Abstract Radioactivity applied to rubber technology encompasses such diverse areas as the effect of radiation on elastomers, use of strong gamma and beta sources for process control, and isotope methods to measure tire tread wear. These applications of radioisotopes have received considerable attention in recent years and the principles and techniques have been discussed extensively in both reviews and original papers. Significant contributions, however, have also been made in advancing elastomer technology through analytical use of radioisotopes of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, and other beta-emitters, as well as by special radioisotope techniques. This survey discusses recent advances achieved with beta-emitters in vulcanization, diffusion, dispersion, adsorption, coagulation, and determination of functional groups in polymers. In addition, the value of activation analysis and other radioisotope investigative methods for characterization of elastomers is shown.

: Iodine(III)-based reagents has been broadly used in oxidative reactions for the structural functionalization with several functional groups. Among the more relevant and useful synthetic transformations using these hypervalent γ 3 -reagents, it can be found the fluorination, chlorination, bromination as well as the iodination protocols. Herein, we present some of the most representatives oxidative halogenation procedures of arenes, olefins and alkynes dating from the oldest to the more recent advances in the area, highlighting the discovery and application of new iodine(III)-based halogenating species.

Olive trees constitute one of the largest agroindustries in the Mediterranean area, and their cultivation generates a diverse pool of biomass by-products such as olive tree pruning (OTP), olive leaves (OL), olive stone (OS), and extracted olive pomace (EOP). These lignocellulosic materials have varying compositions and potential utilization strategies within a biorefinery context. The aim of this work was to carry out an integral analysis of the aqueous extractives fraction of these biomasses. Several analytical methods were applied in order to fully characterize this fraction to varying extents: a mass closure of >80% was reached for EOP, >76% for OTP, >65% for OS, and >52% for OL. Among the compounds detected, xylooligosaccharides, mannitol, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, and hydroxytyrosol were noted as potential enhancers of the valorization of said by-products. The extraction of these compounds is expected to be more favorable for OTP, OL, and EOP, given their high extractives content, and is compatible with other utilization strategies such as the bioconversion of the lignocellulosic fraction into biofuels and bioproducts.

This work reports the use of GC-QTOF-MS to obtain a deep characterization of terpenoid compounds recovered from olive leaves, which is one of the largest by-products generated by the olive oil industry. This work includes an innovative supercritical CO2 fractionation process based on the online coupling of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and dynamic adsorption/desorption for the selective enrichment of terpenoids in the different olive leaves extracts. The selectivity of different commercial adsorbents such as silica gel, zeolite, and aluminum oxide was evaluated toward the different terpene families present in olive leaves. Operating at 30 MPa and 60 °C, an adsorbent-assisted fractionation was carried out every 20 min for a total time of 120 min. For the first time, GC-QTOF-MS allowed the identification of 40 terpenoids in olive leaves. The GC-QTOF-MS results indicate that silica gel is a suitable adsorbent to partially retain polyunsaturated C10 and C15 terpenes. In addition, aluminum oxide increases C20 recoveries, whereas crystalline zeolites favor C30 terpenes recoveries. The different healthy properties that have been described for terpenoids makes the current SFE-GC-QTOF-MS process especially interesting and suitable for their revalorization.
