Chapter 9 Titrimetric Methods 413

Titrimetric methods were not well received by the analytical chemists of that era because they could not duplicate the accuracy and precision of a gravimetric analysis. Not surprisingly, few standard texts from the 1700s and 1800s include titrimetric methods of analysis. Precipitation gravimetry developed as an analytical method without a general theory of precipitation. An empirical relationship between a precipitate’s mass and the mass of analyte— what analytical chemists call a gravimetric factor—was determined experimentally by taking a known mass of analyte through the procedure. Today, we recognize this as an early example of an external standardization. Gravimetric factors were not calculated using the stoichiometry of a precipitation reaction because chemical formulas and atomic weights were not yet available! Unlike gravimetry, the development and acceptance of titrimetry required a deeper understanding of stoichiometry, of thermodynamics, and of chemical equilibria. By the 1900s, the accuracy and precision of titrimetric methods were comparable to that of gravimetric methods, establishing titrimetry as an accepted analytical technique. 411 412 Analytical Chemistry 2.0 9A Overview of Titrimetry We are deliberately avoiding the term In titrimetry we add a reagent, called the titrant, to a solution contain- analyte at this point in our introduction ing another reagent, called the titrand, and allow them to react. -

SASSAFRAS TEA: USING A TRADITIONAL METHOD OF PREPARATION TO REDUCE THE CARCINOGENIC COMPOUND SAFROLE A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Forest Resources by Kate Cummings May 2012 Accepted by: Patricia Layton, Ph.D., Committee Chair Karen C. Hall, Ph.D Feng Chen, Ph. D. Christina Wells, Ph. D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to quantify the carcinogenic compound safrole in the traditional preparation method of making sassafras tea from the root of Sassafras albidum. The traditional method investigated was typical of preparation by members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and other Appalachian peoples. Sassafras is a tree common to the eastern coast of the United States, especially in the mountainous regions. Historically and continuing until today, roots of the tree are used to prepare fragrant teas and syrups. -

Chapter 8: Gravimetric Methods
Chapter 8 Gravimetric Methods Chapter Overview 8A Overview of Gravimetric Methods 8B Precipitation Gravimetry 8C Volatilization Gravimetry 8D Particulate Gravimetry 8E Key Terms 8F Chapter Summary 8G Problems 8H Solutions to Practice Exercises Gravimetry includes all analytical methods in which the analytical signal is a measurement of mass or a change in mass. When you step on a scale after exercising you are making, in a sense, a gravimetric determination of your mass. Mass is the most fundamental of all analytical measurements, and gravimetry is unquestionably our oldest quantitative analytical technique. The publication in 1540 of Vannoccio Biringuccio’sPirotechnia is an early example of applying gravimetry—although not yet known by this name—to the analysis of metals and ores.1 Although gravimetry no longer is the most important analytical method, it continues to find use in specialized applications. 1 Smith, C. S.; Gnodi, M. T. translation of Biringuccio, V. Pirotechnia, MIT Press: Cambridge, MA, 1959. 355 356 Analytical Chemistry 2.0 8A Overview of Gravimetric Methods Before we consider specific gravimetric methods, let’s take a moment to develop a broad survey of gravimetry. Later, as you read through the de- scriptions of specific gravimetric methods, this survey will help you focus on their similarities instead of their differences. You will find that it is easier to understand a new analytical method when you can see its relationship to other similar methods. 8A.1 Using Mass as an Analytical Signal Method 2540D in Standard Methods for Suppose you are to determine the total suspended solids in the water re- the Examination of Waters and Wastewaters, leased by a sewage-treatment facility. -

Telegraphic address: COMEUR Brussels http://europa.eu.int/comm/food/fs/sc/scf/index_en.html SCF/CS/FLAV/FLAVOUR/4 ADD1 FINAL Opinion of the Scientific Committee on Food on Methyleugenol (4-Allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene) (adopted on 26 September 2001) Terms of reference The Committee is asked to advise the Commission on substances used as flavouring substances or present in flavourings or present in other food ingredients with flavouring properties for which existing toxicological data indicate that restrictions of use or presence might be necessary to ensure safety for human health. In particular, the Committee is asked to advise the Commission on the implications for human health of methyleugenol (4-allyl-1,2-dimethoxybenzene) in the diet. Introduction In 1999 methyleugenol was evaluated by the Committee of Experts on Flavouring Substances of the Council of Europe. The conclusions of this Committee were: "Available data show that methyleugenol is a naturally-occurring genotoxic carcinogen compound with a DNA-binding potency similar to that of safrole. Human exposure to methyleugenol may occur through the consumption of foodstuffs flavoured with aromatic plants and/or their essential oil fractions which contain methyleugenol. -

Gravimetric Analysis
Gravimetric Analysis Gravimetric Analysis can be used to determine the percent composition of a species in a compound. This is known as quantitative analysis. An agent (precipitating agent) is chosen which will cause the species of interest to precipitate out of solution. The precipitate is then isolated and weighed. Through a series of calculations, the amount of the species in the original sample or compound can then be determined. 1. Weigh accurately about 0.5 g of the unknown, and dissolve it in water. The volume of water is not important, but you do want to make sure the solid is completely dissolved. 2. Add the precipitating agent in the form of solution. For example, to precipitate a chloride use a soluble salt of silver (AgNO3). 3. Add the precipitating agent until no more solid seems to precipitate. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes, and then add a few drops more, observing to see if any more precipitation occurs. If you see more solid forming, keep repeating the steps until no more precipitate results. Now separate the solid from the liquid. The mixture can be filtered by vacuum filtration through a weighed filter paper. Other methods involve gravity filtration or use of a centrifuge. Allow the solid to dry until you get a constant weight for readings at subsequent times (at least overnight or through use of an oven). 4. From the mass of precipitated compound (ppt) and the formula (in this case AgCl), you can calculate the percent composition of a species (in this case Cl-) in the original sample. -

Ethanol Production from Hydrolyzed Kraft Pulp by Mono- and Co-Cultures of Yeasts: the Challenge of C6 and C5 Sugars Consumption

Serafim and Ana M. R. B. Xavier * CICECO–Aveiro Institute of Materials, Chemistry Department, University of Aveiro, Campus Universitario de; Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal; [email protected] (R.H.R.B.); [email protected] (M.S.T.A.); luisa.serafi[email protected] (L.S.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +351-234-370-716 Received: 27 December 2019; Accepted: 4 February 2020; Published: 8 February 2020 Abstract: Second-generation bioethanol production’s main bottleneck is the need for a costly and technically difficult pretreatment due to the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass (LCB). Chemical pulping can be considered as a LCB pretreatment since it removes lignin and targets hemicelluloses to some extent. Chemical pulps could be used to produce ethanol. The present study aimed to investigate the batch ethanol production from unbleached Kraft pulp of Eucalyptus globulus by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF). Enzymatic hydrolysis of the pulp resulted in a glucose yield of 96.1 3.6% and a xylose yield of 94.0 7.1%. In an Erlenmeyer flask, fermentation of the ± ± hydrolysate using Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed better results than Scheffersomyces stipitis. At both the Erlenmeyer flask and bioreactor scale, co-cultures of S. cerevisiae and S. stipitis did not show significant improvements in the fermentation performance. The best result was provided by S. cerevisiae alone in a bioreactor, which fermented the Kraft pulp hydrolysate with an ethanol yield of 0.433 g g 1 and a volumetric ethanol productivity of 0.733 g L 1 h 1, and a maximum ethanol · − · − · − concentration of 19.24 g L 1 was attained.
