Volatile against

A fermented-egg product (EEP), patented as an attractive bait for synanthropic flies, has been shown to be attractive to coyotes and repeUent to deer (79). Its components are variable, with relative concentrations of 77% fatty acids, 13% bases, and 10% (primarily) neutrals composed of at least 54 volatiles such as ethyl esters, dimethyl disulfide, and 2-mercaptoethanol. Synthetic formulations have been evaluated to find a replacement for a patented fermented-egg protein product that attracts coyotes and repels deer. Ten aUphatic acids (C-2 to C-8), four amines (pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, and trimethyl), dimethyl disulfide, 2-mercaptoethanol, and 54 more volatiles (C-1 to C-5 esters of C-1 to C-8 acids) have been tested as synthetic fermented egg (SEE) (80) in approximately the same proportions that are present in EEP. Weathering was a problem that caused decreased efficacy, which suggests trials of controUed-release formulations. Eourteen repeUents have been examined against white-taU deer in Peimsylvania in choice tests when treated onto sheUed com (81). 

The precautions usually observed when handling volatile solvents should be observed as a matter of course with cyclohexanone. These include adequate and proper ventilation, avoidance of prolonged breathing of vapor or contact of the Hquid with the skin, avoidance of internal consumption, and protection of the eyes against splashing Hquids. 

Thus apolar probe liquids of sufficiently high surface tension to yield finite contact angles against many surfaces are especially valuable for this purpose. Popular examples of these include diiodomethane, with a surface tension of 50.8 mN/m at 23°C, and a-bromonaphthalene, with a surface tension of 44.4 mN/m at the same temperature. One should be cautioned, however, that both are sufficiently volatile that the 7re-effects may not be negligible with their use. 

This is a highly efficient barrier against evaporative losses of volatile compounds, which also improves the peak width of the early eluting compounds. This system has been successfully applied to a group of pesticides, using -decane as the co-solvent and has enabled a group of volatile phosphorus pesticides to be determined (95). The experimental conditions used in this work are shown in Table 13.2. 

Sometimes it is possible to add corrosion inhibitors to an aqueous product that is to remain in contact with tinned steel. The normal inhibitors used for protecting steel, e.g. benzoate, nitrite, chromate, etc. are suitable, provided that they are compatible with the product and that the pH is not raised above 10. In a closed container with an air-space, such inhibitors will not protect the zone above the water-line, and possibly not the water-line zone itself, against condensate. Volatile inhibitors have been used to give protection to these areas. 

Volatilization is also affected by the ventilation rate over the surface of the material, but when this is constant, a straight-line result from the plot of the logarithm of the vapor pressure against the reciprocal of the absolute temperature. 

The FW oxygen scavengers mentioned earlier are volatile and can therefore provide additional protection against post-boiler section corrosion induced or enhanced by oxygen in-leakage. These particular scavengers also break down under pressure to produce some level of volatile ammonia, which can neutralize any carbon dioxide found in the steam-condensate system. 

Tenets (i) and (ii). These are applicable only where the reactant undergoes no melting and no systematic change of composition (e.g. by the diffusive removal of a constituent) and any residual solid product phase offers no significant barrier to contact between reactants or the escape of volatile products [33,34]. When all these conditions are obeyed, the shape of the fraction decomposed (a) against time (f) curve for an isothermal reaction can, in principle, be related to the geometry of formation and advance of the reaction interface. The general solution of this problem involves intractable mathematical difficulties but simplifications have been made for many specific applications [1,28—31,35].
