This study focused on the production of ethyl levulinate from levulinic acid via esterification reaction in the presence of HPW/ZrO2.The catalyst was prepared using the wet impregnation method, characterized by using FTIR, BET and NH3-TPD and screened based on 20%, 40% and 60% HPW/ZrO2. The 40% HPW/ZrO2 catalyst exhibited the highest catalytic performance during the parameter screening stage which included catalyst loading (0.25‒1.25g) and volume ratio of levulinic acid to ethanol (1:4 – 1:8). The highest ethyl levulinate yield of 99% corresponded to a catalyst loading of 0.5 g and volume ratio of levulinic acid to ethanol of 1:5 with reaction conditions at 150 °C for 3 hours.

Sulman Tver Technical University, A.Nikitina str. 22, 170026, Tver, Russian Federation [email protected] Nowadays the development of effective catalytic systems of selective hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) to gamma -valerolactone (GVL) is of high importance. However, there is a lack of data concerning the use of polymer -based catalyst in this process. The possibility to use of Ru-containing catalysts on the basis of hypercrosslinked polystyrene (HPS) in hydrogenation of LA to GVL is discussed. Catalyst 5%-Ru/HPS is shown to be highly active and selective in hydrogenation of LA in aqueous medium (yield of GVL more than 99%) at mild reaction conditions (90 °C, 2 MPa of hydrogen partial pressure) and the absence of co-catalysts. 1. Introduction Global petro-chemical market faces increasing competition and a dependency on external sources, and is under considerable cost and ecological pressure. Biomass has received considerable attention as a sustainable feedstock that can replace diminishing fossil fuels for the production of energy, especially for the transportation sector.

Shale gas is present in hydrocarbon rich shale formations. Shallow gas is commonly defined as gas occurrences in unconsolidated sediments of Tertiary age (often down to depths of 1000 m below surface). The occurrences are positively associated with thick Neogene sediments and are often trapped in anticlinal structures associated with rising salt domes (Muntendam-Bos et al, 2009). Shale has low matrix permeability, so gas production in commercial quantities requires fractures to provide permeability.

  • Milk Allergy
    Allergic reactions Allergic reactions are severe adverse reactions that occur when the body’s immune system overreacts to a particular allergen.These reactions may be caused by food, insect stings, latex, medications and other substances. In Canada, the nine priority food allergens Milk are peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, milk, eggs, seafood (fish, crustaceans and shellfish), soy, wheat One of the nine most and sulphites (a food additive). common food allergens What are the symptoms of an allergic reaction? When someone comes in contact with an allergen, the symptoms of a reaction may develop quickly and rapidly progress from mild to severe. The most severe form of an allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis. Symptoms can include breathing difficulties, a drop in blood pressure or shock, which may result in loss of consciousness and even death. A person experiencing an allergic reaction may have any of the following symptoms: • Flushed face, hives or a rash, red and itchy skin • Swelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat and tongue • Trouble breathing, speaking or swallowing • Anxiety, distress, faintness, paleness, sense of doom, weakness • Cramps, diarrhea, vomiting • A drop in blood pressure, rapid heart beat, loss of consciousness How are food allergies and severe allergic reactions treated? Currently there is no cure for food allergies. The only option is complete avoidance of the specific allergen. Appropriate emergency treatment for anaphylaxis (a severe food allergy reaction) includes an injection of adrenaline, which is available in an auto-injector device. Adrenaline must be administered as soon as symptoms of a severe allergic reaction appear.The injection must be followed by further treatment and observation in a hospital emergency room.

  • Sodium Reduction Made Easy with Sub4salt® Cure and Potassium
    facts Sodium reduction made easy with sub4salt ® cure and potassium lactates Introduction There are two important considerations in the preparation of processed meat products. Firstly, a product that remains safe and stable for its entire shelf life is a must. Secondly, there is an increasing demand for healthier meat products. One of the major health trends in the processed meat market is sodium reduction, since these products usually contain high levels of salt. A high sodium intake is associated with negative effects on the human body such as hypertension, strokes and kidney disease. Potassium lactate and blends with acetates or diacetates accommodate both of these considerations. Jungbunzlauer provides solutions for the meat industry that ensure there is no microbiological growth in products over a long period of time, even at low use levels. Furthermore, choosing the right potassium-based ingredient can result in a sodium reduction of over 25% and, in combination with Jungbunzlauer’s sub4salt ® cure, a 1:1 curing salt substitute, a sodium reduction of over 50% is possible. 2 Why reduce sodium? Changing lifestyles and rapid urbanization have caused a shift in dietary patterns to consuming more highly processed food and further from a diet focusing on fresh fruits and vegetables. Processed food is not only usually more calorie-dense and high in saturated fats, trans fats, sugars and salt, but also lower in potassium as this highly soluble mineral is washed out during processing. [20] Due to the reasons above, arteriosclerosis and hypertension are common in the modern Western world leading to cardio - vascular diseases (CVD).
