Sorption of aliphatic ketones from aqueous solutions by starch cryotextures

Capillary gas chromatography was applied to study the sorption of aliphatic ketones (C₆—C₁₁), including metamers, from aqueous solutions by corn starch cryotextures. The amount of ketones sorbed by cryotextures depends linearly on their concentrations in the initial sol. Equations describing the concentration dependence of sorption were proposed. The shape of sorption isotherms reflects the strength of sorption. The binding constants and the number of binding sites were determined for weakly sorbed ketones. The length of alkyl substituent and the position of the functional group are the crucial factors governing the sorption of ketones under conditions of excess binding sites. It was found that the degree of sorption increases with an increase in the carbon chain length from 6 to 9 carbon atoms. The presence of cooperation of binding sites for ketone sorption by cryotextures was demonstrated. The major part of ketones is sorbed irreversibly. This fact points to the formation of supramolecular complexes. Ketones with lower molecular masses are better sorbed by cryotextures than by native starch grains.     

Highly sensitive determination of haloperidol in human serum by capillary gas chromatography using a surface ionization detector

A method has been developed for highly sensitive determination of haloperidol in human serum involving a simple extraction procedure followed by gas chromatographic separation. Target components were separated from the extracting solvents with a Van den Berg type solventless sample injector before introduction Into a DB-1 capillary separation column. A surface ionization detector (SID), which has highly selective sensitivity for Substituted amines, was employed for quantitation using bromperidol as an internal standard. Chloroform proved to be the best extracting solvent, yielding a quantitative detection limit of 5 ng/ml (S/N = 2). Comparison of the response to target compounds obtained by the SID, FTD (flame thermionic detector), and FID (flame ionization detector) showed the SID to be superior.     

Nanostructural Approach to Proton Ordering in Gas Hydrate Cages

A nanostructural approach to analysis of proton ordering in gas hydrate cages has been worked out within the framework of the topological model of strong and weak H-bonds. The approach involves rejection of the periodic boundary conditions, decomposition of the H-bond net into spherical layers, and two-dimensional drawing of the structure of spherical (spheroidal) fragments in the form of conjugate Schlegel diagrams. To analyze proton ordering in the spherical fragments composed of gas hydrate voids, we used the simulated annealing procedure and the correlation extension method proposed earlier.

Influence of biomass on hydrodynamics of an internal loop airlift reactor

The effect of the biomass presence on the overall circulation velocity, the linear velocities both in the riser and the downcomer and the overall gas hold-up was studied in a three-phase internal loop airlift reactor (ILALR). The measured data were compared with those obtained using a two-phase system (air—water). All experiments were carried out in a 40 dm³ ILALR at six different biomass concentrations (ranging from 0 g dm⁻³ to 7.5 g dm⁻³), at a temperature of 30°C, under atmospheric pressure. Air and water were used as the gas and liquid model media, respectively. Pellets of Aspergillus niger produced during the fermentation of glucose to gluconic acid in the ILALR were considered solid phase. In addition, liquid velocities were measured during the fermentation of glucose to gluconic acid using Aspergillus niger. All measurements were performed in a bubble circulation regime. At given experimental conditions the effect of the biomass on the circulation velocities in the ILALR was negligible. However, increasing of the biomass concentration led to lower values of the total gas hold-up.

A simple isotherm equation for describing gas adsorption on heterogeneous microporous solids

A simple isotherm equation for describing gas adsorption on solids showing heterogeneity of microporous structure is proposed. It is shown that this equation gives a good representation of the experimental data of argon, nitrogen and benzene adsorption on different types of activated carbons. Its parameters may be used to characterize heterogeneity of microporous structure of the solids.

Thermogravimetric study of polyacrylamide with evolved gas analysis

Dried samples of polyacrylamide in an He atmosphere have been subjected to thermogravimetric analysis in the 30–600°C range, and the evolved gases were monitored by FTIR. Water, ammonia, and small quantities of carbon dioxide are released in the first stages of decomposition (220–340°C), where the polymer chains remain intact and the reaction occurs on the pendant amide groups. In the second stage of decomposition (340–440°C), the majority of the weight loss occurs, and main chain breakdown occurs, releasing carbon dioxide, water, nitrile compounds, and imides. Trapping of the gases in this stage and analysis by GC–FTIR and GC–MS reveals the presence of more than 20 decomposition products, and confirms that a large proportion of these can be assigned to glutarimide and its substituted analogs. Imidization and dehydration reactions on the amide groups, as well as free radical breakdown of the main chains, with inter- and intramolecular hydrogen transfer, can account for many of the products of the decomposition. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of a poly(diphenylacetylene) containing carbazolyl groups

1-(p-N-Carbazolylphenyl)-2-phenylacetylene (p-CzDPA) was polymerized by TaCl₅–co-catalyst systems (cocatalysts: n-Bu₁Sn, Et₃SiH, and 9BBN) to produce acetone-insoluble polymers in about 60-70% yields. Poly(p-CzDPA) was a yellowish-orange solid, most part of which was soluble in toluene, chloroform, etc., and its weight-average molecular weights were around 4×10⁵. This polymer formed a tough film by solution casting, and was thermally very stable (the onset temperature of weight loss in TGA in air 470°C). The oxygen per-meability coefficient of the polymer at 25°C was lower than two barrers. The present polymer showed photoconductivity and redox activity. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
