Peroxide crosslinking of rigid poly(vinyl chloride)

The optimum conditions for crosslinking rigid poly(vinyl chloride) with trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and peroxide have been examined. The extent of crosslinking was measured by determining gel content by Soxhlet extraction in tetrahydrofuran. Mechanical properties were measured at 130°C and dynamic viscoelastic measurements were carried out to detect changes in the glass transition temperature (T_g). It was found that 15 phr of TMPTMA and 0.3 phr of peroxide were optimum concentrations for maximizing the extent of crosslinking, tensile strength, and T_g. The lower molding temperature of 170°C was preferred to minimize thermal degradation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 2904–2909, 2007     

Continual conversion of free fatty acid in rice bran oil to triacylglycerol by immobilized lipase

Rice bran oil containing 30–50% free fatty acid was continually converted to an oil containing more than 75% of triacylglycerol (TG) by means of immobilized lipase. The reaction was carried out at 60°C for 24 h with dehydration and reactant mixing by dry nitrogen flow under a positive nitrogen atmosphere. Enzymatic TG synthesis with evaporation by heating was not suitable because of the increasing peroxide value of the oil. Part of this article was presented at the annual meeting of the Japan Oil Chemists' Society at Sendai, Japan, October, 16, 1990.     

Manganese ferrite nanoparticles synthesized through a nanocasting route as a highly active Fenton catalyst

Spinel ferrite MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized by means of a nanocasting technique using a low-cost mesoporous silica gel as a hard template. The magnetic nanoparticles, of <10 nm diameter and with a surface area of around 100 m²/g, were tested as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide under neutral and basic conditions. This catalyst shows a much higher activity than previous heterogeneous catalysts reported in the literature, which is mainly ascribed to its small particle size. Furthermore, the magnetic catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction medium by means of an external magnetic field. The effects of residual silica and the purity of the catalyst (hematite formation) on catalytic activity have been studied and correlated. The results obtained show this catalyst to be a suitable candidate for the removal of pollutants in wastewaters by means of the Fenton heterogeneous reaction.     

Synthesis and characterization of polystyrene initiated using polymeric peroxide

Polymer peroxides were synthesized by copolymerizing tert‐butyl‐3‐isopropenylcumylperoxide (D‐120) with styrene (St). Exothermic peak at 192.7°C in DSC thermogram indicated that peroxy bonds in D‐120 remained intact during the copolymerizing process. The polymeric peroxide was used to initiate polymerization of St. GPC results showed that polystyrene (PS) initiated by the polymeric peroxides was composed of both linear and branched molecules. In addition, the rheology test showed that PS samples initiated by polymeric peroxide contained branched structure and had lower shear viscosities. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Degradation of p-nitrotoluene by 03/H2 02 process and oxidation mechanism

The degradation of p-nitrotoluene by O2/H2O2 process in a bubble contact column was investigated.Effects of the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide to ozone, pH value and t-butanol on the oxidation process were discussed. It was found that the proper H2 O2/O3 molar ratio for the degradation of p-nitrotoluene was around O. 6, different pH values and the presence of t-butanol highly influenced the removal efficiency of p-nitrotoluene. 5-metbyl-2-nitrophenol, 2-methy1-5-nitrophenol, (4-nitrophenyl) methanol, 5-(hydroxymethyl) -2-nitro phenol, acetic acid, 2-methylpropanc diacid and 2-(hydroxylmethyl) propane diacid were identified as degradation intermediates and products through GC-MS. Radical reaction mechanism and degradation pathway were proposed based on the results of experiments. It is deduced that the benzene ring of p-nitrotoluene can be only destroyed by hydroxyl radicals through a polyhydrexy intermediate pathway. Then unstable polybydroxy intermediates can be oxidized to different acids with low molecular weight rapidly.

Raman studies of peroxide formation,decomposition, and reduction on Ba/MgO

Ba/MgO is an active catalyst for the oxidative coupling of methane to form ethane and ethylene. It has been proposed that activation of methane occurs via reaction with peroxide species present at the surface of the catalyst. In the present work, Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the formation, decomposition, and reduction of BaO₂ on 4 mol% Ba/MgO. The presence of BaO₂ is evidenced by the presence of a band at 842 cm^–1. The peroxide forms above 300°C but is stable to decomposition at temperatures up to 500°C. Reduction of BaO₂ to BaO proceeds via Ba(OH)₂. BaCO₃ forms when either BaO or BaO₂ is exposed to CO₂. Once formed, BaCO₃ is stable to decomposition in He or O₂ at temperatures up to 500°C. Only BaCO₃ is observed when a mixture of CH₄ and O₂ is passed over the catalyst at 500°C.     

Direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H2 and O2 using zeolite-supported Au catalysts

The direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide from H₂ and O₂ using zeolite-supported Au catalysts is described and their activity is contrasted with silica- and alumina-supported Au catalysts. Two zeolites were investigated, ZSM-5 and zeolite Y. The effect of calcination of these catalysts is studied and it is found that for uncalcined catalysts high rates of hydrogen peroxide formation are observed, but these catalysts are unstable and lose Au during use. Consequently, reuse of these catalysts leads to lower rates of hydrogen peroxide formation. However, catalysts calcined at 400 °C are more stable and can be reused without loss of gold. The use of zeolites as a support for Au gives comparable rates of hydrogen peroxide formation to alumina-supported Au catalysts and higher rates when compared with silica-supported catalysts. prepared using a similar method. Zeolite Y-supported catalysts are more active than ZSM-5-supported catalysts for the stable calcined materials. It is considered that the overall activity of these supported catalysts may be related to the aluminium content as the activity increases with increasing aluminium content.
