  • Influence of some dissolved salts, chiefly nitrates, upon the precipitation of lead chloride in qualitative analysis 
    McWhorter, Zella A. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1915)
    In following the various procedure of Qualitative Analysis the purpose of the operator is to separate, as completely as possible, the substances present and to identify each in its proper order. Experience has shown the ...
  • Benzoic acid (C₆H₆COOH) 
    Hood, Edward P. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1920)
    The acid juice of apples and various other fruits was employed for preparing different medicines before any attempt was made to isolate the acid itself. Free benzoic acid, however, obtained by subliming benzoin, was ...
  • The Electrolytic Oxidation of Potassium Arsenite 
    Adams, Marion Vaun (University of Alabama Libraries, 1924)
    Potassium arsenate is a comparatively unknown compound, that is, very little experimental work has been done with it, and since no important use has been found for it no attempt has been made to produce it in large quantities. ...
  • The Direct Production of Aniline from Benzene 
    Slaughter, John Robert (University of Alabama Libraries, 1927)
    Aniline was accurately investigated by A. W. Hoffman in 1843. He was able to show that all of the above products are identical and for them he selected Fritsche's name, aniline. His work on the separation of aniline from ...
  • Non Fermentable Reducing Substances in Blood 
    Clements, Ralph Mayo (University of Alabama Libraries, 1927)
    Until recently investigators have considered that results of blood sugar determinations obtained by fermentation and those obtained by copper reduction have been in quantitative agreement, and both of these methods have ...
  • Acetic Anhydride 
    Hanna, Carl (University of Alabama Libraries, 1929)
    Acetic anhydride is a colourless, volatile liquid having an odor like that of glacial acetic acid, but stronger. It is very corrosive and its vapors are extremely irritating to the eyes and lungs. Care should therefore be ...
  • The Direct Production of Aniline 
    Dougherty, Daniel Vincent (University of Alabama Libraries, 1929)
    The coal tar industry holds a unique position in the industrial world. as it is entirely the outcome of scientific research. The first seed was planted in 182,5 when Faraday discovered benzene, which he obtained from the ...
  • The Preparation of Treated and Artificial Resins and Their Use in the Varnish Industry 
    Marsh, Alfred (University of Alabama Libraries, 1929)
    The purpose of this investigation is, therefore, a search for fossil resin substitutes. Natural resins, at present, are often treated to convert them to products that resemble the fossil resins to some extent. Artificial ...
  • The Direct Production of Synthetic Phenol 
    Brame, James Yancey (University of Alabama Libraries, 1930)
    The present day synthetic processes for the production of phenol may be attributed, at least, indirectly to fore-runners of our modern school of chemists. Faraday laid open a vast field for scientific research along the ...
  • The Thermal Decomposition of Mono and DI Ammonium Phosphate and Their Desirability as Fertilizers 
    Gordon, Samuel A. (1930)
    Granting that the ammonium salts of phosphoric acid are desirable as fertilizers, and that their importance in the fertilizer industry is assured, I undertook this series of experiments in January, 1928 with the idea of ...
  • The Chemical Refining of Natural Graphite 
    Anderson, Ross Eugene (University of Alabama Libraries, 1930)
    It is the purpose of this paper to present some of the more important aspects of the graphite industry, such as countries producing graphite, economic conditions, uses of graphite, and the nature of graphite deposits; and ...
  • A Study of Sulfur Dyes 
    Padula, V. D. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1930)
    The following chapters are devoted to research carried on by the author, in producing sulfur dyes by causing benzene in the vapor phase to react with sulfur heated to above 360 C, and also to sulfur analyses with the Parr ...
  • Study of Toluene Sulfur Dye 
    Hodges, F. A. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1930)
    The use of substances as dye materials began thousands of years ago. We have accounts of Ancients who used dyeing materials for developing colors pleasing to the eye almost as early as the art of leaving written records ...
  • A Study of Deacon's Process and an Investigation of the Inherent Possibilities in the Oxidation of Hydrochloric Acid by Atmospheric Oxygen in the Presence of Certain Catalysts and Temperatures 
    Harwell, F. L. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1931)
    In the past many chemists have been attracted by the inherent possibilities in the oxidation of hydrochloric acid by atmospheric oxygen as a means of evolving chlorine cheaply. It was along this line of thought that such ...
  • Proof of Structure of Some Controversial Sulfonyl Chlorides 
    McKeown, George Baker (University of Alabama Libraries, 1960)
    A comprehensive investigation of reaction mechanisms of sulfonyl compounds was initiated in this Laboratory in 1949. At that time an insight into these reaction mechanisms was sought by determining the steric requirements ...
  • Comparative Reactivities of Axial and Equatorial Carbinol Derivatives 
    Williams, George C. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1961)
    In an earlier work, rates of reaction of iodide ion with cyclopentylmethyl bromide and cyclohexylmethyl bromide in dry acetone were determined. These two compounds reacted at about the same rate, but there were differences ...
  • Thermodynamic Properties of Strontium Bromide and Strontium Nitrate 
    Taylor, Arthur R. Jr. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1961)
    This dissertation concerns a branch of physical chemistry that began in the era when chemistry was first emerging as a recognized branch of natural philosophy. Antoine Lavoisier, "the father of chemistry," conducted some ...
  • Mechanism Studies of the Retropinacol Reaction 
    Payne, Lamar Bishop (University of Alabama Libraries, 1962)
    The purpose of this study was to synthesize the p-toluene-sulfates and methanesulfates of cis- and trans-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclohexanediol and to determine their behavior toward solvolytic and substitution reactions ...
  • Reaction of 1-Ethoxyvinyl Acetate with Aliphatic Diazo Compounds 
    Franklin, James C. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1962)
    The purpose of the experiments described in this thesis was to prepare certain cyclopropane derivatives by the reaction of 1-ethoxyvinyl acetate with various diazo compounds, and to investigate the behavior of the resulting ...
  • Organoscandium Chemistry 
    Smith, Karl Dee (University of Alabama Libraries, 1973)
    The element scandium has been known for over one hundred years, but its coordination chemistry has been little studied. The lack of attention has been due, in part, to the difficulty of obtaining a pure source of scandium, ...
