What is hard alkylbenzene? Does it mean that the WeChat name of one of my college physics teachers is hard alkyl benzene?
This WeChat name has a lot to do with my graduate life. When I was studying, I was honored to participate in the most famous and successful particle experiment team "Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment Team" in China. Our team is responsible for the production, optical performance control and testing of liquid scintillation solvents for detectors. The liquid scintillator used in this experiment is alkylbenzene. I have been dealing with it for more than 5 years, and I have deep feelings in it.
In the daily chemical industry, alkyl benzene is an intermediate used to produce detergent "sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate", while hard alkyl benzene is a by-product of light chain alkyl benzene synthesis, which is usually called "heavy alkyl benzene" and a few are called "hard alkyl benzene". Its main feature is that it is not easily degraded by the environment. The teacher took the name of WeChat to tell himself, "Do not forget your initiative mind, get rid of the mire and don't be belittled by the" environment ".
In addition, when the teacher was in graduate school, there was a good senior. His screen name is "anisole", and the teacher's WeChat name was inspired by him for some reasons.
P.S.' s answer to this question reminds me of my life in Nanjing University more than ten years ago. I really miss it!
