Organic pollutants in the effluents of large wastewater treatment plants in Sweden was written by Paxeus, Nicklas. And the article was included in Water Research in 1996.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
Effluent from the 3 largest wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) in Sweden were analyzed for the presence of organic pollutants by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry. From a total of 137 identified compounds, only 10 were priority pollutants. A broad spectrum of non-regulated organic pollutants in the effluent included aromatic hydrocarbons, food- and household-related compounds, solvents, plasticizers, flame retardants, preservatives, anti-oxidants, and washing- and cleaning-related compounds Individual effluent compound concentrations of all 3 WWTP were 0.5-50 娓璯/L. Few point-discharged pollutants from specific industries were present in the effluent. The majority of pollutants detected in effluent were attributable to overall use and discharge of chem. products. These pollutants originate from diffuse sources and represent a background chem. pollution load to the receiving waters through the discharge from WWTP in large cities. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-((1-((1-Methoxypropan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-ol (cas: 20324-33-8Category: ethers-buliding-blocks).
1-((1-((1-Methoxypropan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-ol (cas: 20324-33-8) belongs to ethers. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive, and as a result they are useful as solvents for fats, oils, waxes, perfumes, resins, dyes, gums, and hydrocarbons. Vapours of certain ethers are used as insecticides, miticides, and fumigants for soil. Ethers feature bent C閳ユ彊閳ユ弲 linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111鎺?and C閳ユ彊 distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C閳ユ彊 bonds is low. The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks
