Naturally occurring non-toxic deep eutectic solvent constituents were considered; choline chloride, b-alanine, and betaine were selected as hydrogen bond acceptors; lactic acid, malic acid, and fructose were selected as hydrogen bond donors. Experimental gas absorption data were collected via experimental methods that uses gravimetric principles. Carbon dioxide capture data for an isolated hydrogen bond donor and hydrogen bond acceptor, as well as natural deep eutectic solvents, were collected. In addition to experimental data, a theoretical study using Density Functional Theory was carried out to analyze the properties of these fluids from the nanoscopic viewpoint and their relationship with the macroscopic behavior of the system, and its ability for carbon dioxide absorption. The combined experimental and theoretical reported approach work leads to valuable discussions on what is the effect of each hydrogen bond donor or acceptor, as well as how they influence the strength and stability of the carbon dioxide absorption in deep eutectic solvents.

  • Elements of a Glovebox Glove Integrity Program
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Elements of a Glovebox Glove Integrity Program Programmatic operations at the Los Alamos National Laboratory Plutonium Facility involve working with various amounts of plutonium and other highly toxic, alpha-emitting materials. The spread of radiological contamination on surfaces and airborne contamination and excursions of contaminants into the operator’s breathing zone are prevented through the use of a variety of gloveboxes. The glovebox gloves are the weakest part of this engineering control. As a matter of good business practice, a team of glovebox experts from Los Alamos National Laboratory has been assembled to proactively investigate processes and procedures that minimize unplanned openings in the glovebox gloves, i.e., breaches and failures. Working together, they have developed the key elements of an efficient Glovebox Glove Integrity Program (GGIP). In the following report, the consequences of a glove failure or breach are identified, the acceptable risk is clarified, and elements needed to implement an efficient GGIP are discussed.

Stoyanov* Cite This: ACS Sustainable Chem. Eng. 2020, 8, 14166−14178 Read Online ACCESS Metrics & More Article Recommendations *sı Supporting Information ABSTRACT: In this study, we report a novel, green chemistry approach for creating new cellulose solvents based on a mixture of a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) and a primary cellulose solvent. Because of the strong hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor ability of both the NADES and the primary cellulose solvent, the new mixed system is a cellulose solvent, with an improved cellulose dissolution capacity. We believe that this is a generic approach to prepare an entirely new class of green solvent, capable of dissolving cellulose under mild conditions. This in turn will facilitate the creation of a large amount of new cellulose-based (soft) materials. To illustrate our approach, we show that a NADES based on choline chloride + malic acid can be used as cosolvent for the industrial cellulose solvent N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide mono- hydrate (NMMO). The new mixed cellulose solvent system has improved cellulose dissolution capacity and has a much broader processing window, which allows working with dissolved cellulose at ambient temperatures, far below 70 °C, where NNMO monohydrate will solidify. This, in turn, can not only help to address the thermal instability issue of pure NMMO when processed at elevated temperatures, but also expands the working conditions of the lyocell process.

    -82- Chapter 2 The Synthesis and Reactivity of Group 7 Carbonyl Derivatives Relevant to Synthesis Gas Conversion -83- Abstract Various Group 7 carbonyl complexes have been synthesized. Reduction of these complexes with hydride sources, such as LiHBEt3, led to the formation of formyl species. A more electrophilic carbonyl precursor, [Mn(PPh3)(CO)5][BF4], reacted with transition metal hydrides to form a highly reactive formyl product. Moreover, a diformyl species was obtained when [Re(CO)4(P(C6H4(p-CF3))3)2][BF4] was treated with excess LiHBEt3. The synthesis and reactivity of novel borane-stabilized Group 7 formyl complexes is also presented. The new carbene-like species display remarkable stability compared to the corresponding “naked” formyl complexes. Reactivity differs significantly whether BF3 or B(C6F5)3 binds the formyl oxygen. Unlike other analogs, Mn(CO)3(PPh3)2(CHOB(C6F5)3) is not stable over time and undergoes decomposition to a manganese carbonyl borohydride complex. Cationic Fischer carbenes were prepared by the reaction of the corresponding formyl species with electrophiles trimethylsilyl triflate and methyl triflate. While the siloxycarbene product is highly unstable at room temperature, the methoxy carbene is stable both in solution and in the solid state. Treating the methoxycarbene complexes with a hydride led to the formation of methoxymethyl species. Manganese methoxymethyl complexes are susceptible to SN2-type attack by a hydride to release dimethyl ether and a manganese anion, which presumably proceeds with further reaction with reactive impurities or borane present. Furthermore, subjecting manganese methoxymethyl complexes to an atmosphere of CO led to the formation of acyl products via migratory insertion.
