Project description:This study considers the kinetics of snail shells demineralization process using acetic acid. It was washed, sundried then ground into four different particle sizes. The ranges of particle sizes are 6.3-4.75 mm, 4.75-2 mm, 2 - 1 mm, and 600 -300 ?m. The shells were first deproteinized with sodium hydroxide solution thereafter they were demineralized using 1.2 M acetic acid solution. Kinetics of demineralization of the snail shells was performed by XRF analysis of the chitin produced at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 min. The kinetic results show that mechanism of chitin formation from snail shell occurs through the chemical reaction controlled (CRC) model of the shrinking core model for particle sizes between 6.3 - 4.75 mm, 4.75-2 mm, and 2-1 mm particle sizes while Fluid Film Diffusion (FFD) model was observed for the smaller range of 600-300 ?m particle sizes. The surface morphology and the FTIR analysis of the synthesized chitin were typical of those obtained for earlier studies.

Project description:The structures of the ammonium salts of phen-oxy-acetic acid, NH4 (+)·C8H6O3 (-), (I), (4-fluoro-phen-oxy)acetic acid, NH4 (+)·C8H5FO3 (-), (II), and the herbicidally active (4-chloro-2-methyl-phen-oxy)acetic acid (MCPA), NH4 (+)·C9H8ClO3 (-)·0.5H2O, (III) have been determined. All have two-dimensional layered structures based on inter-species ammonium N-H?O hydrogen-bonding associations, which give core substructures consisting primarily of conjoined cyclic motifs. The crystals of (I) and (II) are isomorphous with the core comprising R 1 (2)(5), R 1 (2)(4) and centrosymmetric R 4 (2)(8) ring motifs, giving two-dimensional layers lying parallel to (100). In (III), the water mol-ecule of solvation lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis and bridges two carboxyl O atoms in an R 4 (4)(12) hydrogen-bonded motif, creating two R 4 (3)(10) rings, which together with a conjoined centrosymmetric R 4 (2)(8) ring incorporating both ammonium cations, generate two-dimensional layers lying parallel to (100). No ?-? ring associations are present in any of the structures.

Project description:Current aquatic chemical testing guidelines recognise that solvents can potentially interfere with the organism or environmental conditions of aquatic ecotoxicity tests and therefore recommend concentration limits for their use. These recommendations are based on evidence of adverse solvent effects in apical level tests. The growing importance of sub-apical and chronic endpoints in future test strategies, however, suggests the limits may need re-assessment. To address this concern, microarrays were used to determine the effects of organic solvents, dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), upon the transcriptome of zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos. Embryos were exposed for 48 h to 0.025 and 0.1 ml/L DMF or DMSO. Effects on survival and development after 24 and 48 h were assessed microscopically with no effects on mortality or morphology. However, analysis of 48-h embryonic RNA revealed large numbers of differentially expressed genes for both solvent at both concentrations. The enrichment of differentially expressed genes was found for metabolic, development and other key biological processes, some of which could be linked to observed morphological effects at higher solvent concentrations. These findings emphasise the need to remove or lower as far as possible, the concentrations of solvent carriers in ecotoxicology tests.

Project description:6-Aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) is used for synthesis of semisynthetic antibiotics. Polymer-salt aqueous two-phase systems (ATPSs) were applied for separation of 6-APA and phenyl acetic acid (PAA), as the products of hydrolyzation reaction of Penicillin G/Penicillin V. The binodal curves of ATPS composed of a copolymer (reverse Pluronic 10R5, Pluronic L35 and PEG-ran-PPG) and a salt (Tri-sodium citrate, tri-potassium citrate, di-potassium phosphate, sodium sulphate and magnesium sulphate) were obtained. The results show that, at a fixed PPG/PEG ratio, block copolymers have larger two-phase region compared with random copolymer. After screening on the partition coefficient of PAA and 6-APA separately, Na2SO4 was selected for studying the effect of the copolymer structure and the composition of salt and copolymer on partitioning, considering higher selectivity of PAA and 6-APA. 10R5-Na2SO4 ATPS was selected as the most appropriate system for separation of 6-APA and PAA. This system was used for separation of mixture of 6-APA and PAA. The results show that selectivity was [Formula: see text] 53 and smaller in a system, containing a mixture of 6-APA and PAA. This observation can be justified by the interaction between 6-APA and PAA. Molecular interaction between these two molecules were investigated by the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter.

Project description:The anhydrous salts morpholinium (tetra-hydro-2-H-1,4-oxazin-4-ium) phen-oxy-acetate, C4H10NO(+)·C8H7O3 (-), (I), morpholinium (4-fluoro-phen-oxy)acetate, C4H10NO(+)·C8H6?FO3 (-), (II), and isomeric morpholinium (3,5-di-chloro-phen-oxy)acetate (3,5-D), (III), and morpholinium (2,4-di-chloro-phen-oxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), C4H10NO(+)·C8H5Cl2O3 (-), (IV), have been determined and their hydrogen-bonded structures are described. In the crystals of (I), (III) and (IV), one of the the aminium H atoms is involved in a three-centre asymmetric cation-anion N-H?O,O' R 1 (2)(4) hydrogen-bonding inter-action with the two carboxyl O-atom acceptors of the anion. With the structure of (II), the primary N-H?O inter-action is linear. In the structures of (I), (II) and (III), the second N-H?Ocarbox-yl hydrogen bond generates one-dimensional chain structures extending in all cases along [100]. With (IV), the ion pairs are linked though inversion-related N-H?O hydrogen bonds [graph set R 4 (2)(8)], giving a cyclic hetero-tetra-meric structure.

Balanced loop design consisting of five separate conditions - two exposure concentrations for each of the two solvents and a control treatment - using four replicates for each condition all of which were dye swapped, resulting in a total of twenty independant samples on twenty arrays.

Project description:We present a systematic study on the support effect of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), regarding substrate adsorption. A remarkable enhancement of both catalytic activity and selectivity for the ethanol (EtOH) production reaction through acetic acid (AcOH) hydrogenation (AH) was observed on Pt nanoparticles supported on MOFs. The systematic study on catalysis using homogeneously loaded Pt catalysts, in direct contact with seven different MOF supports (MIL-125-NH2, UiO-66-NH2, HKUST-1, MIL-101, Zn-MOF-74, Mg-MOF-74, and MIL-121) (abbreviated as Pt/MOFs), found that MOFs having a high affinity for the AcOH substrate (UiO-66-NH2 and MIL-125-NH2) showed high catalytic activity for AH. This is the first demonstration indicating that the adsorption ability of MOFs directly accelerates catalytic performance using the direct contact between the metal and the MOF. In addition, Pt/MIL-125-NH2 showed a remarkably high EtOH yield (31% at 200 °C) in a fixed-bed flow reactor, which was higher by a factor of more than 8 over that observed for Pt/TiO2, which was the best Pt-based catalyst for this reaction. Infrared spectroscopy and a theoretical study suggested that the MIL-125-NH2 support plays an important role in high EtOH selectivity by suppressing the formation of the byproduct, ethyl acetate (AcOEt), due to its relatively weak adsorption behavior for EtOH rather than AcOH.

Project description:p-Coumaric acid (pCA) and trans-ferulic acid (TFA) were co-crystallised with 2-amino-4-picoline (2A4MP) and 2-amino-6-picoline (2A6MP) producing organic salts of (pCA-)(2A4MP+) (1), (pCA̶ )(2A6MP+) (2) and (TFA̶ )(2A4MP+)·( 3 2 H2O) (3). For salt 3, water was included in the crystal structure fulfilling a bridging role. pCA formed a 1:1 salt with 2A4MP (Z' = 1) and a 4:4 salt with 2A6MP (Z' = 4). The thermal stability of the salts was determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Salt 2 had the highest thermal stability followed by salt 1 and salt 3. The salts were also characterised using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to study the different intermolecular interactions in the three salts. Solvent-assisted grinding was also investigated in attempts to reproduce the salts.
