  2. Environmental impact of paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_paint

    Low-VOC paint types include latex (water-based), recycled latex (water-based), acrylic, and milk paint. [1] [2] The labels of paint cans can be checked for the following information: To be considered low-VOC, the paint should contain <50 g/L of VOC. [citation needed] To be considered zero-VOC, the paint should contain <5 g/L of VOC. [citation ...

  3. Lime sulfur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_sulfur

    The inverse comproportionation reaction is the reaction occurring in the Claus process used for desulfurization of oil and gas crude products in the refining industry: H 2 S + 3 / 2 O 2 → SO 2 + H 2 O. By rewriting the last reaction in the inverse direction one obtains a reaction consistent with what is observed in the lime sulfur global ...

  4. Urushiol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urushiol

    Urushiol is an oleoresin contained within the sap of poison ivy and related plants, and after injury to the plant, or late in the fall, the sap leaks to the surface of the plant, where under certain temperature and humidity conditions the urushiol becomes a blackish lacquer after being in contact with oxygen. [15] [16] [11] Urushi lacquer is ...

  5. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    Solvation does not cause a chemical reaction or chemical configuration changes in the solute. However, solvation resembles a coordination complex formation reaction, often with considerable energetics (heat of solvation and entropy of solvation) and is thus far from a neutral process. When one substance dissolves into another, a solution is formed.

    There is solvent-based and water-based. Solvent-based acrylic paints are soluble in mineral spirits, and water-based acrylic paints are water-soluble. Acrylic paint differs from oil paint in both its quick drying time, and how the paint dries. Acrylic paint dries in as little as thirty minutes, and dries by the evaporation of the solvent or ...

    The Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday it has finalized a ban on consumer uses of methylene chloride, a chemical that is widely used as a paint stripper but is known to cause liver ...

  8. Contamination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contamination

    Contamination may be recognized or not and may become an issue if the impure chemical causes additional chemical reactions when mixed with other chemicals or mixtures. Chemical reactions resulting from the presence of an impurity may at times be beneficial, in which case the label "contaminant" may be replaced with "reactant" or "catalyst."

  9. Environmental impact of pesticides - Wikipedia

    AOP and its technologies have been used in the removal efforts of pesticide pollutants in wastewater using different chemical reactions to target different pollutants. [125] Researchers have found this method of pesticide removal using coupled free chlorine/ultrasound to be successful at removing pesticide residue from vegetables.
