The nano-size PbTiO3 particles were prepared by sol-gel method and the effects of processing variables such as concentration of sol solution, catalyst, concentration of catalyst, calcination temperature and calcination process on particle size of PbTiO3 were analyzed. The condition for preparation of sol solution from the precursor is very critical to the size of PbTiO3 particle. At certain experimental conditions, the particles of 129nm, 213nm and 343nm were obtained. However, the particle size of commercialized PbTiO3 powder was 5㎛(5,000nm). The prepared nano-size PbTiO3 powder adsorbed more acetic acid and formic acid than the commercialized one; 1.5 times for acetic acid and 1.2 times for formic acid. Formic acid was preferentially adsorbed than acetic acid.

Kikar wood (Acacia albida) of particle size 0.315-1.00 mm was subjected to acetosolv andorganosolv pulping catalyzed by strong acid like HCl. The selective condition for pulping is 95%, 0.25%catalyst (HCl) solid/liquor ratio (S/L) 1:12.5 for 180 mins, for acetic acid, 80%, 0.2% catalyst (HCl), S/L1:12.5 for 120 min, for formic acid, 85%, 0.2% catalyst (HCl), S/L 1:12.5 for 180 min for propionic acid,giving residues impurities but the a-cellulose and klason lignin 58.5% and 24.1% in Kikar wood. Theoptimum delignification was achieved by the acetic acid as compared to other organic acids.

A Six week study was carried out to investigate effect of different organic acids (OAs) fed through drinking water on carcass yield and internal organs weight of broiler chickens. The OAs were acetic acid (AA) butyric acid (BA), citric acid (CA) and formic acid (FA). One hundred and fifty (150) day old AborAcre-plus chicks were used. There were five treatments. Treatment 1 which served as control (CON) consumed water with no organic acid, while treatments 2,3, 4 and5 respectively were offered drinking water treated with 0.25% acetic acid (AA), butyric acid (BA), citric acid (CA) and formic acid (FA). Each treatment was replicated three times each having 10 birds arranged in completely randomized design (CRD). Feed and water were offered ad libitum. Results showed that dressed carcass weight and breast weight were improved by all the organic acids. While only AA positively influenced the thigh weight, all the OAs drinking water fed resulted to smaller drumstick compared to the CON. Feeding of AA, BA and FA through drinking water increased (PSO.05) deposition of abdominal fat. Weight of pancreas, small intestine, caecum and large intestine was significantly (P<0.05) higher in CON. The gall bladder was significantly (P<0.05) bigger in all the OA groups. Conclusively, OAs could be fed through the drinking water for improved percentage carcass yield, breast meat and larger gall bladder and invariably bile volume

Abstract Background Methods to produce XOS have been intensively investigated, including enzymatic hydrolysis, steam explosion, and acid hydrolysis. Acid hydrolysis is currently the most widely used method to produce XOS due to its advantages of fewer processing steps, stronger raw material adaptability, higher yield, and better reproducibility. Especially, organic acids such as acetic acid, formic acid and xylonic acid work better as compared with mineral acids. However, the catalytic mechanism of different organic acids has been little studied. In this paper, four different organic acids, including formic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid were selected to compare their hydrolytic effects. Results Using pKa values as the benchmark, the yield of xylo-oligosaccharide (XOS) increased with the increasing value of pKa. The yield of XOS was 37% when hydrolyzed by 5% acetic acid (pKa = 4.75) at 170 ℃ for 20 min. Combined severity (CS), a parameter associated with temperature and reaction time was proposed, was proposed to evaluate the hydrolysis effect. The results of CS were consistent with that of pKa values on both the yield of XOS and the inhibitor. Conclusion The results based on pKa values and combined severity, a parameter associated with temperature and reaction time, concluded that acetic acid is a preferred catalyst. Combining the techno-economic analysis and environmental benefits, acetic acid hydrolysis process has lower factory production costs, and it is also an important metabolite and a carbon source for wastewater anaerobic biological treatment. In conclusion, production of xylo-oligosaccharides by acetic acid is an inexpensive, environment-friendly, and sustainable processing technique.

Nano-size hydroxyapatite is the main inorganic component of bone. There is a critical particle size that each property starts to change. Each property can be modified under controlled conditions. Multifunctional materials for applications, one must consider several properties change. Bone properties, are those which dictate the properties of hydroxyapatite, properties to be followed the synthetic materials to be used successfully as implants. Of these mention those related to surface materials, solubility and biocompatibility and their mechanical strength. Depending on the location and functionality of the implant have met some of these properties. The purpose of this study is to develop a synthetic hydroxyapatite at nano scale, using sol-gel and pyrosol method, for its use in medicine

Wollastonite, CaSiO3 material was prepared from rice husk ash, as the source for SiO2 and limestone, source for CaO using sol-gel method. Rice husk ash and CaO powder was mixed together in 100ml distilled water with the rice husk ash/CaO ratios of 45:55 and 40:60. The mixed solution was place in the autoclave and heated at 135°C for 4 hours and calcined at 950°C for 1 and 2 hours. From the XRD results,ratio of 45:55 exhibited that b-wollastonite is the major phase and the minor phase is only contributed by cristoballite and by calcining the mixture for 2hrs would yield better crystallinity. Both of the rice husk ash:CaO ratios produced wollastonite materials in cylinder structures. Wollastonite with nano size grain was obtained for an hour calcination and 2 hrs of calcination would increase the grain size over 100 nm for ratio, 45:55 and 40:60.Therefore in order to get the nano size of wollastonite material, period of calcination process has to be controlled.

Nano-ZnO was synthesized by sol-gel method using acetic acid zinc and ammonia as raw material and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. In addition, the photoluminescence performance of nano-ZnO was analyzed through PL spectra. The particle size and dispersion degree of nano-ZnO could be controlled by adjusting the addition of surfactant polyethylene glycol-4000. The characterization results revealed that the crystallinity and dispersion degree of nano-ZnO were high and the surface area of nano-ZnO was large, when the amount of polyethylene glycol-4000 was 293.44 mg.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was prepared from egg shells by various routes using hexane and acetic acid followed by heat treatment. HAp has a wide application in water treatment by removal of metal ions. XRD of the samples showed use of acetic acid followed by high temperature sintering leads to formation crystalline phases of HAp. Strong evidence of CaCO3 in calcite phase was obtained in other samples. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have also been synthesized by different methods such as sol-gel, co- precipitate and green synthesis. The effect of different synthesis methods were investigated using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The structural properties of nanoparticles including particle size were calculated from XRD data. The XRD reveals that the prepared ZnO samples were highly crystalline, having wurtzite crystal structure. The comparative analysis shows variations in particle size with different synthesis methods.

ABSTRACTWe describe a novel precipitation route to silica grain that lies in the interface between sol-gel and Stöber-type silica. The use of acetic acid as a catalyst for TEOS hydrolysis provides access to a precipitation window in which partially hydrolyzed TEOS and TEOS monomer, when reacted with aqueous ammonia, combine to form pumice-like silica particles in up to 90% yield as SlO2. Precipitated particles exhibit narrow particle size distributions that may be controlled for average particle sizes from 50µ to 400 µ. SEM micrographs show that the particles are agglomerates of small particles, which is consistent with the high degree of observed macroporosity.

Aqueous extracts of "raw humus" from a typical Quebec podsol soil have been studied by means of two methods of fractionation. The presence of free acetic acid and mannitol has been established, and evidence of the presence of formic acid has been obtained. Data are presented which show that a number of organic acids are present in small quantities.
