The environmental impacts associated with the exploitation and transformation of fossil resources aggravate the planet's situation in terms of climate change. Due to this, this paper studies an alternative use of mineral coal as a precursor to obtaining new materials with different properties to the starting coals. The thermal degradation of two Colombian semi-anthracites is analyzed through the thermogravimetry (TG) technique coupled to a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) equipment from room temperature (25 °C) to 900 °C, at a heating rate of 10 K min?1 in an inert atmosphere. The catalytic effect of the addition of silicon to these samples before being subjected to a carbonization process is evaluated during this process. The results indicated that the primary reaction occurs in the temperature range between 400 and 680 °C, where the highest mass loss rate was observed. At the end of the heating process, the TG profile of the samples with silicon addition showed losses between 14.33 and 18.82% in mass, these values being slightly higher compared to the starting and demineralized samples. The release of water, light gases such as CO2, CH4, and species such as toluene, phenol and formic acid was identified in most of the samples. The presence of silica seems to favor the release of all these species, being more evident in one of the semi-anthracites studied. According to the results obtained, it is proved that the presence of silicon in samples subjected to carbonization processes has a catalytic effect that improves some characteristics of the new materials obtained, thus contributing to the use of carbon to get new materials.
Crocins are highly valuable natural compounds for treating human disorders, and they are also high-end spices and colorants in the food industry. Due to the limitation of obtaining this type of highly polar compound, the commercial prices of crocins I and II are expensive. In this study, macroporous resin column chromatography combined with high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used to purify crocins I and II from natural sources. With only two chromatographic steps, both compounds were simultaneously isolated from the dry fruit of Gardenia jasminoides, which is a cheap herbal medicine distributed in a number of countries. In an effort to shorten the isolation time and reduce solvent usage, forward and reverse rotations were successively utilized in the HSCCC isolation procedure. Crocins I and II were simultaneously obtained from a herbal resource with high recoveries of 0.5% and 0.1%, respectively, and high purities of 98.7% and 99.1%, respectively, by HPLC analysis. The optimized preparation method was proven to be highly efficient, convenient, and cost-effective. Crocins I and II exhibited inhibitory activity against ATP citrate lyase, and their IC50 values were determined to be 36.3 ± 6.24 and 29.7 ± 7.41 μM, respectively. 相似文献
The regio-selective four step synthesis of (1S,2R,3S,4R)-4,7,7-trimethyl-3-(neopentyloxy)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol, as recognized efficient chiral auxiliary, is presented. The strategy based on opening of the key acetal 15 (=(2S,3aR,4S,7R,7aS)-2-tert-butyl-4,8,8-trimethylhexahydro-2H-4,7-methano-1,3-benzodioxole) thus circumvents the poor reactivity of the neopentyl electrophile under alkylation conditions. Following the same strategy, but using the unreported acetal 22 (=(2R,3aS,4S,7R,7aR)-2-tert-butyl-4,8,8-trimethylhexahydro-2H-4,7-methano-1,3-benzodioxole), the corresponding unreported bis-endo alcohol 23 (=(1R,2R,3S,4S)-3-(2,2-dimethylpropoxy)-4,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol) could be isolated only in poor yield. An alternative regioselective synthesis, including an ultimate endo-reduction remains to be found. Several erroneous chiroptical properties from the literature are corrected. 相似文献
In this study, the thermal behavior in terms of glass transition (Tg), degradation, and thermal stability of four commercial new-generation posterior bulk fill composites (Surefill SDR, Dentsply; Quixfill, Dentsply; Xtrabase, Voco; and Xtrafill, Voco) activated by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The activation energies (Ea) for the decomposition of the dental resins were calculated based on the Kissinger and Doyle kinetic models from the peaks of the endothermic curves obtained when the specimens were heated at four different temperatures (5, 10, 15, and 20 °C min?1) during DSC. The results show that the Xtrabase composite displayed the highest Tg (120 °C at a 5 °C min?1 heating rate) and Ea (157.64 kJ mol?1) values associated with thermal degradation from the main chain of the polymer. 相似文献
