In this review, the effect of organic solvents on microalgae cultures from molecular to industrial scale is presented. Traditional organic solvents and solvents of new generation-ionic liquids (ILs), are considered. Alterations in microalgal cell metabolism and synthesis of target products (pigments, proteins, lipids), as a result of exposure to organic solvents, are summarized. Applications of...

in this study, the fluorogenic efficiency of fluorescamine for spectrofluorimetric analysis of primary amines was investigated. different mixtures of dichloromethane and other organic solvents were used for evaluation of fluorescence stability and intensity of fluorescamine derivative (pyrrolinone). solvents such as acetonitrile (acn), tetrahydrofuran (thf) and dioxane increase stability and in...

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study nanoscale friction between two Si~111! surfaces covered with alkyl monolayers immersed in liquid solvents. Three pairs of interfaces, ranging from hydrophobic CH3 /CH3 to hydrophilic OH/OH, were studied. Three solvents, including water, methanol, and n-decane were used to represent different solvent polarities. It was showed ...

The electrooxidation of 1,2,4-benzenetriol was studied in different non-aqueous solvents. results showed that the substance can be oxidized several ways on electrode surface due to favourable positions hydroxyl groups (similarly hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol). In most cases one anodic peak appeared involving all possible processes. concentration dependence voltammetric currents using pl...
