Mathematical Modeling of Carbon Dioxide Removal from the CO2/CH4 Gas Mixture Using Amines and Blend of Amines in Polypropylene: A Comparison between Hollow Fiber Membrane Contactor and Other Membranes

In this work, a mathematical model is established to describe the removal of CO2 from gaseous mixtures including CH4 and CO2 in a polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactor in the presence of conventional absorbents such as monoethanolamine (MEA), methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), and a blend of them. Modeling was performed in axial and radial directions under the fully-wet condition for counterc...

Nitrosamines and Aromatic Amines

A new method for the simultaneous determination of hemoglobin adducts from aromatic amines and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) is described. After mild base-catalysed hydrolysis releasing aromatic amines and the TSNA adduct 4-hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1butanone (HPB), the extraction, cleanup, and concentration are performed by a one-step procedure using C 1 8 cartridges. Determination in the p...

Trace Amines

Trace amines, which include b-phenylethylamine (PEA), tryptamine (T), phenylethanolamine (PEOH), tyramines (TAs), octopamines (OAs), and synephrine (SYN) [some authors include N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in this list], are amines related structurally to, but present in the brain at much lower concentrations than, the classical neurotransmitter amines – dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA), and 5...

Interaction of NBD-labelled fatty amines with liquid-ordered membranes: a combined molecular dynamics simulation and fluorescence spectroscopy study.

A complete homologous series of fluorescent 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl-(NBD) labelled fatty amines of varying alkyl chain lengths, NBD-Cn, inserted in 1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) or N-palmitoyl sphingomyelin (SpM) bilayers, with 50 mol% and 40 mol% cholesterol (Chol), respectively, was studied using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. For all amphiphile...
