The limit of detection by Raman spectroscopy was 3-5 weight % for the oxime ester and methacrylonitrile for these samples. The shorter time required to reduce background fluorescence in those samples filtered through activated charcoal indicates that more careful sample preparation and purification would lower this limit. 

The 2-ethylhexanamide was prepared in 86-88% yield from technical 2-ethylhexanoic acid (Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation) by a method similar to that described previously,2 except that the crude amide was filtered directly from the reaction mixture, washed well with water, and dried. The resulting product, which melted at 99-101°, was used without further purification. If the pure amide is desired, this product may be recrystallized (with 83-90% recovery) from 50% ethanol. For 100 g. of amide, 2 1. of 50% ethanol is used, and the hot solution is decolorized with charcoal. The product thus obtained is in the form of white needles which melt at 102-103°. 

Propynal (HC CCHO) ( Caution. Propynal is a lachrymator, with a foul odor. An efficient fume hood must be used. o-Phenylenediamine (1,2-benzene-diamine j is toxic, and skin contact with the solid and inhalation either as vapor Or fine dust must be avoided) is prepared by standard methods but is used without first resorting to fractional distillation. o-Phenylenediamine is crystallized from water after purification with activated charcoal and sodium dithionite at 100° the diamine is sublimed before use. We strongly emphasize the care needed in diluting the propynal and that needed in adding a solution of the diamine. 

This alternative preparation of aqua regia was used for all production runs from mid 1801 to 1808. In 1808, Wollaston reverted to his first purification process for two reasons (1) The sodium sulfate produced often formed a cake over the residual, undissolved ore and made its further processing difficult, and (2) the solution process was lengthened from 3 to 6 days, requiring expenditures on charcoal (for heating) and reaction vessels that exceeded the saving on acid costs. 

Micro adsorption cartridges, capable of fractionation, purification or enrichment can also be introduced directly into the body of a syringe, allowing sample preparation to occur during the injection [38 ]. Milligram amoimts of a material in which partition can take place (Al20g, charcoal, Florisil, Lipidex 5000, ) are sufficient to handle the ng amounts needed for high performance c.g.c. 

The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene was carried out on palladium supported on the carbon nanofibers prepared according to the preceding method without further purification and compared to a commercial palladium catalyst supported on a high surface area activated charcoal (Aldrich, 970 m /g). 

To a solution of NaOMe (5.4 g, 0.1 mol) in 2-ethoxyethanol (200 mL) was added guanidine hydrochloride (9.6 g, 0.1 mol) and 2,4-diaminopyrimidine-5-carbonitrile (13.5 g, 0.1 mol). The mixture was then stirred at reflux for 20 h. During this time NH3 was continuously evolved. The hot mixture was filtered and the crude product washed with warm H20 (100 mL). Purification was effected by recrystallization (with charcoal) from H20 (600 nlL) containing coned HC1 (20 mL). An analytical sample of the free base was prepared by adding a small amount of the product obtained (the monohydrochloride monohydrate) to NH40H and then recrystallizing the resulting product from H/> yield 68% mp > 300°C. 

Porous carbon materials are used for many applications in various industrial or domestic domains adsorption (air and water purification, filters manufacture, solvents recovery), electrochemistry (electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells), catalyst support (industrial chemistry, organic synthesis, pollutants elimination),. .. Porous carbons used at the present time are generally activated carbons, i.e. materials prepared by pyrolysis of natural sources, like fhiit pits, wood or charcoal. Pyrolysis is followed by a partial oxidation, under steam or CO2 for instance, leading to the development of the inner porosity. 

Many alkaloids may be only sparingly soluble in ether but, with the exception of pentane and hexane, their purification is more readily effected from this solvent than from any other. It is possible to prepare ether solutions of these bases of a concentration far in excess of their equilibrium value which then often yield a crystalline solid in reattaining a state of equilibrium. A supersaturated ethereal solution of these bases is readily prepared as follows The relatively dilute aqueous acid solution of the alkaloids, in a separatory funnel, is covered with a layer of ether, and a layer of water interposed between the two layers by the cautious addition of water down the side of the funnel. Aqueous ammonia is run in, in a like manner, the stopper inserted in the funnel, and the mixture shaken very vigorously. Often the more insoluble alkaloids will crystallize from the ether layer before it can be separated. In any case the wet turbid ethereal solution can be brought to brilliant clarity by treatment with charcoal. Removal of the ether leaves a residue which is now amenable to fractional crystallization from other solvents, to fractional distillation, or to salt formation. 

The certified gas is prepared by purifying namral gas taken from a medium-pressure service main. The purification is accomphshed by passing the gas over activated charcoal to remove hydrocarbons heavier than ethane, in order to improve gas stability. The processed gas, containing methane, ethane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, is then adjnsted to the desired calorific value or specific gravity before compression to 2000 psi into evacuated cyhnders. Quahty control is maintained by periodic gas analysis, and by regenerating the charcoal towers when propane breaks through. 

Many chemicals are available that can be used without further purification. Their selection is made on a trial and error basis, and even different lots from the same supplier may differ in purity. Volatile buffers and solvents such as pyridine, acetic acid, formic acid, and n-propanol, which are employed for chromatography, can be purified by distillation over ninhydrin. Constant-boiling hydrochloric acid is rountinely prepared over sodium dichromate (Schwabe and Catlin, 1974), and water of high purity is obtained from a system composed of a 0.2-fim particle filter, an activated charcoal cartridge, and two deionizer cartridges (Hydro Service and Supplies, Durham, North Carolina). The solvents are tested for purity in the following manner. A sample of the solvent is dried in vacuo. The residue is dissolved in pH 2.2 citrate buffer and injected onto the amino acid analyzer column. The distilled solvents are typically found to contain aspartic acid, serine, and glycine at 20-30 pmol/ml as the major contaminants.
