- Preparation of new nanocomposite poly(GDMA)/mesoporous silica and its adsorption behavior towards cationic dye
-
In this work, a new nanocomposite based on crosslinked Glycerol Dimethacrylate (GDMA) and the mesoporous silica MCM-41 was prepared. The GDMA is first synthesized by the ring opening of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) using methacrylic anhydride (MA) and promoted by a new solvent-free green catalysis process at room temperature. The nanocomposites are further obtained by in-situ polymerization of the GDMA in the channels of the mesoporous silica and then tested for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye. Effect of polymer content, adsorbent mass, contact time and initial dye concentration were studied and discussed in terms of affinity and adsorption efficiency. The results showed that the poly(GDMA) was well immobilized in the internal and external surface of the mesoporous silica MCM-41. The adsorption efficiency of MB dye increased with increasing poly(GDMA) content in which the nanocomposite (NC-3) exhibited the best adsorption capacity of MB dye. The adsorption of MB dye by nanocomposite NC-3 followed Langmuir adsorption isotherm models and pseudo-second-order kinetics. The maximum adsorbed amount of MB dye on nanocomposite NC-3 is 111.11 mg/g.

- Hydroxy functional acrylate and methacrylate monomers prepared via lipase-catalyzed transacylation reactions
-
Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B, Novozyme 435) catalyzes the transacylation of methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate with diols and triols in 2-methyl-2-butanol at 50 °C. Under the experimental conditions, up to 70 mol% of the acyl donor methyl acrylate was converted. Methyl methacrylate is the less efficient acyl donor (up to 60 mol%) due to the higher sterical hindrance in the enzymatic transacylation. Under the reaction conditions high yields of the mono-acylated products are obtained, which contain minor amounts of bis(meth)acrylates. In addition it was observed that Novozyme 435 catalyzes regioselectively the acylation of the primary hydroxyl groups. In comparison with the chemical catalyzed route no selectivity was observed for unsubstituted diols. For substituted diols more mono-acylated product was formed in the lipase-catalyzed reaction than in the chemical catalyzed reaction.

- Reactivity of some carboxylic acids in reactions with some epoxides in the presence chromium (III) ethanoate
-
Reactivities have been compared of acetic, acrylic, and methacrylic acid in reactions with epichlorohydrin, phenylglycidyl ether, glycidyl acetate, and glycidyl methacrylate carried in the presence of chromium (III) ethanoate. The acid reactivities changed differently with respect to the oxirane series. The effect of solvents on the reactions of acids with epichlorohydrin has also been observed.
