Acidolysis of babassu fat catalyzed by immobilized lipase

The lipase-catalyzed interesterification of oils and fats gives products that are unobtainable by chemical interesterification methods. Acidolysis of babassu fat and palmitic acid, catalyzed by immobilized lipase (Lipozyme; Novo Industri, Bagsveard, Denmark), was studied. The reactions were performed at 65°C with 5% w/w enzyme for 4 h. The molar proportions of babassu fat/palmitic acid were 1∶0.1, 1∶0.3 and 1∶0.5. At the end of the reaction period, the catalyst particles were removed by filtration, and the residual oil was extracted with organic solvent (diethyl ether). The recovered particles were then reused. The palmitic acid content of babassu fat before and after acidolysis changed from 10 to 22% at a molar proportion of 1∶0.5. The equilibrium was attained in about 4 h. The original water and enzymatic activities of Lipozyme were maintained after acidolysis. Water sorption isotherms of the immobilized enzyme were determined at 25, 35 and 45°C. From the temperature dependence of the isotherms, isosteric heats of sorption were evaluated by means of the Clausius Clapeyron equation. Monolayer moisture content was calculated by means of the B.E.T. and Guggenhein-Anderson-De Boer analyses.

Synthesis and biological activity of phthalimide‐based polymers containing 5‐fluorouracil

The attachment of anticancer agents to polymers is a promising approach towards reducing the toxic side‐effects and retaining the potent antitumour activity of these agents. A new tetrahydrophthalimido monomer containing 5‐fluorouracil (ETPFU) and its homopolymer and copolymers with acrylic acid (AA) and with vinyl acetate (VAc) have been synthesized and spectroscopically characterized. The ETPFU contents in poly(ETPFU‐co‐AA) and poly(ETPFU‐co‐VAc) obtained by elemental analysis were 21 mol% and 20 mol%, respectively. The average molecular weights of the polymers determined by gel permeation chromatography were as follows: M_n = 8900 g mol^?1, M_w = 13 300 g mol^?1, M_w/M_n = 1.5 for poly(ETPFU); M_n = 13 500 g mol^?1, M_w = 16 600 g mol^?1, M_w/M_n = 1.2 for poly(ETPFU‐co‐AA); M_n = 8300 g mol^?1, M_w = 11 600 g mol^?1, M_w/M_n = 1.4 poly(ETPFU‐co‐VAc). The in vitro cytotoxicity of the compounds against FM3A and U937 cancer cell lines increased in the following order: ETPFU > 5‐FU > poly(ETPFU) > poly(ETPFU‐co‐AA) > poly(ETPFU‐co‐VAc). The in vivo antitumour activities of all the polymers in Balb/C mice bearing the sarcoma 180 tumour cell line were greater than those of 5‐FU and monomer at the highest dose (800 mg kg^?1). © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

浅谈国内外钒催化剂的质量差异

从化学组分、强度、活性、物相结构、孔容积及孔径分布等方面，对国产S101-2H、S108-1H钒催化剂和进口LP120、LP110钒催化剂进行剖析、对比。结果表明，国产催化剂强度比进口催化剂低30％左右；国产催化剂测定活性与进口催化剂相近，但实际使用活性明显劣于进口催化剂；进口催化剂载体中存在方英石、硫酸铝钾相，而国产催化剂没有；进口催化剂孔径分布较宽，主要孔径分布在0．50～1．50μm，而国产催化剂孔径分布较窄，主要孔径分布在0．060～0．30μm，不利于反应气体在催化剂内部的扩散。鉴此，建议采用高温煅烧载体，降低其有机物含量；优化配方，填加无机粘结剂；改进成型设备等措施，提高催化剂的强度和活性。     

The effect of ionic strength on soil P reactions is negligible

The electrolyte concentration of the soil solution affects the availability of some nutrients in the soil, especially of P, but it is not know at what salt concentration the reactions start to be significantly affected and their magnitude. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of rates of potassium chloride (KCl) on some soil parameters that determine supplying of P, K, Ca, Mg, and Al in an unlimed acid soil. Increasing rates of KCl (from zero up to 2000 mg K kg^–1) were applied to soil samples fertilized with 360 mg P kg^–1. Solution (C_li) and exchangeable (C_si) forms of P, Ca, Mg, K, and Al were determined in the treated soil samples after 30-days of incubation; cation activity in solution and their selectivity coefficients were then calculated. Addition of KCl at rates equal to or above 500 mg K kg^–1 caused a large relative increase on P in the soil solution (P_li) but a small and insignificant increase on the absolute value of P_li. All forms of soil K increased with increases on K applied, and buffer power for K varied according to the range of soil K. At all KCl rates, K displaced Ca, Mg, and Al from the solid phase to the soil solution, but had no effect on the extractable values. The relative preference of cations for the adsorption sites increased with increase on cation valency, and only those selectivity coefficients involving K were affected by K applied.     

The influence of sulfur dioxide on propane oxidation activity over supported platinum and palladium

Earlier studies have shown that sulfur dioxide and metal-support interaction can strongly influence propane oxidation over platinum. In particular, oxidation activity is enhanced when platinum is supported on sulfated -alumina or zirconia compared to -alumina. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the performance of palladium under the same experimental conditions. Four model catalysts were examined: Pt/-alumina, Pt/zirconia, Pd/-alumina and Pd/zirconia. The metal loading was kept at or below 0.05 wt% to emphasize changes in activity attributable to metal-support interaction. Reaction rates were measured with and without sulfur dioxide. Surface sulfation was analyzed by measuring acid strength and evaluating spectra obtained by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. In contrast to platinum, sulfation does not promote propane oxidation on Pd/-alumina, and Pd/zirconia is less active than Pd/-alumina.

Preparation of a Novel Composite Material Based on a Nafion® Membrane and Polypyrrole for Potential Application in a PEM Fuel Cell

The process of embedding polypyrrole (PPy) on the surface of a Nafion^® membrane was studied. Three methods of PPy synthesis directly on the membrane surface were compared. The diffusion method based on the separation of monomer and oxidant (peroxidisulphate) solutions by the membrane to be modified is proposed as the most promising one. The monomer diffuses through the membrane to the oxidant side, where it is polymerized. In this case sulphate is incorporated into the film as a counter-ion. PPy film prepared in this way adheres well to the Nafion^® surface and shows promising electrochemical activity. The permeability of the composite for monomer in comparison to self-standing Nafion^® film is reduced significantly. This may be important for the potential application of this composite, especially in a direct methanol fuel cell, as an alternative membrane-electrode assembly (MEA), particularly with regard to the currently used MEA’s permeability for fuel.

Antioxidant activity of red wine phenolic extracts towards oxidation of corn oil

The antioxidant activity of Xinomavro red wine phenolic extracts in corn oil stripped of tocopherols was evaluated. One wine extract, at 100 mg/L total phenolics, rich in phenolic acids and flavonols, inhibited the oxidation of corn oil stripped of tocopherols to a greater extent than butylated hydroxyanisole, at 200 mg/L. Moreover, another extract, at 100 mg/L total phenolics, rich in flavanols, flavonols and tyrosol, also exhibited high inhibitory action. The present results indicate that some red wine phenolics – such as phenolic acids, flavonols or flavanols – may be strong antioxidants in corn oil.
