ChemInform Abstract: Continuous Hydrothermal Synthesis of Nanometric BaZrO3in Supercritical Water.

2008

Abstract Nanocrystalline barium zirconate (BaZrO 3 ) was synthesized using a hydrothermal synthesis process working in supercritical conditions and in a continuous way. By this method, we succeeded in the continuous and rapid production of nanopowders. As a preliminary work three barium precursors have been investigated: barium hydroxide (Ba(OH) 2 ), barium acetate (Ba(CH 3 COO) 2 ) and barium nitrate (Ba(NO 3 ) 2 ). Two of them (Ba(CH 3 COO) 2 and Ba(NO 3 ) 2 ) led to the pure perovskite phase. Then an experimental design has been conducted in order to determine the influence of the experimental parameters on the crystallinity and the grain size of the final product.

ChemInform Abstract: Homogeneous Metal-Based Catalysis in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide as Reaction Medium

2016

Above 31.1 °C and 73.8 bar, carbon dioxide reaches the supercritical state, being transformed into a fluid (scCO2) that has attracted interest in the last few decades as reaction medium for several transition-metal-catalyzed organic transformations. The main feature of this fluid rests on its capability to dissolve large amounts of other gases such as hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ethylene, or even methane and light alkanes. In this manner, very high concentrations of these reactants are available for catalysis. In this contribution a review of the main achievements of the use of transition-metal complexes as catalysts in scCO2 is presented.

Origin of the temperature dependence of the rate of singlet energy transfer in a three-component truxene-bridged dyads

2014

We report a truxene-based dyad built upon one donor (tri-meso-phenylzinc(II)porphyrin) and two acceptors (octa-β-alkylporphyrin free base) in which the donor exhibits free rotation around a Ctruxene-Cmeso single bond at 298 K in fluid solution but not at 77 K in a glass matrix, whereas the acceptors have very limited motion as they are blocked by β-methyl groups. This case is interesting because all the structural and spectroscopic parameters affecting the rate for singlet energy transfer according to a Förster Resonance Energy Transfer are only weakly temperature dependent, leaving only the Dexter mechanism explaining the larger variation in rate of energy transfers with the temperature h…

CO2 as a C1-Building Block for Dialkyl Carbonate Synthesis

2002

Carbon dioxide, one of the major man-made greenhouse gas, is a renewable resource of carbon which can be viewed as a C1 synthon to build valuable chemicals. The development of new applications is of major interest considering CO2 conversion and environmentally friendly reactions. As chemical catalysis offers interesting options, we are studying the molecular design of catalysts for the formation of dialkyl carbonates from alcohols and CO2. This paper reports results on the mechanistic approach for dialkyl carbonate formation with alkoxybutyl tin(IV) compounds. The insertion of CO2 into Sn-OR bonds (R = Me, 1Pr) occurs at atmospheric pressure and room temperature leading to alkylcarbonato ti…

Optimized Continuous Application of Hyperpolarized Xenon to Liquids

2018

International audience; In recent years, NMR with hyperpolarized (HP) xenon inside functionalized host structures (e.g. cryptophanes) have become a potential candidate for the direct observation of metabolic processes (i.e. molecular imaging). A critical issue for real applications is the dissolution of the HP-gas in the liquid which contains the host. In this work, we present recent developments for an improved and controlled dissolution of HP-Xe in liquids using hollow fiber membranes and different compressor systems. The designed apparatus consists of a compressor and a membrane unit. The compressor provides HP-129 Xe continuously at small adjustable pressures and in a polarization-prese…

(+)-(E)-Chrysanthenyl Acetate: A Molecule with Interesting Biological Properties Contained in the Anthemis secundiramea (Asteraceae) Flowers

2020

Anthemis secundiramea is a perennial herb native widespread throughout the Mediterranean basin. The oil obtained from the flowers of this plant has antimicrobial properties against gram-positive and -negative bacteria, and inhibits the biofilm formation. The extract of A. secundiramea also has antioxidant activity&mdash

Uso de procesos convencionales e innovadores para la valorización de los subproductos de la horchata

2019

La “Horchata de chufa" o más comúnmente conocida como “Horchata” es una bebida tradicional, no alcohólica, dulce y de aspecto blanquecino obtenida a partir de tubérculos de chufa (Cyperus esculentus L. var. Sativus Boeck) consumida fundamentalmente en la Comunidad Valenciana durante la época de verano, aunque en los últimos años ha experimentado un crecimiento en su consumo tanto a nivel español como en el resto del mundo. Durante el proceso de elaboración de la “Horchata” se producen una gran cantidad de residuos y subproductos tanto sólidos como líquidos, donde los sólidos pueden representar hasta el 60% del material vegetal. Estos subproductos se han considerado tradicionalmente como des…

Conduit dynamics and post explosion degassing on Stromboli: A combined UV camera and numerical modeling treatment

2016

Recent gas flux measurements have shown that Strombolian explosions are often followed by periods of elevated flux, or “gas codas,” with durations of order a minute. Here we present UV camera data from 200 events recorded at Stromboli volcano to constrain the nature of these codas for the first time, providing estimates for combined explosion plus coda SO2 masses of ≈18–225 kg. Numerical simulations of gas slug ascent show that substantial proportions of the initial gas mass can be distributed into a train of “daughter bubbles” released from the base of the slug, which we suggest, generate the codas, on bursting at the surface. This process could also cause transitioning of slugs into cap b…
