An experiment was carried out to utilize the crab shell waste for the production of chitin by chemical extraction method. The obtained chitin was processed to make the more useful compound chitosan by deacetylation of chitin using strong NaOH solution at high temperature. Yield of chitin and chitosan from crab shell waste was found to be 12.2 % and 10.54 %, respectively. Chitosan was further used to produce chito-oligosaccharides (COS) by acid hydrolysis using 0.5 N H2SO4, 1N H2SO4 and 7N HCl at hourly intervals upto 6 hours and the average yield was 0.55, 0.84 and 1.93 mg/ml, respectively. Chitin and chitosan were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) technique which depicts different band representing various bonds present in the molecule and which were in agreement with the bands of standard chitin and chitosan. Further, COS were formed after acid hydrolysis of chitosan, which was characterized by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) using glucosamine as a standard.

Sherry wine vinegar is a Spanish gourmet product under Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). Before a vinegar can be labeled as Sherry vinegar, the product must meet certain requirements as established by its PDO, which, in this case, means that it has been produced following the traditional solera and criadera ageing system. The quality of the vinegar is determined by many factors such as the raw material, the acetification process or the aging system. For this reason, mainly producers, but also consumers, would benefit from the employment of effective analytical tools that allow precisely determining the origin and quality of vinegar. In the present study, a total of 48 Sherry vinegar samples manufactured from three different starting wines (Palomino Fino, Moscatel, and Pedro Ximénez wine) were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The spectroscopic data were combined with unsupervised exploratory techniques such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA), as well as other nonparametric supervised techniques, namely, support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF), for the characterization of the samples. The HCA and PCA results present a clear grouping trend of the vinegar samples according to their raw materials. SVM in combination with leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) successfully classified 100% of the samples, according to the type of wine used for their production. The RF method allowed selecting the most important variables to develop the characteristic fingerprint (“spectralprint”) of the vinegar samples according to their starting wine. Furthermore, the RF model reached 100% accuracy for both LOOCV and out-of-bag (OOB) sets.

ABSTRACTIn this study, 3 types of zwitterionic phospholipid biosurfactants LDP(S), CDP(S) and CTDP(S) were prepared from 3 different raw materials such as rapeseed oil, coconut oil and cottonseed oil respectively. The structure of the resulting phospholipid biosurfactants was elucidated by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopies and their interfacial properties have been examined such as CMC, static surface tension, wetting property, solution stability, and foam property. Interfacial property measurement and prescription test in cosmetic formulation prepared with the newly synthesized biosurfactants revealed that CDP(S) biosurfactant possesses excellent mildness and superior interfacial properties, indicating the potential applicability in cosmetic product formulations.

In the present work, the characterization of monolithic materials formulated at different weight concentrations was conducted; employing two of the ceramic materials most used in the refractory industry, zircon and alumina. These monolithic materials were fabricated using colloidal techniques, specifically plaster casting mold, in order to obtain pieces with a higher particle consolidation and density, reducing porosity to lower values than the obtained using traditional shaping process of these materials. The monoliths were obtained employing two ceramic powders with different average particle size and morphology to achieve better packing in the green body. This characterization was carried out, firstly, determining the particle size of the raw materials by laser diffraction and the evaluation of particle morphology by scanning electron microscopy. Aqueous suspensions were formulated by containing both ceramic materials, which were dispersed with Tamol 963, and analyzed by rheometric techniques. Subsequently, bars were manufactured having the following dimensions; 4 mm wide, 3 mm thick and 45 mm in length, according to ASTM C1161-02cc, to be characterized microstructural and mechanically, also was observed the fracture habit after the mechanical test. As a final result, the materials formulated at higher alumina content showed higher density values, reaching 94.95% of the theoretical density, also showed a higher thermal expansion coefficient and high rupture modulus, reaching up to 600 MPa and Young modulus of 230 GPa. From the microstructure characterization it was observed that alumina matrix shows a transgranular fracture across the grains and zircon particles exhibited intergranular fracture among the grain boundaries.

AbstractNew iron(III)99Mo-molybdate(VI) gels (Fe99Mo) of high Mo content were prepared by the precipitation/filtration method.99Mo–MoO3dissolved in NaOH was added to aqueous solutions of Fe(NO3)3at Mo/Fe mole fractions ~2.21 and 1.99 with continuous stirring at ambient room temperature. Two different Fe99Mo were precipitated from the mixed solutions adjusted at pH 2 and 4.7. The amount of water of hydration increased with the increasing the gel settling time and pH of the mixed solution. The matrices were characterized by radiometric, XRD, SEM, XRF, FT-IR, TGA, and DTA measurements. Small chromatographic columns of 2.0 g Fe99Mo containing ≥800 mg Mo tagged with 740 MBq99Mo were eluted with 5 mL saline solution. Highly reproducible99mTc elution indices suitable for preparation of99Mo/99mTc generators were achieved from generator supported with 0.5 g Al2O3filter. Elution performance of99mTc radionuclide was highly dependent on the gel structural properties.

Fluorene-based poly(imino ketone)s (PIKF) were designed and synthesized by reacting 1,4-Bis-(4-bromobenzoyl)-benzene and 9,9-bis(3-R-4-aminophenyl)fluorine (R: H, CH3 or F). The structures of the resulting polymers were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The thermo and optical properties of PIKF were evaluated. Good solubility of PIKF in ordinary organic solvents such as THF and chloroform was confirmed. PIKF were amorphous at room temperature. No phase transition except for Tg was confirmed in the DSC analysis. PIKF displayed a high glass transition temperature (Tg > 215 °C) in comparison with commercially available poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK Tg = 169 °C). The UV-vis absorption spectrum of polymers exhibited two absorption peaks around 271 nm and 369 nm; The fluorescence spectrum of the PIKF-1, 2 and PIKF-3 showed a maximum emission wavelength at 502 nm and 491 nm, respectively. These optical properties were probably related to the cardo structure of the fluorene moiety placed on the main chain.
