The 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA)-related designer drug 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA, Eve) is a chiral compound that is mainly metabolized by N-deethylation and demethylenation during phase I metabolism. The involvement of several cytochrome P450 (P450) isozymes in these metabolic steps has been demonstrated by inhibition assays using human liver microsomes. However, a c...

Addition of ammonium acetate fo llowed by commerc ial zinc dust to the solution of azo compounds in methanol appcars to o ffer a general and convenient mea ns for reducing bot h sym metri ca l and unsymmetrical azo compounds to the corresponding amine/s at ambient temperature. Many other reducible and hydrogenolysable groups like -OCH1. -OH. -COOH, -CH1• -COCH) and halogens are to lerated. The ...

Monoethanolamine (MEA) scrubbing is an energy-intensive process for carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) due to the regeneration of amine in stripping towers at high temperature (100–120°C) and the subsequent pressurization of CO2 for geological sequestration. In this paper, we introduce a novel method, reactive hydrothermal liquid phase densification (rHLPD), which is able to solidify (densi...

Due to the adverse effect of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion on the earth’s ecosystems, the most cost effective method for CO2 capture is an important area of research. The predominant process for CO2 capture currently employed by industry is chemical absorption in amine solutions. A dynamic model for the deabsorption process was developed with Monoethanolamine solution. Henry’s law was used fo...

The solubility of CO2 in the primary, secondary, tertiary and sterically hindered amine aqueous solutions at various conditions was studied. In the present work, the Modified Kent-Eisenberg (M-KE), the Extended Debye-Hückel (E-DH) and the Pitzer models were employed to study the solubility of CO2 in amine aqueous solutions. Two explicit equations are presented to evalu...

Three different protocols for the preparation of polymer layered silicate nanocomposites based upon a tri-functional epoxy resin, triglycidyl para-amino phenol (TGAP), have been compared in respect of the cure kinetics, the nanostructure and their mechanical properties. The three preparation procedures involve 2 wt% and 5 wt% of organically modified montmorillonite (MMT), and are: isothermal cu...

Aqueous solutions of amines are often used to remove CO2, H2S and COS from a large number of industrial gas streams. There are several different processes, each suiting a certain application. A recent advance in gas treating technology is the application of sterically hindered amines, which offer capacity advantages for CO2 over commercial amines such as monoethanolamine (MEA) (Sartori and Sava...

Results for novel amino silicone physical properties to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) were discussed in this article, that also investigated their potential economic benefits versus traditional amine solvents, such as monoethanolamine (MEA). A range of differing solvents tested density, viscosity, vapor pressure, and heat value. The showed better results than conventional CO2 removal, demonstrat...
