Perovskite type ternary carbides of manganese Mn3MC (M = Al, Ga, In, Sn) are hydrolyzable by acids, water and air moisture. Mn3AlC is hydrolyzed most readily; its linear corrosion rate with liquid water is 0.3 μm h-1 at 60 °C, whereas the value for Mn3GaC is 0.06 μm h-1. The reactivity decreases with increasing nobleness of the nontransition metal involved. The hydrolysis process gives rise to a mixture of hydrogen and methane and a low amount of higher saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons whose fractions are consistent with the concept of the radical mechanism of the hydrolysis reaction.

The thermal hydrolysis process (THP) is a sludge treatment technique which affects anaerobic biodegradability, viscosity and dewaterability of waste activated sludge (WAS). In 2011 a THP-pilot plant was operated, connected to laboratory-scale digesters, at the water board Regge en Dinkel and in cooperation with Cambi A.S. and MWH Global. Thermal hydrolysis of WAS resulted in a 62% greater volatile solids (VS) reduction compared to non-hydrolysed sludge. Furthermore, the pilot digesters could be operated at a 2.3 times higher solids loading rate compared to conventional sludge digesters. By application of thermal sludge hydrolysis, the overall efficiency of the sludge treatment process can be improved.

Two types of lipase, Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and porcine pancreas lipase (PPL), were used to hydrolyze virgin coconut oil (VCO). The hydrolysis process was carried out under four parameters, VCO to buffer ratio, lipase concentration, pH, and temperature, which have a significant effect on hydrolysis of lipase. CRL obtained the best hydrolysis condition at 1 : 5 of VCO to buffer ratio, 1.5% of CRL concentration, pH 7, and temperature of 40°C. Meanwhile, PPL gave different results at 1 : 4 of VCO to buffer ratio, 2% of lipase concentration, pH 7.5, and 40°C. The highest hydrolysis degree of CRL and PPL was obtained after 16 hours and 26 hours, reaching 79.64% and 27.94%, respectively. Besides, the hydrolysis process was controlled at different time course (every half an hour) at the first 4 hours of reaction to compare the initial hydrolysis degree of these two lipase types. FFAs from hydrolyzed products were isolated and determined the percentage of each fatty acid which contributes to the FFAs mixture. As a result, medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) made up the main contribution in composition of FFAs and lauric acid (C12) was the largest segment (47.23% for CRL and 44.23% for PPL).

Perbandingan antara selulase dan β-1,4 glukosidase adalah 5:1 dengan masing-masing aktivitas enzim sebesar 144.5 FPU/mL dan 63 FPU/mL. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa model kinetika yang sesuai untuk proses hidrolisis TKKS secara enzimatik adalah model kinetika Shen dan Agblevor dengan reakside aktivasi enzim orde satu.  Hasil ini mendukung studi kelayakan ekonomi dalam pemanfaatan TKKS untuk produksi bioetanol.AbstractAs one of the crude palm oil producers, Indonesia also produces empty fruit bunches (EFB)in large quantities. The oil palm EFB consist of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Alkaline pretreatment of EFB, followed by enzymatic hydro-lysis of cellulose using combination of cellulase and β-glucosidase enzymes produce fermentable sugars. This paper reported the effects of substrate loading, enzyme concentration, and temperature of hydrolysis process on reducing sugar production. The  maximum  sugar  concentration (194.78 g/L) was produced at 50oC using 20% (w/v) EFB and 3.85% (v/v) mixed enzymes of cellulase and β-1,4 glucosidase in volume ratio of 5:1 (v/v), with enzyme activity of 144.5 FPU/mL and 63 FPU/mL, respectively. The results also showed that the suitable kinetic model for enzymatic hydrolysis process of oil palm EFB follow Shen and Agblevor model with first order of enzyme deactivation. These results support the economic feasibility study in utilization of EFB of oil palm for bioethanol production.

Magnesium hydride (MgH2) has a high hydrogen storage capacity (7.6 wt%) and the Mg element is abundant on the earth. Due to its strong reduction ability, even at room temperature it can provide the hydrogen yield reaching 15.2 wt% H (1703 mL/g) when interacting with water, which makes it very attractive for the application in supplying hydrogen for autonomous H energy systems. However, the hydrolysis reaction is rapidly inhibited by the Mg(OH)2 passivation layer formed on the surface of MgH2. In order to remove the passivation film and improve the efficiency of the MgH2 hydrolysis process, several methods including alloying, ball milling, changing the aqueous solution, have been successfully utilized. In this paper the process of hydrolysis of magnesium hydride in aqueous solutions of MgCl2 used as a promotor of the interaction has been studied in detail. It was found that the initial hydrolysis rate, pH of the reaction mixture, and overall reaction yield are all linearly dependent of the logarithm of MgCl2 concentration. It has been shown that pH of the reaction mixture in the presence of MgCl2 is well described by considering a system “weak base and its salt with strong acid” type buffer solution. Reference data for this hydrolysis reaction were also carefully analyzed. The mechanism and the kinetic model of the process of MgH2 hydrolysis in water solutions involved passivation of the MgH2 surface by the formed Mg(OH)2 precipitate followed by its repassivation have been proposed. The obtained after the hydrolysis reactions precipitates were studied using XRD and EDS. It was found also that the final products of reaction consist of Mg(OH)2 (brucsite type) and remaining MgH2. This fact shows that the formation of solid species such as MgCl2 xMgO yH2O at the studied conditions is unlikely and decreasing of pH the reaction mixture has a different nature.

The acidic hydrolysis of astilbin to produce its aglycone, taxifolin, was investigated in this study. The effects of aq. HCl concentration and temperature on the reaction were studied, and the kinetic parameters were calculated. The results showed that with higher aq. HCl concentration and temperature, the hydrolysis of astilbin became faster. The activation energy of the hydrolysis reaction under 1 mol L−1 aq. HCl was calculated with a value of 148.6 kJ mol−1. The reaction was successfully applied to produce taxifolin from a sample of Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae. A simple method for the purification of taxifolin from Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae was developed with purity of 97.5%.

AbstractAlkoxysilanes and organoalkoxysilanes are primary materials in several industries, e.g. coating, anti-corrosion treatment, fabrication of stationary phase for chromatography, and coupling agents. The hydrolytic polycondensation reactions and final product can be controlled by adjusting the hydrolysis reaction, which was investigated under a variety of conditions, such as different alkoxysilanes, solvents, and catalysts by using gas chromatography. The hydrolysis rate of alkoxysilanes shows a dependence on the alkoxysilane structure (especially the organic attachments), solvent properties, and the catalyst dissociation constant and solubility. Some of the alkoxysilanes exhibit intramolecular catalysis. Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the enhancement of the hydrolysis reaction, as well as the dipole moment of the alkoxysilanes, especially in acetonitrile. There is a relationship between the experimentally calculated polarity by the Taft equation and the reactivity, but it shows different responses depending on the solvent. It was found that negative and positive charges are respectively accumulated in the transition state in alkaline and acidic media. The reaction mechanisms are somewhat different from those previously suggested. Finally, it was found that enthalpy–entropy compensation (EEC) effect and isokinetic relationships (IKR) are exhibited during the hydrolysis of CTES in different solvents and catalysts; therefore, the reaction has a linear free energy relationship (LFER).

Cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) is convertible into glucose by hydrolysis process, which usually requires a catalyst. A solid acid catalyst of sulfonated carbon was used in this work. This study aimed to observe the viability of candlenut shell as carbonaceous source in solid acid catalyst production and to characterize the sulfonated carbon. The carbonization was performed at 250-550 ºC for 4 h, while sulfonation was carried out at 100-180 ºC for 6 h. Sulfonated carbon was then characterized by H+ activity/acid density test, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Sulfonated carbon was then tested as a heterogeneous catalyst for hydrolysis reaction. The reaction was performed in a stainless steel batch reactor at 100 ºC for 6 h. Glucose formed by hydrolysis was measured by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. Results of this study suggested that sulfonated carbon derived from candlenut shell may be used as a catalyst for cogon grass cellulose hydrolysis to produce glucose

Given the pH dependence of enzymes in general and the potential importance of a blood and alveolar gas composition dependency on the interpretation of changes in the hydrolysis of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) substrates by pulmonary endothelial ACE, we examined the influence of Pco2 and Po2 on the hydrolysis of a synthetic ACE substrate (benzoyl-phenylalanyl-alanyl-proline, BPAP) on passage through isolated rabbit lungs. Perfusate pH values of about 7.1, 7.4, and 7.9 were obtained by ventilating the lungs with gas containing different CO2 concentrations and Po2 values of approximately 110 and approximately 10 Torr were obtained by varying the concentration of O2 in the ventilating gas mixture. In the range studied neither acidosis nor alkalosis produced any significant changes in BPAP hydrolysis or in the kinetic parameters, Vmax and Km, for the hydrolysis process. On the other hand, a reduction in BPAP hydrolysis was detected when the Po2 was reduced from 110 to 10 Torr. The Vmax for BPAP hydrolysis by the lung was inversely correlated with the magnitude of the hypoxic vasoconstriction that occurred, suggesting that the reduced BPAP hydrolysis with hypoxia was due to the loss of perfused surface area due to the vasoconstriction. The results suggest that correlations between Pco2 and/or pH and whole-lung ACE activity that might occur in diseased lungs do not imply causalty. The hemodynamic consequences of changing Po2 (i.e., hypoxic vasoconstriction) may alter whole-organ ACE activity in the sense of changing the perfused surface area (i.e., the amount of ACE in contact with flowing perfusate).
