of DOM quantity and quality. To this end, calculate the fw value of BP for aqueous solutions (pH 7, 25°C) containing (a) 10 mg DOC-L"1 and 100 mg DOC-L"1, respectively, and (b) assuming DOM qualities as reflected by the LFERs 1 and 7 in Fig. 9.16 (see figure caption for slopes and intercepts). Note that DOM 1 represents a humic acid that exhibits a high affinity for PAHs, whereas DOM 7 is a fulvic acid with a low affinity. Hence, the two DOMs may represent extreme cases with respect to sorption of apolar and weakly polar compounds in natural waters. 

Into a 500-ml three-necked flask fitted with a dropping funnel, a sealed stirrer unit and reflux condenser protected by a drying tube, place a fine suspension of 40 g (lmol) of good quality sodamide (Section 4.2.67, p. 462) in about 150 ml of anhydrous xylene. Introduce 37.5 g (40 ml, 0.4 mol) of 2-methylpyridine through the dropping funnel and rinse the latter with a few ml of dry xylene. Set the stirrer in motion and add 44.5 g (50.5 ml, 0.48 mol) of butyl chloride (Expt 5.50) over a period of 1 hour reflux the mixture with stirring for 2-3 hours. When cold, destroy the excess of sodamide by the cautious addition of 100 ml of water. Transfer the contents of the flask to a separatory funnel and discard the lower aqueous layer. Extract the xylene solution with four 50 ml portions of 1 1 hydrochloric acid. Steam distil the acid extracts to remove traces of xylene, cool the aqueous solution and render strongly alka-...
