Two colorimetric methods are recommended for boron analysis. One is the curcumin method, where the sample is acidified and evaporated after addition of curcumin reagent. A red product called rosocyanine remains it is dissolved in 95 wt % ethanol and measured photometrically. Nitrate concentrations >20 mg/L interfere with this method. Another colorimetric method is based upon the reaction between boron and carminic acid in concentrated sulfuric acid to form a bluish-red or blue product. Boron concentrations can also be deterrnined by atomic absorption spectroscopy with a nitrous oxide—acetjiene flame or graphite furnace. Atomic emission with an argon plasma source can also be used for boron measurement. 

The solubility coefficient S is used as a measure of water solubility. It is the ratio between the concentrations in water and air phases at equilibrium. Ethanol, a very soluble gas, has a solubility coefficient of 1 100 at, 37 C while the coefficient for nitrous oxide, a poorly soluble gas, is 0.1.5.

The first use of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) as an extraction technique was reported by Zosel [379]. Since then there have been many reports on the use of SFE to extract PCBs, phenols, PAHs, and other organic compounds from particulate matter, soils and sediments [362, 363, 380-389]. The attraction of SFE as an extraction technique is directly related to the unique properties of the supercritical fluid [390]. Supercritical fluids, which have been used, have low viscosities, high diffusion coefficients, and low flammabilities, which are all clearly superior to the organic solvents normally used. Carbon dioxide (C02, [362,363]) is the most common supercritical fluid used for SFE, since it is inexpensive and has a low critical temperature (31.3 °C) and pressure (72.2 bar). Other less commonly used fluids include nitrous oxide (N20), ammonia, fluoro-form, methane, pentane, methanol, ethanol, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), and dichlorofluoromethane [362, 363, 391]. Most of these fluids are clearly less attractive as solvents in terms of toxicity or as environmentally benign chemicals. Commercial SFE systems are available, but some workers have also made inexpensive modular systems [390]. 

Drugs may be solid at room temperature (eg, aspirin, atropine), liquid (eg, nicotine, ethanol), or gaseous (eg, nitrous oxide). These factors often determine the best route of administration. The most common routes of administration are described in Chapter 3. The various classes of organic compounds—carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and their constituents—are all represented in pharmacology. 

Some dense inorganic membranes made of metals and metal oxides are oxygen specific. Notable ones include silver, zirconia stabilized by yttria or calcia, lead oxide, perovskite-type oxides and some mixed oxides such as yttria stabilized titania-zirconia. Their usage as a membrane reactor is profiled in Table 8.4 for a number of reactions decomposition of carbon dioxide to form carbon monoxide and oxygen, oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen and nitrous oxide, oxidation of methane to syngas and oxidative coupling of methane to form C2 hydrocarbons, and oxidation of other hydrocarbons such as ethylene, methanol, ethanol, propylene and butene.

Ethanol from cellulose represents an enormous opportunity to make a transportation fuel that is an alternative to gasoline. Development of such a fuel is motivated by 1) an increased cleanliness of automobile exhaust, with decreased levels of carbon monoxide and nitrous oxides, 2) a need for a fuel that does not contribute to an increase in the Greenhouse effect, 3) the desire to decrease the dependence of the United States on imported petroleum, and 4) the possibility of creating wealth in regions where cellulose is a prevalent natural resource. 

Unsupported two-component oxide systems were used by Stroud in 1975 [169]. In their composition, the first component was preferably molybdenum oxide and the second cupric oxide (i.e., Mo03- CuO). The reaction conditions were 20 bar and 485°C, and the yield was 490 g/kg-cat/hr of oxygenated products, including methanol, formaldehyde, ethanol, and acetaldehyde. The work by Stroud used oxygen as the oxidant. Liu et al. [170] used nitrous oxide as the oxidant at 1 bar over the 1.7% Mo/Si02 catalyst. A combined selectivity of 84.6% towards methanol and formaldehyde was obtained with a conversion of 8.1%. They also used a different catalytic system of 1.7% Mo03 supported on Cab-O-SilM-5 silica. Their kinetic study obtained a power law rate expression of the Arrhenius plot for CH4 concentration was... 

Base A (22). The reaction is carried out in a is absorption apparatus as described by Traube (23). Thirty grams of cuscohygrine and a solution of 9.5 g. of sodium in 400 cc. of absolute ethanol are introduced into the apparatus and the air is swept out with hydrogen. The nitric oxide (free from water vapor and nitrogen dioxide) which is first introduced is reduced to nitrous oxide, and this is allowed to escape. When all the nitrous oxide has escaped the system is closed and the reaction mixture is cooled in an ice-water bath to maintain the temperature at 10-15°. At the outset the gas is rapidly absorbed (1 liter per minute) under vigorous agitation, but as the reaction proceeds the... 

This direct conversion of benzene to phenol is of great practical importance [58c]. The surface oxygen radical anion, 0 , formed through a reaction of N7O with electrons trapped on the surface of MgO, reacts with methane at 298 K [59], The partial oxidation of ethane to ethanol and acetaldehyde over iron phosphate catalyst (573-773 K) by using nitrous oxide as an oxidant has been reported [60],... 

Flame emission has traditionally been performed with total consumption burners. However, it has recently been shown that the premix burner, with a nitrous oxide head, is an excellent source for flame emission measurements, and is in many cases superior. In Figure 26, a flame emission scan is shown for aluminum in ethanol, with a premix nitrous oxide burner as a source.
