2-Propanol/acetone is a promising LOHC (Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier) system for fuel cell reactions. In this paper six different concepts 2-propanol/acetone are evaluated in Matlab simulation with respect to their thermodynamic integration and technical feasibility. Four of the use direct 2-propanol while other two first release molecular hydrogen from subsequently cell. The presented liqui...

Reproducible images of uncoated DNA in the atomic force microscope (AFM) have been obtained by imaging plasmid DNA on mica in n-propanol. Specially sharpened AFM tips give images with reproducible features several nanometers in size along the DNA. Plasmids can be dissected in propanol by increasing the force applied by the AFM tip at selected locations.

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.

BACKGROUND Production of the versatile bulk chemical 1,2-propanediol and the potential biofuel 1-propanol is still dependent on petroleum, but some approaches to establish bio-based production from renewable feed stocks and to avoid toxic intermediates have been described. The biotechnological workhorse Corynebacterium glutamicum has also been shown to be able to overproduce 1,2-propanediol by ...

Drug solubility is one of the most significant physicochemical properties as it related to drug design, formulation, quantification, recrystallization, and other processes, so understanding crucial for pharmaceutical industry. In this context, research presents thermodynamic analysis sulfadiazine (SD) in cosolvent mixtures {acetonitrile + 1-propanol} at 9 temperatures (278.15 K–318.15 K), which...

The impact of feedstock impurities on catalytic process is among the crucial issues for processing real raw materials. A and model 92%-bioethanol contaminated with 0.03–0.3% mol 1-propanol or 2-propanol were used to make ethylene a proprietary alumina catalyst in isothermal flow reactor. We proposed formal kinetic describe impure bioethanol conversion byproducts it evaluate multi-tubular reacto...

Effects of 2-nitro-1-propanol, 2-nitroethanol, nitroethane, and 2-nitro-methyl-propionate (0, 10, and 20 mM) on growth of Campylobacter jejuni were tested during culture in Bolton broth adjusted to pH 5.6, 7.0, or 8.2. The nitrocompounds were similarly tested against C. coli but at pH 8.2 only. Viable cell counts measured during incubation revealed main effects (P < 0.05) of all nitrocompounds ...

OBJECTIVES To test the effects of several biocides [N-propanol, a commercially available propanol/ethanol/chlorhexidine mixture, polyvinylpyrolidone (povidone-iodine) and hydrogen peroxide] on established biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from patients with cardiac implant infections and catheter-related bacteraemia. METHODS Biofilms were grown in microtitre plates for 24 h, dye...

DNA on mica can be imaged in the atomic force microscope (AFM) in water or in some buffers if the sample has first been dehydrated thoroughly with propanol or by baking in vacuum and if the sample is imaged with a tip that has been deposited in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Without adequate dehydration or with an unmodified tip, the DNA is scraped off the substrate by AFM-imaging in a...

In this study, the potential hepatotoxicity of 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol and its hepatotoxic mechanisms in rats was investigated. The test chemical was administered orally to male rats at 0, 27.5, 55, and 110 mg/kg body weight. 1,3-Dichloro-2-propanol administration caused acute hepatotoxicity, as evidenced by an increase in serum aminotransferases, total cholesterol, and total bilirubin levels a...
