Oils are mixtures of mixed esters with different fatty acids distributed among the ester molecules. Generally, identification of specific esters is not attempted instead the oils are characterized by analysis of the fatty acid composition (8,9). The principal methods have been gas—Hquid and high performance Hquid chromatographic separation of the methyl esters of the fatty acids obtained by transesterification of the oils. Mass spectrometry and nmr are used to identify the individual esters. It has been reported that the free fatty acids obtained by hydrolysis can be separated with equal accuracy by high performance Hquid chromatography (10). A review of the identification and deterrnination of the various mixed triglycerides is available (11). 

A man was asked to clean a 45-m tank that had contained toluene. It was 20 ft (6 m) tall and 10 ft (3 m) diameter. It had not been gas-freed, and the atmosphere had apparently not been tested. He entered the tank through the 16-in.-diameter top opening, using a rope for descent. Self-contained breathing apparatus was available on the job, but he did not wear it. He was overcome by tbe vapor and lack of air and collapsed on the floor of the tank. 

Trimolecular reactions (also referred to as termolecular) involve elementary reactions where three distinct chemical entities combine to form an activated complex Trimolecular processes are usually third order, but the reverse relationship is not necessarily true. AU truly trior termolecular reactions studied so far have been gas-phase processes. Even so, these reactions are very rare in the gas-phase. They should be very unhkely in solution due, in part, to the relatively slow-rate of diffusion in solutions. See Molecularity Order Transition-State Theory Collision Theory Elementary Reactions... 

More success has been achieved with fluorinated analogues of (61).2,94,95 For example, beryllium bistrifluoroacetylacetone (62) has been gas-chromatographed in a procedure for determining traces of beryllium down to 4 x 10-4 g in 10-100 mg samples of lunar dust and rock.96... 

Between January 18 and March 10, 1972, two architects responsible for the design and construction of the crematoria in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Walter Dejaco and Fritz Ertl, were put on trial in Vienna, Austria.84 During the trial, an expert report on the possible interpretation of the blueprints of the alleged gas chambers of the Auschwitz and Birkenau crematoria was presented to the court. The report concluded that the rooms in question could not have been gas chambers, nor could they have been converted into gas chambers.85 Thanks to this first methodologically sound expert report on Auschwitz, the defendants were acquitted. 

The engineers Nowak and Rademacher have shown that the gas-tight doors manufactured at Auschwitz by inmates from wooden planks could not have been gas-tight in a technical sense, the planks did not close hermetically, the fittings were simply fastened through the wood by means of bolts, and the seals consisted of felt strips.212...

Because of the extensive use of theophylline for the treatment of bronchial asthma and other cardiorespiratory disorders, many investigations have been carried out by means of gas chromatography to determine theophylline in serum, plasma and saliva. In many cases theophylline has been gas chromatographed as such, in some other cases after derivatization. Methyl derivatives15,16 17,18, n-butyl derivatives19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26, propyl derivatives27, pentyl derivatives and pentafluorobenzyl derivatives 3 have been made in order to obtain better gas chromatographic properties of theophylline and thus better detection possibilities. A number of stationary phases have been applied, from non-polar ones (SE-30) to very polar ones (HI-EFF 8B). OV-17 is the stationary phase that has mostly been used. 

Gas chromatographic methods have been developed to solve this problem. Theophylline has been gas chromatographed and determined as such, but in most cases derivatization has been carried out to obtain better gas chromatographic properties and better detection possibilities. For quantitative work several substances have been used as internal standard, mainly barbiturates (alphenal, amobarbital, aprobarbital, heptabarbital, hexabarbital, thiobarbital), but also other substances have been used (fluoranthene, codeine, theobromine, medazepam, pramoxine hydrochloride, cyheptamine, probenecid propylester). Recently 3-isobutyl-1-methyl... 

One of the most important and general trends in organic chemistry is the increase in carbocation stability with additional alkyl substitution. This stability relationship is fundamental to understanding many aspects of reactivity, especially of nucleophilic substitution. In recent years, it has become possible to put the stabilization effect on a quantitative basis. One approach has been gas phase measurements which determine the proton affinity of alkenes leading to carbocation formation. From these data, the hydride affinity of the carbocation can be obtained. 

CoupiGd Pyrolysis Techniques. Perhaps the most powerful techniques currently available are those in which the polymer is pyrolyzed for a short time in a pyrolysis system directly coupled to a modem analytical instmment capable of analysis of the volatile products. Although direct pyrolysis coupled with ftir is available, the most common techniques have been gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and combinations of the two. In contrast to tga, these techniques provide no real information on the onset temperature of degradation or on the number of distinct stages, but they can give very detailed information about the products of reaction. 

Halogen, phosphorus, antimony and metal oxide flame retardants and organo-silicon are attracted one s attention. Effective additives are required to impart fire retardancy to polymeric materials used in a variety of applications. Traditionally, these have been gas-phase active additives, most commonly, oiganohalogen... 

Investigations of the species to be found in the vapours and mists from vulcanization have been mainly confined to the last ten years, and the current understanding can be attributed largely to laboratory studies. An essential ingredient of much of this work has been gas clu-omatog-raphy with on-line mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and the development of vulcanization techniques which can most effectively exploit this instrumentation has been described and reviewed.The gas transfer mould already described (Figs 10 and 11) represents the latest stage in the evolution of these techniques. ... 

Desulfurize the flue gas. A whole range of processes have been developed to remove SO, from flue gases, such as injection of limestone into the furnace, absorption into wet limestone after the furnace, absorption into aqueous potassium sulfite after the furnace, and many others.However, the byproducts from many of these desulfurization processes cause major disposal problems. 

Some techniques have been described that are based on the concept of flame ionization used in gas chromatography. The results are generally unsatisfactory because it is necessary to evaporate the solvent prior to introducing the mixture into the detector. 

Some attempts, not yet very convincing, have been made to extend the field of application to gas oils by heating the column. 

The enthalpy of pure hydrocarbons In the ideal gas state has been fitted to a fifth order polynomial equation of temperature. The corresponding is a polynomial of the fourth order ... 

For example, in the case of light Arabian crude (Table 8.16), the sulfur content of the heavy gasoline, a potential feedstock for a catalytic reforming unit, is of 0.036 weight per cent while the maximum permissible sulfur content for maintaining catalyst service life is 1 ppm. It is therefore necessary to plan for a desulfurization pretreatment unit. Likewise, the sulfur content of the gas oil cut is 1.39% while the finished diesel motor fuel specification has been set for a maximum limit of 0.2% and 0.05% in 1996 (French specifications).
