The effect of microwave heating on the hydrothermal synthesis of Al-substituted tobermorite and the removal characteristics of resulting materials were examined and compared with the effect of conventional heating. The microwave heating reduced the crystallization time of Al-substituted tobermorite—i.e., Al-substituted tobermorite was synthesized within 80 min at around 140 °C—and produced smaller crystallites than the conventional heating. The minute crystallites were found to promote the removal characteristics for Cs+ ions in short reaction time.

ABSTRACTThe use of a catalyst is required to synthesize poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA) and tin (II) 2-ethylhexanoate could be highlighted among them. However, this kind of catalysts can produce bio-dangerous compounds limiting the PLA in medical applications, therefore there is a need to investigate novel bio-safe catalysts. Taking into account this problem, this communication reports the use of micro- and nano-ZnO particles as catalysts for the microwave-assisted polymerization of D,L-lactide. By microwave heating a high monomer conversion (higher than 95%) was achieved in a relatively short reaction time (3 hours). Morphology/size and concentration of ZnO particles presented a strong effect on the production of PLA, star-like microparticles leaded to conversion ca. 25%, well below to the values achieved with the nanoparticles. Furthermore, the formation of a ZnO-PLA hybrid was evidenced by spectroscopic and thermal characterization techniques. The methodology herein developed represents a new pathway for the green synthesis of PLA.

Using microwave irradiation heating, isopropylβ-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-α-hydroxypropanoate was synthesised from 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and acetylglycine through the formation of 2-methyl-4-(3,4-acetoxybenzylene)oxazol-5-ones,α-acetylamino-β-(3,4-diacetoxyphenyl)acrylic acid, andβ-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)pyruvic acid followed by Clemmensen reduction and esterification. The reaction conditions in terms of operating parameters were optimised by using an orthogonal design of experiment (ODOE) approach, including reaction temperature, reaction time, and microwave power level. Compared with conventional heating, the reaction time was significantly reduced for all reactions and the product yields were increased (except for the third-step reaction) under microwave heating conditions. The most remarkable microwave enhancement was found in the step of isopropylβ-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-α-hydroxypropanoate production where the reaction time was reduced from 10 hrs (conventional heating) to 25 mins (microwave heating) whilst the yield was increased from 75.6% to 87.1%, respectively.

Background: Molecules containing the pyrazole subunit considered that privileged scaffolds are of high importance due to their broad spectrum of pharmacological activities. For this reason, a method that is more efficient needs to be developed for the preparation of pyrazole derivatives. Objective: The purpose of this study was the optimisation of the conventional synthesis of the pyrazole ring and the oxidation of phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde to phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid through Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis (MAOS). Method: We performed a comparison between conventional synthesis and conventional synthesis with microwave heating using the synthesis of pyrazole ring described by Finar and Godfrey and, for the oxidation of phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde, the method described by Shriner and Kleiderer was used. Results: MAOS reduces the reaction time to obtain all compounds compared to conventional heating. At a temperature of 60°C, 5 minutes of reaction time, and power of 50W, the yield of phenyl-1H-pyrazoles (3a-m) compounds was in the range of 91 - 98% using MAOS, which is better than conventional heating (73 - 90%, 75ºC, 2 hours). An improvement in the yield for the oxidation reaction was also achieved with MAOS. The compounds (5a-m) were obtained with yields ranging from 62 - 92% (80ºC, 2 minutes, 150W), while the yields with conventional heating were in the range of 48 - 85% (80ºC, 1 hour). The 26 compounds were achieved through an easy work-up procedure with no chromatographic separation. The pure products were characterised by the spectral data obtained from IR, MS, 1H and 13C NMR or HSQC/HMBC techniques. Conclusion: The advantages of MAOS include short reaction time and increased yield, due to which it is an attractive option for the synthesis of pyrazole compounds.

In the current study, microwave-assisted glycerol polymerization for short-chain polyglycerol production was conducted unprecedentedly over low-cost catalyst, lithium-modified aluminium pillared clay (Li/AlPC) catalysts without the solvent. The influences of disparate reaction parameters such as the effects of Li loadings (10, 20, 30 wt.%), catalyst loadings (2, 3, 4 wt.%), operating temperatures (200, 220, 240 °C) and operating times (1–4 h) on the glycerol conversions, and polyglycerol yield (particularly for diglycerol and triglycerol), were elucidated. The fresh catalysts were subjected to physicochemical properties evaluation via characterization techniques, viz. N2 physisorption, XRD, SEM, NH3-TPD and CO2-TPD. In comparison, 20 wt.% Li/AlPC demonstrated the best performance under non-conventional heating, credited to its outstanding textural properties (an increase of basal spacing to 21 Ȧ, high surface area of 95.48 m2/g, total basicity of 34.48 mmol/g and average pore diameter of 19.21 nm). Within the studied ranges, the highest glycerol conversion (98.85%) and polyglycerol yield (90.46%) were achieved when catalyst loading of 3 wt.%, reaction temperature of 220 °C and reaction time of 3 h were adopted. The results obtained also anticipated the higher energy efficiency of microwave-assisted polymerization than conventional technique (>8 h), as the reaction time for the former technology was shorter to attain the highest product yield. The study performed could potentially conduce the wise utilization of surplus glycerol generated from the biodiesel industry.

The microwave heating synthesis of (phthalocyaninato)bis(chloro)silicon(IV) prepared from diiminoisoindolene and silicon tetrachloride in quinoline has been shown to be rapid (5 min reaction time compared to 30 min with thermal heating) and results in a high yield (91% compared to 71% using thermal heating). A modified microwave ashing furnace was used to heat the reaction mixture. The high yield has led to a reduction in the purification time to 1 h (compared to 4 h or more using conventional heating).

AbstractThe preparation of eight 2,3-unsaturated O-glycosides from D-glycals and alcohols, using montmorillonite K-10 as an acid catalyst, is described. The Ferrier rearrangement products were obtained in good yields using conventional heating and microwave irradiation but the reaction time was substantially reduced employing the latter procedure. The yields were slightly lower under microwave exposure. Five of the di-O-acetylated products were deacetylated to the glycosides in excellent yields. The acetylated products possess good anti-inflammatory property suggesting that the acetyl group plays an important role in reducing the inflammation. Among the compounds tested, glycosides containing thiophene as an aglycone present much better inflammation reducing characteristics than the analogues without this function.

The vanadium slag (V-slag) is generated from smelting vanadium titanomagnetite ore, which contains valuable elements, such as V, Ti, Cr, Fe and Mn. The traditional methods were mainly focused on the extractions of V and Cr by oxidation or reduction processes. In the present work, chlorination method was adopted to keep the valence state of each elements as original state. In order to speed up the diffusion of elements and reduce volatility of molten salt, microwave heating has been examined in the current paper. The results indicated that it only took 30 min to chlorinate V-slag at 800 ?C, and the chlorination ratios of V, Cr, Mn, Fe and Ti could reach to 82.67%, 75.82%, 92.96%, 91.66% and 63.14%, respectively. Compared with the results by conventional heating for 8 h, this extraction rate by microwave heating shows greater advantages. In addition, microwave heating can reduce effectively volatilization of AlCl3 by shortening the reaction time. The volatilization ratio of AlCl3 in this microwave heating was 3.92% instead of 8.97% in conventional heating (1h). The mechanism of efficient chlorination can be summarized as the enhancement of ions diffusion process and enhanced chemical reaction due to local high temperature.
