Abstract: The process of oxidation of hydrocarbon with oxygen proceeds with formation of the corresponding hydroperoxide as the primary product [1,2]. A catalyst is the most important factor that influences on the direction of flow of the oxidation reaction. Catalysts based on metals of variable valency, and their derivatives are the most active in reactions of oxidation of hydrocarbon [3].

Abstract: The effects of a series of polyphosphonate and poly-carboxylate additives have been investigated in the crystallization of various inorganic salts. Systematic variation of the additive structure has been used to provide insight into the dominant factors in additive-crystal interactions. The results obtained for barium sulfate and hematite (α-Fe2O3) show that the morphological effects do not necessarily follow the trend one might expect on the basis of the structural features of the additives. Molecular modeling, coupled with in-situ AFM imaging is being used to develop an approach that will allow more informed systematic design of crystal growth modifiers.
