A Simple and Fast Procedure for in situ Determination of Water in Ethanol Fuel

A simple procedure was developed for determination of water content in ethanol fuel exploiting the differences in solubility of sodium chloride in aqueous and organic media. Based on the same principle, an inexpensive device was constructed aiming at in-situ detection of unconformities in ethanol fuel. The device can be operated even by non-experts and yields a binary response indicated by colored LEDs.
Details are presented in the Article A Simple and Fast Procedure for in situ Determination of Water in Ethanol Fuel by Mauricio S. Ribeiro, Lúcio Angnes and Fábio R. P. Rocha on page 418.

How to cite this article

 

An approach for desymmetrization of glycerol by using readily available camphorsulfonamide to obtain chiral glycerol derivate (enantioselectivity, ee > 95%) is described. The resultant chiral glycerol derivative is used in asymmetric synthesis of β-blockers (S)-propranolol, (S)-naftopidil and (R)-monobutyrin.

This figure shows the operation scheme of the capillary electrochromatography system. The major difference between this one and the conventional capillary electrophoresis system is the use of a capillary column packed with stationary phase. The stationary phase in the zoomed picture is an octadecyl methacrylate-based monolith.

This study focuses on the behavior of galvanized steel in a corrosive marine environment and on the rainwater runoff process for the same material in the city of Valparaiso, Chile. After one year, the total Zn loss due to the runoff process is practically negligible compared to the mass loss of the galvanized steel due to atmospheric corrosion.
