When compounds with acidic hydrogen atoms are placed in D2O, the acidic hydrogens exchange with deuterium. Sometimes, a drop of acid or base catalyst is required, but frequently the exchange occurs spontaneously. The catalyst, however, allows a faster approach to equilibrium, a process that can require anywhere from several minutes to an hour or more. Acids, phenols, alcohols, and amines are the functional groups that exchange most readily. Basic catalysis works best for acids and phenols, while acidic catalysis is most effective for alcohols and amines.

Mixtures of acetic acid and water might be expected to show three peaks, since there are two distinct types of hydroxyl groups in the solutions—one on acetic acid and one on water. In addition, the methyl group on acetic acid should give an absorption peak. In actuality, however, mixtures of these two reagents produce only two peaks. The methyl peak occurs at its normal position in the mixture, but there is only a single hydroxyl peak between the hydroxyl positions of the pure substances. Apparently, exchange of the type 

Samples of ethanol and water show a similar type of behavior, except that at low concentration of water in ethanol ( 1%) both peaks are still often observed. As the amount of water is increased, however, the rate of exchange increases, and the peaks coalesce into the single averaged peak.

D2O can be used as a solvent for NMR, and it is useful for highly polar compounds that do not dissolve well in the standard organic NMR solvents. For instance, some carboxylic acids are difficult to dissolve in CDCI3. A basic solution of NaOD in D2O is easily produced by adding a small chip of sodium metal to D2O. This solution readily dissolves carboxylic acids since it converts them to water-soluble (D20-soluble) sodium carboxylate salts. The peak due to the hydrogen of the carboxyl group is lost, and a new HOD peak appears.

Pulsed beds of ac tivated carbon are used in water and wastewater treatment systems. The adsorber tank is usually a vertical cylindrical pressure vessel, with fluid distributors at top and bottom, similar to the arrangement of an ion exchanger. The column is filled with granular carbon. Fluid flow is upward, and carbon is intermittently dis-... 

Sephadex. Other carbohydrate matrices such as Sephadex (based on dextran) have more uniform particle sizes. Their advantages over the celluloses include faster and more reproducible flow rates and they can be used directly without removal of fines . Sephadex, which can also be obtained in a variety of ion-exchange forms (see Table 15) consists of beads of a cross-linked dextran gel which swells in water and aqueous salt solutions. The smaller the bead size, the higher the resolution that is possible but the slower the flow rate. Typical applications of Sephadex gels are the fractionation of mixtures of polypeptides, proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and for desalting solutions.

Tinned copper and copper alloys Copper itself has a fair corrosion resistance but traces of copper salts are often troublesome and a tin coating offers a convenient means of preventing their formation. Thus copper wire to receive rubber insulation is tinned to preserve the copper from sulphide tarnish and the rubber from copper-catalysed oxidation, and also to keep the wire easily solderable. Vessels to contain water or foodstuffs, including cooking vessels, water-heaters and heat exchangers, may all be tinned to avoid copper contamination accompanied by possible catalysis of the oxidation of such products as milk, and discolouration in the form of, for example, green stains in water and food. 

A very simple and elegant alternative to the use of ion-exchange columns or extraction to separate the mixture of D-amino add amide and the L-amino add has been elaborated. Addition of one equivalent of benzaldehyde (with respect to die D-amino add amide) to the enzymic hydrolysate results in the formation of a Schiff base with die D-amino add amide, which is insoluble in water and, therefore, can be easily separated. Add hydrolysis (H2SQ4, HX, HNO3, etc.) results in the formation of die D-amino add (without racemizadon). Alternatively the D-amino add amide can be hydrolysed by cell-preparations of Rhodococcus erythropolis. This biocatalyst lacks stereoselectivity. This option is very useful for amino adds which are highly soluble in die neutralised reaction mixture obtained after acid hydrolysis of the amide. 

The influence of substituents on the solvolysis of benzenediazonium ions in water and in TFE is very similar. This fact suggested that the mechanism is the same in both solvents. Exchange of 3-15N-labeled 4-methoxy- and 2,4,6-trimethyl-benzene-... 

The low efficiency of exchange in water can be explained by postulating that the ion-molecule pair (8.13 in Scheme 8-10) is almost completely trapped by water molecules, i.e., the first intermediate reacts so easily with this more strongly nucleophilic species that the reaction of the second intermediate (8.14) with N2 is not detectable. Therefore, the reaction coordinate diagrams for the dediazoniation in TFE and in water may be visualized as shown in Figure 8-4. 

Methyl parathion is only slightly soluble in pH 7 water (55-60 ppm). This affects its mobility in water and its ability to be leached or solubilized into the water phase of a soil-water system. Factors most likely to affect the adsorption of methyl parathion in soil are organic matter content and cation exchange capacity. In soils of low organic matter (e.g., subsurface soils), calcium concentration, which affects the hardness of the water, may also be important (Reddy and Gambrell 1987). Several studies have shown... 

Cohen et have also made some observations on the exchange in water-sucrose and water-ethylene glycol mixed solvents containing perchloric acid (0.106 M). Over a range of dielectric constant 68 to 88, no alteration in the exchange rate was observed.
