General description

EMPLURA® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application


  • Certified reference samples of tetrachloromethane, tetrachloroethylene, and chlorophenol solutions.: This study presents certified reference samples for tetrachloromethane, tetrachloroethylene, and chlorophenol solutions, crucial for standardizing measurements in analytical chemistry (Piterskikh et al., 2000).

  • Continuous Determination of High-Vapor-Phase Concentrations of Tetrachloroethylene Using On-Line Mass Spectrometry.: This research focuses on the continuous monitoring of high vapor-phase concentrations of tetrachloroethylene using on-line mass spectrometry, improving real-time detection capabilities (Fine et al., 2008).

  • An Analytical Solution of Tetrachloroethylene Transport and Biodegradation.: The paper provides an analytical solution for the transport and biodegradation of tetrachloroethylene in porous media, essential for environmental remediation strategies (Sun et al., 2004).

  • Thermal decomposition of tetrachloroethylene with excess hydrogen.: This study examines the thermal decomposition of tetrachloroethylene in the presence of excess hydrogen, contributing to understanding its breakdown products and potential applications in chemical engineering (Won, 2009).

  • A Practical Synthesis of Tetrachloroethylene Oxide.: This article discusses a practical synthesis method for tetrachloroethylene oxide, an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and industrial applications (Campbell & Vogl, 1977).
