Role of copper species in chlorination and condensation reactions of acetylene
Article Abstract:
Copper chloride- and copper oxide-impregnated borosilicates have been found to be effective catalysts in acetylene condensation/chlorination reactions. Copper chloride borosilicates were found to be effective at temperatures above 150 degrees centigrade while copper oxide borosilicates were found effective only at temperatures higher than 300 degrees centigrade. Optimal temperatures for the two catalysts was pegged between 300 degrees centigrade and 400 degrees centigrade.

DDT metabolite bis(chlorophenyl)acetic acid: the neglected environmental contaminant
Article Abstract:
DDA (2,2-bis(chlorophenyl)acetic acid) resulting from the degradation of DDT (2,2-bis(chlorophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroethane) residues has been neglected as an environmental contaminant of the aquatic system. DDA was found in the as amajor contaminant more than 25 years after DDT was banned from most developed countries in amounts up to 1 microgram per liter.
