A new test method was established for the determination of purity and impurities of ethylene glycol (EG) by gas chromatography (GC) using a Rtx-624 column (30 m×0.32 mm×1.8 μm). The method determined not only the impurities in EG from the ethylene oxidation process, such as diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol and (1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)methanol, but also the impurities from the oxalate hydrogenation process, such as 1,2-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, and ethylene carbonate, etc. The method showed good repeatability and high detection sensitivity. The lowest LOD of the impurities reached to 0.0002% (mass fraction), and the recoveries of the impurities were in the range of 91.2%-105.4%. The proposed method can be applied in production control, product testing and market trade of ethylene glycol.

The increasing adoption of distributed recycling via additive manufacturing (DRAM) has facilitated the revalorization of materials derived from waste streams for additive manufacturing. Recycled materials frequently contain impurities and mixed polymers, which can degrade their properties over multiple cycles. This degradation, particularly in rheological properties, limits their applicability in 3D printing.

As a unique form of TiO, TiO nanotube arrays (TiONTAs) have been widely used. TiONTAs are usually prepared by Ti foil, with little research reporting its preparation by Ti mesh. In this paper, TiONTAs are prepared on a Ti mesh surface via an anodic oxidation method in the F-containing electrolyte.

Effective removal of organic and inorganic impurities by adsorption technique requires the preparation of new materials characterized by low production costs, significant sorption capacity, and reduced toxicity, derived from natural and renewable sources. To address these challenges, new adsorbents have been developed in the form of polymer microspheres based on ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and vinyl acetate (VA) (EGDMA/VA) containing starch (St) modified with boric acid (B) and dodecyl-S-thiuronium dodecylthioacetate (DiTDTA) for the removal of dyes: C.I.

Ethylene glycol (EG) and diethylene glycol (DEG) are two contaminants known to cause a variety of human health problems, when ingested in certain amounts, they can cause adverse effects such as nephrotoxicity, neurotoxicity and even death. They are widely found in propylene glycol, which is commonly used as a base for pharmaceutical syrups. The aim of this study was to develop an analytical method for the evaluation of EG and DEG in commercially available pediatric syrups.

Acetylene and methylacetylene are impurities commonly found in the raw materials used for the production of polymers such as polypropylene and polyethylene. Experimental evidence indicates that both acetylene and methylacetylene can decrease the productivity of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst and alter the properties of the resulting polymer. However, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the mechanisms through which these substances affect this process.
