РАЗРАБОТКА И ИССЛЕДОВАНИЕ МЕТОДОВ НЕЙТРАЛИЗАЦИИ СОРБЕНТА, ЗАГРЯЗНЕННОГО ПАРАМИ КОМПОНЕНТОВ РАКЕТНОГО ТОПЛИВА

The paper discusses the issues for neutralization of solid waste – sorbent saturated with vapors of highboiling propellants (dinitrogen tetraoxide – oxidizer, nonsymmetrical dymethylhydrazine – fuel). The original methods of neutralizing the sorbent, contaminated with vapors of propellants, have been developed and the known methods have been experimentally checked. The neutralization methods bench test results have been presented.

Acidic ionic liquids and green and recyclable catalysts in the clean nitration of TAIW to CL-20 using HNO3 electrolyte

A novel method for the synthesis of CL-20 by nitration of TAIW was investigated. HNO3 electrolyte, containing generated dinitrogen pentoxide and unreacted dinitrogen tetraoxide, was directly used as a nitrating agent and the result was encouraging. A series of SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids were utilized to further improve the result. The satisfactory yield of CL-20 (94%) makes it a useful method for the green and clean synthesis of CL-20.

Interaction of copper with dinitrogen tetroxide in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids

Ionic liquids that are stable toward oxidation and nitration and are based on the 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazloium cation (BMIm+) can be used as solvents and reaction media for copper dissolution in liquid dinitrogen tetraoxide N2O4.

Can Diabetes I and Early Blindness Be Prevented Using a Tylenol Combination Which Inhibits Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress?

Since oxidative/nitrosative stress cause diabetes, can we prevent this chemistry generating the disease? Streptozotocin causes diabetes by entering the pancreatic beta cell generating excessive nitric oxide which reacts with oxygen creating a toxin possibly peroxynitrite, dinitrogen trioxide, dinitrogen tetraoxide and so forth. The toxic compounds damage the DNA causing beta cell death. This prevents insulin synthesis, storage and release. By using antioxidant substances that destroy the nitric-oxide-based toxins (e.g., carboxy-PTIO (oxidizes nitric oxide), polyphenolic-quercetin and monophenolic acetaminophen (Tylenol)) which are oxidation and nitration targets can the diabetes I causing toxins in animals be destroyed? Will this tri-drug combination completely prevent the deleterious effects of diabetes namely poor blood glucose control and blindness from cataracts for the entire length of the experiment (one year). These disease reversal experiments were accomplished in rats where the streptozotocin-diabetic effects were completely thwarted. In vitro experiments were accomplished to provide the scientific basis for the experimental results in animals.
