    1 Water and Ethanol 1.1 Introduction From a macroscopic perspective, wine is a mildly acidic hydroethanolic solution. As shown in Table 1.1, water and ethanol represent ~97% w/w of dry table wines. Ethanol is the major bioactive compound in wine and its presence renders wine and other alcoholic beverages inhospitable to microbial pathogens. Understanding the physiochemical properties of wine will first require a review of the basic properties of water and water–ethanol mixtures. More thorough discussions of the unique properties of water, including those specific to the food chemistry, can be found elsewhere [1]. 1.2 Chemical and physical properties of water Water is a hydride of oxygen, but has unique properties compared to other hydrides of elements nearby on the periodic table, as shown in Table 1.2. For example, the boiling point of water (100 °C) is far above that of hydrides of adjacent elements on the periodic table: HF (19.5 °C), H2S (–60 °C), and NH3 (–33 °C). Thus, water exists as a liquid at room temperature, while the other hydrides exist as gases. Similarly, water also has a higher heat of vaporization, heat capacity, and freezing point than would be expected as compared to nearby hydrides. The unique properties of water are largely due to its ability to engage in intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond- ing, which results in stronger molecule‐to‐molecule interactions than in related compounds. ●● Oxygen is more electronegativeCOPYRIGHTED than hydrogen and an O–H MATERIALbond is more polarized than N–H or S–H. ●● The geometry and symmetry of an H2O molecule allows for four concurrent H bonds per water molecule.

  • Dehydrogenation of Ethanol to Acetaldehyde Over Different Metals Supported on Carbon Catalysts

The low-cost accessibility of ethanol has been seen as an interesting topic, leading to the extensive study of the formation of distinct chemicals, such as ethylene, diethyl ether, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate, starting from ethanol as a raw material. In this paper, ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde in a one-step reaction was investigated by using commercial activated carbon with four different metal-doped catalysts. The reaction was conducted in a packed-bed micro-tubular reactor under a temperature range of 250–400 ◦C. The best results were found by using the copper doped on an activated carbon catalyst. Under this specified condition, ethanol conversion of 65.3% with acetaldehyde selectivity of 96.3% at 350 ◦C was achieved. This was probably due to the optimal acidity of copper doped on the activated carbon catalyst, as proven by the temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia (NH3-TPD). In addition, the other three catalyst samples (activated carbon, ceria, and cobalt doped on activated carbon) also favored high selectivity to acetaldehyde (>90%).

MIUR subjects: FIS/03, FIS/07, CHIM/01, CHIM/10 PACS: 82.20.Pm, 33.15.Ms, 31.15.Ar Abstract Wine is a complex mixture housing many aroma and flavor compounds giving it a unique texture and bouquet. These volatile organic compounds (VOCs), if present near the sensory threshold limits, may contribute positively to wine quality; however, excessive amounts can detract from quality, and are considered as a fault in wine. It is believed that nearly 10% of the world’s wine is affected from various types of faults. The most common and potent wine taint is 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (2,4,6-TCA), com- monly known as cork-taint molecule resulting from the cork stopper of wine bottles. 2,4,6- TCA produces intense ’musty’, ’mouldy’ ’earthy’ smelling in wine.

  • ACETIC ACID and ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994)
    Abstract Process Economics Program Report 37B ACETIC ACID AND ACETIC ANHYDRIDE (November 1994) This Report presents preliminary process designs and estimated economics for the manufacture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride by carbonylation technology. The three processes evaluated in this report include Monsanto’s low pressure carbonylation of methanol process (BP Chemical acquired licensing rights to this process in 1985), Eastman’s process for carbonylation of methyl acetate to produce acetic anhydride (methanol added to the reaction mixture results in the coproduction of acetic acid in this process), and a process based on BP Chemical patents that coproduces acetic acid and acetic anhydride via carbonylation of methyl acetate in the presence of water. Both the Eastman and BP Chemical processes are back– integrated into the manufacture of the methyl acetate feedstock from methanol and acetic acid. We have included a discussion of other commercialized acetic acid and acetic anhydride processes as well as potential new processes. A list of the world’s acetic acid and acetic anhydride producers along with their estimated plant capacities and a description of the major acetic acid and acetic anhydride markets are also included in this Report. This Report will be useful to producers of acetic acid and acetic anhydride, as well as to producers of methanol and downstream products such as vinyl acetate monomer.

    Glossary of Terms Acceptable Daily Intake or Allowed Daily Intake (ADI) → Dose- Response Relationship/Curve Allergen The allergen is a material which triggers an allergic reaction. Allopathy The term allopathy was created by Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann (1755– 1843) (from the Greek prefix άλλος, állos, “other”, “different” and the suffix πάϑος, páthos, “suffering”) in order to distinguish his technique (homeopathy) from the traditional medicine of his age. Today, allopathy means a medicine based on the principles of modern pharmacology. Anaphylactic shock Anaphylaxis (or an anaphylactic shock) is a whole-body, rapidly developing aller- gic reaction, which may lead to lethal respiratory and circulatory failure. Antibody Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize exogenous (external) substances. Chromatography, chromatogram Chromatography is the common name of different techniques used to separate mix- tures of compounds. HPLC stands for high-performance liquid chromatography. A chromatogram is the pattern of separated substances obtained by chromatography. Colloidal sol A colloidal sol is a suspension of very small solid particles in a continuous liquid medium. Colloidal sols are quite stable and show the Tyndall effect (light scatter- ing by particles in a colloid). They can be quite stable. Examples include blood, pigmented ink, and paint.

Wetenschappers die deze secondes pas willen toevoegen op het moment dat ze zijn opgespaard tot een schrikkeluur, omdat de toevoegingen storingen kunnen veroorzaken in elektronische apparatuur, hebben de menselijke factor uit het oog verloren. 5- In de weekeindes waarin een nieuw boek over Harry Potter uitkomt, is het aantal kinderen dat op de eerstehulpafdeling van het ziekenhuis belandt bijna half zo groot als in andere weekeindes. Gwilym et al. hebben de afname over de lange termijn waarschijnlijk onderschat.
