Decompositional environment

The ultimate fate of the oxygen-centered radicals generated from alkyl hydroperoxides depends on the decomposition environment. In vinyl monomers, hydroperoxides can be used as efficient sources of free radicals because vinyl monomers generally are efficient radical scavengers which effectively suppress induced decomposition. When induced decomposition occurs, the hydroperoxide is decomposed with no net increase of radicals in the system (see eqs. 8, 9, and 10). Hydroperoxides usually are not effective free-radical initiators since radical-induced decompositions significantly decrease the efficiency of radical generation. Thermal decomposition-rate studies in dilute solutions show that alkyl hydroperoxides have 10-h HLTs of 133—172°C. [Pg.104]

Because sulfuric acid and halogen are very corrosive, selection of the structural materials is an important issue. Screening tests have been carried out using test pieces of commercially available materials at GA [29], JAEA [30,31], etc. As for the gas-phase environment of the H2S04 decomposition step, some refractory alloys that have been used in conventional chemical plants showed good corrosion resistance. Figure 4.13 shows one of the experimental results of Alloys 800 and —600 obtained under gas-phase sulfuric acid decomposition environments at 850°C. Gas compositions in the upstream and downstream... [Pg.141]

Silver oxalate is a colourless, crystalline substance which on heating undergoes an exothermic decomposition. The reaction begins at a little over 100 °C and easily becomes explosive. It was noticed quite early that samples prepared in the presence of an excess of oxalate were less stable thermally than those prepared using stoichiometric amounts of oxalate and silver ions. The thermal decomposition of silver oxalate into silver and C02 has subsequently been studied under varying conditions of preparation, decomposition environment and preirradiation.258,259... [Pg.809]

Avila and Goff 1998), submersed in water, hanged, or buried. Each of these circumstances alters the decompositional environment in some way and defines the environment within which carrion-related organisms will interact. [Pg.113]

The terrestrial environment has been much studied as a decomposition environment for materials of little forensic value, such as leaf litter or dead roots. These provide the basic methods and framework for studying and understanding decomposition of materials in soils. It is only in recent years that this has been applied to forensic taphonomy, in which studies have been conducted with mammalian tissues and cadavers. The burial environment is a complex and dynamic system of interdependent chemical, physical, and biological processes. These processes influence, and are influenced by, the inclusion of a body and its subsequent decay. Though this book deals with what is known in this context, much still remains to be discovered, understood, and applied to forensic science. [Pg.365]

Beginning with the work of Tenny and Waksman (1929), smdies of detrital processing have often emphasized the importance of the climate of the decomposition environment. In developing their generalized conceptual decomposition model (Figure 24), Lavelle et al. (1993) recognized that the temperature and moisture regimes usually exert the dominant control on decay. [Pg.4160]

Polytetrafluoroethylene resins are very stable at their normal use temperature range (<260°C). They exhibit a small degree of degradation at higher temperatures. The rate of decomposition is a function of the specific polymer, temperature, time at temperature, and, to some extent, on the pressure and nature of decomposition environment. In actual processing, degradation is tracked by indirect measurement of mo-... [Pg.47]
