o-Phthalaldehyde Reagent

Introduction Primary amines form highly fluorescent adducts when reacted with o-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) and a mercaptan under basic conditions. At a pH>9 and ambient temperature, reaction is generally complete within 30 seconds. The products of this reaction, 1-alkyl-2-alkylthio-substituted isoindoles, exhibit optimal excitation at 330 nm and maximal emission at 465 nm. The reagents ...

Dehalogenation

Introduction: Contaminated soil is screened, processed with a crusher and pug mill, and mixed with reagents. The mixture is heated in a reactor. The dehalogenation process is achieved by either the replacement of the halogen molecules or the decomposition and partial volatilization of the contaminants. Base-catalyzed Decomposition (BCD) Base-catalyzed ...

Analysis of Formaldehyde simple and sensitive method for analyzing free formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is used for disinfections of industrially manufactured products. However, it is detrimental to health and its potential oncogenicity led to the current utilization of a formaldehyde donor for long-term preservation. Such donors are in hydrolytic equilibrium with formaldehyde producing free formaldehyde on exposure to moisture. This method is used to quantify the free formaldehyde ...

Introducing a New ASTM Method for the Determination of Total Nitrogen, and TKN by Calculation, in Water Samples

The USEPA Clean Water Act (CWA) requires national approval for all methods used for CWA compliance. There are approved methods for the determination of inorganic nitrogen (NO3-N, NO2-N, and NH3-N), and for organic nitrogen (TKN – NH3-N)2. There are no EPA approved methods for the determination of total nitrogen although it is a required parameter in many USEPA permits, including monitoring ...

In Situ Solidification/Stabilization

Introduction Solidification/stabilization (S/S) reduces the mobility of hazardous substances and contaminants in the environment through both physical and chemical means. Unlike other remedial technologies, S/S seeks to trap or immobilize contaminants within their 'host' medium (i.e., the soil, sand, and/or building materials that contain them), instead of removing them through chemical or ...
