Copper(II) oxide, cerium oxide, and several copper(II) oxide supported on cerium oxide catalysts are explored in the aerobic oxidative homocoupling of benzylamine to form N-benzylidenebenzylamine in DMSO at 110 °C. Although both CuO and CeO2 alone are shown to catalyze the reaction, CuOCeO2 catalysts are shown to most efficiently catalyze the react...
Olive oil-producing countries in the Mediterranean region generate a considerable amount of olive mill wastewater (OMW), contributing to a severe environmental polluting issue due to its high pollution load. This effluent is exceptionally toxic to the whole soil-air-water ecosystem, and the living organisms inhabiting it (i.e., plants, animals, aqu...
The objective of the research reported herein is to compare the compaction properties of three different chitin extracts from the organisms most used in the seafood industry; namely crabs, shrimps and squids. The foregoing is examined in relation to their polymorphic forms as well as compression and compaction behavior. Chitin extracted from crabs...
In this paper, new scientific insights in relation to the re-compaction of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC; Avicel ®® PH-101) under specific compaction conditions are reported. MCC was subjected to multiple compaction cycles (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) under high compaction pressures, up to 20,000 kPa, using a roller compactor of 100 kg/h capacity. Initial...
Calcium carbonate must be processed before it can be compressed into tablets. This study examined the compression behavior of calcium carbonate powder when granulated with different binders. Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl
methylcellulose (HPMC) and sodium alginate (Na-Alg), were chosen at different concentrations as binding agents. Da...
Chitin has been investigated in the context of finding new excipients suitable for direct compression, when subjected to roller compaction. Ball milling was concurrently carried out to compare effects from different energy or stress-inducing techniques. Samples of chitin powders (raw, processed, dried and humidified) were compared for variations in...
The heterogeneity of copper oxide supported on γ-Al2O3 (10CuO-Al2O3) and TiO2 (10CuO-TiO2) precatalysts is assessed in the oxidative homocoupling of ethynylbenzene in piperidine, with a focus on the effect of temperature, support, and solvent on copper leaching and catalyst reactivity. It is demonstrated that for this alkyne homocoupling reaction,...
