Effect of small amounts of poly(lactic acid) on the recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles
2011
Abstract Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the most used commodity polymers, especially for food and beverage applications, and its recycling is of great importance because of the possible use in the textile and construction industries. On the other hand, the interest in biodegradable polymers has led, in recent years, to the use of materials such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA) also in the food and beverage industry. The presence of small amounts of PLA in the PET waste can significantly affect the post-consumer recycling process. In this work, the effect of the presence of small amounts of PLA on the recycling of PET bottles is investigated by rheological, mechanical, morphological …
Wastewater modification processes in a stabilization reservoir: a new mathematical model
2018
The paper presents a mathematical model for the simulation of the ecology of a wastewater stabilization reservoir (WSR). WSRs are hypertrophic aquatic systems devoted to water storage in warm countries where shortage conditions are often encountered. Several factors that affect the stabilization reservoir’s effluent quality were taken into account: hydraulics and hydrology, solar radiation, reaeration, algae, zooplankton, organic matter, pathogens, and sediment-water interactions. The model quantifies the specific influence of each factor on effluent quality, and evaluating the correlation between the different factors. State variables included in the model were: algae, dissolved oxygen, or…
The influence of weathering processes on labile and stable organic matter in Mediterranean volcanic soils
2008
The relationship and mechanisms among weathering processes, cation fluxes, clay mineralogy, organic matter composition and stability were studied in soils developing on basaltic material in southern Italy (Sicily). The soils were transitions between Phaeozems and Vertisols. Intense losses of the elements Na, Ca and Mg were measured indicating that weathering has occurred over a long period of time. The main weathering processes followed the sequence: amphibole, mica, volcanic glass or if ash was the primary source→smectite→interstratified smectite–kaolinite→kaolinite. Kaolinite formation was strongly related to high Al, Mg and Na losses. The good correlation between oxyhydroxides and kaolin…
Factors influencing the transport of tryptophan hydrochloride through supported liquid membranes containing macrocyclic carriers
1997
Commercially available PTFE membranes were used as a support for liquid membranes in amino acid transport. Using tryptophan as a model amino acid, the influence of the type of organic liquid, kind of macrocyclic carrier and counter-ion on transport efficiency was examined. These studies show the strong influence of the kind of the counter-ion co-transported with amino acid cation, and the type of macrocyclic carrier used on the transport efficiency. The transport efficiency depends also on the pH of the source phase and on the nature of the organic liquid used as a membrane solvent. Liquid membranes supported on commercial porous-PTFE-membranes with hydrophobic solvents are stable for more …
Differential behaviour of Pseudomonas sp. 42A2 LipC, a lipase showing greater versatility than its counterpart LipA
2009
Abstract Growth of Pseudomonas sp. 42A2 on oleic acid releases polymerized hydroxy-fatty acids as a result of several enzymatic conversions that could involve one or more lipases. To test this hypothesis, the lipolytic system of strain Pseudomonas sp. 42A2 was analyzed, revealing the presence of at least an intracellular carboxylesterase and a secreted lipase. Consensus primers derived from a conserved region of bacterial lipase subfamilies I.1 and I.2 allowed isolation of two secreted lipase genes, lipA and lipC, highly homologous to those of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Homologous cloning of the isolated lipA and lipC genes was performed in Pseudomonas sp. 42A2 for LipA and LipC over-expr…
Synthesis, optical, and thermal properties of glassy trityl group containing luminescent derivatives of 2-tert-butyl-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one
2012
In this work we present simple preparation of original trityl group containing glassy luminescent 6-styryl substituted derivatives of 2-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)malononitrile (DWK-1TB), 2-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)-2- ethyl-2-cyanoacetate (KWK-1TB), 2-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)-1H-indene-1,3(2H)-dione (ZWK-1TB) and 5-(2-tert-butyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidene)pyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione (JWK-1TB). Their optical properties have been investigated. The absorption maxima of synthesized glasses is in region from 425 nm to 515 nm and emission maxima is from 470 nm to 625 nm in solution of dichloromethane. But absorption maxima of their solid films is from 425 nm to 500 nm and em…
Polymere acroleine, I. Mitt. Untersuchungen über die polymerisation des acroleins.
1955
Unter der Einwirkung typischer Polymerisations-Katalysatoren wie z. B. Azoisobuttersaurenitril, Peroxyde, Redox-Systeme, metallorganische Verbindungen und Friedel-Crafts-Katalysatoren geht Acrolein in polymere Produkte uber. Deren physikalische Eigenschaften (thermische Bestandigkeit, Viskositat der Losungen u. a.) hangen von den Polymerisationsbedingungen ab. Einige der erhaltenen polymeren Produkte unterscheiden sich deutlich von den bisher bekannten Polyacroleinen. By the action of typical catalysts of polymerisation (e.g. azo-bis-isobutyronitrile, peroxides, redox-systems, organometallic compounds, Friedel-Crafts-catalysts) acrolein forms polymeric products. The physical properties of s…
Fluoreszierende und nicht fluoreszierende (Aryl)(vinyl)sulfone — Reagenzien zum Schutz und Nachweis von Thiolfunktionen
1985
Konkurrenzversuche und kinetisch verfolgte Umsetzungen geben Aufschlus uber die Geschwindigkeit der Addition von primaren, sekundaren und tertiaren Thiolen an die (Aryl)- bzw. (Alkyl)-(vinyl)sulfone 1 und 4 – 7. Die gebildeten saurestabilen 2-(Alkyl-/arylthio)ethylsulfone werden durch Basen in einer der Bildung analogen Geschwindigkeitsabstufung wieder in die Thiole und Vinylsulfone zerlegt. Eine kinetisch gesteuerte, selektive Einfuhrung und selektive Ablosung unterschiedlicher Arylsulfonylethyl-Schutzgruppen in dem gleichen Molekul ist damit moglich. – Die Verwendung fluoreszierender Vinylsulfone (5, 10 und 11) eroffnet der Analyse und Synthese neue Einsatzfelder. Die SH-selektiven Vinyls…

1962
Die loslichen Spontanpolymerisate des Glutardialdehyds, β-Methyl- und β-Phenylglutardialdehyds bestehen auf Grund ihrer Eigenschaften und IR-Spektren vornehmlich aus Tetrahydropyranstruktureinheiten, die durch eine Cyclopolymerisation gebildet werden. Es wird ein infrarotspektroskopischer Vergleich mit verschiedenen niedermolekularen Tetrahydropyran-Modellsubstanzen durchgefuhrt. Die unkatalysierte Polymerisation last sich infrarotspektroskopisch verfolgen. Die Poly-glutardialdehyde konnen acetyliert werden. Die Polymeren erfahren durch die Acetylierung eine wesentliche thermische Stabilisierung. Die Eigenschaften und IR-Spektren der Spontanpolymerisate werden mit denen des vernetzten Poly-…
Mass spectrometric investigation of polymers: Thermal degradation of truxillic and truxinic polyamides
1975
The thermal degradation mechanism of four isomeric truxillic and truxinic polyamides were investigated by direct pyrolysis in the ion source of a mass spectrometer. Thermal degradation reactions were followed directly by this method by detecting the thermal and electron impact-induced fragments. The results obtained have shown that the thermal degradation products are sensibly different for the head-to-head (hh) and head-to-tail (ht) polymers and that the predominant pyrolytic process is the cyclobutane ring cleavage. In the hh isomers, both symmetrical and asymmetrical cyclobutane ring cleavage was detected, while in the ht isomers only symmetrical cleavage occurs; this explains the notice…
