Electrooxidation and adsorption of oligoelthylene glycols on platinized platinum electrode

The trends in adsorption and oxidation of oligoethylene glycols (OEG), namely, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycol, on a Pt/Pt electrode are studied. Using a combination of methods of open-circuit potential shifts at the adsorption of organic species and anodic voltammetric curves, it is established that the OEG adsorption on a Pt/Pt electrode is accompanied by hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and partial destruction of molecules and also that the amount and composition of accumulated adsorbate depend on the initial adsorption potential and the polymer structure. The OEG oxidation on a platinum electrode is considerably hindered as compared with ethylene glycol. The reaction rate decreases with an increase in the OEG molecular mass and is largely limited by the adsorption of molecules on the electrode surface, which is evidenced by the weak dependence of the rate on the potential in the double layer region.     

Über die Möglichkeit einer strahlenchemischen Reinigung von Abwässern,die Dodezylbenzolsulfonat und Nonylphelylpolyglykoläther enthalten

Es wurde die Möglichkeit des strahlenchemischen Abbaus einiger Detergenzien untersucht, die in Abwässern enthalten sind. Es wurde festgestellt, daß von den oberflächenaktiven Substanzen (OFAS) die den Hauptteil der aktiven Substanz der Detergenzien darstellen, die ionogenen (z. B. Dodezylbenzolsulfonat) bei verhältnismäßig niedrigeren Dosen zersetzt werden als die nichtionogenen (z. B. Nonylphenylpolyglykoläther). Bei gleicher Konzentration beider Stoffe bewirken Dosen in der Größenordnung von 5 bis 6 kGy einen höheren Grad des Abbaus bei Dodezylbenzolsulfonat als Dosen von 10 bis 20 kGy beim Nonylphenylpolyglykoläther. Versuche mit realen Abwässern, die die Präparate ?Biopon”, ?Alkasuper” und ?Kitka” enthalten, bestätigen die erkannte Gesetzmäßigkeit und zeigen die Perspektive eines strahlenchemischen Abbaus für die Reinigung von Abwässern, die ionogenc OFAS enthalten.     

Poly (ethylene terephthalate) thermo-mechanical and thermo-oxidative degradation mechanisms

¹H NMR and MALDI-TOF MS measurements were used to study the thermo-mechanical and thermo-oxidative degradation mechanisms of bottle-grade PET (btg-PET). In the thermo-oxidative degradation, the concentration of low molar mass compounds increased with time and the main products were cyclic and linear di-acid oligomers. In the thermo-mechanical degradation, the main-chain scission reactions affect the stability of the cyclic oligomers. One of the most important bottle-grade PET co-monomers is diethylene glycol (DEG), which is a “reactive site” in the thermal degradation of btg-PET. The DEG co-monomer was shown to be the precursor to colour changes in btg-PET, owing to the attack by molecular oxygen on the methylenic protons adjacent to the ether oxygen atoms of DEG. This behaviour was observed in the thermo-oxidative degradation process in which the degradation of DEG causes the release of hydroxyl radicals in the polymeric matrix, thereby producing mono- and di-hydroxyl substituted species. This was also observed in the thermo-mechanical degradation process.

荧光光谱法辨别丙二醇和二甘醇

以齐药二厂的假药事件为背景,对1,2-丙二醇、1,3-丙二醇和二甘醇的吸收光谱和荧光光谱进行了测量,实验结果证明光谱法不失为一种快捷有效的区分手段.在紫外吸收光谱中,可以通过最大吸光度的差异区分二甘醇和丙二醇;在一定紫外波长激励下,三种醇的荧光光谱特性均存在差异,以此可以对三种醇作出有效区分;在230nm激发下,将二甘醇和两种丙二醇分别混合,混合溶液的相对荧光强度均与两种丙二醇体积比呈线性反比关系,这在一定程度上证明了二甘醇的荧光量子效率大于两种丙二醇.     

Preparative regioselective acylation of glycols by enzymatic transesterification in organic solvents

Porcine pancreatic lipase can catalyze transesterification reac tions in organic solvents in a highly regioselective manner. Lipase powder was suspended in solutions of various diols in ethyl carboxylates, and the mixtures were shaken at 30°C; as a result, pri mary monoesters of glycols were produced on a preparative scale.     

Kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) glycolysis by diethylene glycol. Part II: Effect of temperature, catalyst and polymer morphology

The influence of various parameters on the kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) glycolysis by diethylene glycol (DEG), namely temperature (from 190 to 220 °C), temperature profile, catalysis and PET morphology has been studied.The results showed a strong influence of some experimental conditions (temperature and catalysis) on the mixture evolution during depolymerisation. The temperature study showed a critical temperature between 210 and 220 °C which seems to be the consequence of a better diffusion of DEG in PET, allowing easier reactions in solid phase. The initial morphology of PET scraps does not affect the rates of reactions much, in contrast to the temperature profile which has a great importance: time of PET dissolution at 220 °C is considerably shorter by heating PET and DEG separately at 220 °C before mixing, than by heating a cold mixture of the two reagents to 220 °C.     

Unprecedented cyclisations of calix[4]arenes with glycols under the Mitsunobu protocol. Part 1: A new perspective for the synthesis of calixcrowns

Selective ring closures of p-tert-butylthiacalix[4]arene and p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene with oligoethylene glycols were performed under the Mitsunobu protocol using the DEAD/TPP system. The method opens a new perspective for the syntheses of 1,3-calixcrowns.
