Nonylphenols atmospheres

Phenols. Phenolic compounds are used in very large quantities for a variety of industrial purposes. They may also be formed in the environment by abiotic (e.g., hydroxylation in the atmosphere see Chapter 16) or biological processes (Chapter 17). A prominent example for the latter case is the formation of 4-nonylphenol from the microbial...

A variety of aluminate spinels MAI2O4 (M = Co, Ni, Cu) have been synthesized by Meyer etal. [319] via microemulsions. Non-ionic, nonylphenol-poly[(n)glycol ether] type surfactants (n = 7, 10, 15), i.e. the Tergitol series TNP-7, TNP-10 and TNP-35 were used with octan-l-ol as a co-surfactant. The oil phase was cyclohexane or n-heptane, while the aqueous phase was pure water. The individual microemulsions produced out of the above constituents were added dropwise under dry nitrogen atmosphere to isopropyl or tert-butyl alcohol solutions of the relevant heterobimetallic alkoxides to effect precipitation through hydrolysis.
