The catalytic esterification of n-propyl propionate using propionic acid and n-propyl alcohol as reactants via a conventional pilot plant reactive distillation column was carried-out. The strongly acidic ion-exchange resin Amberlyst46TM was used as the solid acid catalyst. The influence of the reflux ratio (from 2.0 to 2.5), the molar feed ratio (from 2.0 to 2.5), and total feed (from 3.0 to 4....

Purified gangliosides were radiolabeled by exposure to sodium boro [3H]hydride in the presence of palladium on barium sulfate. After centrifugation to remove the catalyst, borate was complexed with mannitol and the resulting mannitoborate complex and salts were removed by reversed phase chromatography. The labeled gangliosides were repurified by ion exchange and silica gel chromatographies. Rad...

Exfoliated poly (Chloromethyl styrene-co-styrene)-g-polyacrylonitryle/organo- modified montmorillonite [P(CMSt-co-St)-g-PAN/O-MMT] nanocomposite was synthesized through solution intercalation method by using atom transfer and nitroxide mediated radical polymerization. At first, poly (chloromethyl styrene-costyrene) copolymer was synthesized by nitroxide - mediated “living” free radical polyme...

Nafion (Nf)-thionine (Th) ion-pair as dispersant and second catalyst has been introduced in Pt catalyst for methanol electrooxidation and the resulting catalyst supported on carbon (NfThPt/C) has been investigated by electrochemical method. For the same loading mass of Pt, the peak current density of methanol oxidation on the NfThPt/C/graphite electrode is about 7.25 and 3.04 times as high as t...

Isomerization of linear alkanes has had considerable importance for the refining industry because the isomers formed in this reaction have high octane number. Most works reported in the literature studied the use of bifunctional catalysts, i.e., ones that have acid sites and metallic sites. In this study, bifunctional monometallic (Ni or Pt) and bimetallic catalysts (Pt-Ni), using HUSY zeolite ...

Background: Due to multiple roles of albumin in the body, injection of its medicinal product as one of the therapeutic or management strategies under conditions such as severe bleeding, burns, liver failure, and neonatal hemolytic diseases is on the physicians' agenda. Considering that albumin is the most abundant plasma protein, designing an appropriate method to purify it is highly important....

Catalytic use of peroxomolybdate for asymmetric transformations has attracted increasing attention due to its catalytic properties and application in catalysis. Herein, we report chiral bisguanidinium dinuclear oxodiperoxomolybdosulfate [BG]2+[(μ-SO4)Mo2O2(μ-O2)2(O2)2]2- ion pair, as a catalyst for enantioselective sulfoxidation using aqueous H2O2 as the terminal oxidant. The ion pair catalyst ...

introduction : albumin, one of the most important plasma proteins, has a difficult process of synthesis and production. we compared two different methods for albumin purification: carboxymethyl cellulose (cm cellulose) resin exchange and diethylaminoethyl cellulose (deae cellulose) resin exchange in order to determine which resin could be more beneficial. materials and methods : two ion exchang...

background:the dynamic binding capacity (dbc) of a chromatography matrix in protein purification is the amount of the total protein absorbed into the matrix, before occurrence of a significant break in the breakthrough curve. optimization of the process criteria for maximum dbc avoids extra process scale-up and reduces the processing time, costs and protein loss. taguchi method is a simple usef...

a mathematical model of sorption of zirconium and hafnium cations mixture and elution of these ions from a cation exchange resin bed is developed. sulfuric acid is selected as the eluent for selective separation of zr and hf in a packed bed of dowex cation exchange resin. the column model is a dispersed plug flow model,and assumed to consist of randomly packed synthetic and spherical resin bead...
