Advances in Chemistry Research : Volume 31

The authors'' of this latest volume discuss recent advances in chemistry research. Chapter One reviews the role of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbonated beverages in both beverage quality and safety control. Chapter Two determines the effect of the agitation speed on the mass transfer coefficient of the water phase in a stirred cell. Chapter Three provides a vapour-liquid equilibrium investigation of the ethanol-cyclohexane system. Chapter Four implements the quantitative structureproperty relationship (QSPR) strategy to predict the freezing point of pure chemical compounds. Chapter Five studies the effects of kinetic inhibitors including L-Tyrosine (4-hydroxyphenylalanine), Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) and Polyethylene oxide (PEO) on methane hydrate formation rate. Chapter Six provides a better understanding of the crystal metals impacting secondary alphatic amine aerosol formation in the atmosphere. Chapter Seven discusses the thermodynamic properties and structures of gaseous borates. Chapter Eight reports the study of monovacancy resistivity of some dilute alloys of the different groups of the periodic table on the basis of well-known single parametric model potential formalism. The final chapter has the objective to develop new plasmono-resonance NPs of noble metals (gold and its alloy with silver) stabilised and functionalised with a MA copolymer, as well as to study a possibility of application of obtained organo-mineral colloids containing or containing no specific enzyme in catalysis for the selective aerobic oxidation of glucose to gluconic acid.
