Dehydration of the four isomeric butanols by strong acid at about 160° gives a C4-fraction containing isobutane as well as the isomeric butenes. Isobutane probably arises by hydride transfer, from one or more donors including the substrate alcohol and hydrocarbons formed from it in the medium, to one or more carbonium ions including the t-butyl cation. Materials which react with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent to form 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones can be swept out of the hot acid solution with a stream of nitrogen.

The synthesis of 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene-5-carboxylic acid (2) and several derivatives of 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene-5-carboxylic acid (1; a–c) from 5-hydroxy-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene-5-carboxylic acid and derivatives thereof (3; a–c) is described.The p-toluenesulfonic acid-catalyzed elimination of water (at 110.6° in toluene) from the deuterated hydroxy ester (3b; C-10, 11 d2) resulted in the incorporation of deuterium at C-5 of the olefinic ester 1b with a KH/KD of 2.76. The large magnitude of this isotope effect indicated that the reaction proceeded via a rate-determining transannular 1,5-hydride transfer from one of the benzylic positions of 3b to the carbonium ion generated alpha to the methoxy-carbonyl group.

Both the tricarbonyl(1,4-dimethylene-cis, cis, trans, cis-hexa-1,3-dienyl)iron (secondary) and the tricarbonyl(1,4-dimethylene-5-methyl-cis, cis, trans-hexa-1,3-dienyl)iron (tertiary) cations, which cannot convert to a 5h-cis pentadienyl system via a simple bond rotation, can be prepared at low temperature in strong acid media from their related alcohol complexes. The secondary as well as the tertiary ions rearrange to give the thermodynamically more stable tricarbonyl-(1-alkylcyclohexa-1,3-dienyl)iron cation via an acid catalyzed pseudo first order process. The rate of rearrangement of the secondary ion is much faster than that of the tertiary ion indicating a substantial amount of residual positive charge on the exocyclic (β) carbon in the complexed trans-pentadienyl carbonium ions.

Dimension stones are worldwide used as building and finishing material, reason why the environmental problems inherent to this productive sector became relevant in various countries. One of these problems is the production of large amounts of wastes during the sawing of rocky blocks and polishing of plates. The waste generated by cutting marble with diamond wire consists of fine particles of calcium and magnesium carbonate dispersed in water. This mud has basic character, and it is destined to drying beds or open pit deposits. In parallel, many production processes generate hazardous acidic effluents, which disposal is a serious and global problem. The pH of these solutions must be neutralized or, at least, raised to levels that are considered safe by environmental regulations. In this work, a strong acid solution was treated with varying amounts of marble waste coming from the dimension stone industry. The treatment generated secondary solid and liquid phases that were analyzed to determine the feasibility of their disposal in landfills. The waste raised the pH of the acid solution from near 1.0 to values between 5.0 and 6.0, which are acceptable levels for non-dangerous effluents. Besides that, loss of up to 50% in mass occurred, diminishing the amount of the primary solid waste. By the other hand, the levels of total dissolved solids (TDS), Cu, chlorides and nitrates on the liquid phase of the effluent remained higher than that allowed by environmental legislation for discharge into water bodies. Nevertheless, their characteristics correspond to non-hazardous and non-inert wastes, which, after dried, can be discarded in ordinary waste landfills.

A new reaction is suggested and a new kinetic method is elaborated for the As(HI) traces determination in solution, on the basis of their catalyzing effect on komplexon III (EDTA) oxidation by KMnO4 in a strong acid solution (H2SO4). Using a spectrophotometric technique, a sensitivity of 72 ng/cm3 As(IIl) was achieved. The relative error of method varies from 5.5 to 13.9 % for As(HT) concentration range from 83 to 140 ng/cm-1. Appropriate kinetic equations are formulated and the influence of some other ions, including the As(V), upon the reaction rate is tested.

The rates of reaction of halide ions with ethylene oxide in neutral aqueous solution and the rate of hydrolysis of ethylene oxide in acid solution have been measured and the activation energies determined. From these data and from the ratio of glycol to chlorohydrin formed when ethylene oxide reacts with excess aqueous hydrogen halide, the rates of the acid-catalyzed addition of halide ions to ethylene oxide at 25 °C. have been estimated.
