Naturally occurring trace gases, examples

As one more common example of liquid fuels present reference may be drawn to liquified petroleum gas (LPG) or bottled gas or refinery gas. This fuel is obtained as a by-product during the cracking of heavy oils or from natural gas. It is dehydrated, desulfurized and traces of odours organic sulfides (mercaptans) are added in order to identify whether a gas leak has occurred. Supply of LPG is carried out under pressure in containers under different trade names. It consists of hydrocarbons of great volatility such that they can occur in the gaseous state under atmospheric pressure, but are readily liquifiable under high pressures. The principal constituents of LPG are n-butane, iso-butane, butylene and propane,... [Pg.106]

Choosing a method to determine isotope effects on rate constants, and selecting a particular set of techniques and instrumentation, will very much depend on the rate and kind of reaction to be studied, (i.e. does the reaction occur in the gas, liquid, or solid phase , is it 1st or 2nd order , fast or slow , very fast or very slow , etc.), as well as on the kind and position of the isotopic label, the level of enrichment (which may vary from trace amounts, through natural abundance, to full isotopic substitution). Also, does the isotopic substitution employ stable isotopes or radioactive ones, etc. With such a variety of possibilities it is useless to attempt to generate methods that apply to all reactions. Instead we will resort to discussing a few examples of commonly encountered strategies used to study kinetic isotope effects. [Pg.203]
