The productive scientific career of Charles Pedersen (October 3, 1904–October 26, 1989)

Charles Pedersen's career is reviewed from the time of his early life in Korea and Japan and scientific training in the United States to the present. His 42-year research career was practically and scientifically productive, leading finally to a share of the Nobel prize in chemistry for 1987. Commercially significant accomplishments included a large improvement in the yield of tetraethylead antiknock and discovery of the first oil soluble agents for inhibiting catalytic effects of copper in degradation of petroleum products and rubber. This led to a study of the interactions of metals with chelating agents and the resultant effects on oxidation reactions, thence to the behavior of peroxides and their reactions with substrates. He also discovered the antiknock activity of ferrocene. While studying the effects of ligands on the catalytic behavior of vanadium he discovered the crown compounds and their ability to include alkali metal ions. He devoted the last years of his career to elaborating their chemistry.Taken in part with permission fromCurrent Topics in Macrocyclic Chemistry in Japan, E.

Measurement of water by oven evaporation using a novel oven design. 2. Water in motor oils and motor oil additives

The measurement of water in lubricating oils is important because water accelerates the corrosion of metal parts and bearings in motors. Some of the additives added to lubricating oils to improve their performance react with the Karl Fischer reagent (KFR) causing a positive bias in the water measurement. A new oven evaporation technique for measuring water in oils has been developed that is automated, requires less sample handling, is easily calibrated, and is capable of measuring relatively small mass fractions of water (50 mg/kg sample). A series of motor oils was analyzed with the standard KFR, a reagent that detects interfering substances that reduce iodine, and the aldehyde–ketone reagent that does not detect substances that react with methanol and form water. The oil samples were heated to 107°C and then reheated to 160°C. At both temperatures, material was measured by both KFRs, but only zinc dithiophosphate released sulfur compounds that would react with the reagent that detects interfering substances. Mass fractions of between 20 and 70% of the volatile material released at either temperature were measured with the standard KFR but not with the aldehyde–ketone reagent. These results demonstrate that there are a number of sources of positive bias in the measurement of water in motor oils and that the standard KFR cannot be used to measure water in motor oils and motor oil additives. These results also indicate that some of the material reacts with methanol to form water. Finally, these results suggest that some of the material that is volatile at 160°C and not at 107°C may be water that is physically occluded or may be substances that react with diethyleneglycol monomethylether to produce water.

Hydrodistillation–Solvent Microextraction and GC–MS Identification of Volatile Components of Artemisia aucheri

A new, simple hydrodistillation–solvent microextraction (HD–SME) technique has been used for analysis of the volatile components of the aerial parts of Artemisia aucheri. The components were collected in a single microdrop, and this was injected directly for gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric (GC–MS) analysis. The effects on extraction efficiency of extraction solvent, sample mass, microdrop volume, and extraction time were optimized by use of a simplex method. The identities of the components of HD–SME extracts were confirmed according to their retention indexes and mass spectra with those of standards. Forty components were extracted and identified by use of the method; 1,8-cineol (22.8%), chrysanthenone (18.16%), α-pinene (8.33%), and mesitylene (7.41%) were the major constituents. The results obtained from the microextraction method were compared with those obtained by conventional hydrodistillation.     

Bio‐based copolymers obtained through miniemulsion copolymerization of methyl esters of acrylated fatty acids and styrene

Polymers based on renewable sources are promising materials, and can find many uses in coatings and adhesive applications. The goal of this work was to synthesize and characterize bio‐based styrene/acrylated fatty acid methyl ester (AFAME) copolymer—poly(styrene‐co‐AFAME) prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. The main strategy adopted was to functionalize the bio‐monomer with acrylic acid that was confirmed by ¹H NMR and FTIR measurements, to allow its free‐radical homo‐ or copolymerization with styrene. Poly(styrene‐co‐AFAME) with different AFAME content were obtained and their composition were evaluated by ¹H NMR. Dynamic light scattering measurements throughout the reactions have indicated a very stable colloidal systems and average particles size ranges 100–150 nm. The structural and physical properties of poly(styrene‐co‐AFAME) were investigated by DTG‐DTA, DSC which displayed a decreasing of glass transition temperature with increase of AFAME content. The results showed in this study have indicated that the poly(styrene‐co‐AFAME) can be used in several fields because their characteristics are totally distinct. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

熔盐热裂解大豆油的特性研究

以大豆油为原料,在ZnCl₂-KCl熔融盐体系中考察了进料速量、载气流量、反应温度及进料量对其热裂解的影响。采用气相色谱-质谱联用仪(GC-MS)表征生物油组成。结果表明,进料速量和载气流量主要通过改变大豆油的反应停留时间影响裂解效果。当进料速率为1.2 g/min及不通载气时,大豆油停留时间较长,裂解较充分;随着温度升高,生物油得率增大,含氧化合物含量及酸值上升;随着进料量增大,生物油得率稳定在70%左右,但脱羧效果有所下降。经过催化加氢,生物油性质得到了明显的改善,组分分布与0^#柴油分布大体相似。
