The data presented in this article relates to the crystallisation of 8 single n-alkanes, CH - CH in representative diesel solvents dodecane and toluene, as well as a mixture of these 8-alkanes with a composition representative of real diesel fuel in the same solvents. For the single alkane systems, the data was collected over a range of 5 concentrations ranging from 0.09 - 0.311x, depending upon the system, and 4 concentrations for the 8-alkane mixture, 0.1 - 0.5x. Raw average crystallisation and dissolution points as a function of cooling rate (q) from a polythermal methodology are presented. Along with the equilibrium crystallisation and dissolution temperatures, van't Hoff fitting parameters, relative critical undercooling (u) values as a function of q as well as the calculated values of K and α.

Origin of Tar Balls Along the Beaches of Genaveh Region, Persian Gulf.

Arch Environ Contam Toxicol

December 2024

Department of Watershed Management Engineering, Faculty of Natural Resources and Marine Science, Tarbiat Modares University, Noor, Iran.

Oil spills and tarballs are significant pollutants in marine environments, and identifying their sources is crucial for mitigating environmental impacts. This study aims to determine the primary sources of petroleum spills and tarballs along the shores of Genaveh (northwest of the Persian Gulf) by employing chemical fingerprinting techniques and biomarkers. Specifically, petroleum hydrocarbons were analyzed in 19 tarball samples, 13 surface sediment samples from the Genaveh coast, and reference oil samples from 21 offshore oil platforms located in the Bahregan, Khark, Lavan, Siri, and Hendurabi regions.

In the search for alternative energy carriers that can replace conventional fossil fuels, sustainably produced oxygenated hydrocarbons represent a promising class of potential candidates. An illustrative member of this class of alternative biofuels are oxymethylene ethers (OMEs). This study makes a contribution to this objective by investigating hydroxy ethers, specifically methoxymethanol, ethoxymethanol, and 2-methoxyethanol.

Correlation of the Molecular Cross-Sectional Area of Organic Monofunctional Compounds with Topological Descriptors.

J Chem Inf Model

Laboratory of Catalysis and Porous Materials, Labiris, Sustainable Chemistry, 1 Avenue Gryson, B-1070 Brussels, Belgium.

The molecular cross-sectional area (σ) has proved to be an interesting molecular measure not only in the field of adsorption phenomena on solids but also in biochemistry, physiology, or surfactant chemistry. The existing methods to estimate the cross-sectional areas are either not readily applicable or can only be applied to a limited number of compounds. The aim of this work was to describe a method, as general as possible, quick and easy to perform.

Intramolecular Catalytic Hydrogen Atom Transfer (CHAT).

Intramolecular catalysis () is the acceleration of a process at one site of a molecule catalyzed by a functional group in the same molecule; an external agent such as a solvent typically facilitates it. Here, we report a general first-principles-based mechanism, which strictly occurs within a single molecule with no coreagent being involved─we call it intramolecular catalytic transfer of hydrogen atoms (). A reactive part of a molecule ( catalyst moiety or agent, represented by -OOH, -COOH, -SH, -CHOH, -HPO, or another bifunctional H-donor/acceptor group) catalyzes an interconversion process, such as keto-enol or amino-imino tautomerization, and cyclization in the same molecule, while being regenerated in the process.

Comparison of sediment biomarker signatures generated using time-integrated and discrete suspended sediment samples.

Sediment source fingerprinting using biomarker properties has led to new insights in our understanding of land use contributions to time-integrated suspended sediment samples at catchment scale. A time-integrated mass-flux sampler (TIMS; also known as the 'Phillips' sampler), a cost-effective approach for suspended sediment collection in situ. Such samplers are widely being used to collect sediment samples for source fingerprinting purposes, including studies using biomarkers as opposed to more conventional tracer properties.
