Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed on the geometries and energies of CO31–/2–(CO2)n clusters with n = 1–5. For small clusters (n = 1 or 2), coupled cluster energies were obtained. Up to three CO2 molecules are bound covalently to the dianion. Only weak electrostatic bonds were found in the monoanions. Calculated binding energies for the monoanions are in reasonable agreement with experimental values. The calculated adiabatic electron detachment energy for the dianion is –0.07 eV at n = 5, indicating that at least six CO2 molecules will have to be added to CO32– before the dianionic cluster becomes, in the gas phase, more stable than the monoanionic one. In comparison, for sulfate – carbon dioxide clusters, stabilization occurs at n = 2. Carbonate clusters are compared with sulfate clusters for three solvent molecules: CO2, SO2, and H2O. Carbonate clusters have larger binding energies than sulfate clusters. For a given dianion, binding energies are largest for SO2 and smallest for H2O. However, in all cases, stabilization of the carbonate dianion by clustering is more difficult to achieve than stabilization of the sulfate dianion.

Whenever possible, neutralization of alkaline wastewater should involve low-cost acid. It is conventional to make use of carbonic acid produced via the reaction of carbon dioxide (contained in flue gases) with water according to the following equation: Carbon dioxide content in the flue gas stream varies from 10% to 15%. The flue gas stream may either be passed to the wastewater contained in the recarbonizers, or. enter the scrubbers (which are continually sprayed with wastewater) from the bottom in oountercurrent. The reactors, in which recarbonation occurs, have the ability to expand the contact surface between gaseous and liquid phase. This can be achieved by gas phase dispersion in the liquid phase (bubbling), by liquid phase dispersion in the gas phase (spraying), or by bubbling and spraying, and mixing. These concurrent operations are carried out during motion of the disk aerator (which is a patent claim). The authors describe the functioning of the disk aerator, the composition of the wastewater produced during wet gasification of carbide, the chemistry of recarbonation and decarbonation, and the concept of applying the disk aerator so as to make the wastewater fit for reuse (after suitable neutralization) as feeding water in acetylene generators.

Vibrational spectroscopy and computational chemistry studies were combined with the aim of elucidating the structures of protonated imidacloprid (pIMI), and its unimolecular decomposition products.
