Macroscopically homogeneous mixture of two or more different species of polymer [3,4], Note 1 See the Gold Book, p. 312 [3]. 

A short synonym for a colloidal system. (Gold Book online, 1972 entry [2].)... 

State of subdivision, implying that the molecules or polymolecular particles dispersed in a medium have at least in one direction a dimension roughly between 1 nm and 1 pm, or that in a system discontinuities are found at distances of that order. (Gold Book online, 1972 entry [2].)... 

Note The Gold Book entry has notes which define an /-functional branch point and a junction point, both of which are explicitly defined in the present document. 

Small region in a macromolecule from which at least four chains emanate and which is formed by reactions involving sites or groups on existing macromolecules or by interaetions between existing macromolecules. (Definition 1.59 in [1] and Gold Book online, 1996 entry [2].)... 

Sedimentation of a solid material (a precipitate) from a liquid solution in which the material is present in amounts greater than its solubility in the liquid. (Gold Book online, 1990 entry [2].)... 

Uncatalysed cleavage of one or more covalent bonds resulting from exposure of a compound to a raised temperature, or a process in which such cleavage is an essential part. (Gold Book online, 1994 entry [2].) See also pyrolysis.

The recent TUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology—The Gold Book recommends that the name of compounds having the structure R2N—O" R2N +—0 is more appropriately that of aminoxyl radicals . The synonymous terms nitroxyl radical or nitroxide are accordingly not desirable, even though quite popular in various fields of science and technology. This chapter follows a previous chapter of the series and, for this historical reason, retains the old terminology of the compounds in the title, but this use will be discontinued from now on in the text.

To assist the states, the USEPA has created a general set of water quality standards that includes criteria for 137 pollutants. This information is provided in the USEPA report Quality Criteria for Water 1986, also known as the Gold Book. When applying standards to source dischargers, the NPDES...

Project Prospect endeavors to use and build acceptance of standards for chemical information by using the International Chemical Identifiers (InChls) created by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as a way to provide a nonproprietary way to make chemical information more machine-readable. To illustrate the potential of this in the simplest way, an InChl for benzene (i.e., InChI=l/ C6H6/cl-2-4-6-5-3-l/hl-6H) was pasted into a Google search bar (www.google. com), this resulted in 37 hits in the fall of 2007 and over 1,000 hits 6 months later in the spring of 2008. The top hits were directed at the IUPAC Gold Book as shown in Figure 1.1.

Specifically, the criteria for a successful procedure are five-fold. First, the metals must be removed to or below levels acceptable from an environmental standpoint. Second, the target elements must be separated and recovered in sufficient purity (> 95%) and yield (> 95%) to make it economically feasible to return them to commercial use rather than storing them as hazardous waste. Third, the process should use operating chemicals that are readily available, inexpensive, and pose minimal environmental hazard. Fourth, in its operation the process should result in a significant volume reduction and add no undesirable ions to the system. Finally, the process should be inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and easy to operate. The MRT separation system achieved high metal recovery and product purities as indicated in Table 3. Effluent water quality met the EPA Gold Book specifications...
