General description

Ethylbenzeneis a clear liquid with a noticeable aromatic fragrance. It is flammable and easily blends with alcohol and ether, although it has a low solubility in water. It is commonly used as a solvent and vital in the production of styrene and synthetic polymers, which are employed in the manufacturing of plastics and rubber items.

Application

Ethylbenzenecan be used as a solvent to synthesis Pseudo-Peptides or N,N-disubstituted thiomalonamides with retro thioamide bond.

Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) are increasingly being considered for in situ remediation of contaminated groundwater. However, their application potential for the simultaneous treatment of complex mixtures of organic and inorganic contaminants, has been only marginally explored. Here we have analyzed

Endcapped stationary phases were prepared after thermal immobilization of poly(methyloctadecylsiloxane) (PMODS) onto zirconized and titanized silica supports. These new stationary phases have lower densities of residual hydroxyl groups, according to infrared spectroscopy and 29Si CP-MAS NMR and as shown by
