There are a lot of research programs focusing on the development new solvents for carbon dioxide capture. The most important priority should be reducing energy consumption needed at regeneration step, but minimizing solvent degradation and its corrosivity is also considered as priority. In this research, aqueous blends 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP: 1 kmol·m−3) 1-amino-2-propanol (MIPA: 0.1–...

A Rh porphyrin on carbon black was shown to catalyze the electro-oxidation of several aliphatic alcohols (ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol) and benzyl alcohols. The overpotentials for alcohol oxidation were very low. The reaction mechanism and substrate specificity are discussed.

Particulate matter (PM) is emitted from a range of combustion sources, can vary greatly in properties, and able to penetrate deep into the human lungs, conveying carcinogenic PAHs present on particle surface. Alcohol based biofuels have been shown potentially reduce PM emissions when displacing fossil fuels. To improve understanding influence fuel bound oxygen relative toxicity PM, this paper i...

The disposition of [(14)C]-labeled n-butyl glycidyl ether (BGE, 3-butoxy-1,2-epoxypropane) was studied in rats and mice. The majority of a single p.o. dose (2-200 mg/kg) was excreted in urine (rats, 84-92%; mice, 64-73%) within 24 h. The rest of the dose was excreted in feces (rats, 2.6-7.7%; mice, 5.3-12%) and in expired air as (14)CO(2) (rats, 1.5%; mice, 10-18%), or remained in the tissues (...

In this study, CeO2 hollow spherical nanoparticles, CeO2/SiO2 @ CeO2 core/shell composites,and hollow CeO2/SiO2 sensors were synthesized and their microstructures were researched byFT-IR, XRD, FESEM, EDX and BET analyses. The peaks observed in the FT-IR spectra of the synthesizedsamples corresponded to Ce-O stretching vibration (ca. 566 cm-1) and O-Si-O bendingvibration (ca. 470 cm-1). XRD diff...

LaMnO3 and LaMnO3/ZSM-5 nano catalysts were synthesized by Pechini method and their physical-chemical properties were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, UV-vis DRS, BET surface area and TPR. The correlation between characteristic properties and activity of catalysts were investigated. The catalytic performance of the catalysts was evaluated in combustion of 2-propanol...

Aqueous solutions of alcohols are interesting because of their anomalous behavior that is believed to be due to the molecular structuring of water and alcohol around each other in solution. The interfacial structuring and properties are significant for application in alcohol purification processes and biomolecular structure. Here we study aqueous mixtures of short alcohols (methanol, ethanol, 1...

Alcohol (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol and 1-butanol) and water vapor adsorption in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF-8, ZIF-71 and ZIF-90) with similar crystal sizes was systematically studied. The feasibility of applying these ZIF materials to the recovery of bio-alcohols is evaluated by estimating the vapor-phase alcohol-water sorption selectivity.

Ultraviolet light-induced free radical alkylation with 2-propanol or D-ribose, initiated with di-tert-butyl peroxide, of poly (G), poly (U20G), and poly(A) led to the substitution of the appropriate group for the H-8 atom of the purines and addition across the 5,6-double bond of the pyrimidines. The alkylated polynucleotides were subjected to nucleolytic digestion with several nucleases. T1-RNa...
