Retention Mechanism of Phenolic Compounds in Subcritical Water Chromatography

The transfer enthalpies and entropies of hydroxyl and nitryl in different mobile phase systems were compared by van't Hoff curve. Results suggest that the presence of acetonitrile and methanol in the mobile phase may decrease the interaction of solute and stationary phase with respect to subcritical water, thereby reducing the contribution of enthalpy to the retention. Retention mechanisms of phenolic compound appear to be more similar in subcritical water and water/methanol systems on the PRP-1 column. Hydrogen bond in subcritical water system plays a very important role in the retention of the phenols.     

Subcritical water extraction of organic matter from sedimentary rocks

Subcritical water extraction of organic matter containing sedimentary rocks at 300 °C and 1500 psi produces extracts comparable to conventional solvent extraction. Subcritical water extraction of previously solvent extracted samples confirms that high molecular weight organic matter (kerogen) degradation is not occurring and that only low molecular weight organic matter (free compounds) are being accessed in analogy to solvent extraction procedures. The sedimentary rocks chosen for extraction span the classic geochemical organic matter types. A type I organic matter-containing sedimentary rock produces n-alkanes and isoprenoidal hydrocarbons at 300 °C and 1500 psi that indicate an algal source for the organic matter. Extraction of a rock containing type II organic matter at the same temperature and pressure produces aliphatic hydrocarbons but also aromatic compounds reflecting the increased contributions from terrestrial organic matter in this sample. A type III organic matter-containing sample produces a range of non-polar and polar compounds including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and oxygenated aromatic compounds at 300 °C and 1500 psi reflecting a dominantly terrestrial origin for the organic materials. Although extraction at 300 °C and 1500 psi produces extracts that are comparable to solvent extraction, lower temperature steps display differences related to organic solubility. The type I organic matter produces no products below 300 °C and 1500 psi, reflecting its dominantly aliphatic character, while type II and type III organic matter contribute some polar components to the lower temperature steps, reflecting the chemical heterogeneity of their organic inventory. The separation of polar and non-polar organic compounds by using different temperatures provides the potential for selective extraction that may obviate the need for subsequent preparative chromatography steps. Our results indicate that subcritical water extraction can act as a suitable replacement for conventional solvent extraction of sedimentary rocks, but can also be used for any organic matter containing mineral matrix, including soils and recent sediments, and has the added benefit of tailored extraction for analytes of specific polarities.

Maillard and Hydrolytic Reactions in Subcritical Water Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Licorice

Nowadays, subcritical water extraction (SWE) techniques are extensively investigated worldwide, while the thermal reactions that inevitably occur under subcritical water conditions are rarely studied. In order to investigate the behaviors of the different reactions during SWE of bioactive compounds from licorice, the Maillard reaction process was accessed via their products and the hydrolytic reaction was analyzed according to the kinetic parameters. In addition, the contents of total phenolics and flavonoids in the extracts obtained at the different temperatures were determined and total antioxidant capacities were evaluated by HPLC-ABTS⁺. The results showed that flavonoids and phenolics from licorice as well as new compounds generated via the Maillard reaction contributed to the antioxidant activity of the extracts. The fluorescence, color and absorbance of the extracts showed that the degree of the Maillard reaction increased with the rise of the extraction temperature. The kinetics of extraction for glycyrrhizic acid showed that it was firstly extracted by diffusion, and then was hydrolyzed into glycyrrhetinic acid 3-O-mono-β-D-glucuronide and glycyrrhetinic acid following a first-order mechanism. These findings could provide deep insights into the SWE process and a new method for producing glycyrrhetinic acid 3-O-mono-β-D-glucuronide and glycyrrhetinic acid.     

亚临界水萃取在分析化学中的应用

亚临界水的介电常数ε随温度增加而减少,在250℃时ε值只有27（介于甲醇与乙醇之间）,比常温常压下下水的介电常数ε＝80下降了许多。亚临界水极性的减弱,使它对中极性和非极性有机化合物的溶解度大大增加,可以定量萃取出固体试样中的多环芳烃和多氯联苯化合物。另外,亚临界水也可以作为反相高效液体色谱的洗脱液。     

Subcritical Water Extraction of Salvia miltiorrhiza

In this work, a green extraction technique, subcritical water extraction (SBWE), was employed to extract active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from an important Chinese medicinal herb, Salvia miltiorrhiza (danshen), at various temperatures. The APIs included tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, protocatechualdehyde, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid. Traditional herbal decoction (THD) of Salvia miltiorrhiza was also carried out for comparison purposes. Reproduction assay of herbal extracts obtained by both SBWE and THD were then conducted on Caenorhabditis elegans so that SBWE conditions could be optimized for the purpose of developing efficacious herbal medicine from Salvia miltiorrhiza. The extraction efficiency was mostly enhanced with increasing extraction temperature. The quantity of tanshinone I in the herbal extract obtained by SBWE at 150 °C was 370-fold higher than that achieved by THD extraction. Reproduction evaluation revealed that the worm reproduction rate decreased and the reproduction inhibition rate increased with elevated SBWE temperatures. Most importantly, the reproduction inhibition rate of the SBWE herbal extracts obtained at all four temperatures investigated was higher than that of traditional herbal decoction extracts. The results of this work show that there are several benefits of subcritical water extraction of medicinal herbs over other existing herbal medicine preparation techniques. Compared to THD, the thousand-year-old and yet still popular herbal preparation method used in herbal medicine, subcritical water extraction is conducted in a closed system where no loss of volatile active pharmaceutical ingredients occurs, although analyte degradation may happen at higher temperatures. Temperature optimization in SBWE makes it possible to be more efficient in extracting APIs from medicinal herbs than the THD method. Compared to other industrial processes of producing herbal medicine, subcritical water extraction eliminates toxic organic solvents. Thus, subcritical water extraction is not only environmentally friendly but also produces safer herbal medicine for patients.

Optimization of Adiponitrile Hydrolysis in Subcritical Water Using an Orthogonal Array Design

A study of the hydrolysis of adiponitrile (ADN) was performed in subcritical water to research the dependence on experimental conditions. An L₂₅(5⁶) orthogonal array design (OAD) with six factors at five levels using statistical analysis was employed to optimize the experimental conditions for each product in which the interactions between the variables were temporarily neglected. The six factors were adiponitrile concentration (ADN c, wt%), temperature (T), time (t h), percentage of additives (reactant/additive, wt/wt%), additives (A), and pressure (p, MPa). The effects of these parameters were investigated using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the relationship between experimental conditions and yield levels of different products. The results showed that (ADN c) and T had a significant influence on the yields of adipamide, adipamic acid, and adipic acid at p<0.05. Time was the statistically significant factor for the yield of 5-cyanovalermic acid at p<0.05 and (ADN c) was the significant factor for the yield of 5-cyanovaleramide at p<0.1. Finally, five supplementary experiments were conducted under optimized conditions predicted by the Taguchi method; the results showed that the yield obtained of each product was no lower than that of the highest in the 25 experiments. Carbon balance was calculated to demonstrate the validity of the experimental technique and the reliability of the results. Based on the experimental results, a possible reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Extraction of Organic Compounds from Aqueous Media by Amberlite XAD Resins

Abstract

Three Amberlite polymeric resins, XAD-2, XAD-4 and XAD-7, were evaluated for extraction efficiency from aqueous media of several organic compounds representing pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, phenols and phthalate esters. The three resins exhibited different extraction characteristics. The extraction efficiency of the resins was found to be dependent on pH conditions and, on the average, was best at pH7. At this pH the XAD-2 and XAD-4 resins yielded quantitative recoveries in the 90–100% range for most compounds at the 20–200ppb level. Recoveries by XAD-7 resins were lower for several compounds. The recovery of aldrin and o, p DDT under all conditions was relatively low (>68%) and showed a higher degree of variability than that obtained for the other compounds. Alkaline pH conditions were generally unfavourable for the extraction of phenolic compounds but acidification to pH2 was not found to be a necessary step for the quantitative extraction of the phenolic compounds. Acidification to pH2 further led to a decrease in the recovery of most compounds for XAD-4 resins. A combined resin column yielded extraction efficiencies comparable to the XAD-2 column at pH 7, but since the three resins possess different extraction characteristics, a mixture comprising all three is recommended for the preconcentration of organic compounds from environmental water samples containing a wide range of compounds.

基于混合型遗传算法的森林可燃物热解动力学参数优化方法

森林可燃物热解动力学参数的优化计算是构建综合热解模型的关键步骤。传统的基于梯度的优化方法收敛速度快但全局寻优能力不足,基于“生物进化理论”的遗传算法具有全局寻优能力但收敛速度慢。本研究首先探讨了单纯的遗传算法对初始值设置的依赖,发现设定合适的初始值能够稳定计算结果,加快算法的收敛速度。针对初始值未知的情况,本文提出了将单纯的遗传算法与迭代算法相结合构建混合型遗传算法的流程。然后以樟子松松枝为例,采用热重分析仪开展了森林可燃物热解实验。假设可燃物热解失重过程遵循三步一级平行反应模型,通过对比单纯遗传算法和混合型遗传算法的收敛过程,发现混合型遗传算法能够快速地获取全局最优的动力学参数,显著地提高遗传算法的优化性能。

Pressurized Hot Water Extraction of anthocyanins from red onion: A study on extraction and degradation rates

Pressurized Hot Water Extraction (PHWE) is a quick, efficient and environmentally friendly technique for extractions. However, when using PHWE to extract thermally unstable analytes, extraction and degradation effects occur at the same time, and thereby compete. At first, the extraction effect dominates, but degradation effects soon take over. In this paper, extraction and degradation rates of anthocyanins from red onion were studied with experiments in a static batch reactor at 110 °C. A total extraction curve was calculated with data from the actual extraction and degradation curves, showing that more anthocyanins, 21-36% depending on the species, could be extracted if no degradation occurred, but then longer extraction times would be required than those needed to reach the peak level in the apparent extraction curves. The results give information about the different kinetic processes competing during an extraction procedure.     

Thermal Degradation of HDPE in a Batch Pressure Reactor: Reaction Time and Mechanical Stirring Effect

The effect of reaction time and mechanical stirring on thermal degradation of high density polyethylene(HDPE) was studied at 350°C under nitrogen atomosphere in a batch pressure reactor. Changes in molecular weight(MW), molecular weight distribution (MWD), and crystalline behaviors of the degraded products were investigated by gel chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that MWD curves all shifted toward lower molecular weight with increasing reaction time, with both the extent of the movement and its showing a rapid initial drop and then leveling off. In a short period of reaction time, the MW, MWD and crystalline behaviors of the degraded products were affected notably by the mechanical stirring. The of the degraded products without stirring was lower than that of products with stirring in the same time, which should be related to the large difference of temperature distributions in the reactor. When the reaction time reached 4 h, the of the degraded products had dropped to about 5 × 10³g/mol from about 3 × 10⁵g/mol for the original , and the product did not show the melting and crystallization behaviors of high density polyethylene again.
