Oxidation product mastic

Typical constituents found in dammar and mastic resins. Scalarone, 2005 These are major components alongside many minor ones. Compounds a, b, and c are major components of dammar, b, c, and d are found in both resins, while e and f are found in mastic but not in dammar so can be used as markers for its presence, g and h are polymers found in small quantities in dammar and mastic respectively, i is a typical oxidation product of dammar and mastic. 

There are some facts to support a theory that effective quenching gases can be formed from the high temperature reaction products of the mastic, as, for example, hydrochloric acid and antimony oxide to form antimony oxychloride. The Department of the Army, Office of Quartermaster General (1), reports that combination of antimony oxide and hydrochloric acid at flame temperatures is more efficient in extinguishing a fire than either component alone. 

Completion of the reaction by transfer of a proton from the solvent to the carbanion will then give a product (3a -f- 3b) of composition corresponding to thermodynamic equilibrium of the anionic species. That this approximates closely to an equilibrated mixture of the alcohols has been confirmed by subjecting some steroid alcohols to equilibration with alkoxide ions, under conditions sufficiently Mastic to allow thermodynamic equilibrium to be attained through a reversible oxidation/reduction process. Reduction of steroidal 20 ketones is of considerable interest in providing a mixture of epimers, each present in considerable proportion. The reduced mixture contains a modest preponderance of the 20a-epimer [34], although recent experiments [34M] confirm indications from molecular models that the 20/ -alcohol is the more stable. Further work is needed to clarifythis situation (see alsop. 139). 

In sulfuric acid production, acid brick lining of membrane coated mild steel tanks and reaction vessels is considered the most durable and versatile construction material for the sulfuric acid plant. Such linings wiil reduce the steel shell temperature and prevent erosion of the normally protective iron sulfate film that forms in stagnant, concentrated (oxidizing) sulfuric acid. Dilute (red uC ing) sulfuric acid solutions are very corrosive to carbon steel, which must be protected by impermeable (e.g., elastomeric) membranes and acid brick lining systems. Such acid brick linings often employ membranes comprising a thin film of Teflon or Kynar sandwiched between layers of asphalt mastic. 

The addition of a stable free radical (product of the oxidation of 2,2,4-trimethyl-6-ethoxy-l,2-dihydroquinoline) to rubbers prior to mastication permitted the use of ESR in studying the rubber mastication process at near ambient temperature. The radical concentration has been determined in this way after a various number of masticator passes [115, 116]. 

Radical acceptors have been widely used and studied in elastomer mastication [24, 26, 33-40]. This is because of their practical importance to the rubber industry. The effect of acceptors depends on mastication conditions. In the presence of air at elevated temperatures, radical acceptors can reduce mastication efficiency by retarding oxidation (Fig. 3.37) [26]. In a nitrogen atmosphere, radical acceptors increase the mastication efficiency by suppressing the branching and recombination reactions. Their efficiency depends on their reactivity toward the macroradicals (see Fig. 3.5). As expected, the most active radical acceptor is oxygen (see the difference between curves at 55°C in air and in nitrogen plus benzoquinone in Fig. 3.38). The reactivity of radical acceptors towards macroradicals also determines the gel content of the products [26, 33]. 

Sulfur modification improves the breakdown of the rubber during mastication, permitting the production of low-viscosity compounds with good building tack. Only zinc oxide and magnesium oxide are needed for vulcanization. In many cases...
