Published: April 2008

The adsorption of octylamine on Au(111) under ultrahigh vacuum conditions is investigated. The molecules surprisingly undergo a thermally activated chemical reaction, resulting in formation of trioctylamine as confirmed both by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and by comparison to the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) signature of trioctylamine deposited directly onto the surface.

Food waste condensate (FWC) is a valuable source for recovering short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) through methods such as supported liquid membrane contactors. Containing organic compounds like acetate, propionate, and butyrate, FWC offers a rich substrate for efficient SCFA extraction. Recovering SCFAs from FWC provides notable environmental advantages, including reducing waste and generating high-value products for industries such as bioenergy and chemical production.

Zirconium is commonly used as a cladding material for nuclear reactors. The purity of the zirconium material seeks to control reactor efficiency. A novel composite of reduced graphene oxide-grafted polyacrylic acid, malic acid, and trioctylamine (rGO-g-PAA-MA/TOA) was prepared using in situ radical polymerization with gamma radiation at a dose of 25 KGy from a Co cell to preconcentrate zirconium Zr(IV) from zircon raffinate.

Levulinic acid is a carboxylic acid present in industrial downstream. It is an important chemical and can be transformed into various important chemicals such as 1,4-pentanediol, aminolevulinic acid, succinic acid, gamma valarolactone, hydoxyvaleric acid, and diphenolic acid. It is considered one of the top ten most important building block chemicals and bio-derived acids.

Acetic Acid Removal from Pre-Pulping Wood Extract with Recovery and Recycling of Extraction Solvents.

Appl Biochem Biotechnol

January 2019

Pre-pulping extraction is a means of deriving a hemicellulose-rich process stream from the front end of a kraft pulp mill. When the extraction is carried out using green liquor, pulp quality and quantity can be retained while still releasing hemicelluloses and acetic acid (HAc) for recovery as bioprocessing feedstock or chemical products. The HAc that is present in the wood extraction is inhibitory to microorganisms and can hinder fermentation.
