The influence of the flow rate on parameters of bifunctional catalysts with different dehydrating components in the synthesis of methanol/dimethyl ether (DME) from synthesis gas (19.1 vol.% CO, 5.9 vol.% CO2, 5.5 vol.% N2, rest H2) at 260 °C and 3 MPa was studied. The commercial catalyst Megamax 507 was used as the methanol agent and active γ-alumina as dehydrating agent, quartz glass, which is inert to methanol dehydration, being used for comparison. At flow rate below 20,000 L·(kgcat·h)–1, the conversion of CO and oxygenate capacity (calculated as C1) was higher over alumina-containing samples than over quartz glass. This observation was accounted for by a decrease in the rate of the reverse reaction of methanol with water at the partial conversion of methanol to DME to lead eventually to an increase in the methanol yield. The benefit of the one-stage synthesis against two-stage synthesis of oxygenates depended on the load: as the load increased, the difference in the capacity went through maximum.

SummaryThe objective of this study was to examine ultrastructural aspects of bovine in vitro-produced blastocysts associated with cryopreservation by vitrification. Morphologically good embryos were used and treated with ethylene-glycol-based vitrification solution (VS). The untreated embryos had conventional fine structure. The post-warming embryos treated with direct exposure to VS (one-step procedure) showed cellular damage structurally by cryopreservation, which included loss of microvilli, disruption of the plasma membrane, mitochondrial changes and swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum. However, nuclei and junctional regions seemed to be resistant to cryoinjury. In contrast, the post-warming embryos pre-equilibra ted with 10% ethylene glycol for 5 min and subsequent exposure to VS (two-step procedure) showed less damage than those treated by the one-step procedure. Post-warming embryos treated by the two-step procedure were cultured in vitro for 18 h. Some embryos survived and their structures re-formed to the former state, while other embryos showed serious injuries and could not reconstitute the blastocoele. Three post-warming embryos treated by the two-step procedure that survived after in vitro culture were transferred to three recipients and one of these resulted in pregnancy. These results indicate that cryopreservation by vitrification can damage membranous structures of the cells of bovine embryos, the extent and nature of this damage being dependent on the vitrification procedure.

Photocatalysis combined with membrane technology could offer an enormous potential for power generation in a renewable and sustainable way. Herein, we describe the one-step hydrogen and oxygen evolution through a photocatalytic membrane reactor. Experimental tests were carried out by means of a two-compartment cell in which a modified Nafion membrane separated the oxygen and hydrogen evolution semi-cells, while iron ions permeating through the membrane acted as a redox mediator. Nanosized Au/TiO2 and Au/CeO2 were employed as suspended photocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen generation, respectively. The influence of initial Fe3+ ion concentration, ranging from 5 to 20 mM, was investigated, and the best results in terms of hydrogen and oxygen evolution were registered by working with 5 mM Fe3+. The positive effect of gold on the overall water splitting was confirmed by comparing the photocatalytic results obtained with the modified/unmodified titania and ceria. Au-loading played a key role for controlling the photocatalytic activity, and the optimal percentage for hydrogen and oxygen generation was 0.25 wt%. Under irradiation with visible light, hydrogen and oxygen were produced in stoichiometric amounts. The crucial role of the couple Fe3+/Fe2+ and of the membrane on the performance of the overall photocatalytic system was found.

The increasing demand for producing dimethyl ether from synthesis gas explains the renewed interest in studying the activity and stability of catalysts. In the present work, resource catalytic testing of ZSM-5 zeolites was carried out in the one-step synthesis of dimethyl ether from synthesis gas for 120 hours. Formation of condensation products was observed on zeolite surface after catalytic tests which leads to lower catalytic activity of samples. Condensation products were investigated by thermal analysis in an oxidizing atmosphere. Textural characteristics of zeolites before and after reaction were investigated. It was shown that methanol significantly contribute to formation of condensation products on the catalyst surface in the process of dimethyl ether production.

Semi-crystalline poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) can be efficiently prepared by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) initiated by amine using various catalysts. More promising results were reached with the one-step process of stannous octanoate unlike the two-step one-pot reaction using TBD and MSA catalysts. The ROP-amine of TMC consists in a simple isocyanate free process to produce polycarbonate-urethanes, compatible with the large availability of amines ranging from mono- to multifunctional until natural amino acids. ROP-amine of TMC leads to urethane bonds monitored by FTIR spectroscopy. The relationship between the nature of amines and the crystallinity of PTMC was discussed through X-ray diffraction and thermal studies by DSC and TGA. The impact of the crystallinity was also demonstrated on the mechanical properties of semi-crystalline PTMC in comparison to amorphous PTMC, synthesized by ROP initiated by alcohol. The semi-crystalline PTMC synthesized by ROP-amine opens many perspectives.
