Carbon matter

This chemistry has been investigated and implemented for wastewater minerahza-tion by oxidizing the organic pollutants. The process is very efficient, not selective and, as a consequence, almost all carbon matter can be removed. Topical areas also include soil and aquifer treatments, sometimes in combination with a secondary biotic process [145]. 

The different types of grain can be related to specific classes of stellar objects. The very hot and bright, even lavish Wolf-Rayet stars are considered to be one of the most favourable sites for grain formation, for their strong stellar winds are particularly rich in carbon. Matter thrown out by supernovas and cooling very quickly due to its expansion is also an excellent scenario for grain formation. Elements with any affinity for the solid state are likely to be abundantly transformed. 

The adsorbents produced by the latter two methods are the most interesting from either a practical or cognitive view-point. The processes of carbon matter formation from organic substances are in generally very complex, and depend on many factors [20]. The most general picture of the carburization process can be presented by the following scheme of the cracking of hydrocarbons [21] ... 

It is obvious that chemical composition of carbon deposit depends not only on the conditions in which pyrolysis is carried out but also on the chemical composition of carbonized organic substances on the surface of the solid carrier. As a result, carbon matter deposited on the surface of mineral carrier, besides C and H, can contain heteroatoms (S,N,0). The problem was discussed in the paper [2]. Similarly, the morphological composition depends on the conditions in which carbonization reaction is carried out. Gierak and Leboda showed [22], that it was possible to obtain graphitized carbon deposit of good mechanical properties under very mild conditions. The obtained adsorbents are applicable in chromatography in separation of polar substance mixtures [22,23]. 

The method of adsorption sites topography regulation discussed here does not permit to prepare the adsorbents of random type topography due to a poor transformation of alcohols into carbon matter. Another noteworthy type of reaction consists in the decomposition of methylene chloride on the surface of mineral adsorbents [35,36] ... 

Remember Identify radicals as I , 2 , or 3 by the radical carbon. None of the other carbons matter. Two hyperconjugation pictures may be drawn for l-mcthylpropyl radical, one with two C-H bonds over-... 

In the carbon cycle, animals and plants use carbon dioxide from the air to produce glucose, which they use in respiration and other life processes. Animals consume plants, use what they can of the carbon matter and excrete the rest as waste. This waste decays into carbon dioxide. During respiration, plants and animals release carbon dioxide back into the air. The carbon used by plants and animals stays in their bodies until death, after which decay sends the organic compounds back into the Earth and carbon dioxide back into the air. 

The presented values show that hydrophilic character of both carbons increases within particles towards the particle centre, i.e. with the decrease in burn-off of the carbon matter. RN active carbon had a considerably higher content of surface groups than AG active carbon which may be related to both its lower burn-off on one side and the type of raw material (peat) used for its production. Thus, using two independent experimental methods it has been shown that the character of surface within active carbon particles may be a function of its radial position. 

In principle, the carbonated matter is used as a nutrient by aerobic germs, and it is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, whereas species such as nitrite and nitrate are used as food by, for example, nitrobacteria. In an oxygen-deficient environment, such as sewer or stale water, bacteria take oxygen not only from nitrates and nitrites, but also from sulfates, with sulfur hydrogen as residual product. These oxidation phenomena that take place in nature are very difficult to reproduce on a laboratory scale. However, some tests (e.g., biochemical oxygen demand, BOD) allow a biological appreciation of the phenomena, although there are some inherent problems, which will be discussed later.
