Cellulose membranes for reverse osmosis Part I. RO cellulose acetate membranes including a composite with polypropylene

With the aim of obtaining RO membranes for brackish water desalination from purified celluloses (cotton linters and bleached bagasse pulp), two reactions (heterogeneous and homogeneous) were applied for the synthesis of cellulose acetate (CA). The efficiency of the membranes was measured and compared with those prepared from purchased CA and prepared CA by acetylation of imported high-grade viscose wood pulp. The effect of blending CA with polypropylene (PP), on the efficiency of the prepared RO membranes was also studied. Results showed that the method of preparation of CA plays a profound effect on the salt rejection and water flux of the RO membranes. The efficiencies of RO membranes formed from heterogeneously acetylated celluloses are higher than those prepared from homogeneous ones. Blending the acetylated cellulose with 9% PP wastes improves the efficiency of membranes prepared from the homogeneously acetylated celluloses.     

Water flux,DSC, and cytotoxicity characterization of membranes of cellulose acetate produced from sugar cane bagasse,using PEG 600

Summary In this article, cellulose acetate produced through the homogeneous acetylation of sugar cane bagasse cellulose was used to produce membranes, using poly(ethyleneglycol) 600 (PEG 600) as an admixture. The membranes were characterized using water flux measurements (Payne’s cup), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and neutral red uptake (cytotoxicity). The results showed that PEG 600 acts as a crystallinity inductor and/or pore former in the cellulose acetate matrix. The induction of crystallinity is important for this system since it had not been reported on the literature yet. The results also demonstrated that the studied membranes present a nontoxic behavior.

Field trapping of threeEpinotia species with (Z,Z)-7,9-dodecadienyl acetate (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Field survey of the geometrical isomers of 7,9-dodecadienyl alcohol, acetate, and aldehyde has resulted in attractants and inhibitors for three species of tortricid moths.Epinotia silvertoniensis and an undescribedEpinotia sp. were all attracted to (Z,Z)-7,9-dodecadienyl acetate. AnotherEpinotia sp. was attracted to (Z,Z)-7,9-dodecadienyl acetate and (Z,Z)-7,9-dodecadien-1-ol. Electroantennogram data and inhibition patterns for one of theEpinotia sp. are also reported. In addition,E. criddleana was attracted to lures containing (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate.     

Degradation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic substrates using a chelator‐mediated Fenton reaction

The involvement of catechol and hydroxamate chelators, along with hydrogen peroxide and Fe³⁺, in the degradation of cellulosic and hemicellulosic substrates was examined with the purpose of improving our current knowledge of the non‐enzymatic mechanisms involved in wood biodegradation by fungi. It could be demonstrated that a catechol chelator‐mediated Fenton reaction not only clearly degraded hemicellulosic substrates but also significantly accelerated and increased the effectiveness of degradation reactions. On the other hand, when a hydroxamate chelator‐mediated Fenton reaction was used, an inhibitory effect was observed. When cellulosic substrates underwent a chelator‐mediated Fenton reaction, no significant difference in degradation was observed between catechol and hydroxamate chelator‐mediated reactions. However, a catechol‐mediated reaction did accelerate the degradation of cellulosic substrates at the beginning of reactions. In addition, it was observed that with a chelator‐mediated Fenton reaction, oxidation of cellulose proceeds depolymerization. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry

纤维素LiCl/DMAc体系的溶液特征

本文研究了纤维素LiCl／DMAc体系的溶液特征。实验结果证明该体系具有良好的时间稳定性和热稳定性，能在常温下近30天内没有明显的粘度降低；在100℃高温下，4h不降解。同时测定了溶液的特性粘数和Huggins常数，Huggins常数在0．4～0．6之间，对比纤维素的铜乙二胺（Cuen）溶液，发现特性粘数[η]LICI/DMAc＞[η]Cuen，无扰尺寸ALiCi／DMAc＞ACuen，可见在LiCl／DMAc体系中，溶剂与纤维素分子表现出更强的相互作用力，分子链充分伸展。该体系的特性粘数、粘度常数不仅与温度、溶剂有关，而且是LiCl浓度的函数，具有与聚电解质溶液相类似的性质。这可能是因为纤维素分子链上的H质子和溶液中的Cl-离子相互作用，而使纤维素分子带上部分电荷，相互排斥而引起的。因此利用M－H方程测分子量，粘度常数的确立必须考虑诸多因素的影响，否则会导致分子量的高估。
