The effect of the components of the catalyst solution for the hydrocyanation of acetylene on the activity and selectivity of the process under liquid-phase conditions has been studied. The introduction of ZnSO 4 and ZnO additives into the shop catalyst did not give a positive effect under these conditions. Studies of catalysts in non-aqueous media lead to an increase in their activity and selectivity in comparison with aqueous media. It has been shown that the composition of the CuCl - NMP - DMF catalyst is characterized by high activity (up to 32 g / l.h.) and selectivity (83-90%), i.e. the activity of this composition is almost twice as high as compared to the water-based ones (12-18 g l.h.).

The influence of thermal stabilization of NH4-Y zeolite and modification of USY zeolites with solutions of hydrochloric acid on the cyclohexylation of naphthalene in the liquid phase was studied. Removal of the part of extra-framework aluminium from zeolite structure has a positive effect on both conversion of naphthalene and amount of dicyclohexylnaphthalenes formed. Modification of zeolites leads to an increase in conversion and selectivity of β-substitution in the naphthalene cyclohexylation.

Aggregates of TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) are a hallmark of several neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Although TDP-43 aggregates are an undisputed pathological species at the end stage of these diseases, the molecular changes underlying the initiation of aggregation are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate how phase separation affects self-aggregation and aggregation seeded by pre-formed aggregates of either the low-complexity domain (LCD) or its short aggregation-promoting regions (APRs). By systematically varying the physicochemical conditions, we observed that liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) promotes spontaneous aggregation. However, we noticed less efficient seeded aggregation in phase separating conditions. By analyzing a broad range of conditions using the Hofmeister series of buffers, we confirmed that stabilizing hydrophobic interactions prevail over destabilizing electrostatic forces. RNA affected the cooperativity between LLPS and aggregation in a “reentrant” fashion, having the strongest positive effect at intermediate concentrations. Altogether, we conclude that conditions which favor LLPS enhance the subsequent aggregation of the TDP-43 LCD with complex dependence, but also negatively affect seeding kinetics.

A variety of solid acid catalysts especially 12-Tungstophosphoricacid (DTP) supported on silica has been reported for the acylation of anisole, veratrole and toluene. However, the activity of this catalyst is susceptible to coke formation or poor activity. This paper reports the novelties of steam treated SiO2-DTP core-shell nanoparticles, which exhibits tremendous stability, high activity and enhanced selectivity in the liquid-phase acylation of anisole, veratrole and toluene as compared to conventional DTP supported on silica.

Acrylic acid is a product with several applications in the chemical industry, the main one is the production of sodium polyacrylate, a superabsorbent material used in the toiletries manufacture. Currently acrylic acid is obtained from propene oxidation using heterogeneous Mo/Bi and Mo/V oxide-based catalysts. In this process, propene is first oxidized to acrolein, which is then oxidized to acrylic acid. Although this is already a consolidated process, propylene comes from petrochemical sources and thus there is a concern to search for alternative routes to the use of this raw material and one of the possibilities is to synthesize acrolein from glycerol dehydration using specific catalysts. For the project, heterogeneous catalysts were prepared to obtain the acrylic acid, first evaluated in the oxidation of acrolein and later in the glycerol oxideshydration. Three types of samples were synthesized with different compositions B1- Mo12V4,8W2,4Cu2,2Si8,4; B2-Mo12V2W0,5Si6,2 and B3-Mo12V2,7Si6,2) by four preparation methods, namely by evaporation, evaporation followed by hydrothermal treatment, hydrothermal treatment (TH) and using a block copolymer. For the last two methods a more detailed study was performed to determine the best synthesis conditions (Phase I), and it was found that the total dissolution of the reagents in the mixture before TH resulted in samples with higher crystallinity and less active phase loss in the liquid and the use of a cold dissolved block copolymer contributed to an increase in pore volume. In the second stage, the materials synthesized by the four proposed methods were characterized and evaluated in reactor in acrylic acid production. The samples B1 showed different crystalline phase formation depending on the preparation method used, and in samples B2 and B3 the main phase was identified as a-MoO3, regardless of the method used. The samples synthesized by evaporation followed by TH showed the highest selectivity for acrylic acid formation from acrolein for the same catalyst composition, which may be related to the higher vanadium oxide content present in samples identified by FRX and the formation of the crystalline phase V0.35Mo4,65O14. The best performance was observed in sample B1-EV+TH with selectivity of 50.59% and 3.61% for acrylic acid in the processes from acrolein and glycerol, respectively

Dispersion polymerization of acrylamide and acrylic acid was successfully carried out in aqueous salt solutions using anionic polyelectrolytes as stabilizers. The influences of aqueous solution of salt concentration, molecular weight and concentration of the stabilizers on the apparent viscosity and stability of the dispersions, and on the molecular weight of the polymers prepared were investigated. The results showed that stable dispersions could be obtained on condition that salt concentration was between 26%~30%, concentration of stabilizers between 8%~12%, and intrinsic viscosity of stabilizers between 2.977~3.740 dL/g. With salt concentration ranging from 26% to 30%, molecular weight of products increased first and then decreased. Molecular weight of products was hardly changed when concentration of stabilizer was between 8%~12%. When intrinsic viscosity of stabilizer was between 2.977~3.740 dL/g, increase of the molecular weight of stabilizer resulted in a decrease in the molecular weight of the products.

Multilayer ZnO varistors were prepared by aqueous gel tape casting with water-soluble acrylamide as binder. 0.8wt% PAA dispersant was found to be the optimum concentration needed to prepare stable slurry. Plasticizer glycerol has a positive effect on the fluidity of the suspension and oxygen anti-polymerizing inhibitor PEG 2000 deteriorated the fluidity. The addition of 15wt. % PEG2000 eliminates the surface exfoliation absolutely due to the oxygenation of ether units. The solid loading of the slurry was about 71wt% compared to the custom acrylic formulation binder 60wt%. The multilayer ZnO varistors prepared by aqueous gel tape casting display comparable good electrical properties to those prepared by water-based tape casting using custom acrylic formulation binder which is attributed to the high solid loading of slurry.
