The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) recently completed a detailed engineering and economic analysis of the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) based wood-to-ethanol process. The reference-case design was based on a plant capacity of 1920 dry t/d and a wood cost of $42/dry t. For this case, the preliminary estimate of the production cost of the ethanol product is about $1.22/gal. The combined effects of optimizing SSF enzyme loading, increasing plant capacity to 10,000 dry t/d, and reducing wood cost to $34/dry t are to reduce the preliminary estimate of the production cost to about $0.95/gal. Other technological improvements may further reduce the production cost. Certain technical assumptions, inherent in the analysis, are being investigated further.
(?)-(4S,16S)-8, 12-bis[de(2-carboxyethyl)]mesourobilin-IIIα hydrochloride ( 8 ) has been synthesized from the enantiomerically pure 1,4,5,10-tetrahydro-1-oxodipyrrin-9-carboxylic-acid precursor 6a whose absolute configuration was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis of the N-[(S)-1-(1-naphthyl)ethyl] carboxamide 7b . The present results prove unequivocally that an (S,S)-configurated urobilin chromophore displays a negative Cotton effect in the VIS absorption range. However, the helicity of the inherently dissymmetric chromophore remains undetermined. 相似文献
The System V–Cr–N has been investigated at 1100 and 1400 °C and at nitrogen pressures between 1 and 1000 atmospheres by X-ray techniques. VN and CrN on the one hand and V2N and Cr2N on the other are forming complete series of solid solutions. The phase field of the mononitride solid solution is dependent on nitrogen pressure and temperature conditions.Auszug aus der Diplomarbeit des Herrn Dipl.-Ing. Dr.W. Schebesta. 相似文献
An effective traceless solid-phase synthesis of chloro-diaminopyrimidines via an amino-de-chlorination reaction of polymer-bound 4-alkoxycarbonylamino-2,6-dichloropyrimidines has been developed. After release from the polymer the target molecules were obtained in good to excellent purity, although with modest regiocontrol. Further reaction of solid-supported N-alkoxycarbonyl-chloro-diaminopyrimidines with secondary amines afforded triaminopyrimidines in good purity under mild conditions, whereas less nucleophilic primary amines did not perform well under the conditions explored so far. 相似文献
Abstract— Brief high temperature treatments, applied early in the pregerminative period to radiation-requiring seeds of lettuce, inhibited both dark and radiation-induced germination. The inhibition increased with increasing incubation temperature. There was little difference in the germination percentage whether the inductive irradiation was applied before or after the high temperature treatment. When the high temperature treatment preceded induction, there was an increase in the radiation dosage required for maximum germination. These findings are interpreted in terms of lability of physiologically active phytochrome to higher temperatures. 相似文献

Two new imidoylnitrenes and alkoxycarbonylnitrene form a sequence of reactivities : Only ROCON attacks CH bonds, it and ROC(NCN)N convert benzene to azepines. Benzene is not attacked by ROC(NSO2CH3)N, but all three nitrenes react with olefins, alcohols, etc. 相似文献
Most alkyl phenyl sulfones are readily alpha-chlorinated with CCl(4) and alpha-brominated with CBrCl3 in KOH-t-BuOH via radical-anion radical pair (RARP) reactions. While isopropyl mesityl sulfone (4) is easily alpha-chlorinated with CCl(4), it was completely recovered when treated with the more reactive CBrCl3. Subsequent investigations showed the latter result to be due to the poor acidity of 4 together with the rapid depletion of CBrCl3 and KOH by their reaction with each other, and led to a variety of other important results. 4-Hydroxyphenyl isopropyl sulfone (6) is unreactive with either CCl4 or CBrCl3 in KOH-t-BuOH, its phenoxide anion strongly reducing the electronegativity of the sulfonyl group, thereby inhibiting alpha-anion formation. This effect is reversed by the electron-withdrawing influence of two alpha-phenyls, so that benzhydryl 4-hydroxyphenyl sulfone (8) is readily alpha-halogenated in KOH-t-BuOH with CCl4 or CBrCl3. On further contact with KOH-t-BuOH the alpha-halogenated sulfones from 8 are decomposed into benzophenone and phenol. While the alpha-halogenated derivatives of 4-methoxyphenyl benzhydryl sulfone (9) are stable to base, they are decomposed even under mildly acidic conditions into 4-methoxyphenyl 4-methoxybenzenethiolsulfonate (9c), phenol, and benzophenone. Mono-alpha-halogenation of benzyl phenyl sulfone (10) enhances the rate of the subsequent halogenation, so that alpha,alpha-dihalogenation is attained while much substrate is still present and the mono-alpha-halogenated product is not detected. The ease of reductive debromination of alpha-bromo sulfones with Cl3C- was correlated with the stability of the formed alpha-anions, explaining the success with alpha-bromobenzylic sulfones but failure with alpha-bromoalkyl sulfones. In the presence of air and the absence of competing halogenation, formation of the alpha-anions of alkyl aryl sulfones is quickly accompanied by oxidative cleavage by atmospheric O2, leading to the formation of arenesulfonyl alcohols, arenesulfonyl halides, and haloarenes. 相似文献
