• Source

  As m+p-xylene, detected in distilled water-soluble fractions of 87 octane gasoline, 94 octane gasoline, and Gasohol at concentrations of 7.00, 20.1, and 14.6 mg/L, respectively (Potter, 1996); in distilled water-soluble fractions of new and used motor oil at concentrations of 0.26 to 0.29 and 302 to 339 μg/L, respectively (Chen et al., 1994). The average volume percent and estimated mole fraction in American Petroleum Institute PS-6 gasoline are 4.072 and 0.04406, respectively (Poulsen et al., 1992). Diesel fuel obtained from a service station in Schlieren, Switzerland contained m/p-xylene at a concentration of 336 mg/L (Schluep et al., 2001).
  Thomas and Delfino (1991) equilibrated contaminant-free groundwater collected from Gainesville, FL with individual fractions of three individual petroleum products at 24–25 °C for 24 h. The aqueous phase was analyzed for organic compounds via U.S. EPA approved test method 602. Average m+p-xylene concentrations reported in water-soluble fractions of unleaded gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel were 8.611, 0.658, and 0.228 mg/L, respectively. When the authors analyzed the aqueous-phase via U.S. EPA approved test method 610, average m+p-xylene concentrations in water-soluble fractions of unleaded gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel were lower, i.e., 6.068, 0.360, and 0.222 mg/L, respectively.
  Based on laboratory analysis of 7 coal tar samples, m+p-xylene concentrations ranged from ND to 6,000 ppm (EPRI, 1990). A high-temperature coal tar contained m-xylene at an average concentration of 0.07 wt % (McNeil, 1983).
  Schauer et al. (2001) measured organic compound emission rates for volatile organic compounds, gas-phase semi-volatile organic compounds, and particle-phase organic compounds from the residential (fireplace) combustion of pine, oak, and eucalyptus. The gas-phase emission rate of m-xylene + p-xylene was 60.0 mg/kg of pine burned. Emission rates of both isomers were not measured during the combustion of oak and eucalyptus.
  Drinking water standard (final): For all xylenes, the MCLG and MCL are both 10 mg/L. In addition, a DWEL of 70 mg/L was recommended (U.S. EPA, 2000).

• Environmental Fate

  Biological. Microbial degradation produced 3-methylbenzyl alcohol, 3-methylbenzaldehyde, mtoluic acid, and 3-methylcatechol (quoted, Verschueren, 1983). m-Toluic acid was reported to be the biooxidation product of m-xylene by Nocardia corallina V-49 using n-hexadecane as the substrate (Keck et al., 1989). Reported biodegradation products of the commercial product containing xylene include α-hydroxy-p-toluic acid, p-methylbenzyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, 4- methylcatechol, m- and p-toluic acids (Fishbein, 1985). In anoxic groundwater near Bemidji, MI, m-xylene anaerobically biodegraded to the intermediate m-toluic acid (Cozzarelli et al., 1990). In gasoline-contaminated groundwater, methylbenzylsuccinic acid was identified as the first intermediate during the anaerobic degradation of xylenes (Reusser and Field, 2002).
  Photolytic. When synthetic air containing gaseous nitrous acid and m-xylene was exposed to artificial sunlight (λ = 300–450 nm) biacetyl, peroxyacetal nitrate, and methyl nitrate were formed (Cox et al., 1980). They reported a rate constant of 1.86 x 10^-11 cm³/molecule?sec for the reaction of gaseous m-xylene with OH radicals based on a value of 8 x 10^-12 cm³/molecule?sec for the reaction of ethylene with OH radicals.
  Chemical/Physical. Under atmospheric conditions, the gas-phase reaction with OH radicals and nitrogen oxides resulted in the formation of m-tolualdehyde, m-methylbenzyl nitrate, nitro- mxylenes, 2,4- and 2,6-dimethylphenol (Atkinson, 1990). Kanno et al. (1982) studied the aqueous reaction of m-xylene and other aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, o- and p-xylene, and naphthalene) with hypochlorous acid in the presence of ammonium ion. They reported that the aromatic ring was not chlorinated as expected but was cleaved by chloramine forming cyanogen chloride. The amount of cyanogen chloride formed increased at lower pHs (Kanno et al., 1982). In the gas phase, m-xylene reacted with nitrate radicals in purified air forming pmethylbenzaldehyde, an aryl nitrate and trace amounts of 2,6-dimethylnitrobenzene, 2,4- dimethylnitrobenzene, and 3,5-dimethylnitrobenzene (Chiodini et al., 1993).

• Lager

  Color Code—Red: Flammability Hazard: Store ina flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet awayfrom ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials.Prior to working with this chemical you should be trainedon its proper handling and storage. Xylenes must be storedto avoid contact with strong oxidizers (such as chlorine,bromine, and fluorine) since violent reactions occur.Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, areprohibited where xylenes are used, handled, or stored in amanner that could create a potential fire or explosionhazard. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of xylenes.Protect storage containers from physical damage.

• läuterung methode

  The general purification methods listed under xylene are applicable. The o-and p-isomers can be removed by their selective oxidation when a m-xylene sample containing them is boiled with dilute HNO3 (one part conc acid to three parts water). After washing with water and alkali, the product can be steam distilled, collected as for o-xylene, then distilled and purified further by sulfonation. [Clarke & Taylor J Am Chem Soc 45 831 1923.] m-Xylene is selectively sulfonated when a mixture of xylenes is refluxed with the theoretical amount of 50-70% H2SO4 at 85-95o under reduced pressure. By using a still resembling a Dean and Stark apparatus, water in the condensate can be progressively withdrawn while the xylene is returned to the reaction vessel. After cooling, then adding water, unreacted xylenes are distilled off under reduced pressure. The m-xylene sulfonic acid is subsequently hydrolysed by steam distillation up to 140o, the free m-xylene is washed, dried with silica gel and again distilled. It is stored over molecular sieves Linde type 4A. [Beilstein 5 H 370, 5 I 182, 5 II 287, 5 III 823, 5 IV 932.]
