Although unified chromatography still has to find its own applications niche, it has been already used for the analysis of a wide variety of samples from aromatic hydrocarbons, styrene, esters, phthalates, crude oil, amines, household wax, pesticides in vegetable oils and many others [11,14-16]. Its major application in the near future will certainly be centered in the analysis of complex samples such as environmental samples, biological fluids, forensic chemistry, and so forth. In this case, there is a need for more than one separation mode because the sample might contain volatile, semi-... 

The oxidation of aromatic hydrocarbons (styrene and benzene) was carried out in the thermostated glass reactor with magnetic stirring in the presence or absence of the solvent (acetonitrile). The reaction temperature and time were 343K and 24h, respectively. The molar ratio of hydrocarbon /solvent/ hydrogen peroxide was 1/-/3 for benzene and 1/1.8/3. After reaction, the catalyst was separated by centrifugation and the oxidation products were chromatographically analyzed. 

Modifeation of alumina surfaee to enhance selective adsorption of particular compounds is an area of rapid development. The activated alumina surface contains a range of surface sites differing in their chemical structure and reactivity. Modification of the surface to contain a greater proportions of surface fuctionalities that enhance the desired separtion or reaction which reducing undesired sites, is a powerful tool in the design of selective adsorption process. In the present study the modification of alumina surface is effected by treatment with acid and base to enhance the adsorption of an antioxidant (tert-butyl catechol) from aromatic hydrocarbon (styrene). 

Ethylbenzene (eth-il-BEN-zeen) is a colorless flammable liquid with a pleasant aromatic odor. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon, that is, a compound consisting of carbon and hydrogen only with a molecular structure similar to that of benzene (C6H6). In 3004 it ranked fifteenth among chemicals produced in the United States. Its primary use is in the manufacture of another aromatic hydrocarbon, styrene (C6HSCH=CH2), widely used to make a number of polymers, such as polystyrene, styrene-butadiene latex, SBR rubber, and ABS rubber. 

Flammable liquids may undergo a chemical reaction called polymerization, in which a large number of simple molecules, called monomers, combine to form long-chained molecule called a polymer. This process is used under controlled conditions to create plastics (see Fignre 5.17). AUcene hydrocarbon compounds and hydrocarbon derivatives, such as aldehydes, alkyl halides, and esters, and the aromatic hydrocarbon styrene may nndergo polymerization. There are other monomers that are flammable and can polymerize, but their primary hazard is poison. Monomers can be flammable liquids, flammable gases, and poisons. 

Like all other aromatic hydrocarbons, styrene is an irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes and is narcotic at high concentrations. Exposure to its vapors may cause drowsiness, nausea, headache, fatigues, and dizziness in humans (Hamilton and Hardy 1974). Inhalation of 10,000 ppm for 30-60 minutes may be fatal to humans.

V, Cr, and Mn ions were the most active. V-MCM-41 catalyst, with a better structural pattern, showed a better conversion in the oxidation of ethyl benzene and diphenyl methane than Ti- and Cr-MCM-41 catalysts [80]. The catalytic activity of MCM-41 modified with V, Co, Nb, and La was evidenced in the oxidation with H2O2 of alcohok (hexanol, cyclohexanol, and hexanediol) and aromatic hydrocarbons (styrene, benzene, and toluene). The effect of synthesis method on catalytic properties was evidenced for all of them [35,79]. 

Benzene was first isolated by Faraday in 1825 from the liquid condensed by compressing oil gas. It is the lightest fraction obtained from the distillation of the coal-tar hydrocarbons, but most benzene is now manufactured from suitable petroleum fractions by dehydrogenation (54%) and dealkylation processes. Its principal industrial use is as a starting point for other chemicals, particularly ethylbenzene, cumene, cyclohexane, styrene (45%), phenol (20%), and Nylon (17%) precursors.

This type of analysis requires several chromatographic columns and detectors. Hydrocarbons are measured with the aid of a flame ionization detector FID, while the other gases are analyzed using a katharometer. A large number of combinations of columns is possible considering the commutations between columns and, potentially, backflushing of the carrier gas. As an example, the hydrocarbons can be separated by a column packed with silicone or alumina while O2, N2 and CO will require a molecular sieve column. H2S is a special case because this gas is fixed irreversibly on a number of chromatographic supports. Its separation can be achieved on certain kinds of supports such as Porapak which are styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. This type of phase is also used to analyze CO2 and water.

Aqueous mineral acids react with BF to yield the hydrates of BF or the hydroxyfluoroboric acids, fluoroboric acid, or boric acid. Solution in aqueous alkali gives the soluble salts of the hydroxyfluoroboric acids, fluoroboric acids, or boric acid. Boron trifluoride, slightly soluble in many organic solvents including saturated hydrocarbons (qv), halogenated hydrocarbons, and aromatic compounds, easily polymerizes unsaturated compounds such as butylenes (qv), styrene (qv), or vinyl esters, as well as easily cleaved cycHc molecules such as tetrahydrofuran (see Furan derivatives). Other molecules containing electron-donating atoms such as O, S, N, P, etc, eg, alcohols, acids, amines, phosphines, and ethers, may dissolve BF to produce soluble adducts. 

Hydrocarbon resins (qv) are prepared by copolymerization of vinyltoluene, styrene, and a-methylstyrene in the presence of a Eriedel-Crafts catalyst (AlCl ). These resins are compatible with wax and ethylene—vinyl acetate copolymer (197). 

The first resins to be produced on a commercial scale were the coumarone—indene or coal-tar resins (1) production in the United States was started before 1920. These resins were dominant until the development of petroleum resins, which were estabHshed as important raw materials by the mid-1940s. Continued development of petroleum-based resins has led to a wide variety of aHphatic, cyclodiene, and aromatic hydrocarbon-based resins. The principal components of petroleum resins are based on piperylenes, dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), styrene, indene, and their respective alkylated derivatives. 

G-5—G-9 Aromatic Modified Aliphatic Petroleum Resins. Compatibihty with base polymers is an essential aspect of hydrocarbon resins in whatever appHcation they are used. As an example, piperylene—2-methyl-2-butene based resins are substantially inadequate in enhancing the tack of 1,3-butadiene—styrene based random and block copolymers in pressure sensitive adhesive appHcations. The copolymerization of a-methylstyrene with piperylenes effectively enhances the tack properties of styrene—butadiene copolymers and styrene—isoprene copolymers in adhesive appHcations (40,41). Introduction of aromaticity into hydrocarbon resins serves to increase the solubiHty parameter of resins, resulting in improved compatibiHty with base polymers. However, the nature of the aromatic monomer also serves as a handle for molecular weight and softening point control. 

G-9 Aromatic Petroleum Resins. Feedstocks typically used for aromatic petroleum resin synthesis boil in the approximate range of 100—300°C at atmospheric pressure, with most boiling in the 130—200°C range. The C-9 designation actually includes styrene (C-8) through C-10 hydrocarbons (eg, methylindene). Many of the polymerizable monomers identified in Table 1 for coumarone—indene type cmdes from coal tar are also present in aromatic fractions from cracked petroleum distillates. Therefore, the technology developed for the polymerization of coal-tar cmdes is also appHcable to petroleum-derived aromatic feedstocks. In addition to availabiHty, aromatic petroleum resins offer several advantages over coumarone—indene resins. These include improved color and odor, as weU as uv and thermal stabiHty (46). 

Elastomers. Elastomers are polymers or copolymers of hydrocarbons (see Elastomers, synthetic Rubber, natural). Natural mbber is essentially polyisoprene, whereas the most common synthetic mbber is a styrene—butadiene copolymer. Moreover, nearly all synthetic mbber is reinforced with carbon black, itself produced by partial oxidation of heavy hydrocarbons. Table 10 gives U.S. elastomer production for 1991. The two most important elastomers, styrene—butadiene mbber (qv) and polybutadiene mbber, are used primarily in automobile tires. 

Anionic polymerization of vinyl monomers can be effected with a variety of organometaUic compounds alkyllithium compounds are the most useful class (1,33—35). A variety of simple alkyllithium compounds are available commercially. Most simple alkyllithium compounds are soluble in hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane and cyclohexane and they can be prepared by reaction of the corresponding alkyl chlorides with lithium metal. Methyllithium [917-54-4] and phenyllithium [591-51-5] are available in diethyl ether and cyclohexane—ether solutions, respectively, because they are not soluble in hydrocarbon solvents vinyllithium [917-57-7] and allyllithium [3052-45-7] are also insoluble in hydrocarbon solutions and can only be prepared in ether solutions (38,39). Hydrocarbon-soluble alkyllithium initiators are used directiy to initiate polymerization of styrene and diene monomers quantitatively one unique aspect of hthium-based initiators in hydrocarbon solution is that elastomeric polydienes with high 1,4-microstmcture are obtained (1,24,33—37). Certain alkyllithium compounds can be purified by recrystallization (ethyllithium), sublimation (ethyllithium, /-butyUithium [594-19-4] isopropyllithium [2417-93-8] or distillation (j -butyUithium) (40,41). Unfortunately, / -butyUithium is noncrystaUine and too high boiling to be purified by distiUation (38). Since methyllithium and phenyllithium are crystalline soUds which are insoluble in hydrocarbon solution, they can be precipitated into these solutions and then redissolved in appropriate polar solvents (42,43). OrganometaUic compounds of other alkaU metals are insoluble in hydrocarbon solution and possess negligible vapor pressures as expected for salt-like compounds. 

AlkyUithium compounds are primarily used as initiators for polymerizations of styrenes and dienes (52). These initiators are too reactive for alkyl methacrylates and vinylpyridines. / -ButyUithium [109-72-8] is used commercially to initiate anionic homopolymerization and copolymerization of butadiene, isoprene, and styrene with linear and branched stmctures. Because of the high degree of association (hexameric), -butyIUthium-initiated polymerizations are often effected at elevated temperatures (>50° C) to increase the rate of initiation relative to propagation and thus to obtain polymers with narrower molecular weight distributions (53). Hydrocarbon solutions of this initiator are quite stable at room temperature for extended periods of time the rate of decomposition per month is 0.06% at 20°C (39). 

GopolymeriZation Initiators. The copolymerization of styrene and dienes in hydrocarbon solution with alkyUithium initiators produces a tapered block copolymer stmcture because of the large differences in monomer reactivity ratios for styrene (r < 0.1) and dienes (r > 10) (1,33,34). In order to obtain random copolymers of styrene and dienes, it is necessary to either add small amounts of a Lewis base such as tetrahydrofuran or an alkaU metal alkoxide (MtOR, where Mt = Na, K, Rb, or Cs). In contrast to Lewis bases which promote formation of undesirable vinyl microstmcture in diene polymerizations (57), the addition of small amounts of an alkaU metal alkoxide such as potassium amyloxide ([ROK]/[Li] = 0.08) is sufficient to promote random copolymerization of styrene and diene without producing significant increases in the amount of vinyl microstmcture (58,59). 

Aromatic radical anions, such as lithium naphthalene or sodium naphthalene, are efficient difunctional initiators (eqs. 6,7) (3,20,64). However, the necessity of using polar solvents for their formation and use limits their utility for diene polymerization, since the unique abiUty of lithium to provide high 1,4-polydiene microstmcture is lost in polar media (1,33,34,57,63,64). Consequentiy, a significant research challenge has been to discover a hydrocarbon-soluble dilithium initiator which would initiate the polymerization of styrene and diene monomers to form monomodal a, CO-dianionic polymers at rates which are faster or comparable to the rates of polymerization, ie, to form narrow molecular weight distribution polymers (61,65,66). 

Other Organolithium Compounds. Organoddithium compounds have utiHty in anionic polymerization of butadiene and styrene. The lithium chain ends can then be converted to useflil functional groups, eg, carboxyl, hydroxyl, etc (139). Lewis bases are requHed for solubdity in hydrocarbon solvents. 

Some of the most difficult heterophase systems to characterize are those based on hydrocarbon polymers such as mbber-toughened polypropylene or other blends of mbbers and polyolefins. Eecause of its selectivity, RuO staining has been found to be usehil in these cases (221,222,230). Also, OsO staining of the amorphous blend components has been reported after sorption of double-bond-containing molecules such as 1,7-octadiene (231) or styrene (232). In these cases, the solvent is preferentially sorbed into the amorphous phase, and the reaction with OsO renders contrast between the phases. 

Other high molecular weight hydrocarbon polymers are not biodegradable, but oligomers of <7j -l,4-isoprene (83), butadiene (84), and styrene (85), are degradable. And there has been further confirmation of biodegradation of oligomeric ethylene (86). 

During this early period, a very ingenious free-radical route to polyesters was used to introduce weak linkages into the backbones of hydrocarbon polymers and render them susceptible to bio degradabihty (128—131). Copolymerization of ketene acetals with vinyl monomers incorporates an ester linkage into the polymer backbone by rearrangement of the ketene acetal radical as illustrated in equation 13. The ester is a potential site for biological attack. The chemistry has been demonstrated with ethylene (128—131), acryhc acid (132), and styrene (133).
