Membrane-based separation of phenol/water mixtures with concentrations of phenol between 3&#x2009;wt&#37; and 8&#x2009;wt&#37; in the feed has been performed with nonmodified as well as  cross-linked ethylene-methacrylic acid (E-MAA) copolymers with different amounts of methacrylic acid. As cross-linking agents, aluminium acetyl acetonate, which leads to ionically cross-linked membranes, and 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylene diamine and glycerine digycidether, leading to covalently cross-linked membranes, have been used. Generally, it was found that with increasing phenol content in the feed, the total flux is increasing whereas the enrichment factor is decreasing. Using nonmodified membranes with higher methacrylic acid monomer content in the polymer, lower fluxes and higher enrichment factors were observed. Investigation of different cross-linked membranes showed that with high phenol concentration in the feed, ionic cross-linking seems to be very promising. Furthermore, variation of feed temperature shows that ionically cross-linked membranes reached higher fluxes as well as higher enrichment factors at elevated temperatures. The temperature-dependent data were fitted based on an Arrhenius-type equation, and activation energies for the permeation of phenol and water through the membrane were calculated.

DFT Calculation on 76 Polychlorophenazines: Their Thermodynamic Function and Implication of Cl Substituted Position

Plant polyphenol, including vanillin, is often used as the intermediate materials of the medicines and vanilla flavoring. In agriculture generally vanillin is produced from vanilla plant and in industry from lignin of disposed wood pulp. We have recently developed a method for the production of plant polyphenol with the excrement as a natural resource of lignin, of the herbivorous animals, by using the subcritical water. The method for using the subcritical water is superior to that of the supercritical water because in the latter complete decomposition occurs. We have successfully produced the vanillin, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, and syringic acid in products. Our method is simpler and more efficient not only because it requires the shorter treatment time but also because it releases less amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Novel Production Method for Plant Polyphenol from Livestock Excrement Using Subcritical Water Reaction

Scaling analyses based on subsurface layer instability were performed to explore the role of three independent (surface tension, gravity, and viscosity) influences on the mechanism of pulsating flame spread under normal and microgravity conditions. These three influences form two independent pi-numbers: the Marangoni (Ma) number and Grashof (Gr) number, which include the characteristic length scale ratio (depth of subsurface circulation)/(horizontal length of preheated liquid surface). The Prandtl (Pr) number was introduced to compensate for the different thermal diffusivity and kinematic viscosity of different liquids. Also a nondimensional flame spread rate, <svg style="vertical-align:-3.27605pt;width:42.537498px;" id="M1" height="16.15" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 42.537498 16.15" width="42.537498" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,.062,12.012)"><path id="x1D449" d="M730 650l-8 -28q-52 -4 -72 -18t-64 -77q-79 -113 -321 -539h-33l-119 541q-13 59 -29.5 73t-66.5 20l7 28h245l-8 -28l-28 -5q-33 -6 -40.5 -15.5t-0.5 -38.5l102 -450h2q191 320 246 430q21 42 15.5 56t-43.5 19l-31 4l7 28h240z" /></g><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,12.676,12.012)"><path id="x2F" d="M368 703l-264 -866h-60l265 866h59z" /></g><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,19.679,12.012)"><use xlink:href="#x1D449" /></g><g transform="matrix(.012,-0,0,-.012,32.287,16.087)"><path id="x1D437" d="M780 372q0 -191 -178 -297q-128 -75 -335 -75h-250l7 27q61 7 77 22t28 76l77 398q11 62 0 76.5t-77 22.5l6 28h292q164 0 258.5 -67.5t94.5 -210.5zM678 375q0 119 -73 180.5t-201 61.5q-62 0 -82 -13q-17 -7 -25 -53l-80 -427q-8 -47 -4 -62t26 -20q24 -6 80 -6&#xA;q166 0 262.5 95t96.5 244z" /></g></svg> (= <svg style="vertical-align:-2.22495pt;width:42.174999px;" id="M2" height="15" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 42.174999 15" width="42.174999" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,.062,12.162)"><use xlink:href="#x1D449" /></g><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,12.676,12.162)"><path id="x1D6FF" d="M494 514l-10 -15q-56 76 -106.5 117t-110.5 41q-45 0 -45 -30q0 -28 109 -152q59 -68 86 -118.5t27 -107.5q0 -62 -29.5 -119.5t-86.5 -96.5q-64 -45 -138 -45q-76 0 -121.5 53t-45.5 136q0 74 40.5 135t98.5 95q43 26 87 42q-40 59 -57.5 92t-17.5 62q0 46 39 77.5&#xA;t90 31.5q54 0 97.5 -35.5t65 -78.5t28.5 -84zM359 234q0 84 -90 191q-47 -17 -74 -47q-81 -89 -81 -200q0 -71 32.5 -109.5t72.5 -38.5q47 0 80 33t46.5 77.5t13.5 93.5z" /></g><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,21.464,12.162)"><use xlink:href="#x2F" /></g><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,28.467,12.162)"><use xlink:href="#x1D437" /></g></svg>, where <svg style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt;width:8.9125004px;" id="M3" height="12.4375" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 8.9125004 12.4375" width="8.9125004" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,.062,12.162)"><use xlink:href="#x1D6FF" /></g></svg> is the quenching distance and <svg style="vertical-align:-0.0pt;width:13.775px;" id="M4" height="11.175" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 13.775 11.175" width="13.775" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g transform="matrix(.017,-0,0,-.017,.062,11.113)"><use xlink:href="#x1D437" /></g></svg> is the diffusivity of fuel vapor) was introduced.
