Sulfation factor

Results For the St. Louis data, the target transformation analysis results for the fine fraction without July Uth and 5th are given in table 6. The presence of a motor vehicle source, a sulfur source, a soil or flyash source, a titanium source, and a zinc source are indicated. The sulfur, titanium and zinc factors were determined from the simple initial test vectors for those elements. The concentration of sulfur was not related to any other elements and represents a secondary sulfate aerosol resulting from the conversion of primary sulfur oxide emissions. Titanium was found to be associated with sulfur, calcium, iron, and barium. Rheingrover ( jt) identified the source of titanium as a paint-pigment factory located to the south of station 112. The zinc factor, associated with the elements chlorine, potassium, iron and lead, is attributed to refuse incinerator emissions. This factor could also represent particles from zinc and/or lead smelters, though a high chlorine concentration is usually associated with particles from refuse incinerators ( ). The sulfur concentration in the refined sulfate factor is consistent with that of ammonium sulfate. The calculated lead concentration in the motor vehicle factor of ten percent and a lead to bromine ratio of about 0.28 are typical of values reported in the literature (25). The concentration of lead in... 

The refined source profiles that best reproduced the coarse fraction are listed in table 7. The calculated profiles of the two crustal components follow those of Mason ( ), though the calcium concentration of 20 in the limestone factor is less than the reported value. The paint pigment profile strongly resembles that calculated for the fine-fraction data. The only major difference is that unlike the fine fraction, the coarse-fraction profile does not associate barium with the paint-pigment factor. The calculated sulfur concentration in the coarse-fraction sulfate factor is much less than that in the fine-fraction and there are sizable concentrations of elements such as aluminum, iron, and lead not found in the fine-fraction profile. The origin of this factor is not clear although as described earlier a possible explanation is that a small part of the sulfate particles in the fine fraction ended up in the coarse samples. 

The dlchloromethane-soluble fraction of POM showed a consistent association with the sulfate factor. Previous summer studies (29, 30) have Indicated correlations between this fraction and ozone. As sulfate and ozone are strongly correlated during the summer months in the northeastern part of the U.S. (31), there may be a stronger association between DCM and ozone than DCM and sulfate. As of this date, the ozone data have been obtained from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation but have not been entered into the computer files. 

Thus, with this slight qualification, both SM-C/IGF-I and IGF-II possess properties which allow them to be classified as somatomedins they show sulfation factor, insulinlike, and mitogenic activities, and they are regulated by GH. 

It is almost three decades since Salmon and Daughaday (S3) described a GH-dependent serum factor which could stimulate sulfate incorporation by cartilage in vitro, an activity apparently not inherent in GH itself. This sulfation factor was postulated to mediate the known effects of GH in vivo on skeletal growth. Subsequent studies revealed a range of GH-dependent activities in rat cartilage stimulation of sulfate and leucine uptake into glucosaminoglycans (S4), proline conversion to collagen hydroxyproline (D3), and incorporation of uridine into RNA and thymidine into DNA (Gl,...

The importance of steric factors in the formation of penetration complexes is made evident by the observation that although sodium cetyl sulfate plus cetyl alcohol gives an excellent emulsion, the use of oleyl alcohol instead of cetyl alcohol leads to very poor emulsions. As illustrated in Fig. XIV-3, the explanation may lie in the difficulty in accommodating the kinked oleyl alcohol chain in the film. 

Affinity chromatography is used in the preparation of more highly purified Factor IX concentrates (53—55) as well as in the preparation of products such as antithrombin III [9000-94-6] (56,57). Heparin [9005-49-6], a sulfated polysaccharide (58), is the ligand used most commonly in these appHcations because it possesses specific binding sites for a number of plasma proteins (59,60). 

A smaller factor in ozone depletion is the rising levels of N2O in the atmosphere from combustion and the use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers, since they ate the sources of NO in the stratosphere that can destroy ozone catalyticaHy. Another concern in the depletion of ozone layer, under study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is a proposed fleet of supersonic aircraft that can inject additional nitrogen oxides, as weU as sulfur dioxide and moisture, into the stratosphere via their exhaust gases (155). Although sulfate aerosols can suppress the amount of nitrogen oxides in the stratosphere... 

Factors such as reaction temperature, excess of oxygen, water addition, addition of other minor reactants, eg, AlCl to promote the formation of mtile, mixing conditions inside the reactor, and many others influence the quaUty of Ti02 pigment. In general, titanium white pigments produced by the chloride process exhibit better lightness than those produced by the sulfate process. 

Ammonium sulfate [7783-20-2], (NH 2 U4, is a white, soluble, crystalline salt having a formula wt of 132.14. The crystals have a rhombic stmcture d is 1.769. An important factor in the crystallization of ammonium sulfate is the sensitivity of its crystal habit and size to the presence of other components in the crystallizing solution. If heated in a closed system ammonium sulfate melts at 513 2° C (14) if heated in an open system, the salt begins to decompose at 100°C, giving ammonia and ammonium bisulfate [7803-63-6], NH HSO, which melts at 146.9°C. Above 300°C, decomposition becomes more extensive giving sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, water, and nitrogen, in addition to ammonia.

Cure Characteristics. Methods of natural rubber production and raw material properties vary from factory to factory and area to area. Consequentiy, the cure characteristics of natural mbber can vary, even within a particular grade. Factors such as maturation, method and pH of coagulation, preservatives, dry mbber content and viscosity-stabilizing agents, eg, hydroxylamine-neutral sulfate, influence the cure characteristics of natural mbber. Therefore the consistency of cure for different grades of mbber is determined from compounds mixed to the ACSl formulation (27). The ACSl formulation is as follows natural mbber, 100 stearic acid, 0.5 zinc oxide, 6.0 sulfur, 3.5 and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), 0.5. 

Although soaps have many physical properties in common with the broader class of surfactants, they also have several distinguishing factors. First, soaps are most often derived direcdy from natural sources of fats and oils (see Fats and fatty oils). Fats and oils are triglycerides, ie, molecules comprised of a glycerol backbone and three ester-linked fatty oils. Other synthetic surfactants may use fats and oils or petrochemicals as initial building blocks, but generally require additional chemical manipulations such as sulfonation, esterification, sulfation, and amidation. 

Ash and Inorganic Constituents. Ash may be measured gravimetdcaHy by incineration in the presence of sulfudc acid or, more conveniendy, by conductivity measurement. The gravimetric result is called the sulfated ash. The older carbonate ash method is no longer in use. Ash content of sugar and sugar products is approximated by solution conductivity measurements using standardized procedures and conversion factors. 

Carbon is alkylated ia the form of enolates or as carbanions. The enolates are ambident ia activity and can react at an oxygen or a carbon. For example, refluxing equimolar amounts of dimethyl sulfate and ethyl acetoacetate with potassium carbonate gives a 36% yield of the 0-methylation product, ie, ethyl 3-methoxy-2-butenoate, and 30% of the C-methylation product, ie, ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate (26). Generally, only one alkyl group of the sulfate reacts with beta-diketones, beta-ketoesters, or malonates (27). Factors affecting the 0 C alkylation ratio have been extensively studied (28). Reaction ia the presence of soHd Al O results mosdy ia C-alkylation of ethyl acetoacetate (29).
