Abstract:

     Essential oil of the orange peel which was extracted by hydrodistillation method showed 50 different mono- and sesquiterpenes on GC-MS analysis, in which limonene had the highest percentage (92.4%). Due to various important uses of the compound, a method was developed for isolation and purification of limonene. In this method, for extra purification, a fractional distillation on Vigreux column under 100 mm Hg vacuum was used which resulted in 96.7% purity for limonene. Subsequent chromatography by two different packages of silica gel and active charcoal columns resulted in 99.4% and 99.9 % purity of limonene, respectively.

simulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water

abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...

"a new protocol for isolation and purification of transferrin from human serum"

transferrin acts as a vehicle for iron transportation between the absorption, storage and utilization sites in the body and, besides iron, its two highaffinity iron-binding site are capable of binding to 29 other elements. in physiological and pathophysiological conditions, transferrin’s properties are different and close attention to these properties is required. for further investigation for ...

Renewable co‐polymers derived from castor oil and limonene*

Biobased monomers derived from castor oil as well as from limonene suitable for thiol–ene copolymerization were synthesized. Di‐10‐undecenylether 2 was obtained via GaBr3‐catalyzed reduction of 10‐undecenyl 10‐undecenoate 1. Diene ether 2 and (R)‐limonene 5 were reacted in two steps using radical thiol–ene addition reactions to dithiol ether 4 and dithiol 7, respectively. Diene ether 2 and dith...

Enzyme-Mediated Extraction of Limonene, Linalool and Linalyl Acetate from Bergamot Peel Oil by Pervaporation

Bergamot peel oil is highly attractive for food and pharmaceutical industries due to its content of valuable essential oil, which is enriched with high-added valuable compounds, such as limonene, linalool and linalyl acetate. Nevertheless, there are some limitations for the separation of such compounds. In this framework, pervaporation (PV) technology was proposed as a ...
