In one process the naphtha fraction boiling between 160 and 180°C is washed with caustic soda to remove the acids and then with suilphuric acid to remove basic constituents such as pyridine and quinoline. The naphtha is then frozen to remove naphthalene, and agitated with sulphuric acid, then with caustic soda and finally with water. Concentrated sulphuric acid is then run into the purified naphtha at a temperature below 0°C. The reaction is stopped by addition of water after 5-10 minutes, any sediment is removed, and the solution is neutralised and then washed with water. Residual naphtha is distilled off under vacuum, leaving behind the resin, which is run into trays for cooling.

Dinitroaniline herbicides have low soil mobility potential. Herbicide residues in the treated field are usually incorporated into the upper layers of the soil mainly as unextractable bound residue therefore, the movement of dinitroaniline herbicides from soil to the water compartment is minimal. Run-off is the principal route, which could lead to the contamination of surface waters. Residue methods were developed to measure the parent concentration in water samples. 

The crop residue definition includes parent flucarbazone-sodium and the A/-desmethyl flucarba-zone metabolite (I). The soil and water residue definitions include parent flucarbazone-sodium and the sulfonic acid, sulfonamide and A/,0-dimethyl triazoli-none (NODT) metabolites... 

Water samples are amended with isotopically labeled internal standards, acidifled, and purified/concentrated by Cig SPE. The extracts are evaporated to dryness, reconstituted with mobile phase and analyzed by LC/MS/MS. This method determines water residues of flucarbazone-sodium, sulfonic acid, sulfonamide and NODT with an LOQ of 50 ngkg for each analyte. 

The water residue level is also determined from the relative responses of the analytes to the internal standards. The sample residue levels are calculated by comparison with an average response factor determined by triplicate analysis of a five-point calibration curve. Samples receive 5ng of each internal standard (0.1 ngmL ) and are concentrated 50-fold by Ci8 SPE before analysis to achieve adequate instrumental sensitivity. The calculations to determine the residue level in water are outlined in Section 7.3.3. 

The nature of water residue analysis has changed dramatically over the past 60 years. Advances in SPE media have made the isolation of hard to extract residues more attainable. The use of specific and sensitive instrumentation as in HPLC/MS/MS has even precluded the need for extraction in many cases, since the samples can be directly analyzed as they are received from the Held. The future holds even more improvements in sensitivity with rugged new API interfaces and high-resolution mass spectrometers that will dramatically increase the specificity of detection and ease of analysis. 

The definition of water residue for the neonicotinoid insecticides except for niten-pyram and thiacloprid is the parent molecule. For nitenpytram and thiacloprid both the parent and its metabolites are determined. These metabolites are 2-[A-(6-chloro-3-pyridylmethyl)-A-ethyl]amino-2-methyliminoacetic acid (CPMA) and...

The soil was aged aerobically for two weeks, then submerged under water for two weeks. Finally, additional water and catfish were added with monitoring of residues for twenty-eight days. For soil treated at 0.55 ppm, 64% of the initial dose was released from the soil, but only 2.3% of the applied radiolabel was found in the water upon termination of the study. Water residues consisted mostly (>93%) of 4-chlorophenylurea, accompanied by difluorobenzoic acid (3-5%), 4-chloroaniline (0-1%), and diflubenzuron (0.4-1.5%). An average of 66% of the soil residues were extractable with methanol, consisting predominantly of unmetabolized diflubenzuron (74-84%) and 4-chloroaniline (11-17%). For soil treated at 0.55 ppm, fish residues quickly reached a plateau after three days at about 4 and 10 ppb for muscle and viscera, respectively. Hence, Booth and Ferrell (14) concluded that bioaccumulation of diflubenzuron residues from marsh applications should be minimal. 

Despite these advantages, native enzymes almost universally exhibit very low activities in organic solvents-often 4-5 orders of magnitude lower than in aqueous solutions. This loss in catalytic activity may be attributed to several factors, including a decrease in the polarity of the enzyme s microenvironment, the loss of critical water residues from the enzyme s surface, the decreased conformational mobility of the enzyme s structure, ground-state stabilization of hydrophobic substrates, and deactivation during the preparation of the biocatalyst for use in nonaqueous media,...
