Abstract: Natural fatty derivatives (oleochemicals) have been used as intermediate materials in several industries replacing the harmful and expensive petrochemicals. Fatty ethoxylates are one of these natural fatty derivatives. In the present work Jatropha fatty acids were derived from the non edible Jatropha oil and used as the fat source precursor. The ethoxylation process was carried out on the derived fatty acids using a conventional cheap catalyst (K2CO3) in order to obtain economically and naturally valuable non- ionic surfactants. Ethoxylation reaction was proceeded using ethylene oxide gas in the presence of 1 or 2% K2CO3 catalyst at 120 and 145°C for 5, 8 and 12 hours. The prepared products were evaluated for their chemical and physical properties as well as its application as non- ionic fat-liquoring agents in leather industry. The obtained results showed that the number of ethylene oxide groups introduced in the fatty acids as well as their EO% increased as the temperature and time of the reaction increased. The highest ethoxylation number was obtained at 145°C for 8 hr. Also, the prepared ethoxylated products were found to be effective fat-liquors with high HLB values giving stable oil in water emulsions. The fat-liquored leather led to an improvement in its mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break. In addition, a significant enhancement in the texture of the treated leather by the prepared fat-liquors as indicated from the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images was observed.

    Enhancing the efficacy of Antimicrobial peptide BM2, against mono-species biofilms, by combining with detergents A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Clinical Dentistry (Endodontics) Arpana Arthi Devi Department of Oral Rehabilitation, School of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 2016 Abstract Title Enhancing the efficacy of antimicrobial peptide BM2, against mono-species biofilms, by combining with detergents. Aim To investigate if a detergent regime could enhance the antimicrobial ability of BM2. Method Strains of Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus mutans, and Candida albicans were grown from glycerol stocks after confirmation of the strains. After subculturing single colonies were cultured in TSB and CSM liquid media for 24hr to obtain a microbial suspension which was adjusted to OD600nm = 0.5. Dilution series of the peptidomimetic BM2 and detergents were prepared in aqueous solution and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined using a broth micro-dilution method. Further on planktonic cells and monospecies biofilms were exposed to the detergent and BM2 combinations. The efficacy of BM2 and detergents at causing biofilm detachment was measured using a crystal violet based assay. Results Planktonic cells were easier to kill with some of the detergents in isolation or in combination with BM2. SDS and CTAB in combination with BM2 increased the efficacy of BM2 against the test organisms. Tween 20 did not kill any of the test organisms alone or in combination. Biofilms were harder to eradicate and detergent, BM2 combinations gave varied results for the different species tested. Detergents in combination with BM2 did not increase the efficacy of the antimicrobial peptide in disrupting S.

  • Ethoxylation Reactor Modelling and Design
    Ethoxylation Reactor Modelling and Design by Yen-ni Chiu Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) UNSW A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Facaulty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia To Mum, Dad, Jess and Ted Abstract The manufacture of nonionic surfactants generally involves ethoxylation via ethylene oxide condensation onto a hydrophobe substrate, mostly in the presence of an alkaline catalyst. Nonionic surfactants are used widely in industrial applications, such as detergents, health and personal care, coatings, and polymers. In Australia, approximately one-third of the annual consumption of nonionic surfactants is imported from offshore manufacturers; the market is highly competitive with the local manufacturer facing increasing competition from imports. Optimisation is a pressing need for the current manufacturing plant of the industrial partner for this research project, Huntsman Corporation Australia Pty Limited, the sole domestic manufacturer of nonionic surfactants in Australia. Therefore, the objectives of this research project were • to gain a better understanding of the various chemical and physical processes occurring simultaneously in an ethoxylation process; • to identify the process limitation in an existing production plant operated by Huntsman Corporation Australia, and • to explore measures for enhancing the asset productivity of the production plant. An ethoxylation process working model, describing the chemical kinetics and the physical transport processes involved, was developed to aid the exploration of optimisation opportunities, which would otherwise be empirical. Accordingly, this research project was structured into a two-stage program. The first stage determined the ethoxylation kinetics experimentally. The second stage investigated the interactions of physical transport processes numerically using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique.

  • Fatty Acids: Fatty Acid Is a Carboxylic Acid Often with a Long Aliphatic Chain, Which Is Either Saturated Or Unsaturated
    Introduction 1 Fatty Acids: Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid often with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Fatty acids and their derivatives are consumed in a wide variety because they are used as raw materials for a wide variety of industrial products like, paints, surfactant, textiles, plastics, rubber, cosmetics, foods and pharmaceuticals. Industrially, fatty acids are produced by the hydrolysis of triglycerides, with the removal of glycerol moiety. As mentioned before, fatty acids can be classified into two classes, the first is unsaturated fatty acid with one or more double bonds in the alkyl chain and the other is saturated fatty acid. Long chain 3-alkenoic acids are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids which have in common a carbon–carbon double bond in the position 3. They are used as key precursors for synthesis of many organic compounds. There are many methods for the synthesis of such acids; here we will mention two of these methods. Nucleophilic substitution of allylic substrates with organometallic reagents, treatment of β-vinyl-β-propiolactone with butylmagnesium bromide in the presence of copper(I) iodide in THF at –30 o C, gave 3-nonenoic acid as a major product and 3-butyl-4-pentenoic acid with the ratio 98:2 respectively(1). Knoevenagel condensation of an aldehyde with malonic acid in the presence of organic bases was considerable value for the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids. This reaction is mainly related to its application for the synthesis of α-β-unsaturated fatty acids. For the synthesis of β-γ-unsaturated fatty acids the Linstead modification (2) of the Knoevenagel condensation, in which triethanolamine or other tertiary amines are used.

  • Predicting Distribution of Ethoxylation Homologues With
    1 PREDICTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF ETHOXYLATION HOMOLOGUES WITH A PROCESS SIMULATOR Nathan Massey, Chemstations, Inc. Introduction Ethoxylates are generally obtained by additions of ethylene oxide (EO) to compounds containing dissociated protons. Substrates used for ethoxylation are primarily linear and branched C12-C18 alcohols, alkyl phenols, nonyl (propylene trimer) or decyl (propylene tetramer) groups, fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives. The addition of EO to a substrate containing acidic hydrogen is catalyzed by bases or Lewis acids. Amphoteric catalysts, as well as heterogeneous catalysts are also used. The degree of ethoxylation ( the moles of EO added per mole of substrate ) varies over wide ranges, in general between 3 and 40, and is chosen according to the intended use. As an illustration of how this distribution might be predicted using a process simulator, Chemcad was used to simulate the ethoxylation of Nonylphenols. Description of the Ethoxylation Chemistry The reaction mechanisms of base catalyzed and acid catalyzed ethoxylation differ, which affects the composition of the reaction products. In base catalyzed ethoxylation an alcoholate anion, formed initially by reaction with the catalyst ( alkali metal, alkali metal oxide, carbonate, hydroxide, or alkoxide ) nucleophilically attacks EO. The resulting union of the EO addition product can undergo an equilibrium reaction with the alcohol starting material or ethoxylated product, or can react further with EO: Figure 1 O RO- + H2CCH2 - - RO CH2CH2O O ROH H2CCH2 - - RO RO CH2CH2OH RO RO CH2CH2O 2 As Figure 1 illustrates, in alkaline catalyzed ethoxylations several reactions proceed in parallel. The addition of EO to an anion with the formation of an ether bond is irreversible.

  • Combined UV-Vis-Absorbance and Reflectance Spectroscopy Study of Dye Transfer Kinetics in Aqueous Mixtures of Surfactants
    Noname manuscript No. (will be inserted by the editor) Combined UV-Vis-absorbance and Reflectance Spectroscopy Study of Dye Transfer Kinetics in Aqueous Mixtures of Surfactants Carlos G. Lopez · Anna Manova · Corinna Hoppe · Michael Dreja · Peter Schmiedel · Mareile Job · Walter Richtering · Alexander B¨oker · Larisa Tsarkova Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract We report an analytical approach to study the kinetics of desorp- tion and exhaustion of a hydrophobic dye in a multicomponent washing-model environment. The process of dye transfer between an acceptor textile (white polyamide), detergent micelles and a donor textile (red polyester) was quan- tified by a combination of colorimetric analyses. UV-Vis absorbance and UV- reflectance spectroscopy were used to follow the concentration of the solubilised dye in the micelles and the amount of dyer transferred to the acceptor textile, respectively, as a function of time. Up to ' 10 min of the washing process, the released dye is predominantly solubilised in surfactant micelles. At later times, the adsorption of the dye on the hydrophobic surface of the acceptor textile is energetically favoured. The shift of the desorption equilibrium in the presence of the acceptor textile results in ' 30% increase in the release of the dye. The reported methodology provides insight into the competition between solubili- sation of hydrophobic molecules by amphiphiles and dye adsorption on solid substrates, important for designing novel concepts of dye transfer inhibition.

    2. Literature Review 2.1 Flexible Polyurethane Foam Chemistry This section focuses on the basic chemical reactions involved in the formation of flexible polyurethane foams. Since flexible polyurethane foam production requires a variety of chemicals and additives, this section will review specific chemicals and their importance in the foaming process. 2.1.1 General Chemical Reactions Flexible polyurethane foam chemistry particularly features two reactions – the ‘blow’ reaction and the ‘gelation’ reaction. A delicate balance between the two reactions is required in order to achieve a foam with a stable open-celled structure and good physical properties. The commercial success of polyurethane foams can be partially attributed to catalysts which help to precisely control these two reaction schemes. An imbalance between the two reactions can lead to foam collapse, serious imperfections, and cells that open prematurely or not at all. 2.1.1.1 Blow Reaction The first step of the model blow reaction (Figure 2.1) involves the reaction of an isocyanate group with water to yield a thermally unstable carbamic acid which decomposes to give an amine functionality, carbon dioxide, and heat.

Dermal penetration of these ingredients would be unlikely because of their substantial polarity and molecular sizes. Negative oral carcinogenicity and reproductive and developmental toxicity data on chemically related laureths (PEG lauryl ethers) and negative repeated dose toxicity and skin sensitization data on disodium laureth sulfosuccinate supported the safety of these alkyl PEG sulfosuccinates in cosmetic products, but these ingredients do have the potential for causing ocular/skin irritation.

Sodium and ammonium laureth sulfate have not evoked adverse responses in any toxicological testing. Sodium laureth sulfate was demonstrated to be a dermal and ocular irritant but not a sensitizer. The Expert Panel recognized that there are data gaps regarding use and concentration of these ingredients. However, the overall information available on the types of products in which these ingredients are used and at what concentrations indicates a pattern of use. The potential to produce irritation exists with these salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols, but in practice they are not regularly seen to be irritating because of the formulations in which they are used. These ingredients should be used only when they can be formulated to be nonirritating. Keywords cosmetics, safety, sodium laureth sulfate, salts of sulfated ethoxylated alcohols The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel previ acknowledged that although these ingredients can be eye and ously evaluated the safety of sodium myreth sulfate, with the skin irritants, they can be used safely in the practices of use and data myreth sulfate and 2”1 conclusion, based on for sodium concentration reported.
