Abstract:
... We employed an untargeted volatile profiling approach in combination with spit off-odorant measurement procedure to investigate the fate of aroma compounds in mouth by determining how oral processing and intrinsic biological variables influence the overall volatile composition. A red wine before and after oral processing (expectorated wine), and control samples (expectorated water) were analyzed u ...

Abstract:
... High volatility in fuel prices, energy security issues, and concerns about rising emissions have always driven researchers to search for renewable alternative fuels. Therefore, researchers have agreed on the idea that biodiesel fuels obtained from the various feedstocks have been the best alternative to conventional fuels. Accordingly, in the present research, the chicken oil biodiesel is first pr ...

Abstract:
... The recently emerged thermally driven two-way shape memory effect has greatly expanded the capabilities and practical potential of shape memory polymers. Without exception, its actuation direction is reflected as cooling-induced elongation and heating-induced contraction along with the programming force. In contrast to the current knowledge, we describe here a molecular mechanism to achieve an opp ...

Abstract:
... While transesterification has been largely explored by chemists, only a few studies comparatively dealt with its “sluggish cousin”, transcarbamoylation. Originally suggested 70 years ago to explain the stress decay observed at high temperature in polyurethane chemical networks, transcarbamoylation─also called transurethanization or urethane exchange─is still underexploited in both organic and poly ...

Abstract:
... Highly active and exclusive transesterifications of methyl 10-undecenoate with alcohols (cyclohexanemethanol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 10-undecen-1-ol, 3-hexanol) have been demonstrated by Cp′TiCl₃ (Cp′ = Cp, C₅Me₅) at 100–120 °C. The CpTiCl₃ enabled depolymerization of poly(ethylene adipate) by the transesterification (>99% conv., 0.25–0.5 mol % Ti) at 120 °C; the depolymerization completed aft ...

Abstract:
... A new organocatalyst for the ring-opening polymerization of lactones has been identified. Under the tested conditions, the anions of 2,2′-bisindole promote fast, living polymerizations (as short as 10 ms) which are selective for chain elongation over transesterification (Đ ≤ 1.1). While structurally related to (thio)urea anion catalysts, anions of 2,2′-bisindole activate the monomer via the counte ...

Abstract:
... Eleven new limonoids named cipacinoids E–O (1–11) including nine methyl angolensate-type limonoids (1–9) and two havanensin-type limonoids (10 and 11), as well as seven reported limonoids (12–18), were isolated from the leaves of Cipadessa cinerascens. The structures of these limonoids were identified by analyses of spectroscopic data and by using the methods of quantum-chemical calculation. Cipac ...

Abstract:
... In this experiment, first, the biodiesel has been produced from waste cooking oil through the process of transesterification. Then several tests like FTIR, Viscosity, calorific value, density, flash point, and fire point tests have been performed on this Bio-diesel and the results have been recorded. Then this Biodiesel has been blended with conventional diesel (D100) in the concentrations B10 (90 ...

Abstract:
... Herein, we report an efficient metal-free system for the transfer hydrogenation of esters and carbonates by-passing the otherwise ubiquitous formation of transesterification side-products. The Lewis acid B(C₆F₅)₃ is used as catalyst and ammonia borane as hydrogen donor. This methodology shows broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance in excellent yields at very mild conditions. ...

Abstract:
... Vitrimers are functional cross-linked materials, exhibiting reprocessability, recyclability, and healability, and thus these are expected for application as sustainable materials. The functionalities of vitrimers are attributable to their associative bond exchange mechanism that is activated at a certain high temperature. The construction of a tuning method for the bond exchange properties must be ...

Abstract:
... Biodiesel is an emerging green fuel that is finding increasing applications. The further improvement of the sustainability of biodiesel production processes is a key element in the energy transition scenario. Among the social pillars of sustainability, safety is a specific requirement. However, several major accidents were experienced in biodiesel facilities, involving the inventory of hazardous s ...

Abstract:
... This work simulates the production of methyl crotonate from various industrial wastewaters. In the upstream process, wastewater is fermented into volatile fatty acids which are then converted into polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by means of mixed microbial cultures. In the downstream, PHA undergoes a series of thermolysis and esterification reactions to produce methyl crotonate. The origin of the wast ...

Abstract:
... As the most abundant renewable aromatic resource on Earth, lignin is a preferred starting material for producing bulk chemicals via a sustainable route. In this study, we provide a novel and efficient “clip-off” approach for producing methyl p-coumarate, an important and versatile fine chemical by selective cleavage of the ester linkage in herbaceous lignin in the presence of commercial metal chlo ...

Abstract:
... Transesterification of dialkyl carbonate with various alcohols is a very attractive route for synthesizing unsymmetrical organic carbonates. Intensive efforts have been focused on developing highly active and stable heterogeneous catalysts that can efficiently catalyze the transesterification reaction at mild conditions. In this work, the synthesis of unsymmetrical organic carbonates was conducted ...

Abstract:
... Marine plastic pollution caused by non-biodegradable polymers is a major worldwide concern. So-called “biodegradable” polymers should reduce plastic pollution in the environment by the safeguard of biodegradation. However, many polyesters degrade very slowly in seawater. We therefore designed a systematic library of “breaking points” that are installed into a polylactide backbone and simulated the ...
transesterification, etc ; acetone; biodiesel; byproducts; capital; economic evaluation; ethanol; glycerol; markets; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Biodiesel production continuously increases. This also increases the production of glycerol, the main by-product of transesterification, whose surplus is not fully absorbed by the market. An interesting destination for glycerol is the production of additives for the biofuel itself, as a green and economical alternative to conventional additives. The objective of this work is to simulate the produc ...

Abstract:
... One-step in-situ transesterification has been recognized as an alternative approach to produce biodiesel from microalgae biomass. Based on technoeconomic perspective, in-situ transesterification of microalgae is more energy efficient than the conventional two-step process and thus economically competitive for biodiesel production. However, a comprehensive review on the effect of processing paramet ...
