The Biogeochemical laboratory of the USSR Academy of Sciences was organized in 1928 and V. Vernadsky was the head of this laboratory until his death in 1945. The scientific program of the laboratory on the quantitative determination of living organisms chemical composition was started in the 1930s. This program has received a new impetus in the second part of the 20 century in many countries of the World. 

Differentiation between dissolved, macromolecular colloidal and particulate is arbitrary and based on our difficulties in retrieving samples (Cauwet, Chapter 4). Information concerning the detailed organic chemical composition of suspended material is only recently developing with the application of deep-sea collection techniques for particulate material (S. Honjo, J. Farrington and coworkers. Woods Hole, Mass., U.S.A. Wakeham et al., 1980). 

The use of NIR spectra on sediment samples to predict certain constituents from calibration models is, by itself, one important development taking advantage of the speed and low cost of the method. This approach, though, only utilises a small proportion of the information on the organic chemical composition contained in the MR spectra. One alternative, then, is to use the whole NIR spectra as a fingerprint , which can be used to evaluate the variation in sediment composition both in time and space. The total variation represented by several hundred absorbance values can normally be compressed to less then 10 latent variables , components, by different multivariate statistical methods. Similar approaches are used in the process industry where hundred or thousand of signals, used to monitor the performance of some production process, are compressed to a finger print and followed over time. 

A more direct verification of tube/reptation features was possible with systems where the soHd matrix and the mobile polymer chains confined to nanopores are of similar organic chemical composition. In the experiments referred to in the following, Hnear polymers were confined in a solid, that is strongly cross-linked, polymer environment. Under such conditions, the geometry effect can be expected to dominate whereas the wall adsorption phenomenon is of neghgible influence. 

Essential is also used as the adjective form of the noun essence The mixtures of substances that make up the fragrant material of plants are called essential oils because they contain the essence that is the odor of the plant The study of the composition of essential oils ranks as one of the oldest areas of organic chemical research Very often the principal volatile component of an essential oil belongs to a class of chemical sub stances called the terpenes... 

Chemical composition data for CPM and FPM for a variety of locations are summarized in Table 5. These data illustrate several important points. First, the distributions of the PM q between CPM and FPM vary from about 0.4 to 0.7. Second, the ratio of PM q to TSP varies from 0.58 to 0.79. In general, both this ratio and the ratio of FPM to PM q tend to be higher at mral sites, but Bermuda, because of the large influence of sea salt in the CPM, is an exception. Sulfate (SO ), carbon (as organic carbon, OC, and elemental carbon, EC), and nitrate (NO3 ) compounds generally account for 70—80% of the FPM. In the eastern United States, compounds are the dominant species, although very Httie is emitted directiy into the atmosphere. Thus... 

The main commercial source of methane, ethane, and propane is natural gas, which is found ia many areas of the world ia porous reservoirs they are associated either with cmde oil (associated gas) or ia gas reservoirs ia which no oil is present (nonassociated gas). These gases are basic raw materials for the organic chemical industry as well as sources of energy. The composition of natural gas varies widely but the principal hydrocarbon usually is methane (see Gas, natural). Compositions of typical natural gases are Hsted ia Table 2. 

These chemical composition requirements pertain only to the cuprous oxide powder and do not include requirements for the organic vehicle in which the cuprous oxide is suspended, when appHed in paste form. 

Antioxidants are used to retard the reaction of organic materials with atmospheric oxygen. Such reaction can cause degradation of the mechanical, aesthetic, and electrical properties of polymers loss of flavor and development of rancidity ia foods and an iacrease ia the viscosity, acidity, and formation of iasolubles ia lubricants. The need for antioxidants depends upon the chemical composition of the substrate and the conditions of exposure. Relatively high concentrations of antioxidants are used to stabilize polymers such as natural mbber and polyunsaturated oils. Saturated polymers have greater oxidative stabiUty and require relatively low concentrations of stabilizers. Specialized antioxidants which have been commercialized meet the needs of the iadustry by extending the useflil Hves of the many substrates produced under anticipated conditions of exposure. The sales of antioxidants ia the United States were approximately 730 million ia 1990 (1,2). 

Asphalt is not an exact chemical composition but rather a mixture of organic compounds whose nature is dependent on many items (see Asphalt). 

Clay particles are so finely divided that clay properties are often controlled by the surface properties of the minerals rather than by bulk chemical composition. Particle size, size distribution, and shape the nature and amount of both mineral and organic impurities soluble materials, nature, and amount of exchangeable ions and degree of crystal perfection are all known to affect the properties of clays profoundly.
