The VOC Solvents Emissions Directive was the main policy instrument for the reduction of industrial emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the European Union. It covers a wide range of solvent-using activities, e.g. printing, surface cleaning, vehicle coating, dry cleaning and manufacture of footwear and pharmaceutical products.
This Wikipedia page provides a comprehensive list of boiling and freezing points for various solvents.
Relative volatility is a measure comparing the vapor pressures of the components in a liquid mixture of chemicals. This quantity is widely used in designing large industrial distillation processes.
The most volatile chemical condense at the top of the column while the least volatile chemicals to vaporize condense in the lowest portion. [1] On the right is a picture illustrating the design of a distillation tower. The difference in volatility between water and ethanol has traditionally been used in the refinement of drinking alcohol.
The following table lists the Van der Waals constants (from the Van der Waals equation) for a number of common gases and volatile liquids. [ 1 ] To convert from L 2 b a r / m o l 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {L^{2}bar/mol^{2}} } to L 2 k P a / m o l 2 {\displaystyle \mathrm {L^{2}kPa/mol^{2}} } , multiply by 100.
Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) are a set of organic compounds that are typically photochemically reactive in the atmosphere—marked by the exclusion of methane. [1] NMVOCs include a large variety of chemically different compounds, such as benzene , ethanol , formaldehyde , cyclohexane , 1,1,1-trichloroethane and acetone . [ 2 ]
Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, booze, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 OH. It is an alcohol , with its formula also written as C 2 H 5 OH , C 2 H 6 O or EtOH, where Et stands for ethyl .
