carbon disulphide

His efforts enabled him to create carbon disulphide, rubber's only solvent.

It is insoluble in water, but soluble in carbon disulphide, an organic solvent.

One example of this is the production of carbon disulphide through the reaction of sulphur vapours with hot charcoal.

It was more than another ten years before this field was revisited in experiments at Limoges University in liquid carbon disulphide.

It is a red solid, stable in dry air up to 140 C, insoluble in ether, carbon tetrachloride, dichloromethane, carbon disulphide.

However, a solvent without hydrogen, such as carbon tetrachloride, CCl or carbon disulphide, CS, may also be used.

For example, carbon disulphide, amines, acrylates, oxides of nitrogen, pyridine and recently included, specifically by reason of their foul odour, volatile organic sulphur compounds.

Neurotoxicants such as xylene and carbon disulphide, as well as the blood poison naphthalene, were also found at levels up to 384 times higher than levels deemed safe.

Clément and Desormes correctly determined the composition of carbon disulphide (CS2) and carbon monoxide (CO) in 1801-02.

It was discovered that soil in the gardens of a small number of properties were contaminated with high levels of carbon disulphide, a chemical used in the manufacture of rayon.

The estate was acquired by Louis Nicolas in 1871, just before the Phylloxera blight, and once faced with devastation, he became one of the pioneers of carbon disulphide injections into the soil in 1878.

Cross and Bevan's interest in the chemistry of cellulose led them to the study of the viscose solutions produced by treating cellulose with a strong solution of caustic soda and then carbon disulphide vapour.

A pilot plant for continuous spinning, washing and drying of viscose silk was put into operation in 1937, whilst a process for the recovery of carbon disulphide in the rayon staple plant was developed.

The movement was particularly strong in the north-eastern town of Suceava where it claimed credit for the closure in February of the local cellulose fabric plant, whose carbon disulphide emissions had been blamed for causing nervous disorders.

Alexander Parkes, inventor of the "cold cure" process (vulcanization of fabrics using sulphur chloride in a carbon disulphide solution), claimed that both Hancock and Brockendon admitted to him that their experiments on the Goodyear samples had enabled them to understand what he had done.

There were am monia and caustic soda, alcohol and ether, nauseous carbon disulphide and a dozen others; but although the weight grew steadily less as time passed, and the fragment seemed to be slightly cooling, there was no change in the solvents to show that they had attacked the substance at all.
