Busulphan (Bu) is an alkylating agent used in the conditioning regimen prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Bu is extensively metabolized in the liver via conjugations with glutathione to form the intermediate metabolite (sulfonium ion) which subsequently is degraded to tetrahydrothiophene (THT). THT was reported to be oxidized forming THT-1-oxide that is further oxidized to...

Abstract Waste tyre pyrolysis gasoline (WTPG) contain significant amount of aromatics such as benzene, toluene and xylenes (BTX) thus provide a good source for these value-added chemicals. Separation from aliphatic media obtained in WTPG naphtha is done commercially by solvent extraction using volatile organic solvents sulfolane (SUF), dimethylformamide (DMF) diethylene glycol (DEG). The high c...

A hierarchical hybrid method combining experimental-database-derived estimation of extraction performance, quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR)-based assessment IL physical and environmental properties, liquid–liquid (LLE) measurement, process evaluation is proposed to screen practically suitable ionic liquid (IL) solvents for different extractions. From the literature, 47 424 in...

Sixty R3SiX/solvent (S) and R2HSiX/S systems with R ) methyl, ethyl, butyl and S ) methylene chloride, DMPU, DMSO, sulfolane, HMPA, acetonitrile, pyridine, N-methylimidazole, and triethylamine were investigated with the help of NMR spectroscopy for different concentration ratios of R3SiX/S and R2HSiX/S as well as different temperatures. With the help of measured δ29Si and δ13C chemical shifts a...

Non-aqueous carbonate solvents have been the main choice for development of lithium-ion batteries, and similarly most research on sodium-ion batteries performed using carbonate-based solvents. However, differences between sodium lithium – in term chemistry/electrochemistry properties as well electrode materials used open up opportunities to a new look at that attracted little attention electrol...
