Two specimens of hydroxy aluminum phosphate interlayer materials in montmorillonite clay were prepared with 7.20 meq Al and 11.29 meq H3PO4/g clay and with 14.40 meq Al and 22.58 meq H3PO4/g clay, and the resulting complexes studied by chemical and mineralogical methods. Both interlayer materials were slightly positively charged and except for different water contents their chemical compositions were almost identical. They contained Al, PO4 and H2O and a minor amount of Ca and approximated hydrous AlPO4∙nH2O. The mole ratios of Al:Ca:PO4:OH were 1.00:0.08:0.92:0.24 and 1.00:0.05:0.91:0.24, respectively. The interlayer materials appeared to be loosely packed and distributed sparsely in interspaces of the montmorillonite. The degree of packing was greater for the preparation with the larger amount of interlayer material. The materials increased the montmorillonite basal spacing to 23.3 Å under air-dry condition (30–40% relative humidity) but did not affect the lateral dimensions. The basal spacing varied somewhat with relative humidity at room temperature and decreased markedly as water was driven off by heating. Heat treatments between room temperature and 300 C sharply reduced the d001 spacings to 16.7 Å which persisted up to 700 C. It is postulated that the large basal spacings occur because the hydrated interlayer materials have a framework structure with tunnels along the c-axis. This being so, changes in the spacings with different humidities might result from the movement of water molecules among interstitial spaces existing around and between the loosely distributed molecules of interlayer material. The 16.7 Å spacing for the dehydrated phase corresponds to the sum of 7.0 Å, the edge dimension of an orthorhombic anhydrous AlPO4 and 9.7 Å, the silicate layer thickness.

The influence of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDSN) on the formation of ZnO nanorods fromε-Zn(OH)2was investigated in this paper. Theε-Zn(OH)2precursor was prepared at room temperature using ZnSO4and NaOH as the reactants and then converted to ZnO nanorods after aging at 80°C in NaOH solution containing a minor amount of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDSN). The experimental results and the molecular simulation revealed that the influence of SDSN on the formation of ZnO fromε-Zn(OH)2should be attributed to the adsorption of SDSN onε-Zn(OH)2surfaces, which inhibited the dissolution ofε-Zn(OH)2in NaOH solution, leading to the formation of the ZnO nanorods with a diameter of 50–200 nm, a length of 3.0–15.0 μm, and an aspect ratio of 30–100.

Zr and/or Nb added Fe3Al based intermetallic alloys (i.e., Fe3Al-Zr, Fe3Al-Nb and Fe3Al-Zr-Nb) were arc-melted, homogenized, hot-rolled and then annealed to evaluate microstructure and tensile property at room temperature as well as at a high temperature (873K). After annealing, the rolled alloys exhibited a recrystallized microstructure containing coarse second phase particles, except for the Nb-added alloy with a minor content of Nb. Relatively high tensile elongation as well as high tensile strength was observed at room temperature in the Zr-added alloys with a minor amount of Zr. Also, these alloys showed relatively high tensile strength and elongation at high temperature (873K). The results suggest that tensile ductility as well as strength of Fe3Al-based alloys can be improved by introduction of the second phase dispersions.

Xenobiotic detoxification in plant as well as in animals has mostly been studied in relationship to the deactivation of the toxic residues of the compound that, surely for azoxystrobin, is represented by its β-methoxyacrylate portion. In maize roots treated for 96 h with azoxystrobin, the fungicide accumulated over time and detoxification compounds or conjugates appeared timewise. The main detoxified compound was the methyl ester hydrolysis product (azoxystrobin free acid, 390.14 m/z) thought to be inactive followed by the glutathione conjugated compounds identified as glutathione conjugate (711.21 m/z) and its derivative lacking the glycine residue from the GSH (654.19 m/z). The glycosylated form of azoxystrobin was also found (552.19 m/z) in a minor amount. The identification of these analytes was done by differential untargeted metabolomics analysis using Progenesis QI for label free spectral counting quantification and MS/MS confirmation of the compounds was carried out by either Data Independent Acquisition (DIA) and Data Dependent Acquisition (DDA) using high resolution LC-MS methods. Neutral loss scanning and comparison with MS/MS spectra of azoxystrobin by DDA and MSe confirmed the structures of these new azoxystrobin GSH conjugates.

Abstract Chlorosomcs containing BChl a790 have been isolated from Chloroflexus aurantiacus on sucrose density gradients using the detergents Miranol. Deriphat. N.N-dimethyldodecyl- aminc-N-oxidc, and dodecyl-p-D-rnaltoside. All freshly prepared samples cither lack the poly- peptide of approximately 5 kDa. which appears identical with the 5.6-kDa protein previously assigned the role of BChl c-binding [R. G. Feick and R. C. Fuller. Biochemistry 23, 3693- 3700 (1984)]. or they contain only a minor amount thereof. This polypeptide accumulates in the chlorosomcs in vitro at room temperature within 24 h after isolation. The reaction cannot be prevented simply by addition of the protease inhibitors benzamidinc. F.-caproic ac|d. and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. However, upon denaturation, as required lor gel electrophore- sis, of the freshly isolated chlorosome sample the formation of the 5-kDa polypeptide is inhibit- ed. We conclude that this species, viz. 5.6-kDa protein, is a degradation product of another - as yet unidentified - protein present in the chlorosome preparations. Despite the pronounced proteolytic activity which affords the 5-kDa fragment, the native absorption and fluorescence properties of BChl c and BChl a arc essentially not changed in these chlorosome preparations.

AbstractAn odorant screening by gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC–O) and a crude aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) applied to the volatiles isolated from a light and a dark liquid malt extract (LME) by solvent extraction and solvent-assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE) identified 28 odorants. Fifteen major odorants were subsequently quantitated and odour activity values (OAVs) were calculated as ratio of the concentration to the respective odour threshold value (OTV). Important odorants in the light LME included 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanal (OAV 1500), (E)-β-damascenone (OAV 430), and 4-ethenyl-2-methoxyphenol (OAV 91). In the dark LME, sotolon (OAV 780), 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanal (OAV 550), (E)-β-damascenone (OAV 410), acetic acid (OAV 160), and maltol (OAV 120) were of particular importance. To get an insight into the changes during malt extract production, the quantitations were extended to the malt used as the starting material for both LMEs. Addition of a minor amount of water to malt before volatile extraction was shown to be effective to cover the free as well as the bound malt odorants. Results showed that some LME odorants originated from the starting material whereas others were formed during processing. Important process-induced LME odorants included (E)-β-damascenone and 4-ethenyl-2-methoxyphenol in the light LME as well as maltol, sotolon, (E)-β-damascenone, and 2-methoxyphenol in the dark LME. In summary, the odorant formation during LME production was shown to be more important than the transfer of odorants from the malt.

The hydrolysis of 2-methoxy-2,3-dihydropyran shows a normal isotope effect (kH/kD > 1) under catalysis by the hydrogen ion and gives an accurately linear dependence of reaction rate upon undissociated acid concentration in cyanoacetic acid and formic acid buffer solutions. This substrate, therefore, unlike its higher homolog, 9-methoxyoxacyclonon-2-ene, provides no evidence in support of an anything but a normal mechanism for vinyl ether hydrolysis. Analysis of the hydrogen isotope effect suggests that a minor amount (8%) of this hydrolysis occurs via reaction of the acetal functional group.

Silica-based rubber composites have tremendous importance, as they allow the reduction in hysteresis in demanding dynamic-mechanical applications such as tire compounds and hence have a lower environmental impact. However, they also present drawbacks such as poor rheological behavior. In this work, an innovative silica-based hybrid filler system was developed, obtaining a rubber composite with an improved set of properties. A nanosized high surface area graphite (HSAG) was functionalized with 2-(2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)propane-1,3-diol, serinol pyrrole (SP), through a simple process characterized by a high carbon efficiency. The HSAG-SP adduct, with about nine parts of SP per hundred parts of carbon filler, was used to form a hybrid filler system with silica. An elastomeric composite, with poly(styrene-co-butadiene) from anionic polymerization and poly(1,4-cis-isoprene) from Hevea brasiliensis was prepared with 50 parts of silica, which was replaced in a minor amount (15%) by either pristine HSAG or HSAG-SP. The best set of composite properties was obtained with HSAG-SP: the same dynamic rigidity and hysteresis and tensile properties of the silica-based material and appreciably better rheological properties, particularly in terms of flowability. This work paves the way for a new generation of silica-based composites, with improved properties, based on a hybrid filler system with a nanosized edge functionalized graphite.

A combustion synthesis (SHS) process has been developed for the synthesis of Si3N4 powder under low nitrogen pressures. Si and NaN3 powders were used as the reactants, and NH4Cl powder was added as a catalytic agent. These powders were mixed and pressed into a cylindrical compact. The compact was wrapped up with an igniting agent (i.e., Ti + C), and the synthesis reaction was triggered by the combustion of the igniting agent. Addition of NH4Cl was found necessary for the combustion synthesis reaction under low nitrogen pressures (< 1.2 MPa). The product as synthesized is mostly in the form of agglomerated fine particles (0.1–1 μm in diameter) and is composed mainly of α-phase and a minor amount of β-phase. Effects of various experimental parameters (N2 pressure, NaN3, NH4Cl, and Si3N4 contents) on the product conversion and the combustion temperature were investigated. A possible reaction mechanism was proposed that explains the effects of the experimental parameters on the synthesis reaction.
