Avaliou-se a capacidade de conversão de isoflavonas glicosiladas às suas formas agliconas pelo uso de β- glicosidase de Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 22786. A produção de daidzeína e genisteína foi acompanhada por 96 h de fermentação em estado sólido, usando-se farelo de soja e suspensão de esporos do fungo a 30ºC. Notou-se a conversão de glicosil-isoflavonas após 24 h e redução significativa na sua quantidade, depois de 48 h de fermentação. A atividade enzimática acompanhou a formação de produto até 72 h (0,2 UI/ mL), apresentando leve diminuição em 96 h (0,19 UI/ mL). Após 48 h obteve-se conversão total de daidzina e genistina, com formação de 551,1 e 17,2 µg/g de daidzeína e genisteína, respectivamente. A produção de genisteína, no entanto, mostrou-se significativamente superior em 24 h de fermentação (289,3 µg/g). Concluiuse que a β-glicosidase produzida por Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 22786 foi capaz de converter glicosilisoflavonas em agliconas por fermentação em estado sólido a 30ºC. CONVERSION OF SOY DAIDZEIN AND GENISTEIN BY β -GLUCOSIDASE OF Aspergillus oryzae Abstract The conversion capacity of glucoside isoflavones to aglycones by Aspergillus oryzae ATCC 2786 β-glucosidase was evaluated. The production of daidzein and genistein was observed for 96 h in solid state fermentation, by utilizing soy flour and a suspension of fungal spores at 30ºC. The conversion of glucoside isoflavones was noted after 24 h and a significant reduction in its quantity after 48 h of fermentation. The enzymatic activity followed the product formation until 72 h (0.2 UI/mL), showing a slight reduction in 96 h (0.19 UI/mL). After 48 h total conversion of daidzein and genistein was obtained, with formation of 551.1 and 17.2 µg/g of daidzein and genistein, respectively. The production of genistein, however, was significantly higher in 24 h of fermentation (289.3 µg/g). It was concluded that the produced β-glucosidase by Aspergillus oryzae was capable to convert glucoside isoflavones in to aglycones by solid state fermentation at 30ºC.

Starting from substituted alkynones, α-pyrones and/or 1H-pyridines were generated in a Michael addition–cyclocondensation with ethyl cyanoacetate. The peculiar product formation depends on the reaction conditions as well as on the electronic substitution pattern of the alkynone. While electron-donating groups furnish α-pyrones as main products, electron-withdrawing groups predominantly give the corresponding 1H-pyridines. Both heterocycle classes fluoresce in solution and in the solid state. In particular, dimethylamino-substituted α-pyrones, as donor–acceptor systems, display remarkable photophysical properties, such as strongly red-shifted absorption and emission maxima with daylight fluorescence and fluorescence quantum yields up to 99% in solution and around 11% in the solid state, as well as pronounced emission solvatochromism. Also a donor-substituted α-pyrone shows pronounced aggregation-induced emission enhancement.

Biotransformation of landfill solid wastes is a slow process requiring decades for completion. Accelerated anaerobic fermentation in modulated landfill environments may alleviate or eliminate pollution of land, water and air. This research was undertaken to demonstrate the application of biphasic fermentation to a simulated laboratory-scale landfill to effect rapid biomethanation of biodegradable solids. The biphasic process consisted of solid-state, acidogenic fermentation of the organic fraction of MSW followed by biomethanation of acidic hydrolysates in a separate methane fermenter. Solid-state fermentation of the MSW with effluent recirculation resulted in rapid hydrolysis, acidification and denitrification, with soluble COD and VFA concentrations accumulating to inhibitory levels of 60,000 mg/l and 13,000 mg/l, respectively, at a pH of 4.5. The landfill gas methane concentration reached a maximum of 55 mol.%. By comparison, the methanogenic reactor produced high methane-content (70–85 mol.%) gases. The biphasic process effected carbohydrate, lipid, and protein conversion efficiencies of 90%, 49%, and 37%, respectively. Development of a Monod-type product-formation model was undertaken to predict methane formation and to determine kinetic parameters for the methanogenic processes in the simulated landfill and separate methane reactors. A first-order solids hydrolysis rate constant of 0.017 day−1 was evaluated to show that landfill solids hydrolysis was slower than the inhibited methanogenesis rate.

Abstract In this work we investigate the mechanism of product formation of the aluminothermic reaction of Fe2O3 in the presence of Al2O3 using Ball Milling and Self-propagating High-temperature techniques. Results obtained by experiments under either argon or air atmosphere are analysed by X-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy, together with microstructure observations. It is shown that ball milling products are strongly affected by the kind of atmosphere, while self-propagating high-temperature ones are only weakly influenced. Reaction mechanisms taking place in these cases are proposed. While ball milling involves only solid state reactions, the formation of a melt occurs under self-propagating high-temperature conditions.

A systematic study of the synthesis of V2O5nanostructured materials using macromolecular PS-co-4-PVP·(VCl3)yand chitosan·(VCl3)ycomplexes is presented. It is demonstrated that various coordination degrees of the metal into the polymeric chain specifically influence the product formation after pyrolysis. PS-co-4-PVP·(VCl3)yand chitosan·(VCl3)ycomplexes were prepared by simple coordination reaction of VCl3with the respective polymer in molar ratios 1 : 1, 1 : 5, and 1 : 10 metal/polymer and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and TGA/DSC analysis. Solid-state thermolysis of these precursors at several temperatures under air results in nanostructured V2O5using all precursors. The size and shape of the nanostructured V2O5depend on the nature of the polymer. For the chitosan·(VCl3)yprecursors sub-10 nm nanocrystals are formed. The calcination process, involved in the preparation method, produces V2O5with photoluminescence in the visible light region, suggesting the possible application in oxygen sensing devices.

Abstract The highest performance flow cells capable of electrolytically converting CO2 into higher value chemicals and fuels pass a concentrated hydroxide electrolyte across the cathode. A major problem for CO2 electrolysis is that this strongly alkaline medium converts the majority of CO2 into unreactive HCO3– and CO32– rather than CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) products. The electrolysis of CO (instead of CO2) does not suffer from this same problem because CO does not react with hydroxide. Moreover, CO can be more readily converted into products containing two or more carbon atoms (i.e., C2+ products). While several solid-state electrocatalysts have proven competent at converting CO into C2+ products, we demonstrate here that molecular electrocatalysts are also effective at mediating this transformation in a flow cell. Using a molecular copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) electrocatalyst, CO was electrolyzed into C2+ products at high rates of product formation (i.e., current densities J ≥200 mA/cm2), and at high Faradaic efficiencies for C2+ production (FEC2+; 72% at 200 mA/cm2). These findings present a new class of electrocatalysts for making carbon-neutral chemicals and fuels.

Cadmium telluride has become increasingly important in a number of technological applications, particularly in the area of laser-optical components and solid state devices, Microstructural characterizations of the material have in the past been somewhat limited because of the lack of suitable sample preparation and thinning techniques. Utilizing a modified jet thinning apparatus and a potassium dichromate-sulfuric acid thinning solution, a procedure has now been developed for obtaining thin contamination-free samples for TEM examination.
