Shrimp processing industries produces shrimp waste by 30-75% is wasted without being processed causing environmental pollution. The purpose of this study examines efforts to produce monomers of chitin hydrolysis of colloidal chitin compound derived from shrimp shells are chemically (hydrochloric acid and nitric acid) to produce N acetyl glucosamine bioactive compounds that have health benefits. The method used in this study is the optimization of chemical hydrolysis conditions using a solution of HCl and HNO3. On determining the optimum time to sample variation colloidal chitin 0,5%, 1% and 2%, the sample is heated with time variation 1,3,6, 9,12, and 24 hours at a temperature of 60 oC and the concentration of acid was 4 M. In the determination of the optimum temperature, each sample was heated at a temperature variation of 40, 60, and 80 oC at the optimum time (9 hours ) and acid concentration of 4 M. In the determination of the optimum concentration of acid, each sample was heated at a temperature and the optimum reaction time. Production results showed the highest compound N acetyl glucosamine as 623.3 ppm, using hydrochloric acid hydrolysis reaches optimum temperature 40° C, the optimum reaction time 9 hours, the optimum concentration of 4 M hydrochloric acid, the concentration of 2% colloidal chitin. Production of N acetyl glucosamine supreme as 625.83 ppm, using nitric acid hydrolysis reaches optimum temperature 60° C, the optimum reaction time 9 hours, the optimum concentration of 4M nitric acid, and the concentration of 1% colloidal chitin. Therefore we can conclude the results of 1% colloidal chitin hydrolysis using nitric acid more efficiently produce N acetyl glucosamine than hydrochloric acid, due to the temperature, reaction time, and acid concentration are not the same ability to hydrolyze colloidal chitin. Differences in the results of hydrolysis reached 11,59 ppm. Keywords : Chitin, N acetyl glucosamine, acid hydrolysis, optimum reaction

Abstract The amount of lignin reacting according to the slow residual phase, i.e. the residual phase lignin, is in many perspectives an interesting issue. The purpose of the present investigation was to develop a mathematical model to show how the amount of residual phase lignin in the kraft cooking of spruce chips (Picm ahies) depends on the conditions in the earlier phases of the cook. The variables studied were hydroxide ion concentration, hydrogen sulfide ion concentration and ionic strength. The liquor-to-wood ratio during pulping was very high to maintain approximately constant chemical concentrations throughout each experiment (so called "constant composition" cooks). An increase in hydroxide ion concentration andtor hydrogen sulfide ion concentration leads to a decrease in the amount of residual phase lignin, while an increase in ionic strength, i.e. sodium ion concentration, leads to an increase. A signiticant result is that the hydrogen sulfide ion concentration has a pronounced influence on the amount of residual phase lignin during a cook at a low hydroxide ion concentration. The amount of residual phase lignin expressed as % lignin on wood, L,, can be described by the following equation developed for "constant composition" cooks (when cooking with a constant sodium ion concentration of 2 mol/L): LT=0,55-0.32*[HO-](-1,3)*ln[HS-] This equation is valid for a concentration of HO- in the range from 0.17 to 1.4, and a hydrogen sulfide ion concentration from 0.07 to 0.6 mol/L.

The response surface methodology was employed to optimize the synthesis conditions of seleno-Sargassum fusiforme(Harv.) Setch. polysaccharide. Three independent variables (reaction time, reaction temperature, and ratio of Na2SeO3to SFPSI) were tested. Furthermore, the characterization and antioxidant activity of Se-SFPSIin vivowere investigated. The result showed that the actual experimental Se content of Se-SFPSI was 3.352 mg/g at the optimum reaction conditions of reaction time 8 h, reaction temperature 71°C, and ratio of Na2SeO3to SFPSIB 1.0 g/g. A series of experiments showed that the characterization of Se-SFPSIB was significantly different from that of SFPSIB. Additionally, antioxidant activity assay indicated that the Se-SFPSIB could increase catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity of mice bearing tumor S180in blood, heart, and liver while decreasing malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. It can be concluded that selenylation is a feasible approach to obtain seleno-polysaccharide which was utilized as highly biological medicine or functional food.

The synthesis of faujasite-type zeolite from superalkaline reaction mixtures are described. The contribution shows the influence of component K2O added in the system Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O with H2O/(K2O + Na2O) = 13-15. The reaction course was investigated in the range K2O/(K2O + Na2O) from about 0.07 to 0.5. Under used conditions it is quite possible to isolate faujasite-type zeolite as a single crystalline phase. By means of IR spectroscopy, low SiO2/Al2O3 ratios from 2.0 to 2.1 in the faujasite framework have been indicated. The low SiO2/Al2O3 ratios are interpreted by a higher stability of the Si-O-Al- than the Si-O-Si- bond with increasing hydroxyl ion concentration.

CDAP (1-cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridine tetrafluoroborate) is employed in the synthesis of conjugate vaccines as a cyanylating reagent. In the published method, which used pH 9 activation at 20 °C (Vaccine, 14:190, 1996), the rapid reaction made the process difficult to control. Here, we describe optimizing CDAP activation using dextran as a model polysaccharide. CDAP stability and reactivity were determined as a function of time, pH and temperature. While the rate of dextran activation was slower at lower pH and temperature, it was balanced by the increased stability of CDAP, which left more reagent available for reaction. Whereas maximal activation took less than 2.5 min at pH 9 and 20 °C, it took 10–15 min at 0 °C. At pH 7 and 0 °C, the optimal time increased to >3 h to achieve a high level of activation. Many buffers interfered with CDAP activation, but DMAP could be used to preadjust the pH of polysaccharide solutions so that the pH only needed to be maintained. We found that the stability of the activated dextran was relatively independent of pH over the range of pH 1–9, with the level of activation decreased by 40–60% over 2 h. The use of low temperature and a less basic pH, with an optimum reaction time, requires less CDAP, improving activation levels while making the process more reliable and easier to scale up.

Biodiesel is a promising renewable energy source that can replace fossil fuel, but its production is limited by a lack of high-efficiency catalysts for mass production and popularization. In this study, we developed a biocatalytic Pickering emulsion using multiwall carbon nanotube-immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB@PE) to produce biodiesel, with J. curcas L. seed oil and methanol as substrates. The morphology of CALB@PE was characterized in detail. A central composite design of the response surface methodology (CCD-RSM) was used to study the effects of the parameters on biodiesel yield, namely the amount of J. curcas L. seed oil (1.5 g), molar ratio of methanol to oil (1:1–7:1), CALB@PE dosage (20–140 mg), temperature (30–50 °C), and reaction time (0–24 h). The experimental responses were fitted with a quadratic polynomial equation, and the optimum reaction conditions were the methanol/oil molar ratio of 4.64:1, CALB@PE dosage of 106.87 mg, and temperature of 34.9 °C, with a reaction time of 11.06 h. A yield of 95.2%, which was basically consistent with the predicted value of 95.53%, was obtained. CALB@PE could be reused up to 10 times without a substantial loss of activity. CALB@PE exhibited better reusability than that of Novozym 435 in the process of biodiesel production.

ABSTRACTCadmium sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted route in aqueous dispersion. The cadmium sulfide nanoparticles showed an average diameter around 5 nm and a cubic phase corresponding to hawleyite. The aqueous dispersions of the nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, luminescence analysis, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The addition of sodium hydroxide solutions at different concentrations causes a red-shift in the wavelength of the first excitonic absorption peak of the cadmium sulfide nanoparticles, indicating a reduction of the band gap energy. Besides, the intensity of the luminescence of the nanoparticle dispersions was increased. However, there is a threshold concentration of the hydroxide ion above which the precipitation of the cadmium sulfide nanoparticles occurs.
