Because of the global spread of multi- drug resistant TB and high infection rates, there is a significant unmet clinical need for new drugs. M. tuberculosis (Mtb) produces mycothiol (MSH) in place of glutathione as the most abundant low molecular weight thiol.

Reeve 1996, 880 pages, 7" x 10" hard cover page Order Number: 0102B061 ISBN: 0-89852-063-0 This comprehensive text is a complete revision of The Bleaching of Pulp, published by TAPPI PRESS in 1979. The new text covers fundamentals and processes from chemical composition of pulp to technology, production, and the environmental impact of bleaching. Designed as a text book and reference book, Pulp Bleaching: Principles and Practice explains what bleaching is, why pulp is bleached, and how bleaching is done. The book is divided into eight major sections which are sub-divided into 36 chapters covering all aspects of pulp bleaching. The book also features discussions on several "hot topics" in pulp bleaching, enzyme assisted bleaching, and bleaching of recycled fiber. In addition, the book is key word indexed and each chapter contains extensive references. Pulp Bleaching: Principles and Practice will be a valuable textbook for students in pulp and paper programs and a comprehensive reference for everyone involved in pulp bleaching, especially process engineers, project engineers, and technical personnel. Edited by pulp bleaching specialists Carlton W. Dence and Douglas W. Reeve, this book contains the work of 57 co-authors and was sponsored by the Pulp Bleaching Committee of TAPPI's Pulp Manufacture Division.

  • Reaction of Thiourea with Hydrogen Peroxide: 13C NMR Studies of an Oxidative /Reductive Bleaching Process
    -_ 94 Reaction of Thiourea with Hydrogen Peroxide: 13C NMR Studies of an Oxidative /Reductive Bleaching Process MUSTAFAARIFOGLU, WILLIAM N. MARMER,~AND ROBERTL. DUDLEY USDA, ARS, Eastern Regional Research Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19118 U.S.A. ABSTRACT Thiourea’s reaction with hydrogen peroxide in solution under bleaching conditions at three different pH values has been investigated using 13C NMR spectroscopy. Since this reaction is fast and exothermic, it is essential that short total acquisition times be used to accumulate sufficient data to detect differentspecies formed during the reaction. As the abundance of I3C in the reactants in the concentration range studied is very low, I3C-labeled thiourea was used as the starting material. Sufficient data were ac- cumulated in short acquisition times (2-4 minutes) to identify different species formed during the reaction. The results showed that differentintermediate products are formed during the reactions, depending on the pH of the medium and the molar ratio of the reactants. The reaction goes through a thiourea dioxide intermediate; this then hy- drolyzes under heat and neutral or alkaline conditions to yield sulfinate anion and urea if the initial reaction of thiourea with hydrogen peroxide is allowed to take place in acidic/neutral medium (pH = 4.0-7.0). Because thiourea dioxide hydrolyzes in solution, there is a rapid change in redox potential from a positive value to a high negative value. The species causing the negative redox potential, and hence the species responsible for reductive bleaching, is believed to be the sulfinate anion. The reaction of thiourea with hydrogen peroxide in hydrochloric acid at pH < 1 results in the formation of formamidine disulfide dihydrochloride, which decomposes at pH values greater than 1.

DeMartino,†,‡ and Peter C. Ford* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California at Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California 93106-9510, United States *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Carbon disulfide is an environmental toxin, but there are suggestions in the literature that it may also have regulatory and/or therapeutic roles in mammalian physiology. Thiols or thiolates would be likely biological targets for an electrophile, such as CS2, and in this context, the present study examines the dynamics of CS2 reactions with various thiols (RSH) in physiologically relevant near-neutral aqueous media to form the respective trithiocarbonate anions (TTC−,alsoknownas “thioxanthate anions”). The rates of TTC− formation are markedly pH-dependent, indicating that the reactive form of RSH is the conjugate base RS−. The rates of the reverse reaction, that is, decay − of TTC anions to release CS2, is pH-independent, with rates roughly antiparallel to the basicities of the RS− conjugate base. These observations indicate that the rate-limiting step of decay is − − simple CS2 dissociation from RS , and according to microscopic reversibility, the transition state of TTC formation would be − ° simple addition of the RS nucleophile to the CS2 electrophile. At pH 7.4 and 37 C, cysteine and glutathione react with CS2 at a similar rate but the trithiocarbonate product undergoes a slow cyclization to give 2-thiothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid.

In this study, thermodynamic properties of thiourea and its oxides are investigated by measuring their thermogravimetry (TG), differential thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) simultaneously. Online FT-IR measurements show that products of the thermal decomposition vary significantly with the reaction temperature. In addition to the determination of their apparent activation energy (E), preexponential factor (A), and entropy (∆Sq), enthalpy (∆Hq), and Gibbs energy (∆Gq) of thermal decomposition, our investigation further illustrates that the decomposition kinetics of thiourea and thiourea oxides follows the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami Equation, f (R) ) n(1 -R)- [-ln(1 -R)]1-1/n and G(R) ) [-ln(1 -R)]1/n with n equal to 2, 3.43, and 3, respectively. 1.

  • MARLAP Manual Volume II: Chapter 14, Separation Techniques (PDF)
    14 SEPARATION TECHNIQUES 14.1 Introduction The methods for separating, collecting, and detecting radionuclides are similar to ordinary analytical procedures and employ many of the chemical and physical principles that apply to their nonradioactive isotopes. However, some important aspects of the behavior of radionuclides are significantly different, resulting in challenges to the radiochemist to find a means for isolation of a pure sample for analysis (Friedlander et al., 1981). While separation techniques and principles may be found in standard textbooks, Chapter 14 addresses the basic chemical principles that apply to the analysis of radionuclides, with an emphasis on their unique behavior. It is not a comprehensive review of all techniques. This chapter provides: (1) a review of the important chemical principles underlying radiochemical separations, (2) a survey of the important separation methods used in radiochemistry with a discussion of their advantages and disadvantages, and (3) an examination of the particular features of radioanalytical chemistry that distinguish it from ordinary analytical chemistry. Extensive examples have been provided throughout the chapter to illustrate various principles, practices, and procedures in radiochemistry. Many were selected purposely as familiar illustrations from agency procedural manuals. Others were taken from the classical and recent radiochemical literature to provide a broad, general overview of the subject. This chapter integrates the concepts of classical chemistry with those topics unique to radio- nuclide analysis. The first eight sections of the chapter describe the bases for chemical separations involving oxidation-reduction, complex-ion formation, distillation/volatilization, solvent extraction, precipitation and coprecipitation, electrochemistry, and chromatography. Carriers and tracers, which are unique to radiochemistry, are described in Section 14.9 together with specific separation examples for each of the elements covered in this manual.
