2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (1) , a polyolefin processing stabilizer, is transformed during the stabilization process primarily into 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-phenoxyl (2) . The important consecutive transformation pathway of 2 involves irreversible C? C coupling giving 4,4′-ethylenebis(2,6-di-tert-butylphenol) (8) and reversible C? C coupling accounting for formation of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methyl-4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-one (9) . The stepwise transformation of 9 into the parent phenol 1 , the stable dimer 8 and a variety of other products was found in EPR and chromatographic studies of free radical and molecular products generated from 9 in oxidative environment. It follows that compounds 1, 8 and 9 are stepwise transformed into coloured quinoide and quinonemethinoide compounds in the ultimate phase, and the antioxidant chain-breaking character of 1 is thus lost. It is considered that most of the free radical species formed transiently during transformation of 1 and/or of derived phenolic coupling products disappear from the system via disproportionation and alkylperoxy radicals (RO2) or oxygen trapping. Labile, cross-conjugated, peroxidic species generated by the latter process contribute to the fragmentation of coupling products. 相似文献
Mushroom tyrosinase and glucose dehydrogenase from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus were immobilized in poly(vinyl)alcohol membranes and coupled with a Clark-type oxygen electrode to give a substrate (analyte) regenerating cycle for monitoring of nanomolar concentrations of phenolic compounds. In this way the response for catechol, phenol, p-cresol, p-chlorophenol and p-acetamidophenol was amplified by a factor of 450, 300, 240, 150, and 140, respectively. The resulting detection limit for catechol and phenol is 0·6 nmol dm−3 and 0·9 nmol dm−3, respectively. The measuring linear range for phenol obtained by the amplified electrode extends from 1 to 400 nmol dm−3. The comparison with the chemical (ascorbic acid) regeneration of the phenolic compounds demonstrates the efficiency of the enzymatic procedure. The biosensor can be used for monitoring of phenolic compounds in environmental or industrial samples. 相似文献
The synthesis of the new unsymmetrical tetradendate Schiff ligand N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N′-(2-hydroxybenzylidene)-1,3-diaminopropane (H2L1) is reported. The ligand comprises two different coordination moieties: a rigid salicylaldimmine unit and a more flexible (2-hydroxybenzyl)-amino (hydrogenated salicylaldimmine) unit. The reaction of H2L1 with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O (1:1 molar ratio) leads to the spontaneous formation of a trinuclear complex with composition {[Ni(L1)OH2]2(OAc)2Ni}·2H2O, characterized by X-ray crystallography, where two [Ni(L1)] units act as O,O-bidentate chelate to a Ni(II) ion. 相似文献
A novel and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on the cone conformation of the supramolecule 25, 27-(3-thiopropoxy)-p-tert-butyl calix[4]arene has been developed for quantitative determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The method works effectively by immobilizing calix[4]arenes on Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. CdSe quantum dots were used as electrochemical labels. CdSe quantum dots (QDs) modified PAHs in competition with the sample PAHs were intercalated into calix[4]arenes supramolecules via a host–guest interaction through individual bowl-shaped calix[4]arenes. The stripping analysis of the cadmium dissolved from CdSe nanoparticles provided a sensitive method for the detection of PAHs in the samples. The signal decrease of the QDs was proportional to the increase in the concentration of the PAHs. Under optimal conditions, among the five PAHs, the square wave voltammetry (SWV) response of QDs decreased linearly for anthracene and naphthalene in the range of 2.1 × 10?7–1.4 × 10?5 and 1.5 × 10?6–2.5 × 10?5 M, respectively. The calculated detection limits (3δ) were 20.1 ng mL?1 for anthracene and 105.5 ng mL?1 for naphthalene. 相似文献
Activated carbons prepared from date pits, an agricultural waste byproduct, have been examined for the adsorption of phenol from aqueous solutions. The activated carbons were prepared using a fluidized bed reactor in two steps; carbonization at 700 °C for 2 hours in N2 atmosphere and activation at 900 °C in CO2 atmosphere. The kinetic data were fitted to the models of intraparticle diffusion, pseudo‐second order, and Lagergren, and followed more closely the pseudo‐second‐order chemisorption model. The isotherm equilibrium data were well fitted by the Freundlich and Langmuir models. The maximum adsorption capacity of activated date pits per Langmuir model was 16 times higher than that of nonactivated date pits. The thermodynamic properties calculated revealed the endothermic nature of the adsorption process. The uptake of phenol increased with increasing initial phenol concentration from10 to 200 ppm and temperature from 25 to 55 °C, and decreased with increasing the solution pH from 4 to 12. The uptake of phenol was not affected by the presence of NaCl salt. 相似文献
Polyallylamine-conjugated thermo-responsive polymer (PNIPAAm-PAA) was readily prepared by the condensation of polyallylamine and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide. The synthesized polymer was water-soluble below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST, ca. 34 °C) but deposited to form a condensed coagulate by heating the solution above the LCST. In the presence of phenol oxidation enzymes, phenolic compounds was oxidized and spontaneously bound to the amino group of PNIPAAm-PAA. Almost complete removal of 300 mg l−1 phenol was achieved by the use of 1 g l−1 PNIPAAm-PAA. However, long time was required for the oxidation of phenol by using mushroom tyrosinase. On the other hand, combined use of horseradish peroxidase and hydrogen peroxidase allowed rapid phenol removal. Furthermore, the proposed method was applicable to the removal of a wide range of phenolic compounds including estrogenic hormones. The applicability to wastewater treatment was successfully demonstrated using spiked effluents. 相似文献
A multi-stage model, operated with single elution, was used to investigate the effects of organic loadings on the attenuation of a model phenolic wastewater in domestic refuse. Although 100% dissimilation of influent phenol (2–5 mmol dm?3) was recorded at a dilution rate of 0.007 h?1, partial inhibition of both phenol degradation and species competing with methanogens for a common electron donor(s) was apparent at concentrations ±4 mmol dm?3. On extended perfusion with 8 mmol phenol dm?3, the progressive inhibition of phenol dissimilation was not obviated by nutrient supplementation. Simultaneous degradation of the catabolic intermediate, hexanoic acid, and elevated methane release rates suggested that the transformation of phenol to hexanoate was rate limiting. 相似文献
Summary: Fiberboards were prepared using phenolic type resins (phenol‐formaldehyde) and sugarcane bagasse fibers. Lignin extracted through an organosolv process from sugarcane bagasse was used as substitute of phenol in phenolic resins from 40 (lignin‐phenol‐formaldehyde) to 100 wt.‐% (lignin‐formaldehyde) substitution. Some of the fibers were chemically modified by oxidation with chlorine dioxide and treatment with furfuryl alcohol (FA), leading to fibers coated with polyfurfuryl alcohol. Thermal analysis (DSC and TGA) of the prepolymers allowed setting up an efficient curing to prepare fiberboards. Impact strength and water absorption were measured showing the importance of the curing pressure to obtain good performance. When chemically modified fibers were used to prepare board samples, enhanced durability against white root fungi is observed, and to a less degree against brown root fungi. Sugarcane bagasse fiberboards were prepared from prepolymers where lignin substituted phenol up to 100%. This replaces these materials in advantageous position, relating to those prepared from phenol‐formaldehyde resins, due to their high content of renewable raw materials. The results obtained are promising for the utilization of sugarcane bagasse as raw materials for preparing fiberboards to be used in tropical areas.
Stabilization of sugarcane bagasse fiberboards made with unmodified and modified (ClO2 + furfuryl alcohol) fibers and phenolic resin after 8 weeks exposure against fungi. 相似文献
Carbon dioxide reactivities of powdered samples of Acacia and Eucalyptus wood chars were measured thermogravimetrically at 900°C and the effects of carbonization conditions (temperature, heating rate and soaking time) and wood species were determined. The results showed that the reactivity decreased with increasing carbonization temperature and soaking time. Chars prepared under rapid carbonization (heating rate: 30°C min−1) were found to be more reactive than the chars produced by slow carbonization (heating rate: 4°C min−1). In comparison to Eucalyptus wood chars, the Acacia wood chars exhibited higher reactivity. 相似文献
Quality of virgin olive oil (VOO) depends on phenolic molecules content, which depends on the biochemical characteristics of olive fruits, namely endogenous enzymes. In order to ascertain the influence of olive fruit ripening degree on the phenol content, enzyme activities in olive fruits, and the quality of the corresponding oils were studied during Oueslati olive ripening. In fact, three enzymes were studied: peroxidase (POX) in olive seeds, polyphenoloxidase (PPO), and β-glucosidase (β-GL) in olive fruits mesocarp. Each enzyme showed specific trend: POX activity increased gradually until reaching a maximum (17.061 ± 0.101 U g−1 FW) at ripening index (RI) 3.6 and then decreased slowly at advanced ripening stage. However, the maximum of PPO activity (240.421 ± 0.949 U g−1 FW) was observed earlier at RI of 0.7. Concerning β-glucosidase activity, its maximal was 60.857 ± 1.105 U g−1 FW at RI 2.8, then, it decreased sharply to reach 17.096 ± 0.865 U g−1 FW at RI 3.9. A significant increase of total phenol content as well as the antioxidant activity were observed during Oueslati olive ripening. Moreover, phenolic profile indicated that appropriate harvesting date of Oueslati olives coincided with RI 3.9 given that highest content of most important individuals phenolic compounds responsible for the main VOO biological properties achieved on this date. Furthermore, phenols amount of Oueslati VOO was principally due to PPO enzyme activity as the increase in total phenols coincides with the decrease in PPO activity. 相似文献
Summary A method using tri-n-butyltin hydride to reduce the 2-methyl-6-(N,N-di-n-butylamino)methyl phenol end group on PPO®(4) was developed. It generated a polyphenylene ether (PPE) with 2,6-xylenol as the only phenolic end group without causing any significant increase in molecular weight. 相似文献
ABSTRACT This contribution summarizes the temporal intermediates produced during the ozonation of phenol, 2-chlorophenol, 4-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol, as followed by liquid chromatography coupled to a time of flight mass spectrometer (LC-MS-TOF). A 2 × 10?3 M solution of the phenolic compounds was ozonated in a sintered glass reactor at an ozone dose of 0.14 mg/min (O2/O3 flow 10 mL/min). Identified intermediates showed that catechol pathway was the predominant route for phenol oxidation with acrylic acid being the end product. Hydroxylative dechlorination of 2-chlorophenol also gave catechol, and the reaction products were similar to that of phenol. Hydroxylation and ring opening via the 4-chlorocatechol pathways were the predominant route for the ozonation of 4-chlorophenol, while 2,4-dichlorophenol followed both hydroxylation and hydroxylative dechlorination mechanism. Several novel intermediates and coupling products were identified and reaction schemes leading to breakdown products are provided for each phenolic compound. 相似文献
