The addition of 0.01 mol L 1 dialkylphosphinic acids and alkylphosphonic acids in a nonirradiated 30% TRPO-kerosene system had no effect on the extraction of Pu(IV) with TRPO. Thus, these acids were not complexing materials for plutonium. The polymeric species were responsible for plutonium retention and emulsification in contact with NaOH or deionized water. The effective elimination of these compounds was obtained by vacuum distillation of the irradiated TRPO-kerosene (67,167). 

It would be useful to have liquid present in the polymerization reactor that provided the advantages of a solvent but without any of the disadvantages. Sound unlikely How about water One technique, called suspension polymerization, involves adding monomer to water in a reactor, agitating the mixture rapidly so that the monomer breaks apart into very small droplets, adding an initiator that is soluble in the monomer, and heating. Each droplet acts as a microbulk polymerization, the water very effectively removes the heat of polymerization, and the resulting polymer spheres are easily separated and filtered. This process, also known as bead polymeriza-... 

Similar polymeric electrolysis conditions are able. In the presence of water, to effect the conversion of olefins Into epoxides (68), In this case, choice of an anion exchange resin was crucial (Amberllte IRA-900 br)). The electrochemical efficiency is substantially lower (due to the competing electrolysis of water) but yields are high. Unsaturated carbonyl compounds do not react. 

Dry chlorine has no polymerizing effect on cyanogen chloride. Moist chlorine produces a slow reaction, but no polymer is formed, since the action is solely due to the water present. Traces of water present with the cyanogen chloride result in the formation of a small amount of ammonium chloride. Any hydrogen chloride present has the following effects ... 

When an enantiomer of CSA is used in the polymerization, such as R-CSA, it is possible to create chiral polyaniline nanofibers. Figure 7.20 shows the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of a water dispersion of as-prepared R-CSA doped polyaniline nanofibers. The positive peak at 450 nm is characteristic of chiral polyaniline [66-70], and is consistent with water s effect on the direction of the CD signals previously observed [71]. The peak at 290 nm is due to excess R-CSA in the dispersion. Recently, Wang et al. discovered that highly chiral polyaniline nanofibers can be produced by incremental addition of the oxidant, ammonium peroxydisulfate, into aniline solution with aniline oligomers and concentrated chiral dopants (>5 M R- or S-CSA) [72]. Chiral polyaniline nanofibers are very interesting for chiral recognition studies [68]. 

The reaction rate in the studied range (60-90°C) increases with temperature independently of the media. DAAH copolymerization with SO2 proceeds significantly easier in aqueous media - at lower temperatures and lesser concentrations of initiator, than in DMSO. The values of the total activation energy of DAAH copolymerization with SO2 in the water solution and DMSO, calculated from Arrenius equation, are 58,6 and 87,9 kJ/mol, respectively. It is known from reference data [9] that the values of activation energy of alternate copolymerization turn out to be lesser, than in the case of the most reactions of free-radical polymerization, effective activation energy of the latter being in the range 83,7-96,3 kJ/mol. 

Giskenhaug [83] has reported that the emulsion polymerization of VC is influenced by the water-phase polymerization. The half order with respect to initiator, as well as the slight effect of the particle concentration on the rate of polymerization was discussed in terms of the bimolecular termination of growing radicals. The following expression for the rate of the water-polymerization... 

Other solubilization and partitioning phenomena are important, both within the context of microemulsions and in the absence of added immiscible solvent. In regular micellar solutions, micelles promote the solubility of many compounds otherwise insoluble in water. The amount of chemical component solubilized in a micellar solution will, typically, be much smaller than can be accommodated in microemulsion fonnation, such as when only a few molecules per micelle are solubilized. Such limited solubilization is nevertheless quite useful. The incoriDoration of minor quantities of pyrene and related optical probes into micelles are a key to the use of fluorescence depolarization in quantifying micellar aggregation numbers and micellar microviscosities [48]. Micellar solubilization makes it possible to measure acid-base or electrochemical properties of compounds otherwise insoluble in aqueous solution. Micellar solubilization facilitates micellar catalysis (see section C2.3.10) and emulsion polymerization (see section C2.3.12). On the other hand, there are untoward effects of micellar solubilization in practical applications of surfactants. Wlren one has a multiphase...
