This invention relates to the application of metallic silver to the surface of a substrate, by reducing the DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THIS INVENTION silver from a solution in which the silver is present as a It has been discovered that striking improvement in soluble silver salt. This invention relates particularly to reduction efficiency can be obtained by the provision the electroless deposition of silver and particularly to of a reducer solution in the form of an aqueous solution the deposition of silver with high efficiency upon a of a polyhydric alcohol of the formula CH._.OH( stationary object or a continuously moving surface of a CHOH),,CH2OH, where n is an integer from 1 to 6. The substrate such as glass, plastic or ceramic, for example, sharp improvement of efficiency is reflected in a con in the coating of mirrors, decoration of objects and the siderable saving of valuable silver in the usual commer like. cial processing plant, wherein the unreacted (unre duced) silver which remains in solution over?ows into BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION a trough or other collecting chamber, which may then It is already known in the art to provide methods and be reclaimed. The process of reclamation is compli compositions for the electroless deposition of metallic cated by the presence of sludges and other undesirable silver on various substrates, such as glass plate in the 20 side reaction products, and is complicated to such an manufacture of mirrors, and on other glass objects such extent that in many silvering estabishments the waste as Christmas tree ornaments, etc. over?ow solution and sludge is kept in a holding tank The patent to Sivertz et al US. Pat. No. 3,776,740, for a very substantial number of months before repro granted Dec. 4, 1973, discloses one method for the cessing is attempted. This results in the storage of waste electroless deposition of silver, utilizing a reducing 25 materials containing silver of very substantial value, agent in the form of an aldonic acid such as gluconic which is of no use whatsoever during the entire period acid, for example. It is pointed out in the Sivertz et al of storage. patent that various mild reducing agents have been The polyhydric alcohols in accordance with this in used, such as formaldehyde, glucose or invert sugar, vention are also known as alditols, and are acyclic, but that the use of these materials have caused prob 30 polyhydric alcohols that are normally derived from lems in the art, particularly since the silvering solutions aldoses or ketoses by the known reduction of the corre are short-lived and the reducing agents tend to be un sponding carbonyl group.

  • Postulated Physiological Roles of the Seven-Carbon Sugars, Mannoheptulose, and Perseitol in Avocado
    J. AMER. SOC. HORT. SCI. 127(1):108–114. 2002. Postulated Physiological Roles of the Seven-carbon Sugars, Mannoheptulose, and Perseitol in Avocado Xuan Liu,1 James Sievert, Mary Lu Arpaia, and Monica A. Madore2 Department of Botany and Plant Sciences, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. ‘Hass’ avocado on ‘Duke 7’ rootstock, phloem transport, ripening, Lauraceae ABSTRACT. Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) tissues contain high levels of the seven-carbon (C7) ketosugar mannoheptulose and its polyol form, perseitol. Radiolabeling of intact leaves of ‘Hass’ avocado on ‘Duke 7’ rootstock indicated that both perseitol and mannoheptulose are not only primary products of photosynthetic CO2 fixation but are also exported in the phloem. In cell-free extracts from mature source leaves, formation of the C7 backbone occurred by condensation of a three-carbon metabolite (dihydroxyacetone-P) with a four-carbon metabolite (erythrose-4-P) to form sedoheptulose-1,7- bis-P, followed by isomerization to a phosphorylated D-mannoheptulose derivative. A transketolase reaction was also observed which converted five-carbon metabolites (ribose-5-P and xylulose-5-P) to form the C7 metabolite, sedoheptu- lose-7-P, but this compound was not metabolized further to mannoheptulose. This suggests that C7 sugars are formed from the Calvin Cycle, not oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, reactions in avocado leaves. In avocado fruit, C7 sugars were present in substantial quantities and the normal ripening processes (fruit softening, ethylene production, and climacteric respiration rise), which occurs several days after the fruit is picked, did not occur until levels of C7 sugars dropped below an apparent threshold concentration of ≈20 mg·g–1 fresh weight.

  • Disposal of Solid Chemicals in the Normal Trash
    Disposal of Solid Chemicals in the Normal Trash Many solid chemicals can be safety discarded into the normal trash, provided they are in containers that are not broken or cracked and have tightly fitting caps. These chemicals are considered acceptable for ordinary disposal because they display none of the properties of hazardous waste, are of low acute toxicity, and have not been identified as having any chronic toxic effects as summarized in the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) “Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances”. Examples of chemicals acceptable for disposal as regular trash are listed below. To dispose of these chemicals, place the containers in a box lined with a plastic bag, tape the top of the box shut, write “Normal Trash” on the box and then place the box next to the lab trash container. Only solid forms of these chemicals can be disposed in this manner. Any questions about these chemicals or other chemicals that may be disposed of in the normal trash should be directed to the Hazardous Materials Technician (610) 330-5225. Chemicals Generally Acceptable for Disposal as Regular Trash Acacia powder, gum Detergent (most) Methyl salicylate Sodium carbonate arabic Cation exchange resins Methylene blue Sodium chloride Acid, Ascorbic Chromatographic Methyl stearate Sodium citrate Acid, Benzoic absorbents Nutrient agar Sodium dodecyl sulfate Acid, Boric Crystal violet Octacosane (SDS) Acid, Casamind Dextrin Parafin Sodium formate Acid, Citric Dextrose Pepsin Sodium iodide Acid, Lactic Diatomaceous

  • Sugar Alcohols a Sugar Alcohol Is a Kind of Alcohol Prepared from Sugars
    Sweeteners, Good, Bad, or Something even Worse. (Part 8) These are Low calorie sweeteners - not non-calorie sweeteners Sugar Alcohols A sugar alcohol is a kind of alcohol prepared from sugars. These organic compounds are a class of polyols, also called polyhydric alcohol, polyalcohol, or glycitol. They are white, water-soluble solids that occur naturally and are used widely in the food industry as thickeners and sweeteners. In commercial foodstuffs, sugar alcohols are commonly used in place of table sugar (sucrose), often in combination with high intensity artificial sweeteners to counter the low sweetness of the sugar alcohols. Unlike sugars, sugar alcohols do not contribute to the formation of tooth cavities. Common Sugar Alcohols Arabitol, Erythritol, Ethylene glycol, Fucitol, Galactitol, Glycerol, Hydrogenated Starch – Hydrolysate (HSH), Iditol, Inositol, Isomalt, Lactitol, Maltitol, Maltotetraitol, Maltotriitol, Mannitol, Methanol, Polyglycitol, Polydextrose, Ribitol, Sorbitol, Threitol, Volemitol, Xylitol, Of these, xylitol is perhaps the most popular due to its similarity to sucrose in visual appearance and sweetness. Sugar alcohols do not contribute to tooth decay. However, consumption of sugar alcohols does affect blood sugar levels, although less than that of "regular" sugar (sucrose). Sugar alcohols may also cause bloating and diarrhea when consumed in excessive amounts. Erythritol Also labeled as: Sugar alcohol Zerose ZSweet Erythritol is a sugar alcohol (or polyol) that has been approved for use as a food additive in the United States and throughout much of the world. It was discovered in 1848 by British chemist John Stenhouse. It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods. At the industrial level, it is produced from glucose by fermentation with a yeast, Moniliella pollinis.
