2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a valuable compound that can be synthesized from biomass-derived hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and holds great potential as promising replacement for petroleum-based terephthalic in the production of polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes used universally. However, an economical large-scale strategy HMF lignocellulosic biomass yet to established. This study ai...

The ultimate check of the actual dose delivered to a patient in radiotherapy can only be achieved by using in vivo dosimetry. This work reports a pilot study to test the applicability of a thermoluminescent dosimetric system for performing in vivo entrance dose measurements in external photon beam radiotherapy. The measurements demonstrated the value of thermoluminescent dosimetry as a treatmen...

Depolymerization behavior polyesters (poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylate) (PEN)) in suband supercritical water was investigated for the purpose of monomer recycling. In case of the depolymerization of PET, the yield of terephthalic acid (TPA) increased to 90 % with increasing reaction temperature up to 693 K while the maximum yield of ethylene gly...

A novel technique is described that uses either time-resolved or steady state prompt photosensitizer fluorescence to measure local oxygen concentration. Solution experiments conducted with Al(III) phthalocyanine chloride tetrasulfonic acid confirmed that the steady state fluorescence signal is dependent on the oxygen concentration and fluence rate. A relationship between prompt sensitizer fluor...

1:1 salt of Disopyramide (DPA) with Terephthalic acid (TA) was obtained by the slow solvent evaporation and slurry crystallization methods. X-ray single crystal diffraction DPA:TA confirmed formation transfer an acidic proton from one carboxylic groups TA to tertiary amino group chain moiety (N3-nitrogen atom) DPA molecules. crystals crystalize in triclinic system space P-1. The asymmetric unit...
