COMMUNICATION Sonocrystallization yields monoclinic paracetamol with significantly improved compaction behavior

Ultrasound-assisted crystallization (sonocrystallization) was used to prepare a mixture of nanoand micrometer-sized crystals of the monoclinic form of paracetamol − a widely used analgesic known for its particularly problematic mechanical behavior under compression (i.e. poor tabletability). The nanoand microsized crystals yielded a powder which exhibits elastic moduli and bulk cohesions that a...

Improved understanding of hyperaccumulation yields commercial phytoextraction and phytomining technologies.

This paper reviews progress in phytoextraction of soil elements and illustrates the key role of hyperaccumulator plant species in useful phytoextraction technologies. Much research has focused on elements which are not practically phytoextracted (Pb); on addition of chelating agents which cause unacceptable contaminant leaching and are cost prohibitive; and on plant species which offer no usefu...

A new route to improved glucose yields in cellulose hydrolysis

An unusual inverse temperature-dependent pathway was discovered for cellulose decrystallization in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Cellulose was completely decrystallized by TFA at 0 °C in less than 2 hours, a result not achieved in 48 hours at 25°C in the same medium. The majority of TFA used in cellulose decrystallization was recycled via a vacuum process. A small remaining amount of TFA was dilu...
