Isobaric binary vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for ethylbenzene + ethyl benzoate, o-xylene + ethyl benzoate, m-xylene + ethyl benzoate, and p-xylene + ethyl benzoate, as well as the quinary VLE data for ethyl benzoate + o-xylene + m-xylene + p-xylene + ethylbenzene, were measured at 101.33 kPa using a modified Rose still. The thermodynamic consistency test was implemented by using the Herington method. Moreover, the VLE data for ethyl benzoate + o-xylene, ethyl benzoate + m-xylene, ethyl benzoate + p-xylene, and ethyl benzoate + ethylbenzene were correlated using the nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) and universal quasichemical activity coefficient (UNIQUAC) models using the nonlinear least-square method. The obtained NRTL and UNIQUAC model parameters of the binary systems were utilized to predict the VLE data for the quinary system. It was shown that all the models showed a relatively small deviation from the experimental results, and the quinary predicted values obtained in this way agreed well with the experimental values, indicating that the experimental data were suitable for designing the extractive distillation process of ethyl benzoate with ethylbenzene and xylene isomers.

At a pressure of 101.33 kPa, isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium data for binary mixtures of propylene carbonate with para-xylene, ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and ethylbenzene were obtained. Via a modified Othmer still apparatus and gas chromatography, the fractions of the vapor and liquid phases at equilibrium were measured. The experimental findings were fitted with the Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC activity coefficient models, and the binary parameters of these models were calculated. The fitted models predicted the vapor–liquid equilibrium, and the calculated values agreed well with the experimental results. The Wisniak L-W and van Ness methods were used to authenticate the thermodynamic consistency of the equilibrium data.

Selectively cleaving the C O bonds in lignin to produce aromatic products are challenging problems. Currently, catalytic hydrogenolysis of C O bonds in lignin requires harsh conditions. Herein, selectively cleaving C O bond of benzyl phenyl ether (BPE) was studied over Pd/AC, Ru/AC and Ni/AC. Among these catalysts, Pd/AC efficiently cleaved C O bond in BPE under super mild conditions (25 °C, 2 h and 0.1 MPa H 2 ). The products were toluene and phenol without hydrogenation of the aromatic ring . The main competitive step of hydrogenolysis and hydrogenation is sensitive to reaction temperature over Pd catalyst. A mild temperature is preferred for hydrogenolysis, since the H species nearby the oxygen atom are more strongly adsorbed than nearby the benzene rings . With the different H-donor solvents, the highest conversion of BPE was obtained in isopropanol. Based on the experiments, the reactions occurred via cleavage of the C aliphatic -O bond in BPE and the synergetic effects between the H from absorbed H 2 on the surface of the Pd and the intermediates radicals of benzyl and phenoxy should be the key points to such an optimum result.

Novel strategies for converting renewable lignin to bulk petrochemicals are highly desirable for achieving sustainable practices in the age of environmental awareness. Herein, we propose an efficient approach for the selective hydrogenolysis of lignin promoted by a cost-effective La3+-doped Ni/MgO catalyst. The results reveal that 84.44% lignin is converted at 270 °C for 4 h, yielding 16.50% volatile products. Importantly, approximately 43.45% of these volatile products are identified as 4-ethyl phenol (7.17% yield), an important intermediate in the fine chemical industry. Intensive analysis of the lignin before and after the reaction confirms that efficient cleavage of the ester linkages is achieved, which correlates directly with the high selectivity of 4-ethyl phenol after a readily decarboxylation reaction. Furthermore, the catalyst characterization demonstrates that La3+ suppresses the formation of a NiMgOx solid solution. Consequently, a greater degree of Ni2+ becomes reducible and the catalyst basicity becomes stronger, both of which are essential for the efficient lignin depolymerization and char reduction. As a result, a significant increase of the yield of volatile products is shown along with a substantial inhibition of biochar formation over the La-doped Ni/MgO catalyst in comparison with that without La doping. Therefore, the present work provides a new insight on producing fine chemicals via a sustainable route.

A novel collector, 2-carboxyethylphenylphosphinic acid (CEPPA), was first used in the flotation of cassiterite. The flotation performances and the adsorption mechanism of CEPPA on cassiterite were investigated by flotation tests, adsorption experiments, zeta potential measurements, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. The results indicated that CEPPA had strong collecting power for cassiterite and fluorite over a wide pH range but little on quartz. In the separation of the cassiterite–quartz mixture, a concentrate containing 90.9% SnO2 was obtained with a recovery of 95.7% at pH 7.0. The cassiterite in the cassiterite–fluorite mixture could be effectively separated using 300 mg/L sodium silicate in conjunction with 60 mg/L CEPPA, and a concentrate with a grade of 90.3% SnO2 and a recovery of 92.6% was achieved at neutral pH. Zeta potential analysis demonstrated that the adsorption process involved both physical and specific forces. The results of FTIR and XPS further suggested that the four O atoms of CEPPA reacted with the Sn atoms on cassiterite surface, forming a complex which was similar to the Sn–CEPPA precipitate, and hydrogen bonding adsorption could have taken place between the terminal hydroxyl groups and CEPPA anions.

In this paper, three new compounds were synthesized by introduction of benzyloxy group to phenylethyl phenylacetate ( PPA ) and shorting the flexible ester linker. NMR spectra and mass spectra are achieved to confirm the structure of the compounds. The solid-liquid and liquid-solid phase change behaviors of PPA and these three compounds were explored by direct observation and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements. It was found that all four compounds would form supercooled liquids during a heating-cooling cycle. The supercooling degree is as large as 44 °C or above. The effects of benzyloxy group and the flexible linker on the phase transition processes as well as the supercooling degrees were discussed in detail with the computational optimized geometry of isolated molecules. It was revealed that the dihedral angles between adjacent phenyl rings play a significant role in tuning their phase transition temperatures. This work also discovers the high enthalpies of PPA derivatives and analogues in both solid-liquid and liquid-solid phase transition processes, making them great potentials for the thermal energy control of appropriate working temperature regions.

Activated carbon (AC) prepared by physical activation with steam (named as AC-H 2 O) was employed for catalytic fast pyrolysis of bagasse in a hydrogen atmosphere to selectively produce 4-ethyl phenol (4-EP), a valuable phenolic compound. Lab-scale fast pyrolysis experiments were conducted to quantitatively determine the pyrolytic products and investigate several factors on the 4-EP production, including pyrolysis atmosphere, AC type, catalytic pyrolysis temperature, and AC-to-bagasse ratio. The results indicated that the AC-H 2 O (activated by H 2 O) catalyst exhibited much better performance on 4-EP production than other ACs prepared by different activation methods. Compared with the inert atmosphere, the presence of hydrogen atmosphere could significantly promote the 4-EP formation with the yield increase by over 36%. The maximal 4-EP yield of 3.55 wt% with the selectivity of 17.42% was obtained under AC-to-bagasse ratio of 1.5 at 330 °C. In addition, the gas product produced by the pyrolysis process could be recycled to provide a hydrogen atmosphere without an additional hydrogen supply.

A self-healing material was developed on the basis of a biological system. The self-healing epoxy resin, which incorporated microcapsules filled with ethyl phenylacetate (EPA), was investigated. The microcapsules were prepared by an in situ polymerization method. The microcapsule-formation process was monitored by optical microscopy, and the surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The self-healing performance of the epoxy resin was assessed by manual and in situ healing experiments. We investigated the effects of the healing time, amount of EPA, and degree of curing of matrix on the healing performance by manually injecting EPA into the crack plane. The maximum healing efficiency was obtained within 24 h. The swelling curve was overlaid onto the healed load plot; this indicated that crack healing was achieved as a result of solvent diffusion. The healing load reached the maximum value when the amount of EPA was 0.5 μL and was capable of filling the crack volume. Moreover, the healing performance was related to the degree of swelling. The in situ healing efficiency was dependent on the microcapsule concentration. The fracture toughness could be fully restored when the microcapsule concentration was 10%. Finally, the crack interface was analyzed with SEM. The results show that the fracture line was difficult to detect, and this suggested complete crack healing by EPA. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Graphical Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents : Envisioned bienzymatic cascade for the selective oxyfunctionalisation of ethyl benzene or cis-ß-methylstyrene comprising the evolved peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita (r Aae UPO) and choline oxidase from Arthrobacter nicotianae ( An ChOx) to provide r Aae UPO with H 2 O 2 . Natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) are proposed as alternative solvents for peroxygenase-catalysed oxyfunctionalization reactions. Choline chloride-based NADES are of particular interest as they can serve as solvent, enzyme-stabiliser and sacrificial electron donor for the in situ H 2 O 2 generation. This report provides the first proof-of-concept and basic characterisation of this new reaction system. Highly promising turnover numbers for the biocatalysts of up to 200,000 have been achieved.

The N-doped activated carbon (NAC) was prepared for bagasse (BAG) pyrolysis with 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) to selectively improve production of individual 4-ethyl phenol (4-EP). Both pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and lab-scale apparatus were employed to conduct catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) experiments. The effects of N-doping modification, pyrolysis temperature, DHA/BAG ratio and NAC/BAG ratio on yield and selectivity of 4-EP were comprehensively investigated. Results indicated that the NAC exhibited excellent catalytic abilities in improving 4-EP production. About 3.03 wt % of 4-EP was obtained over NAC in the absence of DHA, whereas the 4-EP yield over activated carbon was only 2.46 wt %, indicating an increment of 23.17 % via N-doping modification. The 4-EP yield reached the maximum of 4.75 wt % with a selectivity of 25.12 % at temperature of 350 °C with a DHA/BAG ratio of 7:20 and NAC/BAG ratio of 3:1, indicating 88.45 % of 4-VP (5.37 wt %) was converted into 4-EP. Result of lab-scale tests showed that 4-EP production attained the highest value (4.02 wt %) with a selectivity of 25.53 % at temperature of 350 °C with DHA/BAG and NAC/BAG ratios of 1:5 and 1.5:1, respectively. Finally, the possible mechanism on 4-EP formation from BAG pyrolysis with co-assist of NAC and DHA was inferred.

Fast pyrolysis of bagasse catalyzed by activated carbon (AC) at low temperatures offered a new and promising way to produce the valuable 4-ethyl phenol (4-EP) compound in high selectivity. In this study, the technique of pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was first applied to investigate several factors on the 4-EP production, including biomass type, fast pyrolysis temperature, AC-to-bagasse ratio, and catalytic pattern (in situ or ex situ catalysis). Moreover, fast pyrolysis experiments by using AC catalyst were conducted in a lab-scale setup to quantitatively determine the pyrolytic products. The experimental results indicated that, among these five herbaceous biomass materials, bagasse was the best material to produce 4-vinylphenol (4-VP) from the noncatalytic process and 4-EP from the catalytic fast pyrolysis process, respectively. 4-VP and its precursors could be catalytically hydrogenated into 4-EP with high selectivity under the catalysis of AC catalyst. Both catalytic pyrolysis temperature and AC-to-bagasse ratio affected the 4-EP selectivity significantly, whereas the catalytic pattern had minor effects on the 4-EP production. The highest yield of 4-EP from bagasse in Py-GC/MS experiments was 2.13 wt %, obtained at the pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C and AC-to-bagasse ratio of 4 from the in situ catalytic pattern. Moreover, lab-scale fast pyrolysis of bagasse catalyzed by AC catalyst obtained the maximal 4-EP yield of 2.49 wt %, with the selectivity of 10.71%.

We employed four radical inhibitors to investigate their influences on the degradation of poly (4-vinylbenzyl chloride-styrene) based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) in alkaline solutions. It is found that the presence of the radical inhibitors could effectively restrain the nucleophilic attack of hydroxide ions to the AEMs according to the conductivity measurements, especially the one p -ethyl phenol (PEP), which could significantly protect the AEMs against the attack. More evidences including water uptake, swelling ratio as well as FT-IR analysis further proved this phenomenon by comparison those properties of the membranes before and after the stability test in 8 M KOH at 80 °C for 24 h. According to the 1 H NMR spectra, the quaternary ammonium groups of the AEMs were mainly degraded into tertiary amines in the hot alkaline solutions; while in the presence of PEP, this degradation was restrained and the quaternary ammonium groups maintained by reaction with PEP. Fenton test results further indicated that high oxidative stability of the AEMs benefited from the presence of a small amount of PEP, which could reduce the generation of the oxidants. Thus an inhibition reaction mechanism of the radical inhibitors preventing the AEMs from alkaline degradation is proposed.
