Ultrafiltration membranes offer a progressive and efficient means to filter out various process fluids. The prime factor influencing ultrafiltration to a great extent is the porosity of the membranes employed. Regarding membrane development, alumina membranes are extensively studied due to their uniform porosity and mechanical strength. The present research work is specifically aimed towards the investigation of nanoporous alumina membranes, as a function of sintering parameters, on ultrafiltration performance. Alumina membranes are fabricated by sintering at various temperatures ranging from 1200–1300 °C for different holding times between 5–15 h. The morphological analysis, conducted using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealed a homogeneous distribution of pores throughout the surface and cross-section of the membranes developed. It was observed that an increase in the sintering temperature and time resulted in a gradual decrease in the average pore size. A sample with an optimal pore size of 73.65 nm achieved after sintering at 1250 °C for 15 h, was used for the evaluation of ultrafiltration performance. However, the best mechanical strength and highest stress-bearing ability were exhibited by the sample sintered at 1300 °C for 5 h, whereas the sample sintered at 1250 °C for 5 h displayed the highest strain in terms of compression. The selected alumina membrane sample demonstrated excellent performance in the ultrafiltration of sugarcane juice, compared to the other process liquids.

The rate coefficients for the reaction with diazodiphenylmethane, in ethanol at 30.0°, of a number of substituted indole-2-carboxylic acids, indole-3-carboxylic acids, coumarin-3-carboxylic acids, coumarilic acids, and N-phenylglycines have been determined. The effect of substitution is assessed by use of adapted Hammett and Dewar–Grisdale relations. The relations give good correlations for oxygen-ring heterocyclic systems, and the relative ability of the systems to transmit π-electron effects has been determined. An anomalous perturbing effect appears to operate in the indole-carboxylic acid systems.

ABSTRACTTitanium alkoxides modified by carboxylic acids have been widely studied as the molecular precursors to ceramic materials. These alkoxide complexes have also been very useful in the formation of stable, porous, optically clear films having many novel applications such as chemical sensors, catalytic supports, and ion-exchange media. To improve the processing of these materials, it is essential to better understand the kinetics of the chemical transformations which occur.The kinetics of the hydrolysis reaction are studied for selected carboxylic acids using Raman spectroscopy to probe the chemistry of the process. The study has a special emphasis on the titanium isopropoxide-valeric acid system due to the superior quality of these films over other carboxylates. Greater knowledge of the hydrolysis kinetics allows increased control over the quality of the film materials and should be of general interest to those working with modified metal alkoxides.
