Degree of crosslinking and mechanical properties of crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) beads for use in solid-phase organic synthesis

The limited swellability in polar media of the commonly used polystyrene/divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) support materials for solid-phase organic synthesis has led to the development of novel, highly swellable hydrophilic gels designed for use in aqueous or polar media. Poly(vinyl alcohol) beads crosslinked with epichlorohydrin (PVA-EP) were prepared by a two-step inverse-suspension polymerization method. While it is known that the morphology of the resulting beads can be controlled by the ratio of EP versus PVA as well as by the pre-crosslinking time, the actual degree of crosslinking of the beads and their mechanical properties remain unknown. It is therefore the purpose of this study to evaluate the actual degree of crosslinking of beads prepared with different quantities of crosslinker in the feed by spectroscopic (Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance) and chemical (functional group loading) methods. The mechanical properties of these swollen PVA-EP beads will be evaluated by single-bead unconfined compression in solvents such as water, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and tetrahydrofuran (THF) and compared to model PS-DVB beads commonly used for solid phase synthesis.     

ESTIMATION OF VAPOR PRESSURES OF ORGANIC NITROGEN AND SULFUR COMPOUNDS BY A GROUP-CONTRIBUTION METHOD

The group-contribution method for vapor pressures of hydrocarbons and organic compounds containing nitrogen or sulfur, based on the kinetic theory of fluids, is revised and extended to include new groups containing nitrogen or sulfur. Good representation is obtained for vapor pressure data in the region 1.30-270 kPa. The method may be used to estimate vapor pressures and enthalpies of vaporization for those organic fluids containing nitrogen or sulfur, where no experimental data are available.     

Effect of mixing leaves with olives on organoleptic quality of oil obtained by centrifugation

Variable quantities of leaves were added to ripe olives prior to extraction to determine their effect on the quality of the resulting olive oil. The addition of 1–3% w/w leaves improved the organoleptic quality. An increase intrans-2-hexenal aldehyde content occurred, giving the pleasant flavor of “freshly cut grass.” This compound was produced by the enzymatic breakdown of 13-L-hydroperoxide of linolenic acid in leaf homogenates.     

New perfectly difunctional organolithium initiators for block copolymer synthesis: 2. Difunctional polymers of dienes and of their triblocks copolymers with styrene

New organodilithium initiators were prepared in a hydrocarbon solvent in the absence of any polar additive. Although these initiators are insoluble when they are synthesized, they may be easily purified and reacted with dienes to give perfectly telechelic polydienes having unimodal distributions and low dispersity. A good agreement between experimental and theoretical molecular weights was observed. The polymer microstructures were similar to those of polymers initiated by butyllithium in the same solvent. Triblock thermoplastic elastomers were also prepared, the characteristics of which are given. The mechanical properties of a S.B.S. sample support also the claim of a good initiating ability and difunctionality of these initiators.     

Study of the Catalytic Ozonation of Humic Substances in Water and Their Ozonation Byproducts

It is shown that using transition metals, especially Mn(II) and Ag(I), during ozonation of humic substances in water allows important reductions in the content of organic matter. Characterization of the organic compounds resulting from ozonation was made by concentrating the sample through liquid-liquid extraction or derivation with PFBOA.HCl, along with the GC/MS and GC/ECD techniques. In total, 110 different organic compounds were identified using GC/MS; mainly carboxylic acids, aromatics, hydrocarbons, aldehydes, ketones, and furan-carboxylic acids. The percentages of elimination or formation levels reached during ozonation are discussed.     

2003年上半年我国染料、有机颜料生产及进出口情况浅析（一）

20 0 2年我国染料及有机颜料生产和进出口数量达到历史最好水平 ,2 0 0 3年上半年虽然经受了SARS的影响 ,但我国染料及有机颜料工业仍然取得了稳定增长的成绩。上半年染料产量总计 19 5 9万t,同比增长 2 4 7%;颜料产量为 4 30万t,同比增长 2 1 6 9%。上半年出口增长幅度减缓 ,染料出口总量为 9 92万t,同比增长 3 1%;有机颜料出口为 4 2万t,同比增长 3 1%。进口基本稳定 ,上半年染料进口量为 3 2 5万t,同比增长 9 1%;有机颜料进口为1 6 9万t,同比增长为 11 5 %。总之 ,上半年主要经济指标完成情况良好 ,进出口数量和经济效益继续保持稳定增长。但染料和纺织品的生产与出口都遇到一定的困难 ,纺织品出口又直接影响染料的内销市场 ,由于内外市场的变化 ,使染料生产和进出口的增长幅度减缓。     

Effect of the metal oxide loading on the activity of silica supported MoO3 and V2O5 catalysts in the selective partial oxidation of methane

Precipitated silica catalysts loaded with either MoO₃ (0.2–4.0 wt%) or V₂O₅ (0.2–5.3 wt%) have been studied in the selective partial oxidation of methane to formaldehyde with molecular oxygen at 520 °C. The functionality of the SiO₂ surface towards the formation of HCHO is significantly promoted by V₂O₅, while it is depressed by the MoO₃.     

Characterization of NOM and THM formation potential in eutrophic reservoir water

Resin adsorption technique with XAD-8 and XAD-4 was used to characterize the raw water from Erlong reservoir in Jilin province of China. The NOM chemical composition sequences of four organic fractions in the raw water,from high to low,are fulvic acid (FA) fraction,hydrophilic non-acid (HPINA) fraction,hydrophilic acid (HPIA) fraction,and humic acid (HA) fraction. Experimental results show that FA is the main precursor of THMFP among the four organic fractions. However,HA or hydrophobic acid exhibits the highest chlorination activity in forming THMs. It is also found that the value of FI/DOC or SUVA and the specific THMFP have better positive correlation. It is implied that certain source water has unique nature of NOM and DBPs.
