Thus‚ to ensure their social responsibility is carried‚ Kimpton hotels cultivated a program known as “EarthCare Program” in 1981. Not only boosting their reputation toward society‚ Kimpton Hotels was labeled as an eco friendly hotel worldwide. To realize the program from mere theory to reality‚ Kimpton uses environmentally friendly products for their hotel such

Groundwater is an important source of drinking water for more than half of the nation’s population and nearly all its rural population. In recent years‚ widespread reports of bacteria‚ nitrate‚ synthetic organic chemicals and other pollutants in groundwater have increased public concern about the quality of groundwater. What do we know - and what don’t we know - about groundwater quality? What causes groundwater contamination‚ and to what extent are the nation’s groundwater supplies at risk?

Landfills Environmental Impacts: • Hazardous gas emissions: In 1987‚ the EPA estimated that the nation ’s 7‚124 landfills emitted 15 million tons of methane per year and 300‚000 tons of other gases like toluene and methylene chloride (Philips‚ 1998). As mentioned earlier in the report‚ methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and landfills contributed 23% of total emissions in 2006 (USEPA‚ 2008). In addition to its effect in the ozone layer‚ methane is also

The Love Canal Tragedy— a historical event which had an immense impact on the lives of those involved‚ as well as the laws and regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It began as a plan by entrepreneur William T. Love to construct a canal that could act as a water source and conduct power using hydroelectricity‚ but rather served as a connector between Lake Ontario and the Niagara River. While his proposal sounded as though it would be a success‚ all construction came to a halt

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to identify one ketone with Thin Layer Chromatography and one using NMR spectrometry. We will do this by making 2‚ 4 a DNPH derivative and checking the melting points. Theory: By Using specific methods of compounds detection‚ we can match an unknown compound with a known compound because similar compounds will display similar characteristics. In this experiment‚ identifications of the unknown ketone was accomplished using thin layer chromatography

dissolves in the polar ethyl acetate solvent. This phenomenon was illustrated in class before the experiment‚ when it was pointed out why water will not dissolve fluorene‚ fluorenone‚ or transstilbene as readily as a nonpolar solvent such as heptane or toluene‚ or a polar eluent such as ethyl acetate. Those solvents have a much more similar structure to the solutes‚ whereas water’s structure is much different‚ making it not as ideal as a
