Caramel enriched in di-d-fructose dianhydrides (DFAs, a family of prebiotic cyclic fructodisaccharides) is a functional food with beneficial properties for health. The aim of this work was to study the conversion of fructose into DFAs catalyzed by acid ion-exchange resin, in order to establish a simplified mechanism of the caramelization reaction and a kinetic model for DFA formation. Batch reactor experiments were carried out in a 250 mL spherical glass flask and afforded up to 50% DFA yields. The mechanism proposed entails order 2 reactions that describe fructose conversion on DFAs or formation of byproducts such as HMF or melanoidines. A third order 1 reaction defines DFA transformation into fructosyl-DFAs or fructo-oligosaccharides. The influence of fructose concentration, resin loading and temperature was studied to calculate the kinetic parameters necessary to scale up the process.

Radiocarbon analysis of nuclear waste produced in nuclear facilities lacks fast, in situ detection methods. Moreover, the amount of radiocarbon desorbing from graphitic waste is not well known. In this study, we demonstrate the use of mid-infrared cavity ring-down spectroscopy combined with an automatic sample processing unit as a method to examine radiocarbon concentration in three types of nuclear waste: spent ion-exchange resin, graphite, and graphite outgassing in sealed storage crates.

Drinking and wastewater are to be treated for safe human consumption and for keeping surface waters clean. There are multiple water purification procedures, but the use of ion-exchange resins significantly enhances water purification efficiency. This review was targeted on highlighting the concept and classification of polymeric ion-exchange resins as well as pointing out their real-world applications.

The study of biomolecules and their interactions in their natural environment requires increasingly sophisticated technological and methodological developments. The complexity of these developments is due, among other things, to the nature of these molecules and the small quantities available depending on their origin. In this context, this study focuses on the conditions for improving the detection of glycosaminoglycans on a miniaturized scale by mass spectrometry.

Aim: To evaluate the micro-shear bond strength (µ-SBS) of resin-modified glass ionomer cement and to assess the chemical and topographical changes in the zirconia fitting surface induced by acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-two samples were prepared from two zirconia materials, UPCERA HT White and BruxZir Solid Zirconia, milled by a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing system. From each zirconia sample, six plates were prepared for FTIR and SEM testing.

In this study, humic acid was used as a model pollutant to investigate the removal effect of a macroporous weakly alkaline anion exchange resin D301 on natural organic matter (NOM) in water. 3D fluorescence spectroscopy, UV - visible spectrophotometry and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were employed to analyze changes in the physical and chemical properties of humic acid solution and natural water samples before and after resin adsorption. The results showed that using humic acid as a model pollutant to simulate NOM in water is feasible.
