Gas chromatographic technique for determination of Irgafos 168 in polyolefin samples after conversion to the related phenolic compound by saponification

A gas chromatographic technique is reported for the determination of a secondary antioxidant, Irgafos 168, in polymeric samples. Irgafos 168 [tris(2,4-di-tert-butyl phenyl)phosphite] is extracted by dissolution/precipitation, saponified to 2,4-di-tert-butyl phenol by refluxing in the presence of methanolic potassium hydroxide, and determined by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. The method’s repeatability is good, and the relative standard deviation is 7.5% (between runs) and 15.5% (between days). This method was applied to the determination of Irgafos 168 in commercial polymers, and the obtained results were in relatively good agreement with those obtained by the previously reported spectrophotometric method.

Catalytic wet air oxidation of oleic acid on ceria-supported platinum catalyst.effect of pH

Summary Catalytic wet air oxidation (CWAO) of oleic acid was carried out in a batch reactor on platinum supported ceria catalyst (Pt/CeO₂). Oleic acid is a water insoluble linear unsaturated fatty acid of 18 carbon atoms. To increase the homogeneity of the solution by saponification, the influence of NaOH additions in oleic acid CWAO mechanism and catalyst performances have been investigated. The oxidation of such molecule occurs by two types of mechanisms: successive carboxy-decarboxylation which leads essentially to CO₂and/or C-C bonds splitting in the alkyl chain inducing a high formation of acetic acid. With or without NaOH, the 5%Pt/CeO₂catalyst is active in the conversion of oleic acid and selective to carbon dioxide. In alkaline medium, oleic acid is initially saponified which increases the solubility of the reactant before it to be oxidized. Finally the oxidation is slightly delayed by the presence of NaOH. The catalyst characterizations show no significant difference before and after reaction.</o:p>     

Saponification of ethyl acetate in 2,6-lutidine + water near its critical point

We have measured the rate of saponification of ethyl acetate (CH₃COOC₂H₅) in 2,6-lutidine (2,6-DMP)?+?water (H₂O) near and far away from its critical point by electrical conductivity experiment. We found that the rate of saponification slowed in the one-phase region at temperatures near the critical point. This behaviour is evidence in support of critical slowing down. Moreover, the experimental results were compared with those of the same reaction in a different critical mixture of 2-butoxyethanol?+?H₂O [Y.W. Kim, Int. J. Thermophys. 25, 1025 (2004)].     

雨生红球藻中虾青素的C_(30)-反相高效液相色谱法测定

建立了雨生红球藻中虾青素的C30-反相高效液相色谱测定方法。雨生红球藻经二氯甲烷-甲醇(体积比25∶75)研磨和超声提取后,在0.5 mL 0.1 mol/L NaOH甲醇溶液中于5℃避光皂化12 h,在YMC-Ca-rotenoid C30色谱柱(250 mm×4.6 mm×5μm)上以甲醇(A)、叔丁基甲基醚(B)、1%磷酸溶液(C)为流动相梯度洗脱,采用紫外检测器在474 nm测定。在优化实验条件下,雨生红球藻中的虾青素酯可以很好地转化为游离虾青素。实验以虾青素酯和虾青素在C30色谱柱上不同的出峰时间作为判断是否皂化完全的依据。在0.1~5mg.L-1时峰强度与虾青素质量浓度呈良好线性(r=0.999 7),方法的定量下限为2 mg/kg,平均回收率为95%~108%,相对标准偏差为3.5%~14.7%。方法准确可靠,适用于雨生红球藻中虾青素含量的测定。     

Comparison of GC and HPLC Methods for Quantitative Analysis of Tinuvin 622 After Saponification in Polyethylene

This study describes the sample preparation and two chromatographic techniques for determination of Tinuvin 622 in polyethylene. The first part of the two methods consisting of dissolving the polyethylene in boiling xylene is followed by addition of a methanolic solution of potassium hydroxide. The polymeric light stabilizer, Tinuvin 622, is thereby saponified to 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidineethanol (diol). Addition of the methanolic solution of the saponification reagent simultaneously precipitates the polyethylene matrix. Then the diol is quantified using either gas chromatography (GC) or high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For GC, a Macherey Nagel Optima-17 capillary column (30m×0.25mm ID, film thickness 0.25µm) is used. Nitrogen is used as carrier gas and make-up gas. The detection system is a flame ionization detector. For HPLC, an octadecyl silane (ODS) column (30cm×4mm, particle size 5µm) and a mobile phase methanol: water mixture (3:97, v/v) are used. Detection of analyte is carried out at 215nm. Both methods can be used to determine Tinuvin 622 in polyethylene in the concentration range of 0.02–1%, which represents the usual application concentration.     

Fine‐Tuning of Saponification‐Triggered Gelation by Strategic Modification of Peripheral Substituents: Gelation Regulators

A pioneering approach towards controlling the efficiency of saponification assisted gelation in ethyl ester based Zn^II‐complexes have been described. Using four new ester containing bis‐salen Zn^II complexes ( C1–C4 ) involving different para‐azo phenyl substituted ligands it has been clearly shown that gelation efficiency is greatly influenced by the electronic effects of the substituents (‐H ( C1 ), ‐CH₃ ( C2 ), ‐NO₂ ( C3 ), and ‐OCH₃ ( C4 )). Morphological, photophysical, and rheological investigations corroborated the experimental observations well and established that gelation efficiency was enhanced with electron‐withdrawing characteristics of substituents ( C4 < C2 < C1 < C3 ). This conclusion was also supported by DFT studies.     

A convenient ultrasound‐assisted saponification for the simultaneous determination of vitamin E isomers in vegetable oil by HPLC with fluorescence detection

An efficient ultrasound‐assisted saponification was developed for simultaneous determination of vitamin E isomers in vegetable oil by high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The samples were saponified ultrasonically with potassium hydroxide solution for only 7 min, then the analytes were extracted with ether. Vitamin E isomers were separated on a C₁₈ column at 25°C with a mobile phase of methanol/acetonitrile (81:19, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Fluorescence detection was operated at 290 nm of excitation wavelength and 327 nm of emission wavelength. Under the optimized conditions, good linearities over the range of 0.001–8.00 μg/mL (r > 0.999) were obtained. Mean recoveries of the method were 88.0–106%, with intra‐ and interday RSDs less than 11.8 and 12.8%, respectively. The detection limits and quantification limits of the method were 0.30–1.8 and 1.0–6.1 μg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of this method were much higher than that of the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe method and direct dilution method, but were similar to those of hot saponification. This proposed method provides reliable, simple, and rapid quantification of vitamin E isomers in vegetable oils. Five kinds of vegetable oils were analyzed, the quantification results were within the ranges reported by other authors.
