Es wurden entweder Lösungsmittelsysteme mit Dimethylformamid oder Formamid als stationäre und Hexan, Cyklohexan, Benzol, Chloroform und ihre Gemische als mobile Phase oder mit Paraffinöl imprägnierte Papiere und das Gemisch Dimethylformamid—Methylalkohol—Wasser als mobile Phase angewendet.

Summary A Chromatographic method has been developed for the separation and identification of the polyethylene glycols and their mono-ethers after conversion into the esters of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid. The solvent systems employed consisted of dimethylformamide or formamide as stationary phase and hexane, cyclohexane, benzene, chloroform and their mixtures as mobile phase, or papers impregnated with paraffin oil and the mixture of dimethyl-formamide-methyl alcohol were used as the mobile phase.

Charge transfer across a polymer gel/liquid interface: determination of ionophores

An electrochemical method for the determination of the ionophores monensin and lasalocid was developed, based on the polarization of an agar gel/nitrobenzene electrolyte interface. The measured current corresponding to the facilitated ion transfer across this interface is directly proportional to the concentration of an ionophore dissolved in the organic phase. Using cyclic voltammetry in a three-electrode system the detection limit for both ionophores is about 3 × 10^?5 M.

The effect of mechanical activation on the thermal decomposition of chalcopyrite

Experimental results on the influence of preliminary mechanical activation on the thermal decomposition of chalcopyrite are presented and discussed. The following experimental facts were found:

Peroxides of higher aliphatic ethers

The oxidation of higher aliphatic ethers with oxygen at 50° yields two peroxides as the main oxidation products for each ether, namely a dihydroperoxy-dialkyl ether and a dihydroperoxy-dialkyl peroxide. The mass spectra of these compounds are recorded and the main fragmentation pattern is discussed.     

Chemical conversion of various celluloses to glucose and its derivatives in supercritical water

The supercritical water biomass conversion system was designed and developed in our laboratory. The reaction vessel with cellulose sample was treated with this system at supercritical state of water for a designated period (3–105s) under the conditions of a tin bath temperature of 500°C and pressure of 35MPa. The recovered products of hydrolysates were then analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The obtained results indicated that a high amount of glucose and levoglucosan can be achieved from both celluloses I and II for 5–10s supercritical treatment, while that from starch for 3–5s treatment. Although this difference could be due to a difference in the molecular structure between cellulose and starch, a difference between celluloses I and II was not significant. Instead, an accessibility of the water towards cellulose molecules seemed to be significant for their chemical conversion. With the longer treatment, amounts of these compounds observed were decreased due to decomposition. Therefore, it may be concluded that, compared with acid hydrolysis or enzymatic saccharification, cellulose may be hydrolyzed to glucose and its derivatives more or less to the same degree as in corn starch under supercritical state. This finding suggests that the supercritical treatment can overcome the difficulties in hydrolyzing cellulose to glucose, found in the acid hydrolysis or enzymatic saccharification techniques.     

Exchange of halogen bonded on aromatic core. Heterogeneous catalysis—I : Reaction mechanism of iodine exchange in o-iodobenzoic acid

Reaction mechanism of halogen exchange between arylhalogenide and halogenide anion is studied in a case when the aromatic core is inactivated with respect to the S_NAr substitution by other substituents. The exchange of iodine between o-iodobenzoic acid and ¹³¹I labelled NaI serves as a modelling reaction. The reaction was found to proceed heterogeneously on a glass surface. In the case of a rapid course of the surface reaction the reaction mechanism is more complicated and the equation derived by McKay cannot be applied for expressing the time dependence of the degree of isotopic exchange. Reaction mechanism was proposed for this reaction and compared with experimental data.     

Structure—activity relationships for <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vitro</Emphasis> oxime reactivation of chlorpyrifos-inhibited acetylcholinesterase

Organophosphorus pesticides parathion, chlorpyrifos, and malathion inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) via phosphorylation of its active site. AChE reactivators and anticholinergics are compounds used as antidotes in the case of intoxication by these AChE inhibitors. In this work, chlorpyrifos, a representative member of this pesticide family, was used to inhibit the AChE activity of rat brain. The effect of twenty-one structurally different AChE reactivators was tested in vitro and subsequently, the relationship between their chemical structure and biological activity was outlined.     

Evaluation of the residual stability of polyurethane automotive coatings by DSC

Degradation of poly(ester-urethanes), poly(ether-urethanes) and poly(acrylic-urethanes), as a base for automotive paintings in interior applications, has been studied by DSC. The samples were clearcoat and black-pigmented paints, unstabilized and stabilized with HALS Tinuvin 292, UV absorber Tinuvin 1130 and antioxidant Hostanox O3, exposed to weathering in Xenotest and in Arizona desert. From the dependences of oxidation onset temperature on the heating rate, the kinetic parameters enabling to calculate the oxidation induction time for a chosen temperature have been obtained. From the values of oxidation induction time, the protection factors of the additives and the residual stability of the polymer after an ageing stress has been evaluated. It has been shown that the equivalence between the two methods of weathering depends on the polymer composition. A new criterion for the evaluation of synergism/antagonism of additives in the stabilizing mixture has been proposed.
