New secoiridoid from olive mill wastewater

A new secoiridoid, olenoside A (1a) and its known epimer olenoside B (1b), were isolated from olive mill wastewater as a mixture of two isomers. Their structures, 1-methyl-7-oxo-6,6a,8,8a-tetrahydro-1H,3H-pyrano[3,4-c]pyran-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester, were determined by spectroscopic methods including 2-D NMR. The structure of major compound 1a was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.     

Electrochemical treatment of olive oil mill wastewater

The possibility of oxidizing at a PbO2 anode the phenols and polyphenols, present in the olive oil mill wastewater, has been studied as a pretreatment for the submission of such wastewater to the traditional biological treatments. The results obtained operating at current densities ranging 500 to 2000 A/m2 show that it is possible to reduce the concentration of the phenolic components, which interfere with the biological treatments, down to low values without decreasing too much the total organic content of the wastewater.

Ozonation of deciduous wood in the presence of hydrogen peroxide

The kinetic curves of the dependence of ozone specific absorption (Q _{r, sp} ) upon aspen wood ozonation in the presence and absence of hydrogen peroxide are obtained. It is established that the rate of ozone and Q _{r, sp} absorption increase in the O₃/H₂O₂ system. It is demonstrated by ESR, IR, and UV spectroscopy of diffuse reflection that wood ozonation in the O₃/H₂O₂ system results in the destruction of lignin aromatic and quinoid structures. The ozonation process in the presence of H₂O₂ is accompanied by destruction of the carbohydrate component of the lignocarbohydrate complex. We conclude that O₃/H₂O₂ can be used in the deep delignification of wood. It is shown that the presence of hydrogen peroxide upon ozonation increases the efficiency of the process, allowing its duration and total ozone consumption to be reduced.     

Transformations of furoyl peroxide and hydroperoxide in the presence of water and hydrogen peroxide

Catalytic delignification of cellulose fibers by hydrogen peroxide in presence of polyoxometalates

Peroxide delignification of cellulose fibers in acid medium in presence of polyoxometalates as catalysts was studied. The effects of the hydrogen peroxide concentration, the catalyst nature, and the addition of the alkali processing stage on the process of delignification of leafy and coniferous celluloses were investigated.     

Pretreatment of wastepaper and pulp mill sludge by aqueous ammonia and hydrogen peroxide

Pretreatment of two different softwood-based lignocellulosic wastes (newsprint and Kraft pulp mill sludge) was investigated. Pretreatment was done by aqueous ammonia and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), two delignifying reagents that are environmentally benign. Three different treatment schemes were employed: aqueous ammonia alone (ammonia recycled percolation [ARP]), mixed stream of aqueous ammonia and H₂O₂ and successive treatment with H₂O₂ and aqueous ammonia. In all cases there was a substantial degree of delignification ranging from 30 to 50%. About half of the hemicellulose sugars were dissolved into the process effluent. Retention of cellulose after pretreatment varied from 85 to 100% for newspaper feedstock and from 77 to 85% for the pulp mill sludge. After treatment with aqueous ammonia alone (ARP), the digestibility of newspaper and the pulp mill sludge was improved only by 5% (from 40 to 45% for the former and from 68 to 73% for the latter), despite a substantial degree of delignification occurring after the ARP process. The lign in content thus did not correlate with the digestibility for these substrates. Simultaneous treatment with H₂O₂ and aqueous ammonia did not bring about any significant improvement in the digestibility over that of the ARP. A succcessive treatment by H₂O₂ and ARP showed the most promise because it improved the digestibility of the newspaper from 41 to 75%, a level comparable to that of α-cellulose.     

Liquid-phase oxidation of anthracene by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of heterogenized vanadyl acetylacetonate

The synthesis of heterogenized vanadyl acetylacetonate was accomplished by alkylation of a chloromethylated styrene—divinylbenzene copolymer via activation by Co(II) complexes. The effect of heterogenization on the structure of the complexes and their catalytic properties in the peroxide oxidation of anthracene was investigated by kinetic studies and EPR spectroscopy. Increased stability during oxidation of the catalytic centers of the polymer sample as compared with homogeneous vanadyl acetylacetonate was demonstrated.Department of Fine Organic Synthesis, Institute of Chemistry, Bashkir Science Center, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg 620219.

Thermal decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of sulfuric acid

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is popularly employed as a reaction reagent in cleaning processes for the chemical industry and semiconductor plants. By using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vent sizing package 2 (VSP2), this study focused on the thermal decomposition reaction of H₂O₂ mixed with sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) with low (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 N), and high concentrations of 96 mass%, respectively. Thermokinetic data, such as exothermic onset temperature (T ₀), heat of decomposition (ΔH _d), pressure rise rate (dP/dt), and self-heating rate (dT/dt), were obtained and assessed by the DSC and VSP2 experiments. From the thermal decomposition reaction on various concentrations of H₂SO₄, the experimental data of T ₀, ΔH, dP/dt, and dT/dt were obtained. Comparisons of the reactivity for H₂O₂ and H₂O₂ mixed with H₂SO₄ (lower and higher concentrations) were evaluated to corroborate the decomposition reaction in these systems.     

Transformation of wood during ozonization in the presence of hydrogen peroxide

Samples of ozonized aspen wood pretreated with hydrogen peroxide solutions of various concentrations are investigated by UV diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray structural analysis. The general course of wood transformation under the action of the O₃/H₂O₂ system is associated with the destruction of lignin and oxidation of carbohydrates, raising the fraction of the crystalline phase in a lignocarbohydrate material. The possibility of varying the depth of the chemical and structural transformation of the substrate upon changing the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the O₃/H₂O₂ system is demonstrated.     

The ozonization of sodium lignosulfonate in the presence of hydrogen peroxide

The kinetics of ozonization of sodium lignosulfate (LS) in the presence of H₂O₂ was studied. The effective rate constants for the oxidation of LS and the total ozone consumption were determined. The k _eff = 30 ± 8 M^?1 s^?1 value was found to be independent of the concentration of H₂O₂. The total ozone consumption decreased as the concentration of H₂O₂ increased from 1.0 × 10^?4 to 1.0 × 10^?3 M because of the participation of the radicals generated in the O₃ + H₂O₂ reaction in LS transformations. The kinetic and UV and IR spectroscopy data allowed the conclusion to be drawn that the destruction of the LS aromatic system in the LS + O₃ + H₂O₂ reaction was caused by the interaction of LS with O₃, whereas radicals generated in this system contributed to deeper destruction of LS in the interaction of aliphatic LS macromolecule fragments with low-molecular-weight polymer oxidation products. The depth of polymer oxidation could be changed by varying the content of hydrogen peroxide in the system for LS ozonization.     

Kinetics of diethyl sulfide oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonocarbonate in the presence of surfactants

We have studied the effect of different surfactants on the rate of diethyl sulfide (Et₂S) oxidation by hydrogen peroxide and peroxymonocarbonate (HCO ₄ ^- ) in aqueous solutions. In all the studied cases, the rate of the reaction between Et₂S and H₂O₂ decreases as the surfactant concentration increases. The reaction of Et₂S with HCO ₄ ^- is catalyzed by cationic surfactants and inhibited by neutral and anionic surfactants.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimentalnaya Khimiya, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 368–372, November–December, 2004.

Reaction of furan compounds with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of vanadium catalysts

The reactions of furan and a number of its derivatives (furfural, furan-2-carboxylic acid, 2-furfuryl alcohol, and others), in systems containing H₂O₂ and vanadium compounds, proceed through a mechanism of radical hydoxylation of the furan ring with the formation of 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone and maleic acid. The total yield and ratio of the synthesized compounds depend on the reaction conditions.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 11, pp. 1462–1467, November, 1991.
