    (Revised 1/03) TOXICOLOGY AND EXPOSURE GUIDELINES ______________________________________________________________________ (For assistance, please contact EHS at (402) 472-4925, or visit our web site at http://ehs.unl.edu/) "All substances are poisons; there is none which is not a poison. The right dose differentiates a poison and a remedy." This early observation concerning the toxicity of chemicals was made by Paracelsus (1493- 1541). The classic connotation of toxicology was "the science of poisons." Since that time, the science has expanded to encompass several disciplines. Toxicology is the study of the interaction between chemical agents and biological systems. While the subject of toxicology is quite complex, it is necessary to understand the basic concepts in order to make logical decisions concerning the protection of personnel from toxic injuries. Toxicity can be defined as the relative ability of a substance to cause adverse effects in living organisms. This "relative ability is dependent upon several conditions. As Paracelsus suggests, the quantity or the dose of the substance determines whether the effects of the chemical are toxic, nontoxic or beneficial. In addition to dose, other factors may also influence the toxicity of the compound such as the route of entry, duration and frequency of exposure, variations between different species (interspecies) and variations among members of the same species (intraspecies). To apply these principles to hazardous materials response, the routes by which chemicals enter the human body will be considered first. Knowledge of these routes will support the selection of personal protective equipment and the development of safety plans. The second section deals with dose-response relationships.

  • Recovery of Furfural and Acetic Acid from Wood Hydrolysates in Biotechnological Downstream Processing
    Nadia Galeottia, Fabian Jiraseka, Jakob Burgerb,*, Hans Hassea Recovery of furfural and acetic acid from wood hydrolysates in biotechnological downstream processing Abstract Wood hydrolysates contain sugars that can be used as feedstock in fermentation processes. For that purpose, the hydrolysate must be concentrated and inhibitors that harm fermentation must be removed. Herein, the integration of these tasks with the recovery of inhibitors is studied. The wood hydrolysate is represented as a mixture of water, xylose, acetic acid, and furfural. Acetic acid and furfural are two frequently occurring inhibitors and valuable chemicals, and thus, their recovery is studied. Furfural is recovered from the vapors by heteroazeotropic distillation. It is shown that this can be achieved without additional energy. The recovery of acetic acid by distillation is also possible, but not attractive. The new process is simulated by using a thermodynamic model based on experimental data. Keywords: acetic acid, furfural, heteroazeotropic distillation, wood hydrolysates aLaboratory of Engineering Thermodynamics (LTD), University of Kaiserslautern, Erwin- Schrödinger Straße 44, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany bChair for Chemical Process Engineering, Technical University of Munich, Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability, 94315 Straubing, Germany *Corresponding author Email address: [email protected] (Jakob Burger) 1. Introduction The production of chemicals, polymers, and fuels from biomass is becoming increasingly important [1-3]. One of the most widely used biomass feedstock is lignocellulosic biomass. It is available e.g. in large amounts in the pulp and paper industry. Hydrolysates of lignocellulosic biomass contain sugars that can be used in fermentations which yield desired products such as ethanol [4-8]. However, the raw hydrolysates are not suited for the fermentation, firstly because the sugar concentration is too low, and secondly because they contain components that are toxic for the microorganisms, the so-called inhibitors.

    IMPROVEMENT OF A FURFURAL DISTILLATION PLANT By P. STEINGASZNER, A. Ri.LINT and M. KOJNOK Department of Chemical Technology, Technical University Budapest (Received July 1, 1976) Presented by Assoc. Prof. I. SZEBENYI 1. Introduction Furfural is an important chemical, due to its unsaturated bonds and aldehyde group. It is extensively used in plastics and paint manufacture and in precision casting. Furfural is produced from pentosane-containing agricultural wastes (corncobs, coconut seed hulls etc.) and from hard woods (mainly birch) by acid hydrolysis and subsequent dehydration according to the following equations: H.O C5H 80 4 --=-----+ C5H lO0 5 Pentosane Pentose -H,O'" '-, '" It is also formed as a by-product in wood pulp manufacture where it can be recovered from the effluent by steam stripping. Steam hydrolysis of pentosane-containing materials yields a reaction product containing 4-6% by weight of furfural, 2-5% of acetic acid, some tenth of a per cent of methyl alcohol and various, mostly unidentified com­ pounds in trace amounts. 2. Recovery of furfural by distillation 2.1. Conventional flow scheme The hydrolysis product is processed by multistep distillation. A con­ ventional sequence of distillation steps is shown in Fig. 1. The hydrolyzate is fed to a continuous distillation tower 1 provided with side-draw facilities in the rectifying section above the feed inlet plate. The bottom product consists of water and acetic acid; the liquid side-draw 60 P. STE1.YGASZ.YER et al. product contains 25 to 35 % by weight of furfural with small amounts of methyl alcohol and acids, the rest being water; the top product is mainly methyl alcohol.

SEHNEM, ÂNGELA S. MACHADO, CARLA R. MATTE, SCIENCES MARCOS ANTONIO DE MORAIS JR & MARCO ANTÔNIO Z. AYUB Abstract: The aims of this work were to improve cell tolerance towards high e20181030 concentrations of furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) of an osmotolerant strain of Wickerhamomyces anomalus by means of evolutionary engineering, and to determine its ethanol production under stress conditions. Cells were grown in the presence of 92 furfural, HMF, either isolated or in combination, and under high osmotic pressure (Suppl. 2) conditions. The most toxic condition for the parental strain was the combination of 92(Suppl. 2) both furans, under which it was unable to grow and to produce ethanol. However, the tolerant adapted strain achieved a yield of ethanol of 0.43 g g-1glucose in the presence of furfural and HMF, showing an alcohol dehydrogenase activity of 0.68 mU mg protein-1. For this strain, osmotic pressure, did not affect its growth rate. These results suggest that W. anomalus WA-HF5.5strain shows potential to be used in second-generation ethanol production systems. Key words: Second-generation ethanol, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, furaldehydes tol- erance, osmotic pressure, lignocellulosic hydrolysates.
